On The Run

(Chapter 3) Pain

       As Rose dashed out of the room with Lavender following behind, Rose pulled on their parents locked door. Lavender could tell that Rose was in a panic. Lavender, still holding on to the knife that was currently in her sweaty hands started to shake. She really didn't like where this was going. Rose then took Lavenders hair clip without warning and started to attempt to pick the lock. It opened.

        The door swung open slamming into the wall. Rose ran inside to see a figure standing over two bodies. In that moment time stopped. The clock in the bedroom didn't seem to click, there was no movements, but it was silent. Out of pure emotion, Rose launched herself and tackled the figure. "ROSE WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Lavender yelled hoping nothing bad would happen to her best friend. Then Rose stopped moving. Lavender shakily stepped back as the figure slowly turned their head. Rose was now on the ground not moving. Then the scent of fresh blood filled Lavenders nostrils. 

           Lavender tried to make her way to the door without collapsing out of panic. Then she felt a wet, sticky hand grab her wrist and lock her. The one thing the figure didn't notice, Lavender was still holding that knife. She didn't drop it, she didn't accidentally stab herself, but she just held onto it tighter like it was the last string of her life. Lavender gripped the knife until her hands went white and swung her arm back. The figure, collapsing onto the cold carpeted ground yelped in pain. Lavender had no other feeling in her body but pain, sorrow and numbness. As Lavender tried to make a run for it again, she felt a sting on her head. Her hair was being pulled as hard as it could be. In that moment without thinking, Lavender took the knife and cut off her hair. Lavender got hurt in the process but she didn't care. Her only priority was to get out alive.

       Lavender then got pass the wooden door that seemed to keep her there for what felt like hours. Running as fast as she could, she got into the room they had been staying in and locked the door. "Lavender? Where's Rose? And why are you locking the door?" Asked Oliver. "No... Time..... Run...." Lavender tried to respond as she gasped for breath. "What do you mean?" The white haired boy named Axel asked. "SHE'S DEAD." Lavender yelled while sobbing. Loud knocks and pounds came from the door. Lavender started to shake violently but tried her best to stay strong. She then tried to grab Roses wardrobe and put it against the door but failed. Axel had to come help her. As Roses killer banged on the door Lavender said "We don't have much time. Everybody change. We can jump out the window.". "How the hell are we gonna do that?!? We're literally on the second floor!" Liam snapped. "Liam. You do that all the time." Evan spat back at Liam. "..."

      As Alice was changing the wardrobe started to fall. Alice had spent 8 minutes in the bathroom. "ALICE HURRY UP WE DONT HAVE ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD" Liam snapped. Alice finally came out but the wardrobe started to collapse slowly. "Everybody! we gotta go now or else we're gonna die!" Evan said in a panic. "Evan's right. We have to go now." Lavender said in a stern voice. Lavender then made her way to the window and jumped out and landed on the roof, then jumped off the roof onto the grass. Everybody did the same but when Ava was about to jump, the wardrobe finally fell over. Ava then fell off the roof. "AVA ARE YOU OK?!" Lavender yelled as Ava yelped in pain. Lavender ran over to check on her and leg was twisted in an unnatural way. "Leave me behind. Ill just slow all of you down..." Ava said trying not to scream in pain. "NO WE'RE TAKING YOU!" Lavender yelled. She absolutely hated seeing Rose die and she didn't want another person to as well. 

         As they all made a run for it with Ava on Lavenders back going at a very crazily fast speed considering someone on Lavenders back, the figure was gone. They finally stopped at a fork in the road. "What do we do now?....." Alice asked, very out of breath. "We go....."
