The house of madness

Chapter twenty: Old memories.

“What do you mean?” A younger Jay asked. Jack shuffled his feet. “Well, we went to warn Mrs. Lois and…I told them to stay outside the building.” Jack said. “What were you thinking?!? The bombers were targeting BUILDINGS!! And yet you left them outside the building so that the bombs would land on them!! Why didn’t you save them?!?!” Jay screamed, losing his temper. “Well what did you expect me to do?! Run over to them and get bombed as well?!” Jack asked sarcastically. “Well at least you could have done something!” The scene suddenly flashed and Jay is somewhere else. With a man with slicked back black hair, green eyes, and sickly white skin. “I know how you feel. My brother betrayed me as well. Sometimes people do things and we’re left to pick through the rubble.” Tom said. He held out his hand. “Join me and we will build a better world. Together.” Suddenly Jay’s vision flashed again and he was strapped to a bed and so was Sylvia. “Prepare them for brain washing.” Tom instructed, his eyes filled with evil. Then he walked from the room, Jay struggled against the straps holding him back. He clinched his fist and a dagger formed in his hand. Then he cut the straps and bolted from the bed. He looked around for Sylvia. “D-don’t m-o-ove!” A scientist stuttered. The scientist was holding a kitchen knife to Sylvia’s throat. Jay hesitated for a second and then moved. Quicker than a whip Jay threw his dagger and it lodged itself in the scientists throat. The scientist crumpled to the ground. Then a white flash filled Jay’s vision.

Jay woke up sweating hard and his heart thumping more than a beating drum. He was lying on a couch in Autumn’s living room. He took a few deep breaths. He was okay. It had only been nightmares/ old memories. He looked around for Sylvia then sighed thankfully when he saw that she was still lying on the couch across from him. A blanket was wrapped snugly around her. Her face looked free of pain or stress as she slept peacefully. Jay rose quietly and walked over to her. He tucked her hair away from her face then gently shook her awake. “Sylvia, Sylvia. It’s time.” Jay whispered. Her eyes flickered open. Then she reached up and pulled him down for a long blissful kiss. Jay felt as if his heart was melting from love. Finally they broke apart. They gazed, intoxicated into each other’s eyes. “Today’s the day.” Jag whispered. Sylvia broke into a grin. “Today’s the day.” She repeated.

I hope you all are enjoying this series!
