Now jack stands still for about 20 minutes straight. The figmented pain in his head, though worsethat before, didn't seem to bother him as much as the fact that he just died a couple of times and he can still remember everything. this isn't a hallucination. He stood still without moving and inch.Finally, he had clearly understood that running away didn't do any good. Nor dI'd calling anyone forhelp. Though he had only called the cops the last time, this kind of pain doesn't really motivate youto make any other tries. The only thing that kept him from panicking was the idea that he could getout of this situation. If running won't work then moving forward might. After all it resulted in thelongest he had lasted. He walks straight to his car. A part of him wanted to try to help the girl, buthe was too scared of making a mistake. That pain was traumatic. His car parks at the exact spot of last time. Can't afford any mistakes. Maybe if everything happenedexactly as before, he could find a way out of this without dying.... Again. He walks to the window ofthe house. the glow on the curtain still shows that the room on the other side is lit. he knows that leviis on the other side of that window so he snuck to the backyard to find a way through. Luckily, hefinds that back door open. He carefully makes his way through the door, walks straight to innercorner of the door in front of him. He has his gun in hand in case he needs to use it. the entire houseis quiet. He can't hear a single thing. He makes his way into the interior of the house, hiding behindevery corner he could find in front or beside him, praying he finds a Jenkriz before they find him.Most of the lights are turned off, but its not so dark that you can't see anything. As he approachesthe dim lit kitchen, he notices a brighter light reflecting from outside the kitchen door. He walkscloser to the door and he can then hear voices coming from the lit reflection. He slowly sticks hishear passed the door and spots them. he can clearly recall their faces. Jimmy, noah, and jose. Theyare in a moderately spacious room, well lit with a small round dinner table in the middle. The chairshowever don't souround the table. Rather they are all at one edge curve of the table, giving a clearview to the football game they were watching. They all laughed together and shouted angrily depending on how the game was going. Noah had the same usual deadening and crooked laugh. Still couldn't manage more than threestrains of sound before he looks like he's lost his breath. Jack tightens his grip on the gun in his hands as andrenaline pumps through his vein. He stops hiding, but barely. He walks straight tothem. the moment the light in the room uncovers a man with a gun in his hand walking into theroom, all forms of laughter and talk seize. He had caught them by surprise. He lifted up the gun...seeing their faces made start to regain his anger. Start to remember. His voice was soft but piercedthrough the room. Jack: do yall remember me? I guess not. Jimmy: who are you? (he attempts to get up)Jack: don't you dare move a muscle. His grip on the gun gets tighterJimmy: (sits back down). Who are youJack: I'm the father of the little girl you killed. I'm the father of the little girl you killed. I'm the father ofthe little girl you all killed. And I'm gonna make sure you pay for what you've done.Noah: you're the uhh uh HA... HAA. HAAA.... (empty strain). Well goddam. That little gal? ohh my.The nonchalant and even enthusiastic expressions in the face of each and everyone of thesemonsters gave jack a scare. The last thing you want is a monster realizing you are prey. But jackhadn't realized that sooner. No... he had already made the mistake of flinching in scare the momentnoah laughed. Not only dI'd he flinch, he took an instinctive step backward. And they noticed it. theyall noticed it. in barely seconds, they all got up one after the other. Jack took another two stepsbackward. He was about to run and they all knew it. they sensed it.Jose: ohhhh looks like we don got ourselves a rabbit. (laughs histerically). "run rabbit, run". Just as jack was about to make a run for it, he had already turned his back, everything paused orslowed down in his head. At that very split moment, it was like he saw her standing right infront ofhim. He jerked back toward the monsters like he had seen an even greater monster in front of him.Accordingly, jimmy, noah and jose stopped on their tracks. Confused at why the rabbit stoppedrunning. There she stood. Right in front of him. His baby girl. All bloodied and battered. All brokenand beat. Though she wasn't there, she stood there. Just right infront of him. Wearing the pink shoes he had gotten for her, her last birthday. Jack got up slowly and walked toward his little babygirl. "aww my little teddy bear. Where have you been?.... ohh my little teddy bear. Why dI'd youleave?" Jack turns back to face them. they saw... I swear they could see it. anybody would. Everybodycould. The expressionless face, the dim eyes, the tears running down his eyes. The calm grip on hisgun that meant sudden death for anyone who even as much as flinched. All of a sudden, jack hadthe calmest voice in the room. go back to your seats. they didn't wait for him to repeat himself. Youknow that stage when even monsters who are scared of death are scared of you? yes. Thatmoment.Jack: You know, she seemed like a nice little girl herself. Your sister I mean. What was her nameagain? Who cares. Clear blue eyes, you could almost see it through the darkness. She was funnyand smart. And her smile, like an angel. Aria. Yeah now I remember. wore some stuck off jacket witha G.B sign at the back.Jimmy: oh so you've seen our sister. So what?Jack: dI'd you love her?Jimmy: what?Jack: dI'd you love her, jimmy?Jimmy: love? Well I guess that's an understatement. (chuckles)Noah: we need her. about the only good thing that don happen to this shitty jenkriz name indecades. Now we didn't grow up right. I know that. we know that. shit... she got ahead of us though.Worked up some real shit. Moved out and don some good for herself. Now I know what we don did.Hell we do it all the time. I can't say I feel bad cause I know i'm messed up. Yeah.... And they aint noturning back from that. we don love that girl from the bottom of this dark tunnel of a heart and sickmind we got. (pause) Ohh you didn't think we could understand what we don? Ohh I do. All monsters look twisted and all, and it looks like we don't understand anything apart from evil, but wedo. It just gets you. I mean the... th... the urge. Like your head goes on auto pilot. Its like you areyourself, but you aren't. like you can think properly, but any part of your brain that says not to do it just gets foggy. And just like that, you see yourself doing it. and after you don do you it, you get hitwith this exteme guilt and regret. Run down toward depression faster than an F-16 fighter jet. But atthe same time, it feels so goddam good. You know what that does to your head? When you can'teven tell if yiu hate what you do or love it. so you can never get rI'd of it. so you try to hate it, andthat leads to depression. So whats left is for you to love it and then it all doesn't seem so bad. Soyou tell yourself its who you are. Just so you can sleep at night. just so you can keep movingfarward. And then there comes the people who don't understand. The ones who are mentallyhealthy. Does ones come to judge. To prosecute. To blame. To try to fix you when they don'tunderstand the first thing about what you feel or what you are going through. You know what, fuckall that. I don't need anyone to understand. I get that's the burden of a monster. A monster like me.Like us.Jose: but at least we got our baby sister. Ohh she's more of a monster than we are (laughs a bit). Abetter monster than us. She doesn't have urges. She doesn't have flaws like we do. Us monsters,we dI'd our best to keep her from most of the fucked up shit we went through. And she got moreaggressive (laughs) like a little cat. Telling us what to do. She loows so cute when she's mad(laughs). Our little monster. She don made something for herself now. Noah: I feel bad for you man. But you can't get to our baby sister that easy. She's one slippery girl. Ifeel sorry for you but if you think we'll sit back and watch you try to go after our sister, you're wrong.Cause you aint leaving this house.Jack: she's dead. I bashed her head against a brick. How'd yall think I got here. I took her addressfrom her wallet. she works at a restaurant not so far from here. Dumb little girl. That's just too bad.Its your fault she had to die that way.The room is so silent. Jimmy was stuck in time. They were all stuck. Noah's facial expression waslike the nail in the bud. In instance, the room felt so cold. wait.... For the first time in history. For the really first time in history, monsters, real monsters lost their might. Jose let off a loud cry. He rushedtoward the still calm jack who didn't hesitate to shoot him dead right where he stood. A straight shotto the head. Jacks nonchalance gave him an outstanding accuracy. The rest brothers jerked backward. Then a calm jack instantly lost his cool in the split of a second. IS THIS IT???? IS THIS IT????IS THIS WHAT YOU MONSTERS WANTED?? IS THIS WHAT I DESERVED??DO YOU REALLY NOT CARE ABOUT ANYONE BUT YOURSELVESSS? IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED?? (starts crying) IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED!!! IS THIS-IS TH-IS THIS WHAT YOU DESERVE?The lights of the room became brighter. So bright that he then realized the house current had beengetting too high from the beginning. That's what they hadn't noticed earlier because of the footballgame they were watching. That's why jack could notice its reflection from the kitchen. in that samemoment as jack had lost his control and screamed, the bulb started to make a sparking sound.Somehow, everyone in the room knew what was about to happen. They looked at the bulb, and thenat each other.(SPARK, SPARK, BOOM). The bulb went off.Jack let off two shots toward the dark as he heard hard footsteps rushing toward. Him. He made aninstant run for the kitchen through the dark. Right before he slams the kitchen door, a hand grabshim from behind in the dark. The other footstep less than 5 foot away, he pushed back against theone holding his arm with all his strength. His gun fell to the other side of the door and he couldn'tpick it up. He quickly shut the door and locked it. but before he could make a run for the backyard, a shot went off from behind the door and straight through, into his lower thigh. Jack didn't even havetime to shout. He tried to make a leap for the door. He could get to his car before they made it to thefront yard. he quickly leaped passed the kitchen and toward the back door. As he came out the backdoor, he spotted a shadowy human figure less than 7 feet away who was running toward himalready. The instant shock made him slam the back door as well, and lock it. the figure had alreadygotten to the door but stopped and stood still for a second after noticing jack. That was the split second he used to shut the door.What the fuck?? No way jimmy or noah made it there that fast. In fact, they were still hitting thekitchen door trying to break it down. Levi is still obviously too stoned to make a move like that. Sowho the fuck was that? jack then realized he had left out a brother. Yes... Sebastian. Sebastian fucking jenkriz.
