RIVERS END

CHAPTER TWO

Then night the monster came,krist had the shouting in his sleep.it made him whimper and twist.dont hurt her,he thought.dont hurt my mama.please please daddy.
He woke up with a scream in his head and wanted his mother.

As he approached the stairs,he saw the light were on down stairs and the front door was open..he thought maybe tonight they had company but the vases were broken,tables overturned,there was a horrible smell,one that seemed to paint krist's throat with something vile and had his stomach rippling.

Blood was smearing on the white floor.he stepped in and he saw..his mother lay on his side one hand flung out fingers spread out,her shiny black hair wet with blood.the white robe she'd worn was also red..he couldnt scream.his eyes rounded and bulged in his head',his heart bumped painfully against his ribs and a tickle of urine slipped down his legs.

The moster that crouched over his mother with blood on his clothes,face and hands looked up.
Krist''his father said''God krist
And he stumbled up on his feet,he saw the silver sciscors in his hands.still he didnt scream but he ran and hid in his closet.

The monster called slammed the doors,sobbed and screamed,crashing through the house calling his name..he curled up and waited for his mother to come and wake him up from his bad dream.

Thats where Mr.rojnapay found him..he didnt move nor make a sound..the eyes of the child looked at him and he saw his mothers eyes he thought with grim pity..eyes he had seen dozens of times on the movie screen.

Am frank rojnapat,''he spoke quietly,kept his eyes on him''am not going to hurt you am a policeman..he continued to stare but he thought he caught a flicker in his eyes..we help people am here to take care of you...you want to come out now?he held out a hand and waited.his lifted like a puppet on the string then tumbled into his arms shivering now with his  face buried on his shoulder..
He'd been a cop for ten years but his heart still ripped..

The monster's here,he whispered it.
  Hes gone now frank assured him.

They then took krist to his aunts house...after the burial the police came back for questioning..
Where are you going grandpa?we havent finished the puzzle.he glanced back fighting the tears that wanted to swim into his eyes..i'll be back krist love.dont grow up while am gone..he giggled at that but his thumb had found its way into his mouth as he stared at frank.

He knew who he was the policeman  with long arms and green eyes..hi krist,frank crouched down.do you remember me?he nodded and spoke around his thumb.you are frank the policeman.you chased the monster.is he coming back?No.
Can you find my mama?she had to go to heaven and she must be lost.can you go find her?

I wish i could,frank sat on the floor.folded his legs as his grandfather had.
Tears welled into his eyes,trembled on her lashes at cut at franks heart..is it because she's a star?stars to be in heaven.
Yes love but she will always look out for you..kristo relaxed answered a few questions.

My singto also has bad dreams too..is singto your little boy?how old is he?he's ten now.do you want to see his photo?uh..huh,krist scooted  closer as frank took out his wallet and flipped through.cocking his head he studied the school photo of a boy with untidy brown hair and a wide grin.he's pretty.maybe he can come over to play.maybe.
