A week went by with no word from the sheriff. I had begun to think that Josephine never told him about me.

"Hey Cheryl someones here for you!" My mother yelled.  I rushed down the stairs and to the front door.

"Bill-" I stopped in my tracks. It was Brandy.

"Hey." She said awkwardly.

"Hi." I said slipping outside into the chilly air.

"How'd you find my house?" I asked.

"Brittany, I thought we could go on a walk?"

"Yeah sure let me get my shoes." She nodded as I went inside. I slipped on my coat and some tennis shoes. I then headed back to a waiting Brandy.

"Soo what did you want to talk about?"

"Well I knew you went to the police and wanted to know what happened."

"Nothing, I haven't heard anything." I sighed truthfully.

"Well lets go right now."

"Really."

"Yeah I have my car."

"Okay lets go."

We drove halfway to the station when I spotted the sheriff pulling over a shifty teenager.

"Sheriff!" I called hopping out of the car. He looked up his grey brows lifting up in surprise.

"Yes Miss Baker?" He asked handing the ticket to the car. Once he did the car sped off. Sheriff Montgomery was a tall man aging man who everyone liked.

"I was wondering if your secretary ever gave you my sexual assault report." His brows furrowed in confusion."Guess not." I sighed disappointed.

"Come to the station with me we'll talk there." I nodded and headed back to Brandys car. I looked her smiled and we both squealed.

"Oh my gosh Finally!" Brandy exclaimed following the police car.

"So tell me what happened again." Mr Montgomery said leaning forward in his chair. Brandy and I explained our stories again.

"Are there any witnesses to this."

"Yes-"

"No-" Brandy said at the same time I said yes.

"Yes for me No for her."

"Okay,  we'll set up a trial for January." He told us.

"Okay thank you so much." I exclaimed shaking hands with him. Me and brandy told him goodbye before heading outside.

Once we were outside. Me and Brandy started dancing.

"Finally those assholes get what they deserved." Brandy sighed. I smiled at her before we both got in her car.

A couple nights after we talked to the Sheriff gun shots rang  though the small town of Derry. I jolted awake and quickly  looked out the window. Someone a street away had shot a gun.  I quickly slipped out of my bed and put on some winter boots. I was hurrying to see what happened That I didn't put a coat on. What a mistake that was. Outside was freezing. It was almost 20 degrees. Snow was falling lightly in the air, it was almost peaceful. In fact it would have been if I hadn't seen the horror in front of me. 

"Holy Fuck Eli?!" I said bewildered. He was sitting on the ground sobbing into his hands,  a gun laying off to the right with the bodies of...

Oh Gosh,  with the dead bodies of Earl and George Warren

"What did you do,  Me and Brandy had it handled?" I asked calmly.

"I..I dont know,  they came knocking on the door and asked for Brandy. I told them No, I knew who they were shes my twin she tells me everything. They dragged me outside and started waving a gun in my face and threatening me, well Earl did, hes the one that tried to rape you ya know,  anyway George is kinda just his back up man. Anyways so I whipped out my dads gun that I always have when I answer. So then Earl charged at me so out of fear I shot him. And then George saw what I did and and I just shot him." He sobbed a look that was something between horror and shock painted on his face.

"E?" The voice of Brandy rung through the air. He looked up at his sister. Her mouth was slightly ajar and her breath came out in short puffs.

"B..." Was all he said before she ran to him.

"Listen to me its going to be okay." She shushed him. Stroking his head. Police sirens started going off in the distance getting louder as time went on.

"Oh fuck their coming for me." Elijah  started panicking. It was true they were. Police cars whirled around the corner and pulled to a stop in the middle of the street. Sheriff Montgomery stepped out of the first car and approached us.

"Alright what happened here." He said a firmness in his voice I had never heard before.

Eli faced him and preceded to tell him what happened.

The night ended up with Eli confessing and the police taking him away.

I was now sitting outside in the cold doing my best to try and comfort Brandy. My arm was wrapped around her shoulder and her head was on my shoulder. Our breath came out white in the cold air.

"Im sorry Brandy." I told her.

"Its okay, at least we don't have to worry about them anymore." She tried to joke but fell short.

"Brand?" A voice said. I looked up and saw her Mother and Father come out to the porch. Brandy stood up and ran into her parent's arms. I took that as my cue to leave. I slipped back into my house and up to my room, hopping to fall asleep before school the next day.
