"what the fuck happened to you?" She awoke to her brother pointing to her foot giving her a disapproving look. "Nothing I tripped on the stairs yesterday" she lied smoothly trying to cover up the pain in her voice the acidy lie danced on her tongue like she's said it a million times.
"That doesn't look like it came from the stairs" fuck when did he get this fucking smart."How the fuck would you know? Now help me up so I can get breakfast ready. " He lent out his hand as she steadily shifted her weight near him, he walked her to the nearest chair to steady her weight as she put pressure on her foot on the ground she winced and almost screamed.
"Alex, you're going to have to help me out here. I need you to grab me a towel some duck tape and a glass of wine."
"Why wine?" He looked at me confused."Don't worry about it just get it before I throat punch you" he rolled his eyes and walked to the cabinet and grabbed what I needed. He set them aside on the table as I took off my shoe slowly wincing by every movement when I finally got my shoe off I was in mid tears.
"Madeline, what the fuck happened to your foot, is it supposed to look like that? What's that yellow gunk? Is it supposed to be yellow? He cringed while looking at my foot. I grabbed the wine and poured it on my foot I let out a blood-curdling scream as it stung my foot. I then crawled to the couch as I whispered for Alex to grab me a pillow so I can rest up.
I woke up to loud banging on the doorstep. "Alex?" I nudged where he was but was met with air instead. "Alex?" I whispered. I was met with silence, I gently pulled my body up moving the curtains to the side to peak outside near the door I saw the night sky it looked so peaceful the stars were so bright it reminded me of the times before this madness began I went to inch closer to the window when I froze mid host. there standing by my door was an old woman with wrinkled stored up clothes and a shotgun with the word killer written in what looks to be blood my breathing hitched as I tried to lower myself slowly on my couch without being seen. I do something stupid mid bend, I peak a quick look at the door through the window and see that she's no longer there I calm down. then I turn to go close the blinds when I see her she's staring at me grinning a toothless bloody smile. she's so close to the glass you can see the fog from her breath near my living room window she's getting closer, and closer I want to scream but I can't its like its trapped in my throat. my thoughts then wander to where's Alex. at this point I don't care if I hurt myself as I pull myself on the ground to Army crawl in search of my brother. my foot aches with every crawl. the oldwoman starts banging her finger on the glass of my window and screaming. to scared for my safety I move faster then I ever have on crawling while scanning the room for Alex
