TRUTH AND LIES
(Prom night)
I really do love her
Episode 38
“Is there something wrong?” I heard ask on the phone, but she wasn’t referring to me.
“Who are you talking to?” I asked.
“It’s the driver. I don’t know, he…He just stopped the car.
Okay, this is getting weird.
“Alyssa, where are you?”I asked
‘I think we’re somewhere around Halloween’s way…..Arggggh!”
She suddenly screened and the line dropped.
What?
“Alyssa? Alyssa? What’s happening? Alyssa? ” I called in fear but the call had already ended.
Jesus Christ!
What the hell is going on?
Alyssa’s Pov:
What the hell is happening?
I was talking to Nigel on the phone when the car suddenly stopped and before I could understand ask the driver what was happening, he brought out a gun and pointed it at me.
I screamed and my phone fell from my hands in shock.
The driver grinned at me.
What have I gotten myself into?
Who’s this?
“Say your last prayer, Alyssa” he Told me and my eyes widened.
“Wh…what have I done? Please don’t hurt me” I said with fear and he sniggered.
Who is he?
His hands were on the trigger and gathering up courage I’d use for five years, I hit him hard on the hand and the gun fell and I jumped out of the car immediately, soaked with fear.
I looked left and right; the whole street was very dry and quiet.
The man came out of the car immediately and started running out of me.
“Hey, you!” He called.
He was still holding the gun and he fired at me, but luckily it missed.
I screamed and took a corner.
I couldn’t continue running straight in the open.
I needed to hide.
I kept running as he kept chasing me endlessly and I was now breathing heavily.
He fired at me again but it missed and I almost stumbled.
Why the hell is he after me?
I luckily found a small room that looked like an abandoned store and I pushed the rusty door open and ran in.
I found a table in and used it to block the door.
I looked for other things to weigh the door with so it would be difficult to open from the outside.
I was panting heavily and hoped the strange man wouldn’t be able to get in.
The store room was very small and dirty and there was no place to even hide.
I just squatted on the floor so I wouldn’t be spotted at the small dirty window in the room.
Shortly, I felt his presence.
He came to the door and hit it but it didn’t open.
Oh, God!
Help me.
I don’t think I’m breathing anymore.
My heart was thumping very fast.
“Alyssa!” He shouted.
“I know you’re in there. Open this door immediately!”
He hit the door and shook it vigorously but it still didn’t open.
God, please.
What if he succeeds?
I need to get some help.
But, how?
My phone was in the car and the whole street was locked.
What do I do?
But who’s this man and why is he after me?
Why does he want to kill me?
Just then; he started firing gunshots through the window and I shut my eyes and ears in fear.
Tears were building up in my eyes.
Please, someone help me
Then he stopped firing and I didn’t hear from him for some time.
I remained on the floor, holding my chest.
Where was he?
Is it possible he left?
I was so scared.
After some time, I heard some liquid pouring sounds from outside and I wondered what was going on.
Then, I heard some sounds around the door.
Then, a liquid started pouring in from the small window and I looked at the liquid and…God, no.
It was petrol!
Holy Chris!
What is he trying to do?
Immediately, I felt a yellow light outside and fear wouldn’t let me stand up to take a look.
Please, this should be a dream.
Then he threw a lighter in and boom!
There was fire outbreak in the room.
I sprang on my feet as I watched the fire spread rapidly in the congested room.
Oh, God; this should not happen.
I looked through the small window and the man who still there, also staring at me now.
It seems he’s trying to lure me out.
Soon, I started coughing as the smoke was becoming unbearable for me.
I coughed and coughed and my eyes began to itch.
The fire was drawing near.
No. I can’t take this anymore.
I might just die in here.
I ran to the door, still coughing and started removing the loads I leaned on the door.
I managed to remove them and then I tried opening the door, but…what?
It wouldn’t open.
I tried and tried but still it wouldn’t open.
Oh, no.
He’s not trying to lure me out; he’s trying to burn me alive.
The smoke was now unbearable for me and the fire was almost burning down the entire room.
I tottered back to the window and saw the man’s car driving away.
“Help! Somebody help!” I cried faintly and fell on the floor.
I was now finding it difficult to breathe as I was choking.
Oh, God; is this how I’m going to die?
All alone in a fire in an unknown place?
Is this my fate?
But my family;
My mum
Maja
Jake; although we always argue, but I do love him.
And even my dad.
Although, he left us, but I had always dreamt of getting to meet him someday.
Oh, Nigel.
I can’t believe I’m going to die without getting to say goodbye to him.
He was really such a great friend and all the times I had spent with him were one of the best moments of my life.
Why does life have to be this unfair to me?
Whoever is behind this, I hope he or she doesn’t have peace for the rest of his life.
Everywhere became blur to me and my breath became still.
My eyes finally closed and darkness clouded me.
Mico’s Pov:
I drove on a crazy speed and stopped at Halloween street.
I didn’t even turn off the ignition of the car as I just upended the car and ran out.
I had changed my clothesclothes and wasn’t with my mask.
I looked around and the whole street was calm and quiet.
Where could Alyssa be?
I started wondering around and noticed a fire light.
I ran to the direction of the fire and discovered it was a little store that was getting burnt.
Geez;
It looked pretty bad.
But why is there a fire?
“Alyssa!” I called, wondering if she might be around.
But I didn’t get any reply.
But why is there a fire?
I got to the door and noticed it was locked with an iron.
I looked for a stick and started hitting it with it and after a short while, It opened.
I walked in and started coughing immediately.
The whole place was falling and smoke was covering my sight.
What am I doing here?
I was about turning around to leave when a noticed a figure lying lifelessly on the floor.
Who was that?
I struggled to get to where the figure was and…Holy shit!
It’s Alyssa!
What’s the meaning of this?
“Alyssa!” I called in shock and dropped to a crouch beside her body.
What happened to her?
Who did this?
I touched her face and she was very unconscious.
Her condition was frightening.
“Alyssa!” I called again and took her up in arms, running out with her immediately.
My heart was beating rapidly.
What happened here?
How did she end up in here?
God, please save her.
“Alyssa! Stay with me. Alyssa” I kept calling in panick as I approached the car.
I opened the door of the back seat and laid her there and I returned to the driver’s seat afterwards.
I tried turning on the ignition immediately; but the car refused to start.
God, please; not now.
I tried and tried but it still didn’t produce a different result.
No!
I came out and ran to the back seat, bringing Alyssa out again and laying her on the floor.
I took out water from the car and ran yo het body.
“Alyssa, please stay with me” I said fraily as I sprinkled the water on her face but she didn’t respond.
