Chapter 5; Written Story
"Should I still continue reading?" I asked myself then yawned while looking at the nearby building with most of their lights turned off, "I think so--" I thought then shrugged--
"Oh ok-- where am I?" I asked myself while swiping randomly from a sentence to another just to find the part where I left off-- "Oh here it is--" I thought then started reading the next couple of phrases--
'I took a deep breath while listening to the windows getting smashed one by one. I took a glimpse at my sister then saw her shaking her head while whispering--
"No-- don't do it brother-- you'll die..."
I can't stop the shaking of my legs due to my loss of blood but I replied to her bravely by whispering- "I have to-- I need to--" then I smiled
smash! another window broke then--
"Ha-ha-ha," the killer laughed demonically
The rod started to slip off my hand due to sweat but I kept holding on it as fastened as possible. Out of a sudden, I found my self in much more enormous trouble after I started at the man's shadow with a gun at hand-- A wave of freezing wind rushed through the halls making our hairs stand on end.
Bang! The gun went after shooting a shelf
"Come out Jerome--hahaha--" The killer said, cold-blooded.
I suddenly felt like an ice sculpture after hearing that phrase from his own mouth--
"All these t-time?! After more than a dozen of persons got k-killed by him-- His main target is m-me?!" I whispered then suddenly felt pale.
I suddenly can't help the shaking of my knees due to the fear that circles my soul. I took a deep breath then accidentally started at the white tiles below but now became mostly red because of the blood that keeps on spilling from my wound-- My vision started to blur hard, so hard I almost can't see the room's walls.
Random phrases crossed my mind; "What if I got shot?", "I'm still not ready to die!", "Can I do this?"... I feel so confused about milliseconds.
Suddenly, I got awakened from thoughts by the Killer's fingertips grabbing the door's brace!
I unexpectedly saw his face with a creepy clown mask, I freaked out-- I can't move for seconds until I saw my sister shivering under the bed due to her phobia of clowns--
"I need to be brave-- for her..." I thought while looking at Him passing our story by--
I took a deep breath then whispered "There is no turning back now..."-- I leaped out my hiding place bravely-- taking a step carefully while hiding unto the rod as tight as possible--
Out of a sudden-- the Killer felt that my footsteps inside our room--
"What the hell-- He's going this way!!" I thought then hid again behind the door--
"Oh there you are-- Hahaha--" he said then ran towards our room--
I started to breathe deeply as I watch him enter the room then slowly head himself towards the bed, where my sister is.
"I gotta act fast," I thought then jumped from behind the door then thought while my hands are holding tightly on the rod-- "Here goes nothing--"
The killer suddenly turned his back and looked at me-- My hair stood on end after I started at his clown mask-- He looks like Pennywise but a low creepier-- I took a deep breath then-- everything just went blank...
The second I regained myself I realized that the man had fainted and He's presently lying on the carpet-- I smiled then looked at my sister under the bed, I thought that she'll be happy but I didn't expect her emotion to be like that--
She's like looking at me with the most worried emotion I had ever stared at--
"Why?! Sister why?" I whispered but she didn't move even an inch from her position--
My hair suddenly stood on end-- "I know that here's something going on but what is it?" I thought then--
"WHY?! WHAT"S GOING ON?!" I shouted-- My sister suddenly regained control of her body then said while pointing to me--
"You got stabbed!!" She said then ran outside, scared.
I looked at my chest then saw my abdomen stabbed with blood rushing out--
---------------------
I got shocked then opened my eyes while breathing heavily--
"What am I doing here?!" I asked after I realized that I'm lying on the bed unstabbed--
"WHERE'S THE KILLER?!" I asked my sister after noticing that He's not lying on the carpet--
"Shhh! The killer skipped out room-- and what are you talking about?" My sister asked--
"I got stabbed by the killer here!" I whispered to her while pointing to my abdomen--
"I don't know what you're talking about-- you didn't get stabbed-- don't say those things--" my sister said, worried.
"And--" I said while looking at those persons beside the door acting as the lookout-- I can't determine the person cause my visions kinda blurry due to a long period of time with them being closed.
"Who are those two?--" I asked while pointing to them
"Oh-- You don't know them?" My sister asked
"Nah-- I just can see them clearly," I said then they both walk towards me so that I could see their faces
Slowly-- Their faces got clearer then--
"What are you both doing here?!" I cried then sat on the bed-- "Ouch!" I mumbled after I felt the aching of my foot, "I-It's safer at the lifeguard's t-tower" I whispered.
"Yeah we know that--" Carl replied, "-- and we kind of reached the guard's house then--" He added
"Oh yeah-- I got some explaining to do--" My sister said, "I got worried when you fainted so I kinda-- Called them to come here-- sorry--" She added--
"No-- It's ok" I replied, "By the way-- how can I walk with this wound?" I asked
"Here's a stick we found-- It will do for the moment," Carl said
Smash! another couple of windows got smashed--
"We better find the vehicle or else we're dead" I whispered to them-- "By the way-- had you found the vehicle of the killer?" I asked.
"Yeah, in fact-- It's beside the lifeguard's house," Carl said
"We better go while the Killer Isn't here--" I said then stood up carefully.
"Umm-- guys, look at this-- there's someone outside..." Kevin whispered nervously--
"What do you mean?-- A survivor?" I asked while trying to stand with the stick at hand--
"Guys-- lower down your volumes-- there's a telephone here, maybe I could reach the nearest police station," Carl said while dialing the emergency number--
"N-no it's not a survivor-- It's the k-killer itself--" Kevin added then sat on the corner of the room, shaking.
--"Oh no," Carl said then turned the phone down--
"Why? What happened?" I asked
"The phone lines seem to be cut--" Carl replied
"Why are things opposing us?!" I whispered in panic.
"Guys-- the shadow outside is getting nearer and nearer--" Carl said then started to look for a place to hide
"What do you mean?!" I cried-- "He's walking towards here?!" I added
"Y-yeah-- lower your volume and look for a place to hide-- QUICKLY!!" Carl said then started to hide in a closet--
Everyone started hiding in a place they could fit--
I have no control over myself cause curiosity went stronger than me-- I took a step closer to the peephole to see what they are mumbling about--
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING?!" Kevin whispered in a panic--
Out of a sudden, I froze to death the second I saw the same creepy masked man from my dream a moment ago.
I stared at him as he walked towards the door then suddenly--
Bang! the gun went as it started shooting bullets in all possible directions.
"Brother, quickly!" my sister whispered in deep terror.
I started to panic cause my body unexpectedly turned into stone-- I completely froze in the middle of death! A couple of deep breaths with trepidation is what I've done for a couple of seconds--
My hands started to get sweaty as fear started to take over me as well--
My eyes are glued to what the killer's doing--
Bagsh! the door said at the man tried to break the door down-- Rattle, rattle, rattle- as he twisted the doorknob roughly dying to enter the room.
Accidentally, he noticed my eyes sparkling from the peephole-- "Damn! I c-can't move--" I thought as my legs started to shake itself--
The second I saw the man about to shoot the peephole, my hands started to slip the stick I'm holding unto for support--
Slowly I fall into the earth with my eyes closed, scared of the outcome--
"Just in time--" Carl whispered then the same time the- bang! came out of the gun.
I closed my eyes due to the glitter like structures made from the smashed pieces of the peephole.
As I stare at the killer's eyes peeking through the shattered peephole my breathing started to get deeper every second--
"When he stops looking inside-- you-- urgently hide behind the bed beside your sister--" Carl whispered nervously.
"W-what about you?" I asked him--
He then stared at the wound at my feet and replied--
"This is supposed to be your best day"-- "You endured enough--" He added then held my hand tightly for a couple of seconds--
"I'll be okay-- I promise," he said then smiled--
"I owe you-- a ton--" I said, "In the first place-- I'm sorry for dragging you here--" I added
Suddenly a-- Bang!
