Chapter Thirteen – I love you
“Look mom, it’s snowing again!” the girl squeaked excitedly. The white snow started to fall on her black hair, leaving white spots behind.
“I know, nice sight, isn’t it?”
“You know mom, today we built a snowman at school!” The two walked around the corner, entering a smaller street. All the houses were decorated in Christmas style, even though Christmas was still weeks away. All faces glowed with excitement. Maybe there would be a white Christmas after all.
“That’s great honey, was he big?”
“Enormous!” The girl skipped over the pavement. She suddenly stopped at a certain shop. Her little face got a serious expression. “Mom, do you think Santa Claus would give me that bear if I am a really good girl?” The woman laughed. The bear in question had actually been hidden in a wardrobe for several months already.
“I’m sure he’ll bring that present if you’re a good girl.” They left the street and crossed the road. Nearly home.
“Mom?” the girl continued.
“Yes?”
“Julie said Santa Claus doesn’t exist. Is that true?” She looked up.
“No dear, that’s not true. As long as you believe in Santa Claus, he’s there.” The girl seemed happy with this answer and slid her hand into the woman’s.
“Is dad home already?”
“I think so. Let’s go and find out.” The woman started to run. The child grinned and followed shortly.
Heavily panting they reached their destination. In front of one of the identical houses they finally stopped. Just when the woman wanted to open the door, it was thrown open. A man ran down the steps.
“Val, they’re here!” He seized the girl’s wrist and pulled her in the car.
“Who’s here?” the child asked surprised. Instead of answering Val closed the door of the car and jumped in too.
“Where are they, Alex?” she hissed. He started the car.
“Locked in the bathroom,” he whispered. “It’s just a matter of minutes.” Way faster than the speed limit they rode out of the street.
“Who is locked in the bathroom, mum?”
“No one is locked in the bathroom, Sarah.”
“But dad said he had locked them in the bathroom!”
“He was just kidding.”
“Where are we going, mom?”
“To aunt Felicia,” Alex replied. “You’ll be staying with her for some time.”
“That’ll be fun,” she commented, somewhat more comforted. “When will you come back?”
“We don’t know yet,” Val answered.
Alex stopped the car in front of a small house. They quickly left the car.
“But mom, won’t I need any clothes?”
“Aunt Felicia will get you some new.” A woman slightly older than Val opened the door.
“They’re here Felicia.” The woman simply nodded. They both hugged the girl.
“We’ll be back soon, love.”
“I’ll wait here, then,” Sarah simply replied. Felicia got hold of her hand as Val and Alex hurried back into the car.

It tore my heart apart to leave my own daughter behind, and soon my vision was blurred with tears.
“She’ll just be fine, Val.”
“I know.” Just when we were nearing the edge of the town a police car appeared behind us.
“They’re getting fast,” Alex simply mentioned. He observed them in the mirror. “They were just on routine. These aren’t the kind of guys they use to follow people.”
“So that’s good?”
“No, that’s bad. Means there’s another team on the way.” He abruptly pulled the steering wheel right and I was being thrown against the car.
“Are we sure they’re following us?” Alex laughed.
“Seeing as you’re probably the only murderer around, I’d say yes.”
It slowly started to get dark, and the police car was still following us. Even worse, there were three of them now.
“When will they stop Alex? When they run out of fuel?”
“No, they don’t give up that easily. Any moment now one of them-” He didn’t get any further, when one of the police cars bumped into the side of our car. Tightening his hands around the steering wheel, Alex managed to get rid of the car. Soon after however the two other cars drove each on a side, and one of them was behind us. No way but straight forward.
“Are they going to make us stop?”
“In a way, yes. But I’m afraid we are past the friendly stage, if there ever was one.” A form doomed up in front of us. Because of the snow and darkness I had been unable to see it before. It was some sort of fence at the side of the road. The police cars continued to guide our car. And in front of us, the fence was still getting closer and closer.
“We’ll drive against it!”
“No, we will drive through it,” Alex corrected me. “See that forest? My guess is that we hit the third tree from the left. And you know as well as I that this time there will be no coming back.”
“How can you stay calm like that! We’re about to die!”
“Well,” he just said. “It doesn’t really matter anymore, now does it?”
That moment we fully hit the fence. The car made a loud noise and the window simply broke into a thousand small pieces of glass. But like Alex said, we went straight through it, continuing our way to the trees. The police stayed behind, but we already had too much speed to stop the car in time. There were no flashbacks this time, nor regret for what I did. Just happiness for the life I had lived.
“Val?” Alex asked calmly.
“Yes?”
“I love you.” Then there was a giant BANG and after that nothing but darkness.
Devomuffins:
I hardly think that has anything to do with this thread.
