ELODIE
Loud defining sound boomed outside, the house shook and he cup I held in my hands fell shuttering into pieces. My first thought was earthquake, I hid under the kitchen counter trying to keep myself safe. Another boom was heard on the outside and the house shook even more. Fear gripped me, my chest tightened.
Tension gathered on my shoulders and my stomach churned. “Oh, Ellie! Come out, come out wherever you are!” I froze, dear Lord, it wasn’t an earthquake but something worse. The devil himself has come for me. Did he hear , about me blaming his daughter for what he did and came for revenge?
Another booming sound was heard, screams and burning flush lingered in the air. My front windows were broken. I got out from under the table and rose. Burning flesh and smoke hit my nostrils. “Come on Ellie, you don’t want more innocent people to die, do you?” what the fuck was Luke doing?
I could hear sirens from a distance, they should have given me a sense of relief but they brought dread to me. they didn’t know what they were dealing with. I wished they turned back and ignored the commotion happening on this side of town. Knowing Luke, things were going to get a lot worse before they got better.
I opened my front door, which was not necessary since the whole glass on the side was shuttered and I could walk right out if I wanted to without opening the door. Force of habit, I guess. “There you are!” he laughed like a crazy person that he was.
“What are you doing Luke?” I looked around in horror, neighbour’s houses on fire, people running on the streets getting into their cars and hitting each other as they tried to escape the horror. “I am getting your attention, since I didn’t get it the last time.” He walked towards me slowly
Death filled his eyes; he should have been named the angel of death not Luke. Luke was good in the bible. I think.” I want your son here, Ellie, he needs to answer for his sins. Get him here.” Before I could respond a car stopped in my driveway.
One of his men got out and went to open the back door and dragged Faren out. What the fuck did she do now? I wondered. “He and this bitch are going to know who I am today. It’s clear it was not enough that I killed their father that they want to follow him so soon.”
Oh, Lord, what the hell did Nick do this time. “I don’t see you moving Ellie, or do you want to see how serious I am about this.” I looked around at the damage to the infrastructure and people’s houses and wondered how serious he needed it to be.
“Bring her here.” The man dragged Faren forward. She was crying and begging. I told her to get away from Luke. I warned her that something like this might happen. Clearly, she didn’t listen. I took out my phone and dialled Nick. Of course, he didn’t pick up, he said I was dead to him and wants nothing to do with me.
How the hell was I supposed to stop Luke? “Make it quick, Ellie.” I scoffed. “Why would I bring my son here? So that
you could kill him? I don’t think so.” He laughed then pulled a knife out of his pocket then placed it Faren’s neck. She cried even louder. I felt for her, I really did. But there was nothing I could do for her.
‘She is not my daughter Luke, she means nothing to me.” he gave me that devilish smirk of his, one I knew all too well. He was going to…my mind went blank, as I watched Luke slice her throat. Blood spilled from her neck; her hands flew to the wound trying to stop the bleeding. Eyes wide and frantic. But it didn’t even take two minutes for her to fall to the ground.
“That is what I am going to do to your son if he doesn’t stop hurting my daughter. Today, it’s your stepdaughter and neighbours and tomorrow, it will be your son.” It was like I was having an out of body experience. I was looking at Faren on the ground.

Her eyes stared at me; she was no longer struggling. She locked to be at peace. I lifted my head and looked at Luke. “Are you not satisfied with killing my husband and my father. How many people must die before you stop?”
“What is going on here?” my heart stopped for a second. Why the hell was he there, no, no! Luke laughed. ” Nephew, good you are here. Your mother was just asking me how many people must die before I stop. Why don’t you answer that question, how many people do I have to kill for you to stop hurting my daughter?”
