Dream Gone Wrong

Chapter 8

     I kept running as fast as I could without turning back. I was trying to find the closest house that had a car parked, so I'd be sure someone was in it. I was just really scared that the evil clone was following me right now and would try killing me when I knocked at someone's house door. But I tried not to worry about anything, because that made me feel anxious and made me run slower, which I couldn't let happen.

      I quickly ran to a small house with a nice garden and red mustang parked at the driveway of it. I headed to the door of it as fast I could and knocked super hard and mega fast. Please open soon. PLEASE open soon! I prayed in my mind. That's the only thing to do right now. I turned around, still out of breath, and thankfully the clone was out of sight. For now, at least.

     Finally, the dark brown door opened and an old black lady greeted me crankily. "What is it, baby?"

     I dashed into her house before she could even let me in and said,"Somebody's after me right now. Close the door before she sees me!"

     With the door still open, the woman turned around, looking at me, and said,"You're just a little girl, that can't be possible! Y'all are playing the game of tag, huh? I remember doing that back when I was your age, sweetheart!"

      I shook my head and rubbed the tears out of my eyes. My mouth opened but I couldn't say anything. No words came out of my mouth. I was too scared. I knew she would be coming soon. I ran to the door and slammed it as hard as I could, then locking it.

      "You can't stay in here forever, you know!" she said, walking slouchily as an old lady would, and then walking into her living room. "I've got to go and watch my granddaughter's funeral."

      Soon that funeral would be mine. I thought, but still felt deep sorrow for the woman. The daughter of her daughter had just died. Poor girl. She was probably young, too.

    BSHZING! A loud noise came. I turned around and realized the sound had came from the evil clone breaking into the house by the window of this lady's house. The little shards of glass fell into the house onto the wooden floor. No. No. No. This can't be happening. Please no... The clone ran towards us and then jumped onto the old woman, choking her.

     "No!" I exclaimed, watching the horrible sight.

     I couldn't even see it anymore. The lady was so sweet and she would miss her granddaughter's funeral because she was about to have her own, too... but I had to worry about my own safety, too, so I ran to the door and unlocked it, then took out of the house, full of fright and sadness and nervousness. I knew that I couldn't run forever and I'd have to somehow escape another way. At this point I was just too tired to even walk anymore. I sighed and fell down onto the ground, full of tiredness. I was tired of fighting back. But I had to keep on pushing. I'm not just going to give up now. I've risked everything. I'm the reason a poor old grandmother was killed today. I felt so guilty and sad about her.

     "Oh, you finally have got the brains and know that you should stop running now!" the evil clone creeped up on me and sat next to me on the wet grass.

     We were in a forest right now. Great. The perfect place to get murdered at. Why did I choose to come here? At least if it was at a public area, people would be able to see me and help.

     I sighed and said,"Look, I don't have time for your stupid games of hide and seek or tag right now. So just tell me at last, what the fuck do you want from us?"

     She laughed, an evil witch laugh, and replied to me,"Oh, you silly girl. Your best friend, Selina, or should I say Monse, is gone. So why say 'us'?"

     My heart dropped. Gone? As in... dead? I gasped. I could feel my whole world falling apart. My best friend who I've gone through with right and wrong, who has been my best friend since we were in diapers, is now...gone. I couldn't believe it. I just prayed to god that she was joking with me right now, even though death was a horrible joke. I was about to cry, but instead of being a baby, I was stronger than that and stayed neutral with no tears.

     "Stop beating around the bush, bitch, and tell me what the hell you want from me?" I said, slapping her face hard.

     Her jaw dropped and she glared at me, a death glare. "Oh, I see. You want to keep attacking me, huh? Alright, I know what you want from me, at least... ¡Piper, haz que vengan los atacantes aquí para que puedan lidiar con esta pequeña perra!"

     She said something in Spanish that I didn't understand, so just from that I could already tell she was going to do something to me. I was scared, but prepared. I turned around and found a gang of Hispanic, black, and white men coming for me. They were big. They had giant muscles and were tall as hell, so for sure these strong asses were about to me beat me up, and if not, they'd kill me.

     The clone laughed at me as I stood up, scared for my lives as the giant gang of strong men came towards me, each with a small black pistol. I've never seen a gun in my life before...unless in movies or shows, but not in real life! I took a deep breath and said a prayer to god right now, and then looked up at them.

     "ATTACK!" Selina's evil clone yelled and they all came to me.

     I started running but then the sound of gunshots startled me. It sounded exactly the same as it sounded when I was at the dumpster before. What if they're the gang that Mrs. Turner set up...what if my agent is apart of all of this...AAAHH!

     I heard a gunshot very loudly and felt something very hard go into the back of my right leg. I fell down on my chest on the ground and started coughing out my blood. Someone shot me. It was my time to go.
