Chapter 7 to the Devil's Forum


7.
As Kim sat at home, she reccollected all of the events that happened that day. She sniffed the air, and sensed the aroma of the air freshener plug in. she smiled to herself as she developed a new apreation for life. She was glad to be home, and glad to be alive.
"Better get to rreading another article then." she thought to herself.
She hit the power button and the computer stated to boot. Just as she was getting ready to log on, she noticed bill outside of her window.
Bill was about to climb the ivy that lead to her window. He was soaked due to the seasonal rainfall.
"Bill! What are you doing here? It's 9:30 at night!"
"Yo, sorry to bother you at this time, but I got nowhere wlse to go right now."
"What about home?"
'That drunk, abusive, cheating b*****d brought his other girlfriend in, so while those two are probably passed out in each other's arms, I'm locked out!" Bill said at a low, but furious tone.
"Why were you out?"
"Heh," Bill snickered "I wasn't. I ran out before he locked it, and before you asked, look at this and it should explain everything."
After saying that, he took off his shirt. He revealed a horrible, large bruise on his side.
"Oh, my God!" Kimmi gasped in fear. "What did he do1!?"
"Ts, ******** found my steel bat, that's what."
"Why don't you call the c--"
"NO!" Bill interrupted " I have never, nor will I ever get help from those crooked low-lives!"
"But they can help you!"
"Not me, they gave up on me a while ago. Even while he's drunk, he's a good liar, and a good fake, they don't believe me."
"Than what can you do?"
"Nothing, just take it. Or, that's what I used to do. I'm done with this s**t. Now it's my turn. That b*****d is gonna know the pain he put me through."
"I know there's absolutely nothing I can say to change your mind, so just don't do anything stupid."
"Fine, in the meantime, where am I gonna stay?"
"Here, of course. I'll handle it."
"But I thought you couldn't have me over here anymore."
"Don't worry about it." Kimmi said as she stood up. "Mom! Bill's staying over!" She yelled downstairs.
"Why?" Her mother yelled back.
"Personal problems."
"Keep the door open then sweetie."
"That was easy." Laughed Bill.
"I know, my mom loves me. Does your mom know about your dad?"
"Yep, but she kept it quiet. He doesn't know that she knows. I can't talk to her, he won't allow me to call her. She's always off on business trips and stuff. But I don't care anymore. I own my live, not him. I'm done with him."
"well, it's 10:30 now, I think it's about time we went to bed."
"10:30!? I usually don't sleep until 1:00."
"Sorry pal, not my rules." yawned Kim "I'll be right back, I gotta go change."
"Ok."
"And no peeking!" Joked Kim.
"Oh man!" He joked back.
While Kim was out, Bill took advantage of that and took some time out to think. He thought about how he was going to get revenge on his raging drunkard of a father. He planned many ways to do it, but he felt too scared to go through with it.
"Of course," he smiled to himself. "Why would I have to do it, when I can rest my mind just wishing for it."
As he thought that, he closed his eyes, laid his head down, and muttered, " I wish something, anything could happen to my dad, he doesn't deserve to live, not after all he put us through."
"Hey," Kimmi sleepily said as she walked in, "You're sleeping on the floor, just so you know."
"Aww, just as I was hoping to be in your bed tonight." laughed Bill.
"Just as Kimmi was about to turn off the lights, she heard someone's voice outside, yelling out to her.
"KIM!"
"Who is it?" she yelled back
"It's me, Sean, and Terra's with me too!"
Kim looked down out of her window, and saw two vauge figures standing out in the rain
"Wait a sec, I'll go let you in."
Kim and Bill ran downstairs as fast as they could. when she opeded the door, Terra and Sean were both standing there, soaked to the bone, still in their pajamas, and a jacket.
"What are you two doing here?" asked Bill, "You two idiots are going to get sick."
"It's important." said Sean, although confused by Bill's presence "It's your dad."
Sean and Terra's faces were pale. Not only from the blistering cold rain, but also from fear of what they had just seen.
"What, did the idiot crash the car again?" retorted Bill.
"No, he's dead, but it wasn't from that." uttered Terra, shaky, and still distrubed from the sight. "That thing, it-it diddn't die, it came back and...and..."
"NO!" gasped Kim, "That can't be right, I could've sworn I ripped the thing apart myself!"
"I-no-I diddn't mean, no, this can't be right!" stuttered Bill to himself. "Did anyone call the cops?"
"No, too unbelievable." said Sean.
"Then let's go!" Kimmi said, as she grabbed her jacket. And if that thing is still there, I'm bringing the fight to it!"
