Adolescent Innocence 2: Evil Never Dies (3)
Loki

Rocky was in a subconscious state. His stab wounds were bad, but he was still holding on to life. " YAAAAAAAAAAA! " Rocky eyes flashed open to a loud scream coming from the house. That was April's voice, he thought. He had to go help. He struggled to his feet and stumbled back down. The pain was intense, but he kept going. When Rocky had reached the door, the pain seemed to take every ounce of his strength as he trudged into the house. CRAAAASH! Thumpbump! The noises from upstairs gave Rocky a silent scare. What if April was up there, getting killed right now? He thought gravely. The adrenaline pump gave Rocky a boost of energy, despite his fatal wound. He ran up the stairs two at a time and when he reached the top, he saw the attacker just breaking into her room. He saw April try to hit the person with a large book, but she missed. The attacker pulled the knife he used when stabbing Rocky on April and slashed her on the arm. She slid to the ground with a yelp. As he prepared to use the finishing blow, Rocky lunged into the room and grabbed the hand concealing the weapon. Rocky twisted the attackers hand and knocked the knife down the hall. Without all of his energy, Rocky was knocked around by the attacker's massive kick to his head. Rocky eased himself towards the knife and grasped it. All of his air suddenly rushed out of his lungs as the attacker jumped on his back. " April... RUN NOW! " Rocky said with his air gone. He saw stars before him. The attacker turned him over and slammed his head against the wall. BAM BAM BAM! Rocky took his time and slased his attacker in the face. A long jagged line of blood rippled along his face. " Ahhhhhhh! Shit! You fucker! " the attacker said, clutching his face. Rocky kicked as hard as he could and knocked the guy into the wall. He took the knife and stood up, preparing for the kill. As the attacker lay on the ground, a voice behind Rocky caught his attention. " No, no, no. " said the voice. Rocky looked just as a second attacker pushed him towards the wall! But there was no wall there and Rocky plummeted down the hard wooden stairs with maximum velocity. BOOM, BAM, CRAAAAAACK! THUMP, THUMP, THUMP! Rocky didn't even get a chance to see what was happening to him when his neck snapped due to the impact on the stairs. His broken body twitched violently once and then moved no more.

When Rocky was trying to deal with the killers, Tess maneuvered her way to the window. As she got there she saw Rocky slashing the attacker in the face. The person pulled off his hood and had blonde hair on the topmost part of his head. She opened the widow and jumped to the ground. WHUMP! When she landed she heard the two still fighting in the house. Tess knew she should get help. She ran towards the road, fighting the sub zero cold air. She was about 30 yards away from the house when...BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! A shock wave threw her into the ground. Flying debris landed on her and around her. When she turned around, what she saw killed all her hope of surviving. Her house, the McKinzie's home, had exploded. There was nothing but a ball of fire leaping toward the sky. " Oh my god NO! " she said through tears. No doubt Rocky was dead. She then got up on her fear shaken feet and ran as far as she could through the woods. No looking back, she was once again running away from a dangerous past.

I looked at the computer screen, wondering if anyone had emailed me lately. Maybe Cory wants to talk about why his attack group had failed, I thought. I had 1 new message from someone named DEATHTRIP. I opened it with a sense of fear, wondering what to expect. It said: GOOD JOB. WE WERE SURE THAT YOU WOULD DIE TODAY. YOU SEEM TO WANT TO BREAK THE RULES A BIT. WELL WE HAVE ALREADY SEALED YOUR PUNISHMENT. LOOK ON THE NEWS AT 8:00. DON'T FUCK WITH US ANYMORE OR IT WILL BE YOUR FAMILY. WHO WAS THAT GIRL ANYWAY? I THINK HER NAME IS MICHELLE. DON'T WORRY, SHE WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF SOON. Oh, my god, they were now going after Michelle. I had to go do something. As I ran from the house, a news bulletin came up. " A terrible thing has gone on in Kenton this evening. On 284 Oak Street, 15 year old Rocky McKinzie was found dead in his parents home. The house had also exploded, burning the house to a smoldering ash. The adoptive daughter, April, was said to be missing from the scene. " said the reporter. Oh no. Tess' stepbrother was dead and she was missing, probably dead! I had to go get Michelle and hide her, I thought as I ran back upstairs and packed my gun and shotgun in a gym bag and ran outside.

The figure watched as Lee ran towards some unknown destination. " Off again young Lee? " said the figure as he videotaped Lee running down the road with a bag.

CLATTER! Michelle jumped as the plate hit the floor. She was still shaken from her ordeal that day. Lee had turned from a weird kinda cute guy to a totally gone postal dude with a gun that afternoon. She had never been shot at before and now, she was going in nervous breakdowns when ever she was alone. She fell to the ground and sobbed." I can't take it anymore! I have to tell the police! " she screeched. " No, I'm sorry but I can't let you do that. " came a voice. She turned and stared as a figure dressed in black looked at her. She was about to scream but the figure punched her in the face. She dropped to the ground. The figure grabbed her by the hair and slung her into a glass tabletop. SCERASSSSH! She struggled for control but was grabbed by the neck and pushed into the wall. The figure leaded her into the bathroom, where Michelle was preparing for a bath, the water still running. He slammed her head down on the basin of the sink hard, making her skull start to bleed rapidly. She was then pushed under the water. " How do you like that bitch? HUH?! " the killer said. He turned the water from warm to hot. The water was starting to get hotter. Michelle struggled for air, but to no avail. It was harder to get air with the scolding water now making Michelle’s face start to turn a bright red. The water was a mixture of blood and water with her head still bleeding. Her strength started to leave her quickly and she moved slower. She was almost done for when...BAAAAAM! The attacker's hands loosened on Michelle's head and Michelle roared up for air. SPLASH! The attacker fell into the now scolding water. Blood was all over the walls. Michelle heaved for air and looked up. She saw Lee holding a smoking shot gun pointing where the attacker‘s head had just been. She then looked at the attacker and noticed a large hole in his head. She had been saved the second time in one day by a person who had suddenly turned mysterious.

We ran through the woods for most of the night. I was afraid to go home and also afraid that Michelle was going to tell the police, now that she had been attacked for the second time. She thanked me and said nothing more. I hated to get her caught up in something like this, but I couldn't let her tell the police. So everytime she threatened to go off and tell them about everything, I aimed my gun at her and bluffed that I would kill her if I had to. Then silence for the rest of the night. We walked all night and ended up at the edge of the woods around Kenton. At around 5:00 a.m. she finally spoke up. " You think that they know where we are? " she said quietly. I sighed, " Of course they don't know where we are. Who could tell them anyways? That guy is dead. " I said matter-of-factly. " She looked at me, " Back there, I'm glad you saved me and all but, it seemed like you killed with intrigue. Like you didn't care about getting caught. " she said. I was about to yell at her, but she was right. When I killed him, I didn't care about anything but the thrill of the kill. It was almost a sport to me. I know this sounds wicked but it is the truth. I looked at the ground. " In my whole life I have killed 4 people, and I haven't been caught. I guess it's the thrill of it all. After this I am going to need some serious councelling before I go on a killing spree. " I said with a low laugh. She didn't think it was funny at all. Just then, we heard a crack of tree branches. I jumped up looked around us. Then a cough. CHA-CLICK! " Who's there? " I said as I cocked the shotgun. " It's just me. " came a voice. Then to my surprise, a bloddy, battered Tess walked into our hideaway.

" Tess! Are you okay? " I said as I rushed towards her. She looked like she had been living in a mosh pit. She nodded, " Yeah, I'm alright. Just a little scared. Who's the chick? " she said cautiously. I introduced Tess and Michelle to each other. After a little while, they had gotten to know each other a good bit. They were together in their experiences, I thought. " We should get moving. We can back track about 10 miles through the woods and end up in Thomastown at about 9:00 a.m. We can spend the day at my house. But at night we will leave and go somewhere safe. " I said, not knowing where that safe place was. They agreed and we walked back to my hometown.

" What? You better find out how it fucking happened of I'm gonna kill you my self you bastard! " Cory yelled into the phone and slammed it. Cory was mad that one of his guys was found dead at that Michelle chick's house. Lee might've killed him, Cory thought convincingly. He will have his soon. Cory was a young boy of 15 years and was already rich. After he was sent to boot camp when he was 13 for attacking Lee's family, Cory was knocked up in the slammer. Literally. Crazed inmates beat him and tried to kill him there. When he was released, Cory was an even badder person than he used to be. He robbed at gunpoint for a while and even experimented with drugs. When he was caught by his parents, he was put out of the house. He didn't care, he now sold drugs and made almost $ 500 dollars a week. Fast cars, money, and bitches was his thrill. He and a couple of guys from a gang also ran a successful kill-for-hire business where they killed guys for money. Cory was surprised when Garret gave him a call on day. Cory had been told of everything that had happened in Portersville when he left. They had gotten a little rowdy down there and Garret wanted Cory and his boys to take care of Lee, now that he was disabled for life. What's in it for Cory? Almost $100,000 smack-a-roos. Cory had 5 people in his gang including him. That was almost $25,000 for each person. But now, one was dead and that only meant on thing for the gang. No sympathy for their fallen comrade, but a higher paycheck from Garret once Lee and his helpers were killed. Cory logged on to the internet to mail Lee a letter warning him of how soon he was going to kill him when he found a letter waiting for him instead. Yep, it was from Lee alright, he thought as he opened it and read it. It said: I HOPE YOU LIKE WHAT I DID TO YOUR GUY. LISTEN, THIS IS BETWEEN ME AND YOU. LEAVE THE TWO OUT OF THIS. THEY ARE GONE, DONE FOR. MEET ME TONIGHT AT HEITH'S HOUSE IN PORTERSVILLE. LAST STAGE CORY. JUST YOU AND ME. TONIGHT AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT. " That dumbass. He doesn't know anything about killing someone in perfection. I am going to come alright. But not alone and not without a plan. " Cory said to himself. Just then his friend Jayson walked in. Jayson was a 14 year old runaway, looking for escape and a thrill from his slow life upstate. Cory gave him that. Jayson had now made a transformation from a silent good boy to a killer with no remorse. He was tall and muscular, with blond hair at the top of his head. Lee saw him the other day after school. He was in the truck with another person from the gang when they tried to assassinate Lee only yesterday, but they failed. Jayson reprieved himself when he killed Rocky, even though he slashed him in the face. " Jayson, Lee is going down tonight. " said Cory with a laugh. " You ready to get paid my boy? " he said. Jayson smiled, " Yes. This Lee character, I don't know him but I promise you that I will see $$$ signs when he dies. " said Jayson. " Yeah, but he wants me to come alone and fight him to the finish. I'm not stupid like Garret so I'm going to bring all of you to help my kill him and his friends off. I've got a massive plan and you are a major part of it. Ok? " said Cory. Jayson nodded and opened his ears to Cory's devious plan.

Tess, Michelle, and I stayed around the house all day. Lee was the only one to know about him setting up a meeting with Cory tonight. As the two girls chatted away, I called for their attention. " Hey guys. I want you to listen up. " I said. They stopped and turned to me. " I have set up a meeting with Cory tonight. " They both looked shocked. " No, no. I have set it up alone with him. In Portersville. We are going to settle the score. " I said cautiously. " But what if he comes with his men? What are you going to do then? " said Tess. I looked at her, " I don't know. But I know that I will fight until I can't fight no more. " I grabbed a folder that I cherished more than my life itself. " Here's a folder containing all of the facts that should put Mr. Frosteg in jail and Garret in a hospitalized jail for the rest of their lives. " I said as I handed it to the girls. " You must protect this with you lives. If for some reason I don't come back, then turn this in to the police. If I am dead, then you guys have to promise me that you will tell the police that I am the Portersville murderer. Tess you must tell them that I killed your stepbrother and blew up your home. " I said with a heavy heart. They looked hysterical. " Lee, we can't do that to you! After all you have done for us, the least that we can do is help you. " Tess said. " What do you mean, come with me tonight? No, no. You guys are not going to get caught up with this anymore than you already are. If something goes wrong, we may end up in jail for the rest of our life. That can't happen. " I said demandingly. Michelle now stood up, " Lee you have saved my life 2 times in one day. I owe you my life and the next life. I am going to help you if you say so or not. " she said. Tess nodded. " Well...thanks then. We have to start preparing. I want you guys to gather all of the longest, sharpest knives in the house. I will get my dad's gun and load it. It's going to be a long, horrific night. " I said as I sprung into action.

That night I felt strangly calm, despite the odds. If you look at it, it was almost no way that we could win. There was 4 guys, probably loaded with guns and explosives and also cars. Who knows if Cory was bringing more. How did I know that I wasn't leading Michelle and Tess into sudden death? I thought gravely. I chose 12:00 midnight for a special reason. 4 months ago to the day, I had fought and defeated Garret at the construction site. Isn't kinda ironic how things happen? It was nearing that time as I checked my handgun and shotgun and prepared for the fight of my life, part 2.

Knock, knock, knock! Michelle looked around. There was someone at the door. Lee was in the attic, loading and checking the guns. Michelle had her own personal gun thanks to Lee's dad and Tess also had a gun. Tess was in the basement, looking for additional weapons. We had barricaded the windows with wood and now protected ourselves with our firearms. Michelle looked out of the peekhole at the person. They was dressed in regular clothes, had blonde hair on the top of their head, weirdly as it is, and they also had a long jagged scar on their face. Michelle said, " What do you want? " said Michelle. The person replied, " Hi, I am a friend of Lee's. I am here to help. " the person said. Michelle wasn't going to get tricked by some imposter that easily. " That isn't proof. You could be an enemy for all that I know. " she said. The person looked hurt. " I am not going to hurt you. I know you are Michelle and I know what kind of danger you are in. Now let me in before someone gets suspicious of a boy standing outside of a murder scene. " he said. Michelle was silent. " You don't want to blow the whole thing do you Michelle? Then let me in. " the person said softly. Michelle opened the door and let him in. " By the way, my name is Jayson. " the guy said. " Cool. We could really use some help here. " she said relaxed. She led Jayson to Tess in the basement. " Tess, look who's here to help us! " Michelle said cheerfully as she playfully shoved Jayson to the door. Tess looked like a ghost when she saw Jayson's face. She would never forget the face of the person who killed her stepbrother. " You stupid bitch! He is one of the killers! " screamed Tess as she grabbed a brick and ran towards Jayson. In one quick sucession, Jayson slammed Michelle's head against the wall hard and pushed her down the stairs. She toppled towards Tess, but she was ready. Tess dodged Michelle's falling body and prepared to go to work with the brick on his face. Jayson did nothing but smile as he pulled his gun from his pants. " Hehe. Tess, you don't know when to give up and just die. " he said as he took careful aim and shot Tess. BLAMBLAM! The force of the gun threw Tess backwards and she fell hard down the stairs until she hit the pavement of the basement. She didn't move or breath. Jayson smiled to himself as he pulled his walkie talkie out of his pocket. " Let's get ready to rumble. " he said to his awaiting comrades.

I was busy studying the guns when the pop of a gun scared the shit out of me. They're here, I thought as I grabbed the shot gun and put the handheld gun in the belt of my pants. I ran towards the exit of the attic to go fight. I pulled at the door. It didn't budge. Maybe these doors are old and they need an old fashioned heave, I thought. I heaved. No such luck. I had to hurry. I heaved with all my might but to no avail. I looked down and noticed that the door had suddenly been locked from the outside! Someone had locked it! I rushed to the window and looked out. 1 expensive looking Pathfinder stood in front of the house. Cory's here! I ran to the other side of the attic and looked out. No one around back. I used the butt of the gun to smash the window. SMASH! I crawled out and on the roof. I was about 2 stories up. I inched along the roof and neared another window. As I was just about to cross it, a hand suddenly shot out of the window! CRASH! The hand grabbed my neck. I tried to free myself, but the hand was too strong. I watched as the jagged window peaces cut the killer little by little. I started jumping up and down, making the peaces cut into the flesh of the killer. " OWWWWW.AHHHHHHH! " he screamed. When his hand freed from my neck, I smashed through the window and started to wrestle with the person. SMACK! Was the sound of my fist against his face. I grabbed my shotgun and got ready to pump him full of lead when he hit me hard in the chest. I still held the shotgun and he held another side of it. We wrestled for it and he threw me and the gun out of the window. CRASH! The remainding pieces of the window fell towards the ground. The shot gun clattered to the ground. The killer jumped on me and started hammering me into the shingles. I hoistered myself up and kicked him in the face. He fell closer to the edge. As I came nearer, he put his hand into the gutter and then threw some of the scummy water in my face. I could hardly squint my eyes as he rushed me into the roof. He was on top of me trying to choke me when my knees hit his groin. He slumped over. I took the advantage and grabbed a lose shingle and slapped him with it, WHACK! The shingle broke on his face. He fell towards the edge, but caught himself. " Time to take a dive. " I said as I ran full speed down the roof and pushed him off. As we fell, I grabbed the edge and hung on, my arms literally coming out of socket. CRUUUUUNCH! He wasn't so lucky, having fell on top of the pointy wooden fence. I fell to the ground and picked up the shotgun. I looked at my impaled, dead friend and ran away.
