Death of Helen
By: DKorley
CHAPTER 9
Helen sat on Alex's guestroom bed telling her brother about her dream she had in the phychiatric ward, Alex listened closely. Jonathan was in the living reading the newspaper with Rick and Connor playing on the floor, Sarah was in the kitchen.
"And I saw this lady, and she looked a lot like mum! She saw me and screamed, Alex I didn't want to follow her in my dream but something force me to. I remember looking at my hand and it wasn't my hand." Helen said, Alex sat on the floor furrowing his eyebrows in confusion.
"I think that's the story." he said.
"Of what?"
"Think of it, a lady who looks alot like mum...your hand not being yours. That was how Aunt Helen died." he said.
"Who's Aunt Helen?"
"She was the person you kept on drawing in your pictures, she was our aunt. She died when mum was seven."
"I told you I never knew how to draw..." Alex got up and went out, Helen followed him. He entered her room and started to search in her things. He looked inside a drawer and took a thick stack of papers out, he pulled a confused Helen into his room and locked the door. Helen was confused, he laid out the picture of dead people, a house she kept on drawing. There was another thick stack of papers.
"What's this?" she asked, some of the papers where different parts of a body and different parts of a house. Alex realized what this was.
"You made a puzzle Helen, I think the girl who controlled you did clues." he suspected that when Helen was acting strange, it wasn't her...it was someone else.
Evy woke up, she found herself in her husband's arms and smiled. She remembered Brendan's words and got up kissing him on the cheek. She saw on the clock was very early in the morning; about 3 o'clock. She went through the hallway and downstairs into the living room. She saw the long hallway again and went into the room of the diary which was still in the place she threw it.
"This should give me and answer." she said.
She took the book and sat on the bed turning the old dusty lamp on, she took the diary's pen and began to write...
hello? are you there?
She waited patiently until she recieved an answer. I'm here. Evy smiled and then wrote, she did and saw it dissapear.
I need you to tell me how my sister died...please, I need your help.
Minutes passed, and Evy finally gave up. She was about to throw the book away again until she got an answer which confused her.
Helen is dead.
She chuckled a bit, thinking the diary or whoever wasn't getting her. When she was about to write again, in the middle of her writing it disappeared suddenly.
I chopped her up, still she didn't have a breath on her. Starting from beginning, I'll make a list...
Victoria
Stephan
Catherine
Harold
Julia
Jake
Susan
Jerry
Lydia
and Helen, then I'm saving you...for last.
Evy threw the diary away and got up, she jumped when she heard a noise. She opened the door and started to run, the lights started to flicker and then they shut off. Evy whimpered going up the long stairs, she finally made it to her room and saw Ardeth still sleeping. She shook him to wake him up.
"Ardeth...ARDETH!" He shot up, he held her shoulders trying to calm her.
"What is it?"
"I knew how she died, we have to go home now!"
"Wha.." they got quiet when they heard a crash downstairs.
Alex and Helen kept on looking for the pieces and placed them together trying to finish the puzzle, the picture was becoming a little clear. And it was beginning to look familiar, they finally finished shocked at the picture.
"Oh no." Alex said quietly; it was Evy and Ardeth standing in front of a house. Alex looked closely at the picture looking for more clues; he found one.
"Helen."
"What?"
"Look at that tree." she did but looked back at him.
"I don't see anything..."
"Look closely!" he said, she did trying her best to look closely until she saw what her brother meant. There was someone in a black jacket with a grotesque mask made out of dry dirty paper as if it was patched to the face, the person had an axe which Helen remebered herself in her dream holding it.
"I think I was that man in my dream." she said quiet, they looked at eachother; their parents were in big danger.
Evy and Ardeth ran trough the hallway, they reached the door which was open and then in a swift move it shut itself, the windows sealed down and its curtains moved to cover it; there was darkness. Evy held on to Ardeth, she heard footsteps running around.
The rain began to fall, there was complete silence except of the noise being made by the rain. Thunders began to hit, Evy still held on to Ardeth and slowly heard faint footsteps heading towards them. She turned to look at the long hallway and when the light of a thunder came...she saw a person with an ugly mast; dirty papers looked as if they were patched to the person's face. But what scared her the most is the weapons the stranger had; an axe, a hammer, a saw, with a knife.
"Ardeth."
"Yes."
"Look at my direction." he did and when another thunder hit, under its light he could see what Evy saw.
"What the hell is that?" he asked quietly; the stranger started running towards them. Evy screamed and Ardeth pulled her to run. They tried to open the windows and doors but it was no use, the stranger was getting closer running like some madman just to kill them both.
"Evy go!" Ardeth stayed back.
"Bu-"
"GO!" She did, Ardeth tried to fight the killer but the killer just passed him; he was going after Evy! Ardeth run after him.
Evy ran through the long hallway hearing running behind her, she looked back and saw him chasing her. She screamed going through a door, she saw a small trap door and went inside the trap door, she found herself in a big dugeon. Crying in fear as she went down the stony steps with each torch on the wall lighting up, she heard the trap door break behind her and she screamed. She hid behind a door she found catching her breath, she sat hearing him walk slowly around.
She sighed quietly in relieve not hearing him anymore, she smiled and then it faded when she heard something quiet odd. As if the walk was cracking, she looked striaght at the small hole in front of her, she didn't know it was there. A pale hand appeared and then another one, drenched hair then came out, it was the girl in the bath tub Evy saw. She screamed when she saw a little girl next to her, and she started backing away until she fell. She got back up seeing that they were gone and kept on running to anywhere that might lead outside, she heard him running.
She screamed still running when she kept on seeing those dead people, the girl who came out of the hole crawled on the ceiling slowly after Evy. Evy saw a small window with drops of rain on it, she broke the window hard with her hand which started to bleed pretty badly and looked back; he was so close. She struggled to get up by jumping, she cried when he came closer and finally reached the small window, she let herself trough and touched the muddy grass, she was covered in mud. She screamed when she felt a gloved hand on her ankle, he pulled her with such strength that her leg was scratched through the broken glass, she screamed in pain when she felt the saw he had slicing her ankle; she finally pulled her ankle and began to run as fast as she could.
Ardeth searched everywhere for Evy until he heard her screaming voice, he looked outside and saw her. He took a chair and tried to break the window but somehow it didn't break. He guessed when it shut by itself it held a power to be a little less brittle. He started to hear noises and he looked back seeing a pale girl in a nightgown crawling to his direction, he hit the glass harder and she came closer. He used all his strength and finally did gettting out. He climbed down and saw Evy running with the killer running after her.
"EVY!"
Alex and Helen had told Jonathan about Evy and Ardeth being in danger, Jonathan believed them because they spoke of Evy in danger. And he wasn't sure at first, they entered the car with Sarah and the two boys stayed behind.
"We have to get ther fast." Jonathan said." Buckle up."
Tey drove off, praying hopefully that they would reach Ireland which was hours away in time. Meanwhile Evy run as fast as she could, her lacerations slowed her down. She looked back and kept on running seeing the killer closer to her, the killer finally pinned her down and began pulling her back by the two legs.
"ARDETH!" She screamed.
The killer stopped looking down at her, Evy looked through the mask behind the two holes looking for eyes; but they were none. The killer took out the dried blood axe and raised it making Evy scream...just when the killer was about to kill her Ardeth knocked him down. He pulled his weak wife up hugging her and then kissing her, the killer started to stand up.
"Go and call the police..I'll be alright." he told her, she nodded believing him and went on up.
Ardeth took a thick stick from the low branches of the large tree, the killer took out his axe and swung it at Ardeth who dodged it. Evy ignored the images she saw on the way, they were all the people who died at the hands of the stranger who almost killed her, Evy even saw her sister. She reached the city, going to a woman she saw
"Please I need help..I need the police, my husband is in trouble." the woman did quickly horrified by Evy's lacerations.
The police came minutes later, Ardeth managed to take the axe and took of the head, but no one was behind the mask. Ardeth stopped and saw the clothes slowly going down, he saw a girl appeared behind him.
"I started all this, thank you." she was the same girl who was crawling to him but she stood and she wasn't pale anymore. Ardeth nodded and she disappeared.
He heard the policemen coming down, he dropped the axe when he saw Evy behind one of them cevered with a blanket. She ran to him hugging him and crying...
"I'm so sorry, I got you into this."
"No don't" he hugged her harder and kissed her deeply.
Jonathan and the others came minutes after, Evy and Ardeth realized them with the killer and everything took hours. The policemen burned the house down later on; no one would be getting killed then. Evy and Ardeth were sent to the hospital, two weeks later they were able to leave to London.
EPILOGUE
Two years later since the incident in the home Helen died in, it wasn't a mystery now thanks the Evy. Evy smiled at Jonathan. They sat on the grass together in front of Helen's gravestone.
"Jonathan?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you think Helen is happy now?"
"Of course, you saved her." he touched her shoulder and she smiled. Brendan was now out of the phychiatric ward and was starting his life over again. Alex was now playing football and graduated into college at the age of seventeen, Helen started to go into drama school to be an actress. Rick started going to school, Connor was also joining his cousin in drama school. Sarah was still herself, she and Jonathan had time off to build up their relationship.
Evy and Jonathan stood up, Evy placed the large bundle of flowers on her sister's gravestone.
"I love you." she said brething the fresh air, Jonathan touched her shoulder and they left the cemetary. Evy also found the gravestone of Diana, the one who started this but never meant to.
THE END.
Sorry the story ended sooner, but those were the ideas I had. But on my next story the story will be longer. I'm now updating it.
