Since we’ve been busy for the past few days, I hadn’t been keeping up with the news. There was no internet here, and I had no actual device to search it up on. Micah did have a phone, but it was on him at all times, making it impossible for me to steal it even for a moment.
I found a random horror movie, and since it was already somewhere in the middle, I didn’t pay too much attention to it, but it was a good enough distraction from my thoughts. My mind was my worst enemy, and I couldn’t get rid of it.
Somehow, I managed to fall asleep, ignoring the demons that tried to break my mind into pieces.
It felt like I’d been sleeping for years, and I only woke up because I turned in my sleep, knocking the plate off my stomach. It fell to the tiled floor and shattered into pieces, causing me to sit up straight.
I sighed out in relief at the sight of ceramic pieces scattered next to my feet. With a yawn and a slight stretch, I bent down and picked up all the big pieces, mentally noting to bring a broom to get rid of the smaller shards.
I glanced around, seeing that there’s still no sight of Micah. What the fuck was he doing all this time in the garage?
His car was not in front of the cabin. He probably moved it to the garage at the back while I was asleep. But what caught me by surprise was how dark it was outside. It was definitely after seven in the evening.
So it wasn’t a nap, it was hibernation.
As soon as I was done with cleaning up the mess I created, I went throughout the house, searching for Micah. I was being careful not to wake him up, in case he was sleeping; however, I couldn’t find him anywhere.
The blizzard came to an end. The snow had gotten softer, and it was easier for me to grab this opportunity and escape. But he wasn’t that stupid, so he must’ve set up a trap or two for me, knowing that I would definitely try it again.
It’s not like I actually wanted to escape, but I had to.
It was way too selfish of me to indulge in this fantasy, to enjoy my time with him, while my family and Sierra must have been be worried sick about me. Hurting the people I loved was what I hated the most, and the pain they must have been going through was unimaginable.
I stopped dead in my tracks when I heard noises coming from outside.
With narrowed eyes, I slowly approached the front door.
On each side of the door was a big window, wide and going from the ceiling to the floor. It was covered with thick curtains for privacy. It seemed that whoever bought the cabin off my father hadn’t washed the curtains since they were filled with dust.
I coughed and lightly removed it to the side, peeking out to see what was happening.
And then, my heart sank to my feet.
Outside, a couple of feet from the stairs that led to the porch area, was Micah. He wore a pair of black sweatpants with a shirt of the same color. His back was turned to me, but it didn’t take me long to see what he was holding in his hands.
He had a gun, aimed and ready to fire.
In front of him were two police officers.
Their voices were loud, telling Micah to surrender, ordering him to lower his weapon, threatening to kill him if he didn’t comply. Micah’s response was a deep, terrifying laugh that made my blood run cold.
He wasn’t going to back down.
And he didn’t.
Time seemed to stop, or at least it was in slow motion.
Micah briefly glanced back, as if he could sense me watching him. And he gave me the biggest, most wicked grin. He turned around just as quickly and fired.
Gunshots echoed in my ears. I was frozen in my spot, unable to move, breathe or think. It was as if my mind didn’t want to believe that this was the truth.
Mainly, this was making the situation far worse for him. If two police officers were here, it was only a matter of time before the rest came. And I had no doubts that Jack and his sons were discovered at the gas station.
Our ending was near, and I couldn’t bring myself to believe in that.
Both cops fell to the ground, and Micah wasted no time. He rushed toward both of them, removing their weapons. One of them seemed to tell him something which ticked him off, and to make sure he was dead, Micah shot him right between his eyes.
The bullet hole was small, but blood oozed out of it. His eyes were widened, frozen in fear as life drained out of his body.
