chapter 8

Sunday 9:40 pm

It's 10 minutes past from when the killer was supposed to be here. I'm starting to get worried that she is not coming. But she could be here. All around the park is full of trees. So they could be hiding. "Hey" said Jordan, "are you sure they are coming". "Yea I am", I said. That's when we feel a random gust of wind come from in between us. We look down and see a throwing knife stuck in the ground in between us. "Dang" said a voice coming from the shadows, "I was hoping that would have hit you". They are a girl and we're not using a voice changer. That's when Jordan pulled out his gun and aimed it at the person coming out of the shadows. It was definitely the killer. She was wearing a black hoodie, shoes, shirt, and pants so that she could blend in with the darkness and a black mask with red glow paint in the eyes. Probably just for intimidation, and it worked. "Who are you?" I asked. I had my hand in the pocket that I had my gun in but wasn't going to pull it out yet. "I'll show you if you get your little friend over there to put his gun away". I signaled Jordan to put his gun away, and so he did. "Alright", she said, "I didn't want to get on the wrong foot when we just met". On the wrong foot? Does she think we're going to be friends or something? Jordan looked like he was thinking the same thing that I was. "So are you going to show us who you are?" I asked. "You know" she started to say, "I sorta changed my mind". Then she ran at me with almost inhuman speed and tackled me to the ground. But I was lucky enough to kick her off of me. That's when I see Jordan fighting her while I try to regain my consciousness. That's when I see Jordan get hit in the face and thrown to the ground. The killer then pulls out a knife and tries to stab Jordan. He dodged the first stab but the second one got his hand. I could hear a scream of pain come from him. I got up from the ground and tackled the killer before she could pull her knife out and stab Jordan a second time. "GET OFF OF ME!" She yelled as I pinned her down. But that's when I saw that my gun was slipping out of my pocket. I tried to hide it back in my pocket. But it was hard to do that and hold her down. She then hits me in the ribs and throws me off of her, "owwwww" I said as I was holding my rib area. I stood up as quickly as I could and when I looked down I saw my gun between me and her. I looked up at her and I noticed that she saw the gun too. We both ran for the gun but I wasn't going to go for the gun, I was going for her. Before she could pick up the gun I kicked it out of the way and hit her in the face making her fall to the ground and I ended up breaking her mask. When she stood up I could not believe who it was. "Hello Sarah", Cassidy said to me. I couldn't believe it. It was Cassidy. My best friend and childhood friend was a serial killer. "My oh my" she said, "you weren't expecting this were you". "Cassidy, how could you", I said pure in shock. "Why would you do this?" "Why do you think I did this?" she said, with blood dripping from her mouth. "You never cared about me". "What do you mean?" I asked. "What I mean is that I'm nothing to you". "You always acted like I was your friend". "But really you don't care". "If I were dying in front of you, you would just walk away". "No I wouldn't". I said to her. "You're right", she said, "you wouldn't do that, instead you would probably just stand there and laugh instead!". Then she charged at me with her knife. Before she could stab me I rolled out of the way and tackled her to the ground which knocked the knife out of her hands and I started to rapidly hit her over and over again. I could hear her screams of pain and could feel her trying to kick me off, but she couldn't. But when I started to get tired she was then able to kick me off. I look at my hands and see that they're covered in blood, I look up at her face which is covered in her blood. It looks like I broke her nose too. God how many times did I hit her. That's when I looked back up at her she looked enraged. She pulls out a small throwing knife from her hoodie pocket and charges at me. I barely dodged her when she tried to stab me again. But I felt a lot of pain on my right arm and I looked down and saw a decent sized gash on my arm then I felt another unholy amount of pain come from my back. I grabbed hold of my arm to try to stop the bleeding and I tried to feel what caused the pain in the back. Then I figured out what caused it. I felt the handle of the throwing knife she used was in my back. That's when I looked over to Cassidy and saw her smirking. What was she smirking about? But when I looked at her hand I saw that she has my gun. "Man", she said walking over to me, "you put up a good fight but sadly we have to end this little game". I closed my eyes ready for the bullet to hit me. But nothing happens. When I open my eyes I see Cassidy laying on the ground in a puddle of blood. What happened? She's definitely dead but who did that? But that's when I look at Jordan. He is sitting up and holding his gun with a bandage on his hand where he got stabbed. "Finally", he said, dropping his gun and collapsing on the ground. I got up and walked over to him ignoring the pain coursing through my body. I layed right next to him and closed my eyes. "We did it", I said. "Yes we did", he said. That's when I hear him call an ambulance and put his phone away. "Here" he said. I opened my eyes and saw that he was holding a medical bandage like the one he has on his hand. I grabbed it and put it on my arm where the gash was. Then layed back down and closed my eyes and rested.
