Ashes and Diamonds by Sydney St. Fleur (book club recommendations TXT) 📖

a patient bed. I looked around the room and then at myself. I’m in my own horror movie. I realized i’m in a insane asylum. The cops think I was making up my sister’s death and unleashing my wrath upon people. I turned to look over to the right and I saw Sabrina’s pale, silent, body. She turned to look at me, “Amanda where are we?” A tear came down my face because I realized that the people who are in insane asylums never come out alive, they always die immediately or, die in there just from old age. Sabrina repeated her question, “They think we are insane Sabrina...We are in insane asylum =, and we may never come out.” Before I knew it I was creating a small pond in my bed. My voice started to crack, “They might just kill us.” Sabrina looked at me and then at her straps. She started laugh insanely. “They didn’t strap me good, we have a chance at leaving this place.” She was moaning at first as she was removing her body free from the straps and before I knew it she was standing over me. She started untying the straps and I got up and hugged her. We ran out into the hallway and checked if there was any guards. Then Sabrina went down the hallway to check if there was a exit..There was. “HURRY UP FOLLOW ME!!” Sabrina and I ran to the exit and smelt the fresh air. I started to choke on my tears. “KEEP RUNNING AMANDA!!” We ran for a few hours and then we saw Sabrina’s house. “I HAVE THE KEY TO MY HOUSE LET’S GO!!” We ran up the steps and then she unlocked the door. We ran inside and locked the door behind us. “Sabrina, we did it.” “Sabrina?” We got up from the floor to face Sabrina’s dad AKA suspect.  “Hello Daddy.” He held a knife behind his back. “I love you sweetheart.” “DAD NO!!!” Screams filled the room and then eventually darkness. You are him

 I woke up in bed next to Sabrina’s dad in a cabin. Oh my gosh, this is how my sister died, this is her killer. I looked at him and saw he had a camera in his hand. I slid it out of his hand then looked at his pictures, He had pictures of me dozed out and bleeding, then I saw Daniella’s body (Dead), Sabrina’s body (Dead) and then, Claire’s body (Dead). Mine (Alive). I’m seriously going to end my life this way. I got out of the bed and ran out of the bedroom. I tripped over a nail and fell to the floor in agony. Screaming in pain as I watched the blood move down my leg. I realized I have no time to be watching blood fall but, I have enough time to run from this vacant cabin and survive. I don’t want to join my sister not being able to tell her her killer is dead and he was executed in jail. Yep. They brought that punishment back just for him. I got up and started to run, and the pain in my leg was unbearable but, I couldn’t stop. At least...Not yet. I continued to run as fast as I could and saw the light of the door. Right when I was about to leave the door slammed in my face, and  the light….Was gone. I tried my best to pull on the door and push on the door but that door was not budging. All of a sudden, I felt hot and wet air breathing slowly on my neck. I turned around to find Sabrina’s dad watching me, “Why are you leaving so soon?” “You do this with all your victims?” “What do you mean with that statement?” I rolled my eyes. “Oh don’t get all intelligent with me! If you were intelligent all those girls lives you taken would be still here today?” “Please tell me what you meant.” “Ok, fine. Knock them out, Drive them to your remote cabin so no evidence will be provided for the police. Lay them in bed and lay next to their close to dead bodies. Which is sick by the way, heck you are sick and medicine won’t be able to treat your body! And you say the same thing, “Why are you leaving so soon? Why would you want to leave paradise?” Slam them into the nail filled floor, and then laugh at their dead bodies saying, “So sad, you died so young.” But, let me tell you something. None of those people will repeat those words with a single tear but with a harsh laugh. Because honestly you deserve to die a terrible death. Nobody will shed tears or attend your funeral.” I laughed like a cold hearted villain. “But, they will, they will attend your execution. And they will laugh at your dead body. And trust me this will happen, because i’m leaving out of here with bruises and scars, but i’m also leaving out of here with a soon to be dead man and my soul still full of life.” “I wouldn’t bet on that.” “But, I would. In fact, i’m not betting. I’m telling. This is going to happen. Whether you stab me with a blade of a knife once, i’m a soldier, and I will be coming out alive.” He laughed and tried to stab me with the knife in his hand in my shoulder blade. I dodged and he missed stabbing the door with is defenseless knife and skills. I ran off get a flashlight I saw earlier on the floor and picked it up and shined it  on him. “DAD!!!” Tear streamed down my cheeks like the flames of fires. “How, How, How could you do this to me and Claire and her friends, my friends, people, girls?” He remained silent coming towards me with the knife in his hand. I ran as fast as I could with the flashlight present in my hand. I found a open window in the bathroom and ran in there. I locked the door. I stood there for a second. How could I be so blind, that’s why my parents did not want to talk about Claire. Because my own dad was a suspect, my own dad was a killer. Maybe that’s why Sabrina’s mom was mad at Sabrina. Just because she was friends with me. She believed being friends with me would put her daughter in jeopardy, and it was true. Because now….Sabrina….she’s dead. I climbed out of the window knowing my dad would follow but, that just only apart of my plan. I ran into the woods feeling like I had asthma. I turned around see my dad running after me. If he’s smart he won’t follow me….Let’s see. I ran into a town well - populated and ran to one of the people. “Can I please use your phone!!” The nice lady took it out from her pocket and I dialed 911. The cops came immediately. And saw my dad. “THERE HE IS GET HIM GET HIM!!” My father, I can’t even call him my father any longer. The killer tried to run away but the cops stung him with there stun gun. What didn’t see is the gun in my father’s hand. He shot me. Everyone around me gasped in agony. I fell to the floor. Light, Darkness, End. Is this the end. I don’t know…..It’s a mystery...That’s for you to figure out.
