Experiment Four: Murder

I sighed a deep, shaky breath as I pulled my brother along in a hurry. We arrived at my parent's room and made a dash to the closet. I could hear my brother's scared whimpers as I felt his hand shake in mine furiously. I swung the door open and crouched down, opening the secret compartment. I pushed my little brother in there as he got comfy and looked up to me.

" Lulu?" He spoke in a hoarse voice from running a while. I gave him a small smile to try and reassure him a little.

" Stay in here and don't come out unless I come for you, understand me?" I told him, voice stern. He nodded at my request and wrapped his arm's around his knees. I slid the flashlight and a knife down into the compartment, his pale green eyes widened at the knife.

" Lulu I-"

" Be prepared to fight if anyone comes in here and try's to get you. Now stay, please." I cut him off and got to my feet. He nodded slightly and looked down at the items I set down. I shut the door just in time to hear the laughter a couple hallways away. I shivered a little and pulled a box from under my parent's bed. Inside a silver revolver lay loaded in case of emergency's. It's now or never.

Don't let fear control you.
