“Oh!” Harv comes over to me and looks me over,
“We will get the doc in, don’t listen to Rick it's not anger its worry.” Harv says with a soft look in his eye,
“Always the peacemaker, aren't you Harv.” He shoots me a smile.
“Clean up on their way, our cops know the story and what to do, let's get the fuck out of here!” Oliver syas as he jogs over to us,
“Let's go to Ms. Ellies.” I suggest and three sets of confused eyes look at me. “One, the girls might need to see the Doc too, shock and all that! Two, let Rick think I really am digging the bullet out myself.”
Chapter Twenty-Four
We all gather around in Ms. Ellies kitchen while she fusses and makes us all a nice cup of steaming coffee. The doc has been and gone, my leg is now bullet free and stitched up and the girls were declared fine. I stretch my leg out and the pain is now a dull ache, I can walk on it but it will hurt and I'm not to put too much pressure on it for a few days.
“You children are knocking years off my life!” Ms. Ellie mumbles as she pulls some cookies out of the oven. Ty grins at me and I stifle a chuckle. My phone buzzes on the table again and I look at the screen.
“Rick again?” Ty asks and I nod,
“I thought he might stop for a while once we sent Oliver and Harv back.” I state, as soon as the buzzing stops it starts right back up again, this time though it says unknown number so I answer it.
“Seriously! I'm ignoring you for a reason Rick!”
“Hello Little Knightingale,” I feel my face drain of all color as the voice drawls his words, I recognize it instantly and I fight the panic trying to coarse through me.
“What do you want!” My voice has gone small and hoarse with the fear of hearing his voice again.
“That little box you carried from home to home, the one with the bunny, the locket and the lighter, I assume it's in the Knighingale estate right now?” I don’t answer my mind flooding with memories,
“You see, I hid a present in that box for you, and I kept the detonator” I choke on air as I remember Michaels words, ‘he had planted bombs in her schoolbag, the car that took her too school, even managed to get a bomb is a little trinket box she kept by her bed!’ How Could I have not thought about that again, I should have thrown the fucking box as soon as I got home that day! I get up and I hobble to the door, Ty following me, he is saying something but I can't make out his words.
“Never mind, I have put more presents around your new home, can you get to them in time, can you save the Knights, because you couldn’t save your family!” His evil twisted laugh is the last thing I hear before he hangs up the phone, Adrenaline rushes through me and the pain in my leg disappears, I run to the car and get it, Calling Rick on my phone but there's no answer. I hit the gas and speed down the road, tires screeching as I do, I see Tyler in my mirror but I ignore his waving and try and call Oliver, He answers just as I pull up to the house,
“Hello.”
“Get out of the house! Get Rick and Harv and get out!” I scream down the phone as I get out of the car and run towards the front door.
“Railey, I...” His words are cut off as loud bangs assault my ears; the bombs go off and I'm thrown back by the blast. My head is spinning and my ears a filled with a tingy whining sound and I try to focus, the house is engulfed in flames, I crawl forward, trying to get to my feet. I use some rubble that the blast knocked off the house to help me up. I stare at the house and try to look for any part of it untouched by the blast of the flames but I can't, I run forward, trying not to trip but I'm grabbed around the waist and pulled back. I scream, kick and struggle to be released.
“Railey, you will die if you go in there!” Tylers voice enters my ears and I struggle to make out the words through the incessant noise the blast caused.
“They are in there; we need to help them!” I cry,
“We can't, this is one of those rare times that there is nothing we can do!” I lose all my fight and I drop to the floor, sobs hitting me as I watch my new home, my family burn to nothing.
“They’re gone Railey, it's just us now.” Tyler picks me up and walks me to the car, I see the tear fall from his eye and I wipe it away. We sit in silence as he starts to drive away from the only place, I have felt any happiness in years.
Chapter Twenty-Five
We round the corner and I stare blankly out the window, I shut my mind and my emotions off until I see him, leaning against a bus stop and smirking. I don’t even tell Tyler to stop the car I just open the door and jump out, I get up from the floor and run, run so fast that his face drops before he runs too. I catch up to him in a dark alley and I pounce on him, I jump and punch him in the back of the head, He spins on me and punches me back, I dodge it and land one to his gut, we throw punches for a while until he manages to doge on of mine and grabs me by the throat! He pins me to the wall my feet not touching the ground and he squeezes and I can't breathe, Memories of the last time hit me but I push them away. I'm not that little girl anymore, I can beat this monster. I stop struggling and my eyes harden as I stare at the ugly prick in front of me, the scar that runs down his face, the sneer that haunted my dreams. Well, no fucking more, this prick is going to die tonight! I focus as much as I can and I kick him hard with both feet, he flies off of me and lands on his back, I waste no time, taking in much needed breaths I run to him, landing on him wrapping my hands around his throat.
“Fucking die!” I scream as I squeeze his neck as hard as I can. He starts to struggle but I maintain my position. I cry out as I feel sharp pain in my side, he fucking stabbed me, I don’t release him, not even when he twists the knife in me. “I'm taking you with me, you are fucking dying tonight!” I growl as I somehow find the strength to squeeze harder, I see the light fade from his dark eyes and I feel him twitch under me, his grip on the knife in my side disappears as his body finally goes limp. I roll off him and lay on the floor, I don’t have the energy to even take the knife out of my side and I just let the darkness take over. I will finally see my family again, my old one and my new one.
