Through The Dark

Chapter 15

    "Wait, he was having an axe?", I asked frowning.

"yea,why? is it unusual?"

"N-No, I mean- just continue."

".....So he just stood there , face shown with fury and disgust. Just then, Aito came to visit me and caught sight of the scene. He immediately called the cops. They entered the kitchen and asked where Chris was. He was hiding behind one of the cupboards. Stella; one of the girls we grew up with, pointed to Chris and he was arrested. But that wasn't the end.....

A few years later, we got to know that Chris had escaped the prison. He came straight for me. I was still in Hidekazu's house, waiting for my job. 

That day, I was in the kitchen making some porridge for me and Stella. The other children were either adopted or gone off to live on their own after attaining their adulthood.I heard a knock on the door.

Stella was the one to open the door, and when she did, it didn't take her another minute to recognize who it was. She called for me and when I peeked my head out from the kitchen, she pointed at Chris, with hands shivering. My eyes widened as I came over slowly and stood before Stella.

"C-Chris?", I stuttered.

"Long time no see brother", he said with a smirk.

.

.

"So.....you still haven't moved huh?", Christopher asked sitting in the couch.

I still stared at him in utter shock. He looked a little aged. Of course, it's been almost 5 years. His stubbled beard was growing in alternate directions due to improper shaving. His eyes looked far from sober and was bloodshot and sour.

"Why did you came here?", I asked finally.

"What do you expect? I came here to meet my dear brother ..", he said exaggerating the last word.

"H-How did you escape?"

He let out a laugh.

"That's just simple. I killed a couple of police men. And when I say a couple........... it means a lot. A LOT!!"

"Why are you doing this?"

His smile vanished as he looked me straight in the eye.

"Where's your friend?", he asked in a serious tone.

"What friend?"

".........Aito....."

"Why do you wanna know?", I asked enraged.

"I got some buisness with him"

"I'm not gonna tell you...."

"If you're not gonna speak out.......then maybe she will", he said looking over at Stella and taking out a pocket knife. I shook my head at her when he grabbed me by the neck and pointed the knife to my throat.

"If you do not tell me where that half breed dog is, you'll never see him again", he warned directing his eyes at me.

I tried getting off the grasp, but his hands were too strong and rough. Stella did'nt have a choice. She told him where Aito's house was. christopher let go of my grasp and ran out through the front doors. I quickly took my phone and called Aito. 

switched off..

I tried calling again..........and again was interrupted by the same annoying recording.

I texted him to get out of the house asap whereas I took my car keys and headed out with Stella.

Aito's house was just a few kilometers away. Sweat ran through my face and down my neck drenching my collar.
