Chapter 9 Jacklyn

Me and dad found a house a farm house infact. We decided to make it safe for the night. We walked all day. Once the pace was safe we decided to cook food. Good thing the place had a fire place. Dad was about to make the fire then he looked at me.

" Here you do it this time." Said dad handing me the lighter. And a paper towel.

" Me?." I said.

" Yes you." Said dad. I took the paper towel and lighter. I put the paper towel under the log that dad put in the fire place. I looked back at him.

" Is this right." I said.

" Yep that's just fine. Now light the paper towel on fire." Said dad. I turned on the lighter and put the flame towards the paper towel. And lit it on fire. It started to smoke. I closed the lighter and blew on it without thinking. And flames started growing on the paper towel. I pulled my head away from the flame. And the flames started going over to the log. And stayed there.

" Good job. Now all you have to do if you want the flame to keep going is put more wood on it. Then you use this meddle poker stick to keep the flames on the log." Said dad holding the meddle poker stick in his hand.

" If you want the flame lower use less wood. Continued dad. And how you put it out is killing the oxygen by closing the air vent by pulling this lever. If your out side pore lots of water on it until the red is off the log." Said dad.

" Wow that sounds like a lot." I said giving dad the lighter back.

" Keep it. For now on you start the fires. And put them out." Said dad. He gave me the poking stick. I grabbed it and held on to it.

" Madison if I git bit or scratched I want you to end me." Said dad.

" What dad where did that come from?." I said.

" Madison just trust me on this. You where born into a world that I think is bad for kids. And that's putting it lightly. And you know what we say about new places." Said dad.

" New places never stay safe for long." I said.

" Yes that's right." Said dad. After dinner dad let me sleep on the couch. Because all the beds that where in the house where gross. And dad slept on the floor. I was awoken by someone trying to brake down the door. My dad jumped up from the floor. As soon as the door was broken down. Dad charged swinging his bat down. Knocking out the person at the door there was another person behind the person that got knocked out. They had there hands up. My dad froze for a couple seconds. Then knocked out the other person. He dragged them in side and tied them up next to the fire. On the wall. Dad blocked the door way with a blood stained mattress and a few book shelves.

" Who are they dad." I said gitting up and going next to him.

" There the people that did this to me." Said dad holding up his bat arm. I gasped looking at them. The girl woke up. I remember her name now it was Jacklyn.

" What happened. God my head hurts. Whate why am I tied up." Said Jacklyn.

" It's about to git much worse. I'm going to make your death a living hell." Said my dad.

" Who are you." Said Jacklyn. Dad stepped into the light of the fire. Jacklyn gasped.

" Lace long time no see. I like the bat arm." Said Jacklyn. dad wanted to pound her face in. But he held it back. I could tell.

" Sister what happened. Oh no lance. You think he's still.-" Before the Jackson could finish lance interrupted.

" YES IM STILL GOD DAMN PISSED OFF THAT YOU CUT OFF MY ARM AND RAN FROM ME. leaving me and Diana with your mess. She was scared. She had to cut my arm off. And in the end she died. By a tree. She tied her self to a tree so she wouldn't hurt anyone. I..I.." said dad. At the last sentence he was holding back the tears.

" I had to put her down." Said dad finally.

" She would have died anyways. She was bit.you can't be putting her death on me." Said Jacklyn. Every word Jacklyn was saying. Was true but there's a thing called a filter. You know when to stop talking. I don't think Jacklyn has one of those.and it was pissing off dad. But he was using everything to hold it back.

" Jacklyn I can't take this crap with you anymore. You can kill her. And let me go." Said jackson.

" Are you throwing me under the bus." Said Jacklyn.

" Yes I am. I'm done." Said jackson.

" Your just as guilty. You two are not going anywhere." Said dad.

" I refuse. To be tied up." They both said. Dad picked both of them and held them close to the fire.

" No please no. What do you want from us." Said jackson. Dad pulled them away from the fire.and made them sit by the brick wall next to the fire. He tied a rope to a exposed wood that was next to the fireplace it looked like it was punched through with a fist. and he tied a big knot around the wood.

" Go back to bed. Madison." Said dad.

" Ok." I said pulling the covers over me. The next day it was snowing. And we where on the road again. Good thing we got a few jackets. As for Jacklyn and jackson. Dad let them go. But something bad happened when he let Jacklyn go. She came after me. I dodged her attack. By moving sideways.I grabbed her knife for protection. When she realized that I had it. She tried to grab it from me. I locked my arms in front of me. When she tried to grab the knife. She came at me going straight to her knife in the heart. Making her bleed out in side. I let go of the knife. Letting her drop to the ground. My hands where covered in blood. Jackson ran for it soon after that. Jacklyn was dead. Dad was shocked at what I just did.

" I Wich it didn't have to come to you killing people.If they attack you." Said dad. He got up. From untying and went to the bathroom. He grabbed a towel from the bathroom. And wiped the blood off my hands. Then drop the towel on the floor next to Jacklyn.

" Let's keep moving." Said dad. Grabbing his stuff and giving my bag to me. I grabbed it and put it on my back. And fallowed him out the door.
