Chereads / Killer behind child's mask / Chapter 9 - Failed murder

Chapter 9 - Failed murder

Aaren digged around treehouse until he found what he was looking for.

When he was about to leave his adopted brother stopped him

"Going somewhere? 'Brother'"

Aaren glared at him "you're going down."

Bentley chuckled "I don't think so"

He pulled out small box of matches out of his pocket

"To make sure you don't destroy my plans I'm afraid I'll have to kill you"

Aaren's eyes widened, Bentley lit a match and threw on the woden floor.

As fire slowly started growing bigger

Bentley gave his brother evil smile and said "goodbye brother"

With that he left Aaren in treehouse with locked door

Aaren tried open the door but no avail  

Smoke started slowly suffocating him and he had to think fast before he passes out

Seeing there no other exit expect window, he had no choice but to jump out

He looked through window and saw height is very dangerous to just jump

'you can do this! You have to save Helena from this beast!' voice said inside his head

At that moment he remembered moments of him and Helena spending together

From meeting her for first time to this day

-16 years ago-

"Aaren meet your sister Helena" Miranda gave her son his newborn sister

He took one look at her and his heart started beating fast

"Hi. I'm your big brother, Aaren" he said

Helena slowly opened her eyes and blinked at him

"How are we going to call her dear" Michael asked

Miranda smiled "Helena. From queen of romania"

Aaren smile become bigger

"Helena. Beautiful name for you"

Helena started crying all of sudden

Aaren get scared he said something wrong, Michael chuckled

"It's okey Aaren, she's just hungry. You didn't do anything wrong"

Michael took Helena from his arms and gave her back to her mother's

"Let's go now. We will visit them tomorrow"

-end of flash back-

Without thinking he jumped out

He left all evidence behind because bag of bloody cloths was too big to fit

And Bentley would set them on fire sooner than he would have a chance to show them to the police

'I'm sorry Helena. Forgive me' he thought before hitting the ground

Bentley watched this with big grin on his face

When Aaren's body hit the ground he walked towards him. He put his finger against his neck to see if he still has pulse

He frowned when he felt his pulse

"What a pity. I'll finish you next time" he said

When he saw treehouse started disintegrating he decided to act like innocent little brother and call for help

But not before parts of treehouse fell on Aaren

He ran fast to get Michael and Miranda like good child who's worried for his sibling
