Amara Moon

Chapter 8 (Amara)

After I hear the door close I open my eyes and sit up on the bed, remembering something. I jump up off the bed, and throw my shoes on while trying to run down the hallway, "Where's Jack?" I ask out of breath from running down the stairs. Ben and Toby jump up.

"We weren't doing anything!" Ben says quickly and I roll my eyes.

"I don't care what you were doing, where's Jack." I ask again in an annoyed tone.

"He's in the basement...I think." Toby says, I sigh and walk over to the basement door and swing it open.

"JACK GET YOUR ASS UP HERE!" I yell down the steps. I hear Jack whine about not wanting to leave his candy alone as he walks up the steps. I laugh a little and he just pouts like a child, "I need you to watch the babies for a little bit I need to go out." I say.

"But you just had 2 babies and you lost a lot of blood, you should wait a little bit." He says putting his arms around my waist.

"I'll be okay, I won't be gone long, I just have to go get something for Dad." I say and kiss his cheek. He smiles and lets me go.

"Be safe." He says.

"I will...and I swear if you try to give the kids candy you are a dead man!" I say as I turn to go out the front door. I walk outside and into the woods, I walk for about 20 minutes when I get to the place Carter was telling me about when she first brought Constance here. I walk over to the hollow log and look in it, and there I see him, little baby Hyde. I pick him up out of the log, he fusses and stares up at me with wide green eyes. I smile and rewrap his blanket around him, "Dad and Jeff are going to love you." I say and start to walk back to the house. When I get back I hear Sally run down the stairs.

"MOMMY, Daddy let me hold the babies and...." she stops dead in her tracks when she sees Hyde in my arms, "DID YOU HAVE ANOTHER ONE?" She yells running over to look at the baby in my arms.

"Shhh, no it's not mine, It's a surprise for Grandpa Slendy, and Jeff." I say smiling at her, she giggles and follows me to their room. I knock on the door, "Hey Dad, Sally and I have a surprise for you and Jeff." As soon as the door opens I yell, "SURPRISE, MEET YOUR NEW SON!" He looks(?) at me for a second.

"Our what?" he says.

"I got you and Jeff a baby since you two can't have one, and Constance is kinda dead so she won't care." I say holding Hyde out to him. He takes the baby from me and looks(?) down at him. Hyde moves around in his arms and smiles up at him, "Awe, he likes you already!" I say when Carter comes down the hallway almost running into me, "Carter, where are you going?" She turns and looks at me.

"I need to kill someone, I'm pissed off!" she says then notices the baby, "Cute baby......you and Sally want to come with me, you haven't been killing in a while." She asks. I look down at Sally and she shakes her head yes.

"Yeah sure Jack has the babies right now anyway." I say. Carter grabs my wrist and starts dragging Sally and I down the hallway, "BYE DAD I HOPE YOU LIKE THE BABY!" I yell as she drags us down the steps and out the door. We've been walking for about half an hour before we hear voices coming through the trees. Carter held up a hand, stopping us in our tracks.

"Just up ahead." She whispers as we sneak closer. We stop again and she gestures for me to wait. Carter then crouches and starts crawling across the forest floor over to the voices. Not even a minute later Sally screams, from a little ways behind me, Carter is yelling, and I have arms wrapped around my shoulders and I'm on the ground. I stay still trying to see Sally and Carter. I turn my head to see a policeman pinning Sally to the ground.

"SALLY!" I scream before I decide what to do. I snap back my head, busting the man in the nose.

"AH, SON OF A BITCH!" The man lets me go so I stand quickly and face the man. He has a bloody nose and is pointing his taser gun at me, "GET ON THE GROUND!" Behind me I hear a grunt and then screaming. I turn around to see Carter run past me, straight at the cop. He shoots and the next thing I know Carter is on the ground shaking. Somebody grabs me from behind and then I feel cold metal on my wrists.
