Alone

Krystal P.O.V

I decide that I’m gonna go after John today, but I need to wait till everyone is asleep. By the time dinner rolls around I have a plan in my mind.

“Krystal.” I hear “you gonna tell us a story?”

I smile at the children. I get up and start telling a story of a girl who decides to face a bad guy on her own, so she can save all she loves. At the end she succeeds. After the story the kids start to head off to bed. I go up with them and pretend to be tired, I’m hopping they don’t question my intentions or I might have to change my plans. I decide to change into a black outfit so I’m not as easily spotted. I’m about to creep out when I hear someone calling my name. I spin around and see Dylan coming down the hall.

“Shoot.” I mumble. Trying to think of a good excuse, but my mind goes blank.

“What are you doing?” He asks suspiciously.

“Um…” I try to think of an excuse but they all sound week.

The look he gives me tells me knows exactly what I’m up to.

“Krystal, you can’t go by yourself, your gonna get yourself caught, and then how will you protect these children?”

I think about this for a moment.

“I won’t, I’ll have Kathrine do that or you.” I say. “Because I’m going one way or another. Nothing you say will stop me.”

He shakes his head, I turn to go but he grabs my wrist.

“Don’t do this alone, take someone with you.”

I shake my head.

“I can’t, Kathrine needs to watch the children, and if I show up with you they’ll know yo betrayed them.” I say.

“Be careful.” He tells me, before I walk it the door.

I nod my head in reply, I give him a smile and walk outside towards the building of terror. I’m shaking as I walk up to the building, I very well could be walking to my death, after a few minutes I stop at the door. I gulp, I feel like I’m standing at the doorway to hell.
