Mom

Mom Pov:

"MOM! MOM!" I heard some kids cry in distress, and running out to the voices I saw Clowey, Adian, and Adiana. "What is it? What's going on?" I say considered. "There was a fire, then Aunt Erica ran in and Brian and Gregory," Adriana said panicked. "W-What she is saying is that t-the three of them are in that fire," Clowey said with a calmer but still panicked voice.

Hearing what they are saying I look up into the sky and see smoke in the direction of where Clowey is pointing, shocked I take out my tracking device and sure enough, I see 2 dots in the direction of the fire.

"Ok! Recess is over everyone inside now!" I yell to the other children as I rush into the woods in the location of the fire. It took a couple of minutes to get there but when I did, I saw a roaring fire burning trees, grass, and pretty much everything. 'Luckily the fire is only in the forest and not in the orphanage, that would be worse.' As I thought about this I pulled out my compass again, and what I saw shocked me. Counting the dots, I found that out of the 40 that should be there were only 24 dots.

'Shit, the kids are escaping, I have to tell headquarters' I quickly figured out that the kids were escaping and also figured out the tracking device in their ear. I run back through the woods, stepping over twigs and leaves as I sprint my way back. I wasn't able to save Brian and Gregory because the fire was too big, so I could only report to headquarters.

The orphanage was in the distance, I saw a group of kids across the plain, running in the direction of the gate. I had a decision to make, do I chase after them or do I report to headquarters… I ultimately chose to chase after them, if they escape I'm surely dying because I let some children escape, and if I tell headquarters then I might even die anyway. 

Changing my course to the children, I run and hope that I can capture all of them as I think if I fail to do so, Grandma will kill me…

Clowey Pov: 

After Adrian's little speech we quickly gather all of our necessities and rush out the door, mom hasn't arrived yet which is a good thing as everything is going to plan so far. Before we left we went to everyone and destroyed the tracking device, we did so by crushing it, it hurt but it was required for escaping.

"Fern when we get to the gate I have a very important job for you, I need you to squeeze through the bars and open the gates for us to escape, you got that," I say to Fern while running. I see her nod at that. 

"Mom's back!" Adriana yelled, when she yelled that I looked to the other side of the field and saw Mom sprinting at us. "Ok everyone, Mom is back faster than we thought she would, so we have to do this quickly," I yelled. I also hoped that she hadn't called headquarters yet.

When some of the still skeptical kids saw mom springing at us, they started to believe in what we said. Running and running through the forest, some of the older kids picked up the younger ones because they were slowing us down, looking behind us I could tell that mom was catching up to us.

"Hurry or she'll catch up to us" I yell. I didn't know what mom would do when she caught up, but if I had to guess she would cripple us so we wouldn't be able to run, and I doubt any of us would want to fight mom, except for maybe Gregory. We were all getting out of breath, as the gate appeared in the distance and Gregory was standing in front of it.

Although we discussed it beforehand, I was still shocked to see him without his left ear. He had his bloody shirt wrapped around the wound, and he put on a smile when he saw all of us, but I could tell he was faking it.

Pov Gregory: 

"Oh my God Gregory what happened to your ear?" The concerned voice of Fern hit my right ear, I kneel to her and give her my best smile. "Don't worry Fern I'm fine, but I need you for something very important, you see those levers over there, I need you to pull both of them so we could escape," I say with a calm voice, though I was in immense pain.

I see Fern nod, I gently push her to the gate, and I watch as she squeezes her way through the bars. "Hurry, Mom will be here soon," one of the scared 7-year-olds said. Fern seemed to not need the advice as she was already hurrying. 

She sprinted as we all watched her silently, this seemed to be the calm before the storm, of what storm I didn't know. Mom was closing the distance and was close. 

"The gate won't open before Mom arrives, we have to stall her!" Adrian said worriedly. "I'll do it" I confidently say as I walk slowly to mom. Mom slows down seeing me in front of her. "Are you here to stall me? Judging from your clothes you probably killed Aunt Erica, are you going to kill me too?" Mom asked as she slowly walked toward me.

"Ya I'm here to stall you, and yes I killed Aunt Erica, aren't you scared?" I answer as I bring out my blood-stained knife and hold it firmly in my hand, she didn't look scared. The only reason I was able to kill Aunt Erica was that it was a surprise attack, I have no confidence in winning in an actual fight.

She didn't say anything but walked to me slowly as I stood my ground. Suddenly she sprinted, closing the gap in a second, she swung at me. *Swoosh* The fist missed me as I dodged backward. I swung the blade at her arm, but it whiffed. She was still moving forward extending her arms for a tackle, knowing that would be bad I extended the knife in front of me. 

It was a feint as she turned the tackle into another punch. *Smack* The fist hit my wound and I was put into a daze, it was like cutting my ear off a second time. Capitalizing on that, she swung again. By some miracle, I was able to dodge that. *Shuck-Shuck-Shuck* The gate opened behind me and hearing that I immediately sprinted to it, my job was to stall her not to defeat her in a melee fight.

"That hurts" blood came out of my left ear, the already bloody shirt couldn't take any more blood and did nothing to absorb the blood. The children were already halfway down the gate, and now all I needed to do was run. 

*Pah-ah* I breathed heavily, looking behind me. Mom was catching up to me and would get me before I could make it out of the gate. I decided to throw the knife behind me. "Ah" a scream from Mom came from behind me, I knew the knife must have stuck into her. 

'I'm so close to escaping this hellish place, I hope that buys me enough time' I think as I see the others have already gotten out, but it was only me who needed to escape now. Closer and closer the end of the gate came, closer and closer the end of the gate came, until it was just a step away.

Despair came in the form of two arms wrapping themselves around my neck. "I got you little brat, you're so unlucky if you stepped even a step more then you would have escaped and I would not be able to get you."Mom said while panting.

"But I got you before you could get past the gate, you see I'm stuck here until I die and if I ever leave I will die, these demons stuffed me with a lot more things to make sure I'm in check" I could tell mom was going a little crazy. 

"I'm probably going to die soon, I let some of the livestock escape, they will kill me for this discretion, but at least I'm going to be able to kill you along with me!" Mom explained her story. I couldn't help but feel a little bad for her, but only a little.

I watched as she pulled my knife out of her stomach. "Was it worth it… killing your mother?" She said, 'Is this the end? I won't be able to say goodbye to my friends. ' I start tearing up. *STAB* I hear the sound of a knife going into flesh, but weirdly there was no pain.

Looking around I see Clowey with a knife in her hand, inserted into the back of Mom's neck. "Clowey you came back," I say with a wide smile. Mom's now dead body let go of my neck as she fell to the ground.
