Chapter Three
“ What do you want Cory? I thought I told you to leave me alone!”
“You did but I decided not to.”
“Look I don’t want to go with you into that black hole! And you can’t make me! Nobody can!”
“Oh yes I can Evan! I know your weakness.”
Tears started to roll down Evan’s cheeks. She didn’t want to go with her. She wanted to stay where she was. Cory didn’t know a thing about her, or did she?
“ Look over here Evan,” came Cory’s cool voice sharp with wickedness.
Evan looked. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. She sank to her knees and begged Cory to do anything but what she was doing. Cory was torturing her mom and dad. Making them suffer because she didn’t want to go into the big black hole.
“I thought you said that you were never going to bow down to me ever again Evan? But look at you know. You’re on your knees begging me for mercy!” an evil smile lit up Cory’s face.
“I’ll do anything, just let my parents go!”
“ There is one thing you can do. You can let me lock you in that big black hole.”
“ Fine I’ll do anything!” Evan was sobbing now.
“ If you do let me lock you up, you will never ever come out alive again,” Cory let out a wicked laugh. The laugh was so wicked that it made Evan’s insides cringe at the sound of it.
“ I’m sure, I’ll do anything! I cross my heart!” She watched as Cory let her parents go, and come toward her. An evil smile passed across her face. Cory grabbed her arm, her nails piercing Evan’s skin. Cory’s grip tightned around her arm. Evan started to sweat. She knew that her death was near.
“Say goodbye Evan!” Cory sneered.
Cory pushed Evan. All Evan heard was Cory’s wicked laugh as she was plunged into darkness.
Evan sat bolt upright. Her face was wet with sweat mixed with tears. Okay, it was just a dream. Just… a… dream. Pull yourself together Evan. Come on. And before she knew it Evan was asleep.
Evan woke up with the sound of a soft knock at her door. She rolled over to see what time it was. 10:00 am! She sat bolt upright almost hitting her mom in the face with her forehead.
“Whoa, sweetheart settle down a bit!”
“But mom I’m really late for school!”
“No you’re not honey, school was cancelled because of all the snow we got last night.”
“Sweet!” Evan yelled and raced over to her window pulled up her blinds and gazed upon the freshly fallen snow twinkling in the sun like diamonds. The trees and the landscape were a beautiful sight coming from the view she had.
“ It’s beautiful isn’t it?”
“Ya.” They stood there for a couple of minutes more. Evan then made her bed and went downstairs for breakfast. After breakfast she got on her snow pants, coat, mitts, hat and boots. She then headed out to play with her friends and shovel out the driveway
