No More Room To Breathe
Chapter 6
***********Marilyn's POV******************
*SHANE?!* my brain screamed. I couldn't believe he was gone.
I got to my feet and continued to run for all I was worth. I could see the vast, bright city lights ahead of me. Could I make it?.......Or would this be the last image my eyes took in?
"Marilyn!"
Jason was REALLY pissed now. If he caught me, I wouldn't escape again and now I had no help. They'd be finding pieces of me for years.
"You won't get away! Nobody's left!" he screamed to me. I could hear the silent smile in his voice.
I was losing blood fast. The two slices, one across each of my wrists, were covered with crimson. My vision began to blur around the edges. I was going to die and I could feel this realization all the way to my core.
"They're DEAD! Tommy, Sam, Katie, your mom and dad, and that loser of a fiancée. I've killed anyone who could ever care about you! Your family is gone!" Jason began to laugh cruelly.
I began to sob freely as I ran through the dark forest, swearing that the city lights only got farther away.
*Maybe I should give up.* I could die with the rest of my family. I thought this over. But, then I remembered Shane. He had sacrificed his own life, our love, for me to live. I had to keep going.
I ducked behind a nearby tree, trying to get a better look at my surroundings. I listened for Jason. It was beginning to snow lightly.
"Merry Christmas, Marilyn." Jason yelled.
I gasped...letting my mind absorb this statement.
*Could this really be Christmas?!* I thought violently. *How?!* This was supposed to be a night of joy and family. Instead, it was full of death and eternal loneliness....at least in my mind. Jason ran past my tree and stopped. I held my breath.
"I know you're out here!" he bellowed so loud that I couldn't believe I was the only one to hear.
"C'mon! Since its Christmas and all how about I give you the gift of your own life? I won't kill you if you come out right now," he smiled as if he knew I couldn't pass up this opportunity.
"Marilyn, we could be happy together! I'll do anything to be with you!"
I thought about all this as my own blood ran through my open fingers.
Should I give in and try to escape when I'm stronger? But, I knew I couldn't wait.
"MARILYN! COME OUT NOW YOU BITCH!"
It was escape or die trying.
"Please God, help me," I prayed silently while tears streamed down my face.
And then I felt two big arms wrap around me from behind.

My eyes shot open and I woke up gasping for air.
I felt like I had no more room to breathe.
