Chapter 11
Once the girls had gone to bed Carmen decided that she would sit and look at the photo album again. Times seemed as if they were better then. Yeah everybody was happy now but it was better then. Mya was so much of an outsider and Metatron was around more. After an hour of just looking through picture after picture of Mya's childhood Carmen was convinced that she should act more her age.
*I can't believe it! I'm 39 but I act, dress, and look like I did when Mya was first born. I need to act my age!* Carmen thought to herself and kicked the desk that was in her room. "Damn that hurt!" Carmen said and sat down on the floor to nurse her foot. She was looking around her room when she noticed that something had fallen off the desk onto the floor. So she crawled over to it and picked it up. It was the locket that Metatron had given her when Mya was born. She looked at it a minute and then slipped it into the pocket of her pajamas.
*Oh not acting my age won't hurt. I should just treasure my life by acting not my age then acting my age!* Carmen thought to herself and began to dance around the room just to make herself feel better about how she acted and what had happened earlier that day.
She didn't even notice that someone was climbing in threw her window, that was on the other side of the room.
Carmen closed her eyes and did one last little twirl before stopping when she heard a voice in the back of her head yell, CARMEN WATCH OUT! She screamed when she saw Bartleby with a knife in his hand and a murderous look in his eyes.
She wanted to run but her legs didn't seem to want to move. She closed her eyes and let whatever comes, come. He lunged forward and stabbed her in the stomach. He twisted the knife and then looked into her eyes, and saw something pass before them, something he couldn't name.
"Oh, poor little Carmen. To bad no one's gonna miss you when your dead!" Bartleby told her and then pulled the knife out of her stomach letting her fall to the ground before him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mya jumped out of bed and literally panicked. "LOKI, WHERE ARE YOU?!" She screamed and ran outside her door. She knew that if something were wrong he would help her no matter what. He appeared before her and she almost jumped on top of him. "What's happening? Why did my mother scream like that?"
"It's Bartleby. He's here, I can feel him. Now I'm gonna kill him!" Loki said and grabbed Mya's arm. He pulled her towards the door and they stopped in front of it. He opened it a crack and peeked in. He saw enough, Carmen had just fallen and Bartleby with the knife. Loki let go of Mya's arm and stormed inside the room.
Mya ran over to Kimmie and told her to run and find a phone, just in case. After Kimmie had gone to find a phone Mya went back over to her mothers door and peeked inside.
Loki and Bartleby were arguing but she couldn't quite catch what they were saying. Then all of the sudden it looked as if Loki had enough and he vanished leaving a perfect opportunity for Bartleby to see her at the door.
"Well, it looks as if there's no one here to help you. So I'm just gonna have to kill you." Bartleby said and started to walk towards the door. Mya was in shock but she slammed the door and ran into her room. She grabbed a baseball bat that was lying on the ground and ran back outside into the hall. Bartleby opened the door madder then ever and walked outside. Mya held up the bat in defense and he let out a little laugh. "Do you think your any match for me kid?" Mya swung the bat at him and knocked the knife out of his hand.
"Yes, yes I do!" Mya said and swung at him again with the bat, this time knocking him backward into the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Metatron couldn't believe what just happened. He got there as quickly as he could but Carmen was almost gone. He wanted to hit himself for not getting there earlier.
Yeah maybe he is an angel and he can do a miracle, but he can't on her. It was just some weird rule in Heaven that at this point he wished they would take back. He didn't want Carmen to die, especially now.
"Carmen, are you OK?" He asked her even though he knew that she was in more pain then ever now. He picked her up and cradled her in his arms. Her shirt was covered in blood from her wound but he didn't care. He just wanted to be able to hold her one last time.
"Does it look like I'm OK?" She said and laughed. He tried to smile but couldn't.
"I'm so sorry that I didn't come earlier. Look what has happened because of it." Metatron said and started crying in what you would say a way angels cry.
"Don't feel sorry and please don't cry," Carmen said and put her hand to his face, " Please tell Mya that I love her and that I will always be with her. I also want to tell you that no matter how many guys I dated you were always the one and you will always be the one." She finished her sentence and pulled him into a kiss with her last ounce of strength. Metatron held her tighter then and cried even more.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bartleby lunged at Mya and she ducked out of the way before he could grab her. He hit the wall behind her and she smacked him again with the bat. This time though he grabbed it and pulled it from her hands. She started to walk backwards and didn't even realize that he had intentionally walked her to were the stairs were. He swung the bat at her and she fell backwards and down the stairs. She picked herself up as best she could and yelled to Kimmie, "KIMMIE CALL 911 NOW!"
Kimmie took the phone and dialed 911 even though she was shaking badly because of what was happening. She told them what had and what was happening and where they lived and hung up the phone when they said the ambulance and the police where on their way. She then went over to one of the drawers and began to dig threw it for a knife. She searched threw at least 5 before she found a butchers knife in the last one. She picked it up and looked at it. Immediately she felt nauseated like she shouldn't do this but her friend was in trouble she had to! She then ran over to where Mya and Bartleby where dueling it out with the bat.
Bartleby hit her in the head with the bat and then grabbed one of her wings. He was about to rip it off when Kimmie came up behind him and stabbed him in the back. He screamed and then turned around and hit Kimmie with the bat. She fel back unconscious and Mya grabbed the knife and stabbed Bartleby in the back again and again and again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Metatron had heard all the noise from up stairs and he decided that he should go and see what was happening. He got up and laid Carmen neatly on the bed. He gave her a kiss on the forehead and then walked out the door. He ran downstairs and saw Mya stabbing Bartleby, who was already dead, with the butchers knife. He ran over to her and grabbed her hand. He took the knife away from her and let it drop to the ground. He saw the look in Mya's eyes so he pulled her into a hug. She began to cry so he just tried to calm her and they stayed that way in till the police and the ambulance arrived on the scene.
