{Chapter FIVE}
Len took a step back. "Mom, what are you doing with that knife?"
"Honey, let me in. Have a cookie." She laughed, but it wasn't exactly a joyful laugh. It was more like the laugh Dr. Frankenstein laughed when his monster came to life.
"Haha, Mom that's really funny. So, um, can you put that knife down, it's kind of creeping me out."
Something flickered in his mother's eyes. "You scum! Filthy liar! You left me! Give me that damn stone or I'll kill you!" She swung the knife wildly at Len. Terrified, Len ran out of the house, hearing his mother cackling one second, then asking him if he wanted a cookie the next second. Her voice drifted down the stairs and followed Len outside eerily.
He ran around town, but it dawned on him that nowhere was safe. The whole town could be filled with monsters seeking the stone for all he knew. Len felt his heartbeat escalating alarmingly fast. Then he felt the stone bump against his leg.
He pulled it out. "So you can grant me one wish, right? Well here it is. Make all these problems go away. I don't want you anymore!" Len threw the stone as far as he could, relief flooding him when it disappeared from sight.
A hand from behind him wrapped around his neck. "Yes, I'll take all you're problems away. It's so simple. Here, I'll show you how." The voice was whispery and reminded Len of the wispy white patterns on the stone.
"Like this." Then hand jerked backward and snapped the boy's neck. The last thing Len saw was the bright blue sky filled with wispy white clouds.
They seemed to be laughing at him.
A/N: Ahhh, supernatural is so hard. But I re-read my earlier entry, and it was so bad and cliché and full of cheese, I felt a desperate urge to redo it. Not like this one is any better. /sob
I wanted to achieve a sort of horror feeling, like the feeling when you're watching Higurashi (When They Cry) at night. And the lights are off. And no one's home. On a new moon. /runs away (I was thinking of Rena when I wrote the part where Len's mom calls him a liar. USODA!)
And, because I'm me, I added a touch of humor. And, last but not least, I do not own any of the characters, they belong to Crypton. However, I do own the plot and I would not like it if you stole it and I will set Yuno, Rena and all other knife weilding anime character that I don't own after you and you better believe you'll meet a horrible (virtual) end.
