Dead Man's Honor by rae Kennard, Sierra Mcnamara (best historical fiction books of all time .TXT) 📖

“Mom. . . I can't do this anymore.” I say sobbing.

    “Grow up you little twit!  You should be happy that he finally left you for someone that's pretty and intelligent!” She snaps and I flinch.  She laughs and leaves the room. I crouch into my corner and grab the rope.

*RING *RING*  I check my phone.

    Sara I’m sorry but we have to break up. The rumors you heard are true leave me alone now ~Seth

I almost drop my phone, but right after my sister calls.  I sigh.

    “Hel. . . Hello?”  I ask. No reply.

    “Hello?” I asked again annoyed.  Deep breaths make contact through the phone.

    “This is not your sister, Mia, Sara listen closely if you want to live turn yourself in.  Your sister is being held captive, and we’re watching you closely! This is your warning. Don't ever think we are not watching you.”  he says with venom in his voice. All the color in my face leaves and its hard to breathe. The phone dies as i drop it. I get up, and slowly glance out the window there is a man in all black standing across the street watching. . . watching me. . . I pull away from the window frightened and begin to do my bad habit of pacing.

    “Sara.” Its barely a whisper but i still heard it, I peek around the room but no one seems to be there with me.

“Run! Sara, now meet me at the bar here in town!” i hear the voice again. Its a male voice.  I rush to put on my shoes and sweatshirt. I look into the mirror and look at my face. I look like Avril Lavigne. . . well hair wise but other than that i look ordinary.

“Lets go.” i say to myself before i leave.

I see Sara walk out of her house and down the street.  I run after her as I try to blend in with her surroundings.

    “Who’s there!?” she yells her voice shaking.  She keeps turning around. She grabs her head in her hands and falls down to her knees.

“She should be here any moment!” I say to Jackson, who is my little gopher.  He does everything i say.

“She better hurry.  Her sister’s blood smells very appetizing right now.” Jackson says licking his lips.

    “Dude she’s 10!” I snap.

“Your point??” Jackson says.

“No, you just keep digging yourself a bigger hole, might as well start to bury yourself!” I fire back cutting off his remark.

I see Sara running towards us, sweat dripping from her face.  She looks frightened. I smell the fear and uneasiness in her blood.  Now she is really frightened. I grab her arm with force and slam her against the wall.  She cries out as my long nails dig into her skin. I get closer to her heart ready to rip it out and take the sweet blood.

“Let her go!” a male voice booms.  My red eyes flash like fire in anger.  I whip around and see a guy in a hockey mask and all red.  I chuckle, and release Sara. She falls to the ground in agony.

“Where are you going? A Halloween party!?” I taunt. I can't see his face but i'm sure he is smirking.

“I don't know about me but you seem like a loser going after a girl like that.  You’d do well at a Halloween party because you’d be the creepy clown in the background.” The man says with malice in his voice.

I glare at him and grab Sara by her hair so hard it pulls her to her feel.  I dig my nails into her skin again. She cries out and it's like music to my ears.  She starts to go limp with all the struggling she is doing. The man approaches quickly.

“Come any closer and i'll rip her heart out.” I order and he stops dead in his tracks and i laugh.

-BAM!- I fall forward with a thud and lose hold of Sara.
