MadArcher💚 [Once Upon A Time]

Chapter 19

I couldn't believe this was happening to me. Why me? What was so special about me? I felt like I couldn't breathe. Something was wrong? I felt like dying. I didn't want to think about it. The last time I saw my mother we had a fight. The last time I saw her I... I was angry too. I can't die. They will think I hated them in my last moments. I have to hold on. Wait, I can see a light. And a shadow. Someone is coming towards me. I don't want to think it, but I did. What is he holding in his hand?

Tilly's POV:

2 hours earlier

Rogers told me who called him. The cameras had seen Nick. He needed something at the store. We drove there as fast as we could. ''Stay here'' Rogers said. I knew Nick was a dangerous man. I know Rogers didn't want to put me in danger. I needed to listen. But only this time. I nodded and Rogers ran inside. It was quiet on the streets. No one was around. I sighed. This was getting boring. I needed to kill the time with something. As I looked around I noticed something. A man. He was running away. Holding something. He looked suspicious and I recognized him. Then he ran around the corner. It could be him. I stepped outside the car and ran in that direction. Maybe he was still in the store with Rogers, but I couldn't take the risk. I know Margot probably hates me. I am a weird person and I make mistakes too. Maybe this was it. But I couldn't let her get killed. I would never forgive myself. I ran around the corner too. It wasn't as quiet on that street as it was in the one before. I looked around, searching for the man. He was dressed in black clothes. It was easy to notice in Summer. I ran after him. I knew what I needed to do. 

I followed him a long time. I was exhausted and thought I was gonna give up. But then he went into a house. That's where Margot was supposed to be. There was no other way. I first catched my breathe. I had no idea what I was gonna do if he had a gun or anything. But I had to try. I walked to the door, took a deep breath and opened the door. 

It was dark inside and it gave me scary thoughts. I couldn't stop thinking about a Horror movie I saw a few months ago. It was still haunting me in my dreams. I made a mistake watching that movie. But I had to focus. Margot had to be here somewhere. It took a minute before my eyes got used to the dark. When they finally did, I looked around. It looked like a normal house. That was probably necessary for when the police would knock on the door. A basement. I would keep a prisoner in a basement. In the dark. I couldn't stop picturing Margot in some dark basement, cold and scared. She was probably more scared than I was right now, and that was saying something. 

I tried to be as quiet as possible. He wasn't here. I kept thinking about the basement. I was searching for it. I thought the silence here was odd. It shouldn't be when someone is in the house. My heart pounded in my chest. Yes! Finally. This door could lead to the basement. I opened it, carefully, but no, it was the bathroom. It smelled horrible in there. 

I hoped to be more lucky when I opened the second door. This time I found it. It was dark down there and I couldn't stop thinking about a killer clown. I took a deep breath and walked downstairs. I did one step and then I realized that there had to be a light somewhere. I searched to wall with my hand, afraid of what I might touch. I found a button and pressed it. A light popped on downstairs and I could see where I was going. I was relieved. I walked downstairs, as quiet and fast as I could. It was a big and scary basement with a lot of spiders. And I hate spiders. I looked around. There was an old door. I heard someone breathe and it had to be Margot. Then someone turned off the lights...

And I knew that was not Margot...
