Chapter 6: I guess you could call it natural reaction… or stubborn bitchiness.

I looked at the man who looked eerily similar.

“Hello Aubrey, or should I call you Ella,” he said.

I swallowed. How the hell did he know my name? My REAL name.

“Ella?”Kelsey asked.

“Oh, yes Kelsey my dear your friends real name is Ella didn’t she tell you? I bet she hasn’t told you a lot of things.

I growled. A low sound that was deep and menacing.

“But Ella my dear do you remember me?” he asked.

I thought. I thought REALLY hard but I was drawing a blank.

“You don’t remember, do you? Humph. Tsk, well that’s no fun. Well maybe you will remember this,” he said lifting up his shirt to reveal huge claw marks.

I sucked in my breath.

I knew exactly who this was.

FLASHBACK

(it’s the part from the prologue except the full part of what happened when she ran out)

Then I let my eyes close and I drifted off each second getting more tired than the first. I was at the brink of sleep when all of a sudden I smelled a smell a familiar one my cloudy confused brain couldn’t figure it out until someone screamed.

“FIRE!!!!!”

My head shot upright almost giving me whiplash. I turned my head toward where the screaming was coming from, but now it was all around me with my kindergarten class screaming and shrieking in terror.

I looked around trying to find the door but I couldn’t the smoke was engulfing us, I could hear kids coughing between screams for help.

I reached for the door and my hand closed over something, the handle!!!

I turned it ran out of the classroom down the hall. The all of a sudden I fell down something hurt really badly. I bent down and I heard cracking. I started screaming. I was terrified. What is happening to me? Where is Mommy? A man with a gun suddenly burt through the doors and yelled to someone what sounded like, “She’s over here!” Another man then came in, “What do you want me to do boss,” the guy with the gun asked.
