Possessed
Chapter 4
Brian turned the bookshelf corner and saw Colleen on the floor, her hand over a wound that was bleeding. Brian looked up and saw that Sully stood over Colleen like a wolf protecting its' prey from other predators.
In his hand was his bowie knife, the edges of it red with Colleens' blood. He had sliced her.
Colleen looked at Brian, her eyes pleading for him to help her. All she could do was whimper from fear and pain.
"What do you think you are doing here, my dear boy?" asked Sully.
Brian was speechless from fright and shock.
"You see, I thought I told you to keep quiet," said Sully advancing towards Brian.
"You are not the boss of me. You are not my father. You aren't even Sully," said Brian.
Sully smiled.
"You figured it out," said Sully stopping his advance.
"Now that you know, I'm afraid neither of you can live," he said.
Brian knew what this meant.
"I think not," said Brian and he bolted to the door.
Colleen and Sully were both taken aback by Brian's reaction.
"Brian," whimpered Colleen.
Brian shut the door shut and ran into the woods.
Colleen rested her head down in the pool of blood beneath her, hurt from the wound and from being left behind by her brother.
Sully sheathed his knife and turned to Colleen, still cowering on the floor.
"Looks like your brother doesn't love you as much as you thought," he said as he attempted to scoop her up in his arms bridal style.
Colleen was losing blood fast and didn't even bother to try to fight him.
Soon enough she was dosing in and out of consciousness.
"Where am I?" she managed to mutter out.
She swaggered back and forth while Sully carried her out the back door and onto the back of his horse that he had whistled for. He and Colleen were headed into the woods towards the old house that was once his.
"What are you doing?" asked Colleen.
Sully didn't answer any of her questions. He put her on the back of the horse first then got on behind her, making sure he held her tight while the horse trotted into the woods.
No one on the main street knew of the danger going on behind the buildings.
Colleens head drooped backwards onto Sully's shoulders while the horse trotted on.
It's too bad. This girl is quite a looker, thought the evil spirit now identified as Tom Wells.
He looked at her body, her long brunette hair, and her face with her beautiful eyes, which were currently shut.
Brain was smart. He hid in the woods and followed Sully and his sister through the woods, making sure to keep his distance.
While stalking Sully, Brian made sure to know where he was. And he definitely knew. Sully took him to the same place not twenty four hours ago.
"He's going back to the house and the tree," said Brian in a whisper.
Brian rushed back the way he came. There was no way he could take on Sully all by himself. He'd be sliced apart in no time.
Brian went to get some help. Cloud Dancing was the only one he could trust to help with the situation.
As Brian went for help, Sully reached the house. He dismounted his horse and grabbed Colleen, making sure she was still alive.
He put her down on one of the burnt boards of his previous home. Looking up into the sky, he noticed it was getting darker and darker.
Colleen didn't say anything. She had fallen into a deep sleep due to blood loss. If she didn't get medical attention soon, she would surely die. Her body started to shiver, but nothing could be done about that.
"There's no need to tie you up. It doesn't look like you're going to be going anywhere seeing as how you're so weak," said Sully whispering in Colleens' ear.
Sully looked at himself up and down. Colleens' blood had stained his clothing
"Well, it wouldn't be the first time," said Sully.
The wind had started to pick up and thunder rumbled overhead, signaling a storm was going to hit any minute.
Brian had managed to track down Cloud Dancing thanks to the old Sully showing him all their spots.
"Cloud Dancing!" panted Brian, almost tripping on his own feet.
Cloud Dancing got up from his position near the fire he had made and caught Brian in his arms.
"Brian, what's going on?" he asked.
As Brian explained the situation, Cloud Dancing listened intently.
At the end of the conversation, Cloud Dancing got up, put out his fire, while he and Brian ran to free Sully and Colleen, all the while, getting soaked from the rain that had started to come down from the heavens.
"You believe me?" asked Brian while running by Cloud Dancing.
"You have never given me any reason not to," said Cloud Dancing as they neared their destination.
