Chapter 10: Lost trust
After Libby had to calm Molly after... Realizing her best friend murdered someone, Molly was walking back home. Again normally she wouldn't talk with Scratch about his past, but she needed explanaiton. How could he actually do this? Why? She needed answers.
When she got back home, she went to the attic. However... The moment she opened the door, she felt cold chills... It was unusually cold here... And then she felt like someone is behind her... She turned around and...
''YOU!'' Scratch screamed as he grabbed her arm and knocked her on the floor, while he continued to hold her hand.
He had those red demonic eyes, his blue ectoplasm was darker than usual and hes teeth were sharpened. He was also squeezing Molly's arm painfully...
''WHERE IS IT? TELL ME RIGHT NOW, WHERE IS IT?''
Molly was frightened by Scratch. She struggeled to free herself, since she was in alot of pain... For the first time in her life, she was actually scared from her best friend.
''Scratch! Please... AHHHHH! SCRATCH, PLEASE LET ME GO!'' Molly screamed in fear.
''NOT UNTIL YOU TELL ME WHERE MY PHOTO IS! I KNOW YOU TOOK IT! WHERE IS IT!?''
Molly didn't know what to say. First, she was terrifyed by Scratch. Second, now she was in alot of pain and by Scratch's force, her arm started to turn red. And third, she really didn't know what to say since she left it in the camp...
''OW, OW, OW! I... I'm sorry Scratch... I... I just wanted to see it, but forgot it there... I, AHH! SCRATCH, YOU REALLY ARE HURTING ME, PLEASE LET ME GO!'' Molly screamed as tears started to fall from her eyes.
Scratch was now more furious than ever. Not only, she took his dollhouse without his permision, not only she violated his privacy, but she forgot it there? He know squeezed her arm with all the power he had.
''WHAT? GIVE ME ONE REASON, WHY I SHOULDN'T END YOUR MISERABLE LIFE RIGHT NOW!''
Molly was now more scared than ever. She never imagined Scratch would actually say something like this... The pain in her arm was now unbelieveble...
''Scratch, I'm sorry! I truly am, AHHHHHHH! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, LET ME GO!''
Even through he was furious, he now saw how terrifyed Molly is. He used to try to scare her, just because she really was a challenege, but he never succeeded. But now, she was crying and begging for mersy... He finally calmed down, let her go and returned to his true friendlier colors, but he was still mad.
''From all the things you did Molly, THIS IS THE WORST! You stole my entire dollhouse and now this? DON'T YOU KNOW, YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO TAKE STUFF THAT DON'T BELONG TO YOU? Ok... I will forgive you this time, but...
Scratch grabbed her arm again...
''If you even think to mess with MY STUFF without asking again, I WILL MAKE THE REST OF YOUR EXISTENCE A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH!'' Scratch screamed agressivly.
''S-S...S-Sorry... I... I promise it will never happen again, I... I really promise...'' Molly said in pain and terrifyed.
Scratch freed her and he flew away downstairs. She looked her arm and... The results were painfully shocking. Her arm was hurting her so bad, she continued to cry from pain and it was painfully red. She couldn't believe what just happened... Scratch threatened her and hurt her...
...
It was afternoon and she was close to a tree, as the forest was behind her. Few hours after the incident and her arm still painfully red and it was hurting like hell. The reason why she was here was... Because she was actually scared to go back to her home... She really was so scared from Scratch, she left and for few hours she was just sitting here... Of course, she didn't even dared to ask him about... His murder secret, since she was terrifyed what he could possibly do to her...
She was thinking about all that happened today and... She felt some kind of relief... She felt some kind of pure energy behind her... She was first confused why, but when she turned around... Deep in the forest, she saw the white wolf from the camp...
She was feeling happy to see it again. She started to walk towards it. She was feeling... So relaxed. That white, blue eyed wolf was looking so beautiful. She couldn't explain to herself, how could a creature look so beautiful... She was now deep in the woods and when she was infront of the wolf, she stopped.
The wolf now startet to slowly walk towards her. But it didn't look aggresive or predatory like normall wolfs. It was actually calm. It was getting closer... And closer... And it stopped as it laid his head down, as it looked like it wanted to be petted.
Molly was feeling so honored to pet this beautiful wolf. She slowly reached out her hand to pet it... She was feeling the warm and soft fur of the wolf. After all the problems she had, she was feeling so relaxed to pet this beautiful animal. It looked like the wolf was also enjoying it. When she finally stopped, the wolf looked at her with the most beautiful blue eyes, she has ever seen... It looked like this wolf really was from heaven...
...
It was now bed time. Scratch fall asleep few hours ago and... They couldn't even look at each other. Molly hid her hurted arm from her parents, by wearing a purple hoody, she never normally use... No goodnight hug, not a chance to explain to him what happened... Nothing... She was feeling ashamed of herself... She didn't know how to properly apologize to her best friend... She knew normally, he would never hurt her. She never wanted to break the dollhouse in the first place... She just got distracted... After she petted the wolf, it just magicaly disappeared... She couldn't explain how that happened the whole day...
''Molly! Come down for a second!'' Sharon said from downstairs.
Molly got out of her bed and put her purple hoody and went downstairs. It was very dark and this made her little scared... Her mom wasn't there... She searched around, but her mom wasn't there... This is when she noticed in the kitched... A dark shadowy figure...
She froze the moment she saw it... She wanted to scream... She wanted to run... But she was scared, that if she moves a muscle, the demon will kill her...
''Hey there Molly...''
The moment the demon started to talk, Molly stepped back.
''You... You can't be here... You are dead...''
''Am I?''
Molly was on the verge to faint... She didn't know what to do... She tried to move, but... Her feet where stuck on the ground... She tried everything she could, just to get out, but she couldn't... The demon was getting closer... And closer... And grabbed Molly's arm and squezeed it with all the power she had...
''NOOOOO! AHHHHHHHH! LET ME GO!'' Molly cried out.
''You did this yourself! If you weren't such a horrible person, Scratch would've never hurt you... Right?''
This is when she finally managed to free herself and ran out the door... Only to end up in a small apartmend...
It was the last apartmend, her family used to live in. Sometimes she kinda missed it, but she was more happy in Brighton... The door behind her shut, and now she was stuck here...
She didn't know what to do... She was scared from how dark it was... This is when she noticed... Scratch in the corner...
''Scratch!'' Molly said as she went and embraced him in tight hug.
However... Scratch didn't respond at all... He wasn't moving... He wasn't even breathing... He was so... Dead like... Even through he is a ghost, he was never so lifeless...
''Big mistake, McGee''
Scratch pushed her, grabbed her throat and started to agressivly choke her. She couldn't move at all, from all this pressure... She tried everything she could, but it was impossible...
''SCH-ATC... PL-ESE... D-TN''
She tried everything she could to free herself, but nothing worked... She started to slowly close her eyes, as the world around her was becoming dark... She realized, she was slowly dying by her best friend...
...
Molly woke up in 3:00 AM. She couldn't believe what her nightmare was... She was feeling tired and terrifyed... The whole day, she was feeling tired and little scared, but now it was even worse... And she felt that huge hunger... She didn't know what exatcly was happening... Scratch just killed her in her dream... She started to question... Can she actually trust her best friend at all?
