"Mom please" I begged, mom had been busy all week and finally had the day off "I want to show you my favourite place". She looked at me and laughed "ok sweetheart, but it might snow soon, let's grab the scarfs and the gloves". Once we where all bundled up, we left the house, locking the door behind us. We where walking for at least 20 minutes, just chit chatting about school, if I was seeing anyone. I was curious about if she got the promotion she wanted, she's an designer, to be specific a architect. She'd been waiting for months to get that promotion "not yet, but I can feel it coming" she says. She was always optimistic. That's one of the things I loved about her.
~Crunch crunch~
We hear a strange noise coming from the bushes, "h-hello" I say, no answer, there is a faint whispering that I can't understand but seams to terrify mom. "It was probably just the wi," I'm cut off by my mom grabbing my shoulders "I need to to do something ok," she pulls the house keys out of her pocket, "I need you to run home as fast as you can, lock all the doors and windows and call the police ok?" I was so confused, but I grabbed the keys, that was mistake number one "mom what's going on" I ask. She looks around still frightened as hell by the noise from the bushes "your 15 now, you can handle it, now run", she lets go of my shoulders and I turn around to go home, mistake number two. "Are you coming with me" I ask she looks at me, tears in her eyes "I'll be there soon, I promise" then there is another whisper, this one I understand "don't make promises you can't keep" , I knew that that wasn't the wind. "Mom," I start but she turns and yells at me, in full waterfall tears "RUN SKYLER" and I did as she told. And that, mistake number three, was the biggest one of them all. "NEVER TURN AROUND" I hear her yell in the distance, then I hear another voice "you can't keep her FROM ME FOREVER" screaming the last part, but the last thing I heard was my mothers screams, and the repeated sound of a knife, stabbing flesh.
When I had gotten home I did as she told me, I locked everything and called the police,
-911 what's your emergency?
-My mother was just murdered and he's coming after me
-where are you?
As I was about to answer, I hear ponding on the door followed by shouting "SKYLER PLEASE, OPEN THE DOOR, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, ILL MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND". "Please help" I whispered into the phone, "police are already on there way, please stay where you are, are you safe" "n-no, he's at my door screaming at me" "what's he saying" she asks, she sounds more panicked then me "he's saying that I don't understand and that he will make me understand". The operator goes silent "understand what" she said, but with the silence, I noticed he had stopped "hello, what do you not understand" she repeated. Then from right behind me I hear "why I killed her", I could feel there breath on my neck. "POLICE OPEN UP", they continuously pound on the door. I'm to scared to move. To breath. To think. "Please don't hurt me" I say, on the verge of tears "what's going on, is he in the house with you. HE'S IN THERE WITH HER" I hear the operator shout into the walki-talki on the other end. All of a sudden the door is being broke down and I hear one last thing from my mothers killer "I'll find you again, I promised your mother I would find you". Then the door was broken down and he had jumped out the back window and ran, a few officers went after him, but then I got dizzy, and the last thing I remember about that day was seeing the "happy 15th birthday Skyler" sign on the wall, then it went dark. And I heard my mother say something "I love you, be strong" followed by the screams of officers as I fell to the floor and shut down.
Happy birthday me.
More like happy death day mom.
