us.”
“I think we should stop hiding and
face them. There has to be a way out of this and if it means that we have to
kill them...then I think it’s all right.” Melissa said through gritted teeth.
“You can’t kill demons.” Keith said
and opened a door which Melissa thought was just a supply room. She came up
behind Keith and saw a staircase leading upstairs.
“They got you too, huh?” Melissa
said and pulled out another table cloth. It was getting colder somehow and her
limbs ached. She heard the small vase shatter on the floor and jumped. What she
really wanted to do was throw the tables all over and go on a rampage. Apart
from the fact that it would help her vent out her anger, the action would also
generate enough heat in her body to warm her.
“Can’t you just shut up?” Keith
asked angrily. Melissa stepped back.“We’re in big trouble here. If they catch
us, they’ll turn us into one of them!”
Before Melissa could stop herself,
her hand slapped Keith right across his face.
She saw the look of surprise on
Keith’s face and imagined herself being beaten into a pulp by Keith. He was
taller than her and his arms were thick and muscular. Considering what happened
a few minutes ago, Keith didn’t seem like the person who would think twice
before hitting anyone. Keith was way too aggressive and impulsive for him to
see reason.
“I...”Melissa started to say. “You
need to snap out of it. “They’re not demons. It’s all a hoax to terrorize the
people in the city. I don’t know what ulterior motive they could possibly
have...”
Keith ignored her and walked up the
stairs. Melissa tapped on the door and then followed him reluctantly. After
climbing fifty stairs, Keith opened up the door in front of him and Melissa
felt a wave of cold air blanket her.
“There’s a terrace?” she asked.
“Here’s the plan.” Keith said
quietly. “If we take a run and jump, there’s a possibility that we might make
it over the fence. Or at best, we might be able to grab the top of it and haul
ourselves over.”
Melissa looked at him in the dim
light and realized he was being reckless. She looked down at where she was
standing and then all the way towards the ledge. There was a small gap between
the building and the fence, but it was still a pretty risky stunt.
“That’s a terrible idea. We could
break all our bones!”
Keith let out an irritated sigh and
switched off his flashlight. “Broken bones will mend, but if they catch hold of
us, they’ll kill us.”
“It’s an absurd idea.” Melissa
said, but in her head if she wondered if it was probably not such a bad idea.
If they were able to get over it, they could run and get help from...
No one. Melissa scratched her head
in frustration. If anyone saw them outside the fence, they might throw them
back in. And once they were inside, they wouldn’t even have a chance to run
because jumping from such a height was bound to break their legs. She stared
down and wondered why she couldn’t hear anything from the other side of the
street. She couldn’t see any lights, no screams no nothing. Where had Jennifer
disappeared and where were the riders? Why weren’t they looking for her and
killing her?
Melissa swallowed. She was really
starting to lose it if she was actually wondering why the riders hadn’t killed
her yet. The faster she got out of this place, the better it would be for her
mental state.
“I think I can do this.” Keith said
with determination. “It’s our only chance to escape from those fiends.”
“We can make weapons.” Melissa said
quickly. “So what if they’re on motorcycles? We can find a way to cut their
brake lines or something.”
Keith shone the flashlight on her
face and she shielded her eyes immediately.
“Are you crazy?” Keith asked angrily.
“They’re not the enemy here.”
