Mommy's Sweet Sweet Revenge
Chapter 8: Running and Running
The knocks on the door get louder..
I hear some more hard knocks on the door.
I slowly roll off the couch and crawl towards the window. "Shoot!" There's police cars covering the street.
I hear an officer yell something through the door. I see the locks on the door start to shake as the knocks turn into kicks. I take a deep breath and run up the stairs.
"Declan! Wake the up!" I jump on him and shake him fast.
"Need a diaper chang-" He goes to laugh when I pull him off the bed. "Screw you! Cops are here!" His face drops and he slips on his shoes.
We start making our way down the stairs and out the back door. We bolt. We hear footsteps and I run faster,
"LANDON RUN!"
I hear Declan scream behind me.
"Declan!" I can see him being tackled and handcuffed from the corner of my eye.
I jump the fence and head to the woods. Lucky for me Declan lives right behind an abandoned playground. It's all tall grass, over grown trees and vines. We used to practically live here when we were kids.

I run through broken branches and feel my legs getting cut up by thorns, I hide inside a broken tree trunk to catch my breath. I close my eyes and hope it's a dream. I got to go back and help Dec, but how? I hear the crunching of old leaves and branches in a distant. No. They really followed me in here?
I'm just trying to go home, I'm not some murderer. I close my eyes tight when I hear the footsteps getting closer. it
