S.P.O.V
I started hyperventalaiting. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. It's like a curse. A evil curse. It was first bestowed upon my mother, and when it finally finshed her off, it looked for the next person in line, the next victim: me. In other words: Ryan Black is worse then death itself.
"Oh my god. Oh my god." I squeaked. I couldn't breath. Everything was beggining to look fuzzy.
"Sonny; come this way." Chad begged me. I looked at him and saw tears in his eyes.
"We'll take the back stairs." I nodded as he took my hand and we both made our way down the hall to the next set of stairs. My eyes were blurring with tears, and I could hear the footsteps of my demented step-father slowly climbing the stairs.
We booked it down the stairs, and came into the entertainment room.
"We need to get out of the house." I said. Chad nodded; we took the back door out to the garden shed. Just as we got inside, we heard a loud 'BOOM' come from the kitchen.
"My kitchen! My stove! My gorgeous stove!" Chad whined, and began to cry more. Over his stove. The shed was dark, but the flames from the house allowed enough light for me and Chad to see eachother.
I was furious. I rounded on the still whimpering Chad.
" I told you he would come back! I told you! But no! Don't listen to Sonny! She's delusional! A compleate psyco who dosen't know what she's talking about!" I said, poking his chest with each word.
"Sonny-"
"No! I told you this would happen! I though - of all people - you would be the one to believe me!" I yelled in his startled face. Tears were pouring like Niagra Falls down both our faces.
"Sonny, I'm sorry, okay, but look. We are in trouble, with not alot of options to escape. So, please, just calm down a little!" He said just as another loud explosion erupted. We heard the back door burst open, and saw the shadow of the devil dancing on the flames.
"I WILL FIND YOU SONNY! SOONER OR LATER!" Bellowed a very angry voice. I started to panic. I couldn't breath, or think. I turned to Chad.
"Can't we just go through the window, and sneak through the back gates or something?" I asked him, with nothing but hope and faith on my side now. He shook his head, causing my lungs to tighten, and not being able to expand.
I started crying. It was silent outside. We heard no more explosions blowing Chad's dream house apart. The only thing you could hear, was our ragged breathing, and the heavy footsteps stompong around outside. I started whimpering.
"Shh, Sonny. You need to keep it down." He told me softly. I did try.
"Wait, I have an idea." He whispered. I instanly looked up, hoping that it was a good idea. Normally, when Chad has an idea; run. But under these circcumstances, I trusted him.
"What is it?" I asked, impatiently.
"Do you have your cell?" I nodded.
"Give it to me." He said. I siged. 'I hope he know's what he's doing.'
I handed him my cell, and hestarted dialing a number. Officer Carl's number.
C.P.O.V( A/N: I am trying to post this story as fast as I can, so the convo between Chad and Carl might be different since I didn't go back and check.)
As I dialed, I heard hungry footsteps closing in on it's prey: us.
I heard ringing, and then god himself.
" Officer Carl speaking."
"Carl?" I asked, making sure it was him.
"Chad is that you? What's wrong?" Sonny started whimpering. I couldn't blame her, I was just as scared as she was.
"Sonny, shh." I said.
"Chad. What's wrong." It wasn't a question any more. It was a demand.
" He's here. We are trapped, and he's right outside! We need help!" I said as fast as I could. Sonny started tugging on my shirt. I held up a finger, indicating to hold on a second.
" Chad, hold on. We'll be there as fast as we c-" He was cut off by the garden door blowing open. Sonny screamed bloody murder, and I understood why she was trying to get my attention. She was trying to warn me that he was coming.
"Chad!" I heard Carl shout, but it was drowned by Sonny's screams as Black pushed me aside and threw me down. The cell phone landed at least four feet away from me. I tried getting up, but he picked up and threw the lawn mower on my back, and all the extra pipes for my plumbing. And I meant the house's plumbing, not my plumbing.
"Chad!" I heard Sonny scream. I saw her trying to get to me, but Black turned and picked her up by the waist, and started dragging her back to the house. I heard her screaming all the way back to the house.
I tried my best to get up, but this damn lawn mower is so heavy. I kept trying to get up. But by time I was free, ran out the door and into the house...I couldn't see them any where. But Sonny's blood curdling screams told me they were still here.
S.P.O.V
I saw what my step-father was doing to Chad, and it just tore me apart. I screamed his name and tried to go help him, but the deamon picked me up and started dragging me towards the house.
"Let me go! Please! I'm begging you!" I pleaded. But I knew it was no use.
"Not a chance. I told you what would happen if you told anyone, or let anyone meddel in our buisness. I told the same thing to your mother, and she didn't listen. Now look where she ened up? Which is exactly where you'll be soon." He said, and flung me against the wall. I don't know whihc room we were in, but at the moment I could care less. I was falt on my back, and I turned over to try and pick my self up.
"Don't worry Sonny. You'll be with your dear mother soon." And that's when all hell broke loose.
He came marching up to me and kicked me right in the ribs while I was trying to stand up. I wanted so badly to cry, but I wasn't going to let him have the satisfaction he always got. That's what kept him living. The fear and pain in others eyes. But this time, I will win, and he will lose.
He tried to kick me again, but I quickly moved and his giant foot went straight through the wall.
"Damn it!" He cursed, and tried to get his foot out. This gave me just enough time to stand up and try to back up. I didn't dare turn my back on him. No, I learned that lesson a long time ago.
I was almost, almost, to the door when he broke free. He stumbled a bit, and turned to glare at me. I swear I saw fire in his eyes.
"You wanna play, Sonny? Then let's play!" He turned fully and charged at me. This time I was ready. I doged at just the right minute before he crashed into me. He ran straight into the wall, and fell to the ground.
I started to back up again, but I slipped on somthing, and fell to the ground. I sat up and saw a thick line of brownish liquid. I don't know what it was, but I was covered in it. I saw The line of liquid actully stretched longer then I expected. It made a circle right around the room.
I tried to stand up, but I slipped, and fell right into the middle of the circle. I looked up, and saw Ryan coming towards me with a wicked grin on his face.
"Right where I want you." I saw him light two matches, and I finally realized what was happening.
I screamed as loud as I could when he threw down both matches, and the whole circle around me caught fire. Just like my dream...
I couldn't breath; the heat was so intense. I stood up, and the flames were taller then me. I tried to find an exit, but there was none. I was compleatly helpless. I clutched my sides where I was kicked in my ribs. I had no idea how I was going to get out of this. I don't even know for sure if Officer Carl is coming, and I have no idea of what happened to Chad.
"Do you feel death yet Sonny? Do you!" I heard my murderer scream excitedly from somewhere outside the ring of fire.
"Shut up! Leave me alone!" I screamed, and shut my eyes as tight as I could. I could hear his sick, horrifying laugh. "Go away! It's over you have me trapped! I'm going to burn to death are you happy? It's over! Go away!" I yelled.
"What? This party is just getting started!" He yelled. I opened my eyes and they stung. The smoke was causing the room to turn black, except for me in the ring of fire.
Then, right before my eyes, Ryan Black jumped inside the circle of flames. Just like in my dream.
"You should know by now, Sonny. That if I want you dead, then I want to be the one to kill you. To be the one who sees the life gushed out of you. To be the one, to finish the job!" He yelled. I was absolutly petrified. I couldn't move. All the hope drained from my body.
He charged at me again, but I moved and ran the oppisit direction. I turned to face him and saw that he was facing me.
"You know." He gave a huge sigh." I am getting pretty damn tierd of this." He said, and pulled out a long kitchen knife from his pocket.
"It's finally time to end this." But before he could move, I heard a loud screeching noise. I saw white smoke rise on the other side of the room, behind my step-fathers back. I looked up and wonderd: What the hell now!
But soon, the fire started to die down behind blak. We were both focusing on it now. Now, we were standing in a semi circle of fire. Out of the smoke, I saw a figure moving. Then, thank god, Chad emerged from the smoke holding a axe. (A/N: I know. Pretty lame, but he came from the garden shed. I was going to arm him with a crowbar...But then I thought...'It dosn't have a blade')
I compleatly forgot about the pain in my ribs, or the fact that I almost nearly died.
"Get. Away. From. Her." Chad said, very firm and directly while pointing the axe at Black. I quickly moved behind Chad, and looked over his shoulder to watch the scene. Black was laughing his head off, while Chad was fuming.
" Sonny, you have always suprised me, but this is beyond anything I would ever expect from you! I mean, I can't believe somebody fell in love with a whimpy little brat like you! You were always the outsider, nobody liked you. In fact, you always scared them away" He said while laughing.
"That's not true! You were the one who made me an outcast! No one wanted to be my friend because of you! You jerk! You ruined my life!" I yelled, ready to run at him with my bare hands, but Chad held me back.
"You know, I really do love replaying all the good ol' memories. But I am getting rather board. Now step aside boy, unless you want to live your dreams way up in the big blue sky." He said, starting to move closer to us. Chad stood his guard, and didn't back down.
"You'll have to go through me first." He said. And thats what set them off. Chad pushed me back, while they fighted. I swear, this was turning into some sort of sappy action/romance flick. I hate those types of films. They disgust me. I moved back some more, and my ankle hit something cold and hard. I looked down, and saw a fire extinguisher. I bent down and picked it up.
From behind me, I could hear both of them fighting, and someone winning. I prayed it was Chad. But of course, God was always against me. I saw both men fly into the wall. Chad hit his head, while Ryan twisted his ankle. The axe went flying out of Chad's hand, and Black brought his hand to Chad's throught, hoisting him up against the wall.
"This is what happens when you get involved in other people's buisness!" He yelled. And through Chad against the wall closer to the fire. That's it.
C.P.O.V
The wind got knocked out of me when I hit the wall. I could barley move. Everything hurt. I could only imagin what it felt like for Sonny to go through for years. I closed my eyes for a moment, and tried to compose myself. But that was a mistake. The second I closed them I got kicked in the stomach and a bulky figure loomed above me.
"How you feeling Chaddy?" He asked me. I scowled and spat at him. But he only laughed. I tried swinging my arms at an atempt to trip him, but that made him laugh harder.
"Is that the best you go-Ow!" He yelped and fell to the floor. Sonny stood behind him holding the fire extinguisher.
"Shut up!" She yelled. She looked mad. Madder then I have ever seen her. She kicked him in the ribs. "Get up!" She orderd, and stepped back. As he got up and followed her, I slowly got up and followed them.
"I'm not that stupid!" He yelled, and turned around and whhomped me right in the face. Blood started pouring, and I backed up, slumping against the wall. How Sonny had the will power to keep going after years of this, I have no idea. I couldn't handle this for a second!
"Chad!" I heard, and then she was on the floor the extinguisher to far away.
Sonny was face down, and struggling to get up. I could just see her starting to fall apart. I knew she only had a few more pieces untill she compleatly crumbbled.
"Usless! Worthless! That's all you'll ever be, Sonny! You could never be anything special to nobody! No one cares! Your a worthless piece of crap! If people saw you on the street dead, they'd throw you into the trash can! In fact, they wouldn't even bother! they would just step right over you!" He screamed. He stepped on her back and she fell back down.
"That's not true!" She screamed. She sounded so firm for something that was breaking. I tried to get up to help her, but Everything was starting to look fuzzy, and I was seeing doubles.
"Yes it is!" He screamed back, taking his foot off her back to step on her hands.
"You think you can win...But in the end. You loose." He said softly. "Accept it."
S.P.O.V
I don't know where I got the strength from, but I'm pretty sure it was from my anger.
"Your wrong." I jumped up, and ran to grab the axe. The minute I turned around, he was there. I jumped aside, and his hand landed in the burning flames. The screech the followed was terrible, but I didn't feel the least bit sorry.
"Feel my pain!" I yelled. He got up, cradeling his hand. He looked up at me, but this time, I wasn't scared. Not no more.
He stumbled towards me and I trpped him. He fell at my feet, face down. So many emotions ran through my head. Anger, hurt, weakness...Power.
"You will never win. Not as long as I'm alive. I said. I stood to the side of him now, raising the axe slowly above my head. I waited untill he turned over. I saw fear in his eyes. Shock. This time, I wasn't the scared one.
"You wouldn't" He seethed. I stared down at him watching as he started to feel how I felt.
"Watch me. This is for mom!" I yelled , bringing down the axe, hitting the target.
C.P.O.V
I watched the scene before me with wide eyes. It was terrible. I watched as the head of the once might Ryan Black rolled into the flames, away from the body. I never knew Sonny had the strenght to do that.
She dropped the axe, and stared at the body. She looked...Happy. She should be. It's finally over. She's free.
"Sonny?" I asked. She turned her eyes on me, and came over to help me up.
"Sonny-" I started.
"Let's get out of here first" She said, dragging me down the stairs, and out onto the front lawn.
We sat down, adn Sonny stared at my nose. In the distance, I could hear sirens. Took them long enough.
"Chad I'm so sorry." She said, holding my bloody hands.
"It's okay. I can always get anew house." I said. She laughed and started crying at the same time.
"No, I meant about getting you involved in this. It wasn't fair. I put you in danger." She said. I stared at her.
"Sonny, please, stop. Either way, I would have been involved anyway. Don't beat yourself up abou it. You already had someone do that for you."
She started to laugh, and It was a happy laugh. Something I have not heard in a very long time.
"I'm just glade it's all finally over. No more worries. Just, peace." She said, coming and leaning on my shoulder. I put my arm around her and pulled her close.
"I'm glad to." I looked down at her and she looked up. I could see the spots of blood lineing her features. But she still looked more beautifull then any other girl in the world.
"I love you Sonny." I said. She smiled brightly, lighting up the night sky.
"I love you to Chad." She closed the distance between us, and I swear, I felt like I was being hit by ten bolts of lightning.
We pulled apart when the police, firefighters and ambulance came. We let them help us into the cars while the firefighters did their job. I smiled at Sonny one last time, and she did the same, and we got put on the strechers, before dozing off into a deep sleep. This time, not needing to worry about anything in the world.
~5 years later~
Sonny and Chad were finally married. The bought a huge house in British Columbia, where the had 2 kids: Ainsley and Barron. They were still famouse, and there friends visited often, especially Tawni. Sonny and Chad lived happy lives, forgetting the past, and looking forward into the future.
Still, to this day, no one was ever able to recover Ryan Blacks body. In fact, no one even knew what Sonny had done. Sonny has dwelled on this, but not for too long. She knew her and her mother had been avenged. She came to the theory that the body could have burnt to ashes to. But she never actully found out. She didn't care much either. For long ago when she prayed: "Help me before I die", she knew her prayers were answerd.
...
Well, this story is offically over. What did you think? Sorry if it's kind of sloppy and long. It's just, When I tried making it into 2 chaps...It just didn't work...So I just made it into one. I actully liked the way Ryan Black died. I didn't even want him to die, but it fit so well, it just had to happen. Anyway, thanks to all the awsome reviewers who have been through this journey with me! I will soon update'The Band' and then after the next chapter, there will probably be ony like...3 or 4. Anyway, hope you enjoyed! xoxox
