Chapter 11: It should’ve been me

“What are you doing?!” Just as the knife was about to stab into me, a bright female voice appeared from the distant light. The killer uncle was caught off guard and ran off without a word.

This was literally what they would show in historical dramas -when they would scream and say “Cease the execution!” I have been rescued.

I vaguely saw a uniformed policewoman running towards me.

“How are you feeling? Are you still conscious?” The policewoman roughly examined my wounds as she rushed, “Another policeman will arrive shortly to help you. Stay where you are and don’t run off.”

“My head hurts. Can you help me….” I weakly asked.

Before I could finish my sentence, the policewoman had already gone off into the same direction as the killer.

“Don’t go….” Originally, I wanted to remind her that he had a weapon. It was too dangerous. I wanted to stop her.

But she ran off too quickly, I tried reaching for her but I only managed to slightly brush against her trousers. I couldn’t grab onto her, and I helplessly watched as she disappear from my sight.

“Ahhh! My head hurts…” I gently used my hand to feel the area that I had crashed into. It wasn’t blood, but the moisture from the wall.

The man was a serial killer. Currently, the female policewoman was alone. She was in a very dangerous position.

I told myself I must hurry to find help...but I could barely stand up. It took a lot of strength for me to get up.

“Are you ok?” A policeman ran towards me. Just as I was about to collapse again, he held onto me. I assumed this was the police officer the policewoman was talking about.

“Just now...the policewoman ran off after the criminal. But he has a knife and he had killed before! Go help her! She is in danger!” I simplified everything I knew because of the severity of the situation.

“There are so many different paths in this alley. Do you know which direction they went?”

“Umm..” Honestly, I don’t remember. I just saw her disappear in front of me. However, I couldn’t provide any explicit details. I had no idea which path they took.

But suddenly, there was a blurry shadow standing near me. Could it be one of the two ghosts? Was he here to lead us to the killer?

“I know where to go…” I replied and held onto the wall for support. The policeman also gave me a lending hand as I advanced forward with difficulty.

“Is your body ok? Why don’t I send you to the hospital first??” Since my condition was quite bad, the policeman asked out of concern.

“No, I’m fine. We have to find the policewoman!” Then, we heard a *bang*; the sound of a firing gun.

The policeman’s hand shook as he released me and bolted straight towards the scene of the crime. My heart was pounding; I also quickened my footsteps.

By the time we had arrived, there weren’t two people waiting for us. It was only her.

The scenario I so desperately wanted to avoid had occurred.
