'Suzanne, kill me!,' i cried.

She turned around and started coming closer to me.

How can i die? They put Jason into coma and now they are going to kill my family. I imagined the news of our death published in tomorrow's newspaper!

These Curtis will go on killing whoever comes to stay here after us. Someone ought to end this. I'm the one who is going to end their game!

But how?

Sweat rolled down my forehead as Suzanne neared me.

Think.Think.

'You killed the Brinton's family and the couple, right?,' I yelled.

They all looked at me in confusion.

'You didn't allow anyone to stay here after what Farouk and Karboun did to you.' I tried my best to extend the time for my survival.


FAROUK AND KARBOUN! DON'T MENTION THESE NAMES AGAIN!,' screamed Suzanne.

'i read your diary. I know how you would have felt.'

She stopped midway.

'Mrs.Curtis, I know about your affair too.'

Mr.Curtis stared at her with a big question mark on his face. I had managed to distract them. I kicked Williams who uttered an angry cry and leaped across the enormous room towards the door.

'Catch her,' ordered Mrs.Curtis.

A pair of hands grabbed me from behind and pulled me back hardly.

'Leave me! Leave!,' i cried, struggling to break free.

Suzanne gave me a blow in my stomach and i groaned in pain.

'Don't try to fool us,' yelled Williams. 'LET'S FINISH HER!'

'NOOOO!,' i cried and closed my eyes.


'Father, help me!,' i said in my mind.

I heard a voice.....my father's voice...not close....not far....crystal clear! It was as if i was carried to some other dimension which felt different from this planet.

'Kat, you can solve this,' he said.

'Dad! Can you hear me? where are you?,' i asked shocked.

'i'm right here.'

I looked around  searching for a thin figure but i couldn't find him.

'I know you have a solution to this problem.'

'No, i don't.'

'It's a crime but that's the only way out.'

'What do you mean?'

Silence.

'Dad! Dad!'

He was gone. Then an idea clicked in my mind. I nearly froze. I understood what my father wanted to convey me. I knew how to get rid of the Curtis!

When i opened my eyes, pain shot through my body. I cradled my right arm which had the fresh cut of the knife that now Suzanne was aiming towards my stomach! 

'God, guide through the pathways of life. You are beneficent, merciful;

Forgive me as i confess my sin;

I have faith in you;direct me; protect me;


They roared with laughter.

'Stupid girl! No one can save you,' said Williams.

Suddenly there was a loud noise from upstairs which distracted them for a second. I took advantage of it and dashed to the door.

'WAIT!'

It was too late for them to catch me now. I was already a metre away from the house. Neither could they step outside the house nor they could harm me.

'Come back!,' yelled Mrs.Curtis. 'Your family will die.'

I had no jacket. I was shivering badly. I started running. I still hear Mrs.Curtis shouting but i didn't look back. I slipped and slided but never stopped to catch my breath.

Suddenly the old man and Tommy appeared in front of me out of nowhere.  they were ghosts, floating in the air.

I died because of you,' said the old man.

'NOOOOOO!,' i screamed.

'Woof!,' yapped Tommy.

'Go away!,' i shouted, still running.

They tried all kinds of tricks to block my way but nothing was going to stop me. They were quickly eating up the area between us. I was scared for my life. My heart was pounding so fast that i felt it would leap out anytime. i couldn't die yet, i had one last thing to do! 

My legs hurt but i couldn't stop. I fell  every leap i made. But finally i reached my destination. I had made it to the hospital!

'Hello!,' i called.

It seemed as if the hospital was empty...as if everyone had gone to attend the big sale in the town.

I called again and no one replied. I started searching for the room where i had met Farouk. I was breathing heavily. Not a single soul was to be seen.

I found it. Room 306.

I pushed the door and dashed in.My hands were shaking badly. Farouk was lying on the bed-fast asleep. I stood staring at him for a long time before making my move. On the table, there were some medicines, a glass of water and a basket of fruits. My eyes were fixed on the cloth lying beside the basket.

I grabbed the cloth and wrapped it around my hand. Tears started rolling down my cheeks. I slowly proceeded to remove the oxygen mask from his nostrils! 

'You have to die,' I muttered. 'The Curtis want their revenge. If you die-they will be at peace!'

He was calm for a second. Then his eyes opened wide and his body started shaking crazily. His chest was heaving up and down-gasping for air. I closed my eyes tightly. I couldn't see this. After few seconds, the shaking stopped.

He was dead!

I killed Farouk whom the Curtis wished to kill from so many years! Now they can stop haunting the house and rest in peace!.I was proud that i had saved my family by turning into a cold-blooded murderer!

I dropped to my knees, wailing

'NOOOOOOOOO................!'
