I'm Coming For You [A Duolingo Creepypasta] ☑️

XV. Escaping

I opened my eyes to see what was the reason of that strange stabbing without pain. Only to widen my eyes at seeing a bloodied knife protruding from Duo's stomach.

Duo let out an ear piercing scream before he fell dead to the floor, to reveal the person who had stabbed him from the back. I was more than relieved to find that it was Karl.

"Karl!"

He looked at me and became worried for the cuts on my body, but before he could walk towards me, something very strange happened.

The entire house started to shake, and I watched horrified as Duo's dead body lit up in fire.

"Hurry! We have to get you out of here!" Karl said, pulling out the knife from Duo's back so he could use it to cut the ropes that restrained my hands and feet.

"Come on!" He said, grabbing my hand and standing me up from the chair.

Only to have lots of pieces of burning ceiling fall on top of me. Soon the fire was being fed by all the furniture in my house.

"No!" Karl exclaimed, trying to get off the pieces of concrete off me.

"Karl... Just leave me here."

"Are you crazy? I didn't come here to see you die! I came here to save you!"

"I know... And I'm thankful that you came to save me from dying in the wings of that beast."

"If I saved you from that beast, then I'm going to save you from getting roasted in this fire!" He said as he continued throwing pieces of concrete off of my body.

"Please, Karl, don't bother! I appreciate what you're doing for me, but I don't want you to die either. So please just leave me here and save yourse-"

"I said I'm not going to leave you here! You've been my best friend since childhood! You won't die by the actions of this crazy owl! You still have a whole life ahead. So please, Darrius, help me to take you out of here."

He then proceeded to continue removing the debris from my body. He really did not want to lose me and I didn't want that either, so I was going to fight for our friendship. I decided to help him by moving my body little by little out of the disaster. The cuts in my body hurt like hell, but I needed to fight the pain if I wanted to survive.

"You're almost there!" Karl encouraged me. When half of my body was out of it, he took my hands and helped me to get out fully.

I stood up to my feet as more pieces of concrete fell from above. We ran as fast as possible until Karl kicked open the door, breaking it, and we were finally out into the cold night air.

We turned around and watched as my house crumbled and burnt into pieces. I was still shaking after everything that had happened. Karl wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into a hug. I hugged him back as a sign of my thankfulness for taking me out of that place and saving my life.

"It's okay... Everything's going to be fine."

Some firefighters arrived shortly after to extinguish the flames. I was still clutching to Karl for dear life. As if afraid that that damned owl would be back again.

Finally, it was over.

Or that's what I thought when I saw HIM again, right behind Karl's shoulder. I panicked.

"HE'S HERE! BEHIND YOU!" I screamed.

Karl quickly turned to look behind him, and so did the firefighters. Then Karl turned to look at me with a confused expression.

"Darrius... There's nothing there."
