Do not take me away

​

 

There was a 16-year-old girl called Emily, who lived in a normal neighbourhood with a normal family in a normal life. Everything seemed to be perfect to her.

But there was an actual problem: everyone in the neighbourhood have always talked about her, saying that she’s crazy, and that she lives alone. She didn’t really care about their opinion, until that awful day that someone called the police.

• -  Mom! They’re here! – she yelled, with tears in her eyes.

• -  Who is here honey? – asked her mother, worried.

• -  The police! – she sniffed, full of tears at that point -. I don’t

  want to go with them. I do not want them to take me away!

• -  Sweetie... - said her father, trying to comfort her.

• -  No! I do not want to be away from you!

• -  Emily! – yelled her mother, making her shut up for a while -.

  Maybe is the best. They’ll help you better... What are you doing?

- No one will make me go away from you. Not anymore...

The police entered on the house 5 minutes later. The house was completely silenced, so they decided to look all around the house and outside in the garden.

• -  Boss... - said one of them -. We founded her.

• -  Where was she? – said the boss, going outside the house.

• -  In her own tomb sir... - said, sweaty. When the boss looked,

  there were 2 adult corpses in the grass, that were already rotting, and between them, Emily’s corpse, which had a knife in its chest and a note on her lap that said:

  “Do not take me away...”
