Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Amy went flying back from her attacker's blow, slamming into the wall. Jolts of pain shot through her body. Her sword flew to her left and the assailent picked it up and easily bent the hilt into a knot, than casually tossed it behind its shoulder landing it in the fireplace. "No...please..." Tears were welling up in Amy's eyes. Suddenly, the attacker screeched like a dieing animal and turned around. Casey stood in the door way, his gun still smoking. "Step away from my wife. Now." The attacker hissed and ran with inhuman speed past Casey. "Casey..." Amy ran into her husband's arms than opened the closet door. Derek still lay there, sound asleep. She picked him up. "We'll talk in the morning honey." Casey said to her. "I'll clean up around here. You and D get to bed." "All right...Oh! Did you find any sign of Austin?" "No...we searched for hours but there was no sign of him. We're going to start searching again in the morning." Casey picked the door up from the floor and put it up against the frame again. Amy sighed. "Good night Casey."
"I can't believe it! Calvin! I didn't know you were even still alive!" Nick exclaimed. "And you found my brother! You don't know how much this means to me. Austin, are you all right?" "Um, yeah...about that..." Calvin started. "What? What did they do to him?" "They kind of cut out his toungue..." "WHAT?!" Nick forced open his brother's mouth and nearly gagged at what he saw. "Oh my god!" There was a crash from downstairs. "Shit...looks like they followed me here..." "Who?" Nick's question was answered as a rain of bullets peirced through the walls. "Holy shit!" Nick, still supporting Austin, dove behind his bed while Calvin took cover behind the kitchen counter. He drew two pistols from his pockets. "You might want to take cover Nick, this is going to get a little messy."
