Death Targets
"From the Predator to the Prey"Aurora questioned পাঠ করা the note.
As soon as I read this I called them all to my house I also told them about the (bio) dad situation.
"So that's the same the person who turned off the power at Tweety's house" Ariel asked
"Had to be"Fable nodded "who else could it be"
"Should we tell the police"Owen asked
"It's like Gregg ব্যক্ত we need hard cold facts this can also be counted as a joke"Tweety reminded us
"And it's like the note says he's never been caught before"Gregg told us
"We should fight back"Aurora ব্যক্ত suddenly
"What!Fight back...how?"Fable asked
"The police can't help us...yet.We have to be the ones to catch him and then the police will take care of the rest"Aurora replied "we have to very careful and devious.No way am I going to be the prey"
"But it's dangerous"
"Aurora's right"Tweety ব্যক্ত "the police are going to do nothing even if they believe us, there going to wait til one of us gets killed and then they'll do something"
"She's right"Mike agreed "this is something that we have to do"
"Yeah"Gregg ব্যক্ত "were like the Death Targets"
"The Death Targets?"
"The Death Targets"Gregg replied "death always targets us"
"But it doesn't"Fable informed him
"At least have a little imagination"
"Death Targets"I ব্যক্ত holding out my hand
"Death Targets"the rest of them ব্যক্ত putting their hands on শীর্ষ of mine
"All right guys today we just pledged ourselves to fight back and stand দ্বারা each other...agreed"they all nodded "Then Death Targets we shall be"
"Is it okay to be scared"Tweety asked
"Of course it is...I'm scared too"Aurora said
"Can we eat ডিনার here I'm starving"
"Sure"
They ate ডিনার here, dad was still at work and mom had already eaten. At first Vastiste was really shy and barely ব্যক্ত a word but later on she clicked with them all...Gregg especially.Hmm I may have to put him on my list.
Hanging out with them was nice. I felt like I finally belonged here. And I could tell Vastiste liked them too.
Later that night I was awakened দ্বারা the sound of loud voices coming from my parents bedroom. They were yelling at each other, really loud.I could hear them clearly as if I was standing in the room.
"The reason we moved here was so we can actually be a family"Mom yelled
"I have a job too"dad yelled right back
"Well at least come home! আপনি didn't even eat ডিনার with us! And আপনি left Kyle at the police station! It seems আপনি প্রণয় your JOB আরো than আপনি প্রণয় আপনি FAMILY!"Mom shouted
I saw the door that connected Vastiste's and I's room opened and she came in, her eyes full of tears. I patted the free মহাকাশ of my বিছানা and she sat down and laid her head on my shoulder.
"Are they ever gonna stop"She asked
"I don't know"I told her
"Do আপনি think we'll stay"
"I'm not sure besides mom doesn't have enough money to সরানো out"
The yelling grew louder I tried to drown them out with the tv but to no avail.
"Was this how your mom and dad fought"
"I think it was much আরো intense"
"This is their first fight"she sobbed
"I know"
We listened to our parents fight, I held Vastiste as she cried. দ্বারা the time they stopped yelling it was a few মিনিট to morning, I sent Vastiste back to her room for some sleep.
In the morning Vastiste and I discovered Noel had slept on the couch, and left for work earlier than usual. Mom was still sleeping, so we made breakfast and instead of taking the bus we took her car.
"Won't mom get mad"Vastiste asked as I pulled the car out "she'll probably stay in বিছানা all day"
For the পরবর্তি few মিনিট we drove in silence, coming closer to school every second.
"Do আপনি want to skip today"I asked as Vastiste wiped her eyes.
"Why would we do that"
"Seriously your gonna ask"I ব্যক্ত "our parents had their first fight and your crying...were skipping school"
"No!Please..."Vastiste ব্যক্ত crying harder but it was to late I changed the direction of the car.
"Where are we going"Vastiste asked quietly
"I don't want to bug mom"I answered "so were to hang out at the mall"
After finding a parking spot I dragged Vastiste out of the car and we went from store to store. I have to say I'm glad we both brought our money. We both bought cappuccino's and we sat at a table.
"What time is it"
"10:30"I ব্যক্ত looking at my watch "not bad"
"Can we see a movie"Vastiste asked
"Come on V what movie would we see"
Vastiste shrugged her shoulders "any"
"Why don't we check other stores"
"The bookstore"Vastiste suggested
"Of course"I agreed "but after we finish these"I lifted the cup up. Vastiste nodded and went at her cappuccino.When we were done we spent a long (long long) time at the bookstore and then we went to a game store. And many আরো stores we went to and a lot of money we spent.
দ্বারা the time we left the mall it was 1:54, we still had some ক্যান্ডি চকোলেট left so we munched on it on the way to the car. Vastiste's attitude perked up and she wasn't crying anymore.
When we got প্রথমপাতা I noticed someone had texted me, it was Fable wondering where I was. I explained what happened and she replied back that they were on their way. I told Vastiste and she nodded "I'll put your stuff away for আপনি and"she added as I was about to say something "don't worry about me I'm fine"
A few মিনিট later the guys arrived.
"Is your mom still sleeping"Tweety questioned after she hugged me.
"Yeah,V and I think she spent the whole of last night crying"
"That's just sad...but নমস্কার it'll get better"Owen patted my back.
"Hopefully, sorry for almost giving আপনি a hard attack"I ব্যক্ত "I should've told আপনি I wasn't going to school"
"Kyle"Tweety ব্যক্ত "we kind of-um...we know this is a bad time but-"
"We skipped school too"Mike cut her off
"Why?"
"We went hunting"
"We didn't mean too"Ariel told me
"Hunting?"
"We looked for signs of the masked murderer...any"
"But we found nothing"Aurora finished for her
"Are guys insane!You of all people should know how dangerous he is"
"We were going insane doing nothing"Mike said
"Even if আপনি had found him you'd be in আরো danger"
"We just wanted to find him"Tweety told me
"It's okay...but there's one for sure I cannot stand"
"What"Gregg asked me
"This house"I replied "get me out of here"
~Upstairs~
Vastiste had already put her new stuff away, even though she didn't want to admit it she was glad they cut school. It was totally worth it. Now all she had to do was put Kyle's stuff in his room and since she was in a good mood, she'll put away his things too.
After she was done, she started to walk away when she heard a weird noise. And she knew that noise, there was something under the floorboards. Vastiste knew she shouldn't but it was killing her. What could be under them? She bent down and carefully pulled the floorboard, it took some time but she managed to pry it open. In it was a folder a huge bulky folder and inside of that was two...files.
She looked at the first one:Bert Faliski...sounds familiar,and there was a picture of a man that looked exactly like Kyle.Kyle!Kyle's biological father. And the other file was of the 'masked murderer.
Hey!That was the murderer kids at school gossiped about. And there were some printed out files of murders and she saw a Kyle's handwriting পরবর্তি to them...there were even sticky notes. And on the back of one of the pages was a timeline of murders.The names of the people and other stuff.
And when Vastiste flipped it over again she read it:
>First murder mayhem started in 1982,victim was Leanna Doil,strangled(found on the street)no fingerprints.Murderer still out there!Possibly two people but probably one.<
And there was আরো similar noting like it. Plus there was a note...very disturbing signed from the Predator to the Prey.Vastiste had read it over and over again.Why didn't he tell her.These notes looked a few weeks old, she guessed he started this the first time he got the file.
Wait a minute...two files of bad jail worthy people. These were police files! A few days পূর্বে he went to the station. And before that he's been অভিনয় weird since that hang out at Tweety's house. He was always on the computer!
Vastiste put the files back in the folder and held it tightly as she walked down the stairs (really fast) and went to confront Kyle.
But she was too late. When she got to the living room she was just in time to see the front door close.
~In the woods~
"You know when I ব্যক্ত to get me out of the house I didn't mean the woods behind it!"I yelled trying to catch up with them.
"Your out of the house"Owen yelled
"I don't want to walk around"
"Come on Kyle enjoy the cool calm of nature"
So I did and দ্বারা the time I got tired I realized it was nightfall.
"What time is it"
"Nine somethin but don't worry no one's missing ya"
"Thanks mike that makes me feel much better"I ব্যক্ত sarcastically
"Your welcome"he ব্যক্ত cheerfully
We rested our tired legs at a lake and snacked on foods Tweety brought. Everything was calm until Tweety suddenly got up and chased something.And we had to chase her.
It felt like সেকেন্ড when we hit something solid.
"What was that"
"It's a ...house"
I rubbed my temples and looked Fable was right it was a house.
"How did we miss this"
"It was perfectly camouflaged anyone could have not known"
"Guys help I হারিয়ে গেছে my lucky bracelet"Tweety said
"Which one"
"The one with duckies and leaves and swans,it's স্বর্ণ and I always-"
"Wear it"Mike finished for her.
We all rummaged but got nowhere...until.
"Hey I found it"Tweety yelled she reached for it but when she held it it slipped through her fingers and fell through the gap in the window of the house.
Somehow Tweety managed to open it আরো and crawl through.
"Tweety"We all yelled as she disappeared and we followed her in.
