Anna

Chapter 6

It was two days after Jason's death. Jason's dad, Michael visits his grave every night, regretting his decision of abandoning his own son.

Meanwhile, back in Mason's home, Mrs. Norman was watching television. She was watching her favorite TV series, "13 reasons why". Suddenly, she got a phone call.

"Hello?"

"Hello? Is this the Normans' residence?" A voice she didn't knew, asked. "Yes. Who is this?"

"I am the Harmons' butler speaking. I wanted you to know that you are invited for a small gathering, in memory of Anna and Jason Pope tomorrow night." Came the reply. "Really?" Mrs. Norman was surprised. Even after what she did the last time, they would still invite her to that house again? It was impossible to believe.

"Why, yes. The gathering is taking place at 21:00 pm tomorrow night." The butler said. "Thank you", Mrs. Norman hung up.

The butler flicked through the pages, and sighed. There were too many people to invite. "Scoffman!" Mrs. Harmon called. "Let me see how many people you have already invited", she said. She stopped when she saw that "The Harmons" had been underlined.

"You invited the Harmons!" She said through gritted teeth. "I told you not to invite them".

"I thought you said not to invite the Porters." The butler said, confused.

Mrs. Harmon sighed. "Tell the Harmons that the gathering is cancelled", she said. "Right away madam".

Jeff and Mason was just getting home from a video game shop. They didn't purchase anything. Mason just killed someone. Normally people would feel guilty about it. But surprisingly, Mason didn't even seem to care much. "So you are telling me that you know a way to get that money. How?" Mason asked. "I'll tell you later bro. Lets get to your home first", Jeff said. "But they said we have to pay up before today." Mason cried. "I know. But I can talk to-" Jeff didn't get a chance to continue his sentence.

A black car stopped right in front of them. A van stopped behind them. And two motorcyclists stopped at the sides, blocking all escapes.

The passenger door of the van opened. "Well well well". It was the leader of the Dragon Serpents. There were few people on the road. They didn't give a damn about the Serpents. They were too afraid to intervene with their work. The last person who called 911 when he saw the Serpents,on a Monday, was found dead later that day, his body parts in separate plastic bags.

The leader, who wants to call himself, Nicole, stopped right in front of Mason. He brought his face close to his. "Where's my money?" He asked in a menacing voice. He swung his baseball bat around and around. The base ball bat was covered with barbed wire. He also gave a name to his bat. He called it, Alexa.

"Where's my money?" He asked again. Neither did Mason nor Jeff said anything. "Mason. Tell him Jeff has it", Anna suddenly appeared behind Nicole. But before he could say anything, Nicole started pacing around a circle his buddies made. He was whistling while he paced. He swung Alexa back and forth. Back and forth.

"You know what kid? You got some balls in you. Yeah. I like that. You both have balls to buy s**t from us and not pay us." Nicole said. "But I don't like it when people don't pay up within the time limit. You know what I do with those people?" Nicole raised his bat, and swung it down hard to the ground. He did that several times. Jeff winced.

"S-s-ir", he stuttered. "I c-a-can p-p-ay y-you tom-morrow i-if y-yo-u want to", he said. "Quit stuttering!" Nicole bellowed. "Well, why didn't you say so? You just made it easier for me to...... bash your head!" He laughed. Nicole raised his bat. "No no waaaaaaiiit!" Jeff screamed. Nicole just shrugged and ignored his pleads. He hit Jeff really hard on the head. Jeff fell to the floor. "Nooooooo!" Mason shouted.

Jeff looked up at Mason. His face..... his right eyeball was hanging from its socket. His head was bent a little. Nicole laughed. "That looks like s**t!" He exclaimed. He swung his bat again and hit Jeff's head. Jeff fell down. Blood spread everywhere.

Nicole kept hitting Jeff's head over and over, until there was nothing left.

"Okaaaayyy!" He exclaimed. "You wanna be next?" Mason shook his head. "Goood. Then pay up before umm....... next week Thursday. You know who you should give your money to, right?" Nicole smiled.

As soon as the Serpents were out of sight, Mason took out his phone to call 911. But he saw a text from Jeff. It was sent 3 hours before he died. It read:

"Find a person called Thomas. He is a hacker. He would be in that old abandoned toy shop we both know . "

Jeff knew this was going to happen. Jeff knew that one of them would die. So he pissed off Nicole to protect Mason.

In Mason's point of view, Jeff died a hero.
