Switch Blade Romance

The Escape.

And The Sky was made of Amethyst.......

March 2nd, 9;30 am.

Sneedville Tennessee.

When it happened it felt like it went on forever. It felt like an eternity. Or at least that's what Andrew would later think. Most important Crucial moments always happen slowly.

Are you sure this is going to work? Sam asked Andrew. Andrew nodded,  it should i mean if we all play our parts and we move as quickly as possible. I mean we will only have one shot at this. Kayleigh do you understand what I need you to do? Kayleigh was sitting against the wall across from Andrew and Sam. Yes she said, but how do you know he will go after me first? I don't know that he will said Andrew. He might not, i do know however that he will most likely try to save Sam for me. He is big on sacrificing men. Just then they heard movement upstairs, it sounded like Charles was shuffling around in the living room or the master bedroom. Andrew looked at Kayleigh and Sam i don't know when My friends or the cops will get here. I don't even know if they will. Rachel may not even check her phone or they'll think it's a hoax. Sam spoke up next.  Well don't the cops still have to come out? I mean even if they think it's a hoax. They still have to do a welfare check, that's what my cousin Cody says. He's a cop in Chattanooga. Yeah they might said Andrew, but it could be too late by then. Just then they heard Charles walk out of the house and onto the porch. " what the fuck is he doing Andrew thought."  For a small terrifying moment Andrew thought Charles might be trying to take The car and leave them down there to starve.  Then he heard Charles walk back into the house and towards the kitchen. " You guys remember what I told you said Andrew." Looking at Kayleigh and Sam. Yes they both said, Sam looked extremely nervous and Kayleigh looked like she might faint at any moment. The cellar door opened and Andrew heard Charles foot steps begin to slowly advance down them. " Honey I'm home!" Charles called out in a playful voice. Andrew winced at the sound of his voice, Charles stood at the foot of the stairs looking down at them. " I hope the kiddies were good for you while I was at work, or else Daddy will have to spank them." He chuckled, Kayleigh began to cry. " please Mr please let us go I swear we won't tell. I want to see my mom and my little brother and sister. They're 12&14. They need me please stop this.... Charles moved towards her and slapped her down. She cried out. Sam rushed to her side and kneeled beside her, Andrew looked at them. Charles grabbed him by the shoulder and turned him towards to face him. Are you ready to do this baby? Andrew smiled and nodded, yes I'm ready lover.... Charles grabbed Kayleigh by the hair and drug her to the table Sam looked at Andrew and Andrew shook his head. " get over here now" boomed Charles. Andrew advanced towards him, you're going to sacrifice this one and we're going to keep the boy as a play thing. Sam looked wide eyed and scared, Kayleigh was crying and begging for help.... " And the sky was made...." "Andrew" Charles said looking at him take the knife while I tie her up. Charles handed Andrew a long curved bladed knife. It gleamed in the dull light of the basement. " you only have one shot at this Andrew. Don't fuck it up" are you ready?  said Charles looking at Andrew. Andrew smiled, yes I think I am now! " all the stars looked just like little fish"  Charles Grady never forgot the way Andrews face changed from calm, to angry, to scared. All in the span of what seemed to be twenty seconds. He was looking at Andrew and then the next thing he knew he felt blinding pain. Andrew had stabbed him! Andrew was screaming as he stuck the knife into Charles stomach Sam was on his feet untying Kayleigh and helping her down off the table. Charles gasped in pain and let out a yell that rebounded off the basement walls. He pushed Andrew away and swung at him but missed, Andrew had ducked out of his way. He was now pushing Sam and Kayleigh towards the basement steps. Charles tried to run to them but the pain in his abdomen was too great. He looked down and realized the knife was still in him. Almost to the hilt! Had it pierced any organs or arteries.... He didn't fucking know. He just knew his fucking husband had stabbed him and was getting away from him. Andrew had reached the halfway point on the stairway when he heard Charles stumbling behind them on the stairs.  He looked back and saw blood gushing from charles mouth.  " Andrew you fucking pussy this is it! I'm finally gonna fucking tear you apart. I'm gonna kill you, you mother fucker!" Andrew yelled for Kayleigh and Sam to hurry. Sam cleared the basement first and then Kayleigh then Andrew. He stood in the kitchen looking at the others. Quick help me push this chair under the door please. Sam pushed a sturdy wooden table to Andrew, who then pushed it under the door knob. At that very moment a loud slam came at the door. It shook the door right on its hinges, Sam screamed. " let's get out of here please!" Andrew nodded yes let's go, the door won't hold forever. They ran towards the front door and for a moment, just a moment. Andrew was afraid it'd be locked but once he saw Kayleigh open it and run out onto the porch his fear subsided. They ran down the porch steps and to the car. Kayleigh got behind the drivers side and Sam got in the back. Just as Andrew had shut the passenger door a loud cracking sound came from in the house. Oh no Andrew screamed, we've got to go now! Kayleigh started the car and was backing up. When Charles stumbled out onto the porch. The occupants of the Ford Fusion screamed. Go Kayleigh Please said Andrew, Kayleigh backed the car out of the driveway and turned onto the dirt road. Charles was running down the driveway towards them. The car took off down the road! Where are we going said Sam. Andrew looked at him, anywhere we just gotta find people. Kayleigh looked in the rearview mirror, do you think he'll follow us?  she said looking at Andrew. Yes he will but we have a head start and he's hurt pretty badly so he'll be slow. The car kept moving forward trees and dust zoomed by and then Andrew heard what he could only think of as the most beautiful sound in the world. A police siren. The others heard it to, then they saw it up ahead was a sheriffs SUV, it was speeding in the direction of the House but began to slow when he saw the car. Kayleigh slowed too, the deputy pulled up next to them and rolled his window down.  Kayleigh rolled hers down too! " are you the folks who made that post on Facebook? About Andrew Grant? Before they could say anything. The deputy looked at Andrew with wide eyes. " my God boy are you him?" Andrew nodded, yes sir I am Andrew.
