Chapter 23
"Help me! Somebody help!" She shrieked as loud as she could as the flames grew closer to her. She felt the heat throughout her entire body, causing her to break into a sweat. She struggled to breathe as the odor of the fumes grew stronger. And then...everything went black.
The old woman across the street stepped onto her front porch, quickly dialing 911. She knew the house had fire alarms, because they had gone off once before when they accidentally started a small fire in the oven. But she was puzzled of why they weren't going off now. She hoped nobody was in there because the house were quickly burning away. But she could swear she heard a scream earlier. She watched terrified as the police, ambulance, and firefighter arrived, all their alarms peircing throughout the neighborhood. Now everyone was watching on their front porches.
Firefighter all sprayed the house, calling through to make sure nobody was in the house. But as they entered one of the bedrooms, they were mortofied by the sight. There Alex's limp body lay, chained to a bed. The quickly broke through the hot chains, one of the firefighters scooping Alex in his arms. He quickly ran back down, resting her on a gurney. Everyone gasped at the body, who was yet to be identified. Nobody could tell who it was, because the face was layered with soot. She was rushed to the emergency room as the firefighters finally put out the rest of the fire. But the house was destroyed. Unable to be fixed.
The police contacted Dean, who was at first baffled. He knew his parents were home yet and nobody else was in his house. But when they told him a girl was found chained to a bed and he called Alex and got no response he suddenly knew it had to be her. And it was.
Dean entered the hospital, practically stumbling against the front desk. This all felt too familiar. And the same woman was working at the front desk. She smiled at him, knowing who he was here for. "Are you here for Alexandra Russo?" Dean nodded, unable to speak. "There's nonews yet, but as soon as there is I'll let you know."
"Thank you." Dean whispered huskily, collapsing onto a chair. And a second later Alex's family and Harper strolled into the hospital.
"Is there any news?" Theresa asked, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Dean shook his head, letting the tears fall. Was it even possible for her to survive this? The entire house had been destroyed. Hopefully the firefighters had gotten her out in time. But Dean didn't know a thing about what had happened. The only thing he knew was Mason had done this. He wanted to kill Mason right now. How could somebody hurt Alex? She was always so happy and funny.
So they waited hours. And then finally a nurse appeared. But the news she brought wasn't what they wanted. "I'm sorry, visiting time is over."
