Through Rayne's Eyes
Chapter 9
"Are you sure she's dead? She was alive ten minutes ago." Henry asks.
Shane nodded. "I checked her pulse. She's dead."
Inside the other room, Trish had gotten Rayne to calm down. "I'm okay, just shaken up….." she said.
"We need to get out of here." Shea says.
A few minutes later, Shane and Jimmy left to get the boat ready and Abby, Henry and a few other people went to go get Cal and Chloe. The others stayed at the Inn.
Rayne was looking out the window. "After all the fights my mom and I had…..I'll be glad to see her."
"You and your mom fought?" JD asks.
"Yeah…." She replied, turning around to face him. "She didn't like me hanging around with you after……your parents died…."
"Why?"
"I don't know. Moms are too overprotective of their daughters." She replied.
"We should head to the docks."
…………………
Everyone was walking towards Jimmy's boat when Shane screamed. "Jimmy, get out of there!!!"
Then, Jimmy's boat blew up. "Jimmy!!!" Abby screamed and tried to run over, but Henry kept her back.
BANG
A gunshot hit the dock. "Someone's shooting at us!! Get to the Cannery!!" Henry says and the group began to run.
Rayne was running with the group when she felt a bullet graze her left leg. She cried out, falling on the docks.
"Rayne!!" JD ran over to her and helped her up. They continued to the Cannery.
After barricading the doors, Abby rolled up Rayne's pant leg and she winced. "Sorry." She said. "It isn't too bad." She grabbed some peroxide and bandages and fixed up her wound.
There was a knock on the door. "It's me!" they heard Nikki from outside.
Shane let her in. "What the hell is going on? Where is everyone?"
"Either left or they're dead." Shane replied.
"The killer wants nothing to do with us locals. So I'll just leave." Maggie says.
"You can't leave! He'll kill you!" Shane says, but Maggie ignored him and left. To their surprise, she wasn't shot or harmed and disappeared into the woods.
All of a sudden, Rayne's cell phone vibrated in her pocket. She answered it. "Hello?"
"Rayne?" Mom asks. It was static, but she could hear her mom.
"Mom?"
"Your phone still works?" JD asks.
"Rayne, help me. I'm on the island!"
"Where?"
"In the woods by a small cabin."
And then the other end clicked. "My mom….she's on the island."
"How she get here?" JD asks.
"I don't know, but let's sneak out the back way. She's by Harkin's cabin."
……………………………..
The two were walking through the woods when they came to Harkin's cabin. "Mom!!" she yelled out.
"Rayne….!"
The two walked around to see her mom standing on the ground, with a rope tied around her neck that went over a high tree branch. "Mom….!" Rayne cried and tried to run to her, but JD held her back.
Mom was crying. "I'm so sorry honey; he got to me before I could call you."
"Who mom?"
"John Wakefield."
"Mom, he's dead! The Sheriff killed him!"
Mom shook her head. "No Rayne, he's very much alive." She then looked at JD. "Take good care of my daughter."
There was a screech of tires and Mom was taken up to the branch, where her neck broke with a sickening crack.
"Mom!!" she screamed and broke down.
"Come on, you don't need to see this." He tugged on her arm and she willing followed.

RING……….RING………..RING……………
Rayne woke to the church bell ringing. She opened her eyes and saw that JD was still asleep.
She poked his forehead. "Hey, wake up."
He stirred a little, but didn't open his eyes and pulled her closer. "Just a few more minutes……" he mumbled.
She sighed and then poked him harder, this time in the side.
"I'm up……" he muttered.
"Come on sleepy-head, I heard the church bell ringing." She said yanking him into a standing position. The two then headed to the church, where they met up with Abby and the others.
"Where have you two been?"
"Abby……someone killed my mom last night. I watched her die." Rayne replied sadly. "I guess we fell asleep in the woods."
Cal looked around. "Where's Chloe?"
……………………
Henry, Abby, Rayne and JD watched as Cal was killed and Chloe committed suicide. John Wakefield looked up at them.
"Let's get out of here." Henry says and the four take off.
