Till Death Do Us Part

The Brown Eyed Lamb

BOOM BOOM
Louis jolts awake to the sound of monstrous thunder overhead. He looks around and notices he is in Clementine's room. He realizes that the bed is cold with only his body in it. "Clementine?" He whispers into the dark. Where did she go he thinks to himself. The boy sits on the edge of the bed.

The sky continues its roar. The moonlight was strong, giving his surroundings clarity but giving off an eerie vibe. The earth is crying to itself.

The boy looks towards the window. The rain droplets are fat and hit the broken glass with impressive force. "LOUIS!" A muffled voice cries from the door. The boy is startled and jumps back. He couldn't make out the inaudible feminine voice. Clementine? He jogs towards the door and opens it.

"AAAAHHHH!" The feminine voice screeches as the boy opens the door. A powerful wave of thunder claimed the air. The voice came from down the hallway. He jogs down the hallway and the feminine voice becomes louder and more distinct "GET RUBY!". Clementine! The boy recognizes the voice. The sky releases another thundering wave of vibrations.

The hallway is filled with blood. The boy cautiously walks down the long hallway towards the double doors leading out of the admin building. The sticky blood oozes down the walls and drips to the red painted floor. "CLEMENTINE!" This was a different voice. The voice of AJ broke through the thunderous sky. "AJ?" The boy questions cautiously. The storm outside seems to grow wilder.

The boy's legs start to tremble in fear the closer he gets to the doors. He can't seem to breath and his throat starts to tighten. "MINNIE!" The voice of Violet pierced through the storm.

By the time he makes it to the doors, his body has been covered with the blood from the leaky ceiling. The screeches and cries have only intensified the closer he got. He reached out and touched the handles to the doors.

BANG BANG
The boy jumps from the smashing noise behind him. The door to the basement was shaking as if someone was trying to get out but it was locked. He unconsciously moved towards the door. He twists the handle and it is unlocked. The boy timidly peers his head through the crack and scans the environment. A small figure sits with its back turns toward him. "Hello?" The boys voice is shaky and terrified.

The small figure's features are hard for him to identify but he can tell that she has blonde hair. He can hear her soft whimpers. He opens the door and makes his way down to her. As he gets closer he sees blood painted on the left side of her neck. "Louis?" The little figure's voice is feminine and gentle. She turns her face to his. The boy stops abruptly. A guilt filled inside of him that he hasn't felt since she died "Grace?" The pitch of his voice was sharp and higher pitched than usual.

The little girl stood up and turned her small body towards his. Her loose clothing reveals a massive bite mark on her tiny neck. Their eyes lock "I'm sorry." The boy weeps to her. He drops to his knees which brings him eye level with the girl. "I missed you." The little girls plump voice hits his soul. She scans his bloody body and runs to embrace him.

She tightens her grip on his neck. Tears break through both of their eyes. Without breaking from his neck she whispers into his ear "She needs you." Her body disappears from his. He loses her touch and she fades with the wind. "LOUIS!" Clementine's voice bursts into his eardrums from the cellar door.

He makes his way to the metal doors and pushes it open. He's met with the downpour of earth's tears. "NO! AJ!" He hears her voice again but this time it is more sad than desperate. He looks all around but the heavy rain blurs most of his vision. The storm is unnaturally powerful and is restless.
