The Kidnapper

Chapter 7:

"Why is this happening to me!" Jenny screamed at the sky.

She was scared and angry. Two emotions that brought out the monster in Jenny. She climbed out of the water and ran off into the woods.

" Will?" Jonas said.

"Yeah. What?" Will was in a daze, still stunned by Andrew.

"Shouldn't you go after her?" Jonas seemed worried about Jenny.

"No. I learned not to do that." 

"Why?" Jonas asked.

"The summer before her brother went to college, he kept calling her from his friend's phone and giving her death threats and then one night he crawled through her window and held a fake knife over her head. She started screaming and I was asleep beside her and I got up and turned the light on and we both started laughing. She got mad at me for being in on it so she slapped me when I tried to apologize." Kim and Jonas held back their laughs.

They could just picture the whole situation. Soon another scream was heard from the woods. It was Jenny. Everyone got out of the water and ran the way she had went through the woods. She kept screaming. Then a harsh laugh erupted through the woods as if the person laughing was tottering someone and enjoying it.

"Get out of my head you demon!" Jenny screamed.

When the three got to Jenny her eyes were blood red. Andrew had been controlling her. She twitched as if she were insane. She charged Will and he grabbed her waist and lifted her in the air. Will was a wrestler that fought people twice his size. Picking up Jenny was like picking up a leaf compared to the people he has lifted and thrown on the ground. Her arms and legs were flying, kicking at Will. He dropped her on her back and she moaned. They watched as a white fog lifted out of Jenny's chest. Andrew then appeared, glaring at Will.

Will picked Jenny up off the ground, her leg was limp and she couldn't stand. Will was red hot. Andrew had hurt her, not him. Will began yelling.

"What the hell do you want from her? Why do you chose to hurt her? It's your fault your dead! You hear me? Your fault!" Andrew looked a little shocked from the sudden outburst.

He disappeared. Will was holding Jenny in his arms and he began walking back to the shack. The man behind the desk stood up as they walked through the door, his name tag now showing his name. Joe.

"What happened?" Joe asked, concerned for Jenny.

"It's a long story that we don't have time for." said Kim.

Joe went in the back and brought back a first aid kit. He opened the lid and pulled out bandages. He wrapped her leg and stood her up. He helped her get dry and then they left. They took Jenny to the hospital where they gave her a cast and crutches. They confirmed her leg was broken and that she was restricted from swimming until it fully healed. That kind of made Jenny upset, but she could still hang out with her friends. After that, Kim and Jonas left and Jenny and Will were alone. They went back to Jenny's house to explain to her mom why her leg was broken.

After convincing her mother they weren't lying, they went up to Jenny's room. Will helped Jenny get comfortable and they laded on her bed and watched a movie. Eventually, they fell asleep. In the middle of the night, Will woke up to Jenny tossing and turning whimpering in pain so soft he almost couldn't hear it. He shook her and called her name until she awoke with a jolt of her leg that sent a volt of pain through her body.

"What's wrong?" Will asked her.

"Nightmares. I'm sorry. I have caused a lot of problems for a lot of people." Jenny was embarrassed. She felt like she was a trouble maker. She just wanted it to end.

"Jenny, you haven't caused anything. None of this was your fault. You didn't plan this."

"But if I hadn't left the house, Andrew wouldn't have came after me and no one would have got killed and I wouldn't be haunted for eternity." Jenny was frustrated.

Ever since her dad had died, nothing went her way anymore. All her plans were changed or canceled completely and when she thought they were fine, something took a wrong turn. Was she cursed? Did her dad's death release a curse on her and her family.

"Dad died, everything died." Jenny said, not realizing she said it aloud.

"What do you mean?" Will asked.

"When my dad died, it seemed like everything else did. The rest of my family began to die and so did all my plans. My cousin died when she was ten. Ten, Will. What has happened to my life?" Jenny had hot tears rolling down her cheeks.

Will knew her well. When he couldn't even hear her breathing, he knew she was crying. He wiped her eyes with a tissue. She leaned over on him and tried to calm down, but the fact that she had caused so much horror for some many people haunted her as much as Andrew did. It was then that it dawned on her what she and her mom did to Andrew.
