The story of Johnny Fox (pt. 4)

Kayla ran as fast as she could, not knowing where to go. Her heart was pounding against her chest as she groped desperately for the front door.
She found it and flung it open, running as fast as she could, not looking back.
She held something in her hand that she’d picked up in the mansion, but couldnt make out what it was, so she decided to put it in her pocket.
She climbed the grape vine shaft to her bedroom window and locked it. She changed into her pajamas and hid beneath the covers, not daring to peek out.

The next morning she was awkened by her brothers pounding on the door.
“Wake up, Kay. Yer boyfriend’s here.”
Her heart thumped hard against her ribs as she got out of bed and changed into her clothes from the previous night. She went downstairs to see Johnny standing with a rose in his hands. “Morning sweetie.”
She didnt reply, she only shook as she took the object she’d been carrying the previous night from her pocket. She shrieked and dropped the hand to the floor.
