Devastatingly Mine

Chapter 18 - Alessa

“Alessa!!!” I hear him calling my name as I'm running out the window. Seeing Sarah's lifeless body almost cost me my life. I could feel my body slow to grieve for her. But I quickly put my mind back on track. I grab the knife off the floor that Sarah dropped, sticking it in the back of my pants, and bolt out the window. I hit the back rail of the fire escape as he reaches the window and tries grabbing for me. I scream and start to run down, banging on every window for help. I make it down two floors before he’s grabbing my hair and jerking me back down. I can see looking up, that no one answered the window knocks. I'm still 3 floors up from the ground and there is no one out here to help me. “You should have died that day in the lake. Now Liam and Sarah are dead because of you! You get to die with their blood on your hands.” Micheal saws with a growl. He takes his foot and stomps it on my knee, the crack coming in loud for everyone to hear. I scream in pain but his manic laughter over my cries is louder. “Why are you doing this.” I ask as he looks at me with a wicked smile. “Why? You broke up with me. You didn’t do what women are supposed to do. You didn’t submit to me! You were mine and allowed guys like Liam into you when you were MINE!!!! Now I am going to make it where you're mine again and only mine while you take your last breath. I will be the last thing you feel inside of you before the life leaves your body.” He starts to undo his belt buckle, eyes dark, he looks like someone possessed by the devil. I use the railing to pull myself up on my good leg as he watches. “I will NEVER be yours.” I say to him, determined to die fighting before I ever let him inside of me. I use what force I can and run to him pulling the knife out. He stretches his arms out in a hug embrace and catches me as I fall into him and stab him in the side. Knife sticking out , and pushes me off him and I hit the metal flooring of the fire escape. “b***h!!!” I hear the police sirens now and he jerks his head up hearing them as well. I get up as quickly as I can, adrenalin pumping, as he jerks the knife out of his side and drops it. I run again and push him with all my strength as he flips over the side of the fire escape. He tried to grab at me to pull me over with him but was unsuccessful causing me to drop to my good knee as he fell. I watched what felt like a lifetime, the few seconds it takes for him to hit the ground. The thud sound his body made when he hit the ground will be something I will never forget in this lifetime. But it's finally over. I sit down against the metal bars and my body begins to shake. I hear the police in my apartment above “HELP!!! Im down here!!!!!” I yell. One of them climbs out the window and makes her way to me. Asking me my name and where the intruder is. I point my finger behind me, motioning to the ground. She looks over and back at me, “Where?”She asked. Confused, I rushed to turn around to see Micheals body gone. The pain and realization of him being gone, made my body start shaking and I pass out.
