Chapter Thirty-Six
Someone Help Me, Something's Wrong
When I awoke the first thing I saw was a pair of soft brown eyes I had come to trust. Ray. I gulped in a breath of air and coughed a little. My ribs hurt but not nearly as much as my arms. I looked down and saw a large bruise forming where Chase had gripped my arm.
"Lily, what happened to you?"
"It was him, Ray it was him, he did this and...Travis...killed Audrey...coming back..." Ray pressed his fingers to her mouth to silence her and had a very stern look in his eyes.
"What do you mean, 'killed Audrey?' Lily, you're not telling me something and I want to know NOW!" I looked at him in fright. Ray had never spoken to me in this manner I started trembling. "Lily, I'm sorry, it's just...what about Audrey?"
"He killed her, he tried to kill Travis, and he just attacked me. If we don't go he's gonna get Travis!" My voice was rising in fright but Ray held me still.
"Travis is fine. He got to the police station safely. He was wondering where you had gone and was really worried, that's why I came looking for you. He wanted to come but I forced him to go." I silently nodded and Ray helped me stand up.
I slipped and Ray gripped onto my arm to hold me up. A yell of pain escaped my lips. Ray quickly let go and I leaned against a locker and slid down. I looked at my arm and saw where the metal from the locker had pierced my flesh. The cut looked to be about half an inch deep and 3 inches long. The blood had been dry but when Ray gripped me the scab must have broken off. The cut was oozing with fresh blood, just the sight of it made me wince.
"That looks like it hurts. "I gave him a look that said, "duh!" He ripped the sleeve of his shirt and wrapped up my cut. I smiled at his thoughtfulness.
"Thanks Ray, that was sweet. But, I have to get to that police station. Chase has to be stopped before he gets to Travis." We both nodded and ran in the direction of the exit.
