A Hopeful Ending

The Man at the Door

My mom was rummaging through the closet near the door.
"You're supposed to be on a date with Logan."

"I know but I can't find my jacket.. oh here it is, have a nice night sweetie I'll be home soon."

She kissed me on the forehead and went outside.
I went to go watch my movies from the 1960s when I heard another knock on the door.

"Why are you here?"
I questioned the strange man who was at my door and had been watching me the past couple of days.
"I came to warn you," he whispered,
"Someone will come and they will try to hurt you, they may even be listening now."

I stuck my head outside and yelled, "HEY, WHOEVER WANTS TO HURT ME COME AND DO IT!"

"Stop it!" The man pushed me back inside.
"You must be careful!"

"If you don't leave now I'm calling the police."
With that he sighed and left. He must have escaped from a mental hospital or something.

I went back into the movie room to resume my movies when I heard another knock on the door.
"Now what" I grunted under my breath.

Logan was waiting outside when I opened the door.
"What are you doing, my mom just left to go on your date."

"Yes but I just needed to tame care of some business first."

Logan scanned me head to toe. Then boom, I was unconscious.

The next thing I knew I was tied to one of the dinning room chairs.

"You're finally awake."

Logan came into the room with a terrifying smirk on his face.
I instantly went into panic mode,
"Why are you doing this!?!?" I instantly started hyperventilating. I thought of screaming, someone might hear me and come help, but as if Logan read my mind, he took a wet towel and stuffed it in my mouth.
"Well, Lily... I'm sure that you know that your mother and I gave been getting very serious. We have started talking about marrige. The more I thought about marrying your mother, the more I realized I don't want to have a 17 year old daughter."

I started to struggle,
"Mmhhh!"
My resistance wasn't working, I was still trapped.

"I have always loved your mother," Logan continued, "since the monument I first laid eyes on her, 20 years ago. But there was one thing keeping us apart, your father. I decide to do what any rational person would do, wait for them to break up, but the never did. They go married and had a little baby brat. I wasn't ready to give up your mother, so I decided to do plan B... extermination!"

"Mmhh! Mmhh!" I struggled even harder.

"I killed your father! But when the police found fingerprints on the bullet, similar to my own. I had to flee town. I went to California, there I changed my name and soon had a child of my own. 2 years ago I thought enough time had passed so I decided to move back here. And your mother was still a fragile widow, ready do me to take her into my arms. But I don't think my daughter Maddie would appreciate an older sister, and I wouldn't either. And by the way, I remembered to wear gloves this time."

He took out a shinning silver knife, an then everything went black.
