Part
IV
The SUV reaches a small one room
shack twenty miles out of town in the middle of nowhere. The dark figure slipped
out of the SUV and carried the unconscious couple into the shack, locks the
door, then climbed into his SUV and heads back into town. He arrived at his
apartment, stumbles into his apartment, and slams the door. He sank to his
knees clutching his head as if he were in immense pain. He screamed out in
pain, “I did what you asked me, please take the pain away.”
The pain suddenly increases and his
skull felt like it was about to explode. He glanced over at the mirror and his
reflection appeared to be laughing at him. “Fool, you haven’t completed
everything I have for you to do.”
His words were barely audible,
“What more would you have me do my master?” The pain subsides and a thought
enters his head. An evil smile finds its way onto his face as the Evil One’s
plan becomes clear in his mind. “I understand and your will be done Master.”

Michael awakens and found him and
Samantha in a small one room shack. He ran over to Samantha, “Are you alright
Sammie?”
“I think so Mike, what happened?”
“I’m not sure, the last thing I
remember was picking you up at your house, and then we somehow ended up here.”
She looked up at him with fear in
her eyes, “I’m scared.”
He took her in his arms and
whispered, “I won’t let anyone or anything hurt you.”
She smiles and lays her head on his
chest, “You know Mike; I’ve never been able to outrun you. I always thought
there would come a day when I didn’t regret telling you goodbye. Looking back,
I should have realized that I can’t outrun you.”
“I don’t know what to say, Sammie.”
She smiles, “There’s a part of you
in every part of me. It’s like your ghost is chasing me, and I can’t outrun
you. I have moved around, and no matter where I go, you always seem to be with
me. I’ve had a chance with other guys, but I only ever saw your face. I’ve
prayed that the memory of you would fade, but I guess God knows better. I guess
what I am saying is that I am so sorry for breaking your heart and if you can
find it in your heart to forgive me, I would like the chance to love you again.
This time I would love you right.” A tear finds its way down her cheek as she
looked into his eyes, “I love you Michael.”
Michael placed his hands on her chin
and tilted her head up and kissed her gently, then whispered, “I love you too
Samantha, I always have and always will. Now we need to get out of here and
find out who took us.”
He took her hand and went to the
front door, finding it lock he put his boot to it and kicked it open. Samantha
looked at Michael, “My hero.” They both chuckle and run out the open door. Soon
after they left the cabin, they found themselves lost in the surrounding forest.
The sun started setting and still they found themselves lost in the forest.
They stopped to rest for a moment
or two, and suddenly Sam had an idea, she closed her eyes and silently pleaded
with whoever was listening, “Please help
us God, if you are there. I think you are… please help us out of this forest.”
A moment later, she heard a voice in her mind, telling her the way out of the
forest. They head off in the direction she was told Michael trusting her that
she knows where she’s going.
As they race toward the edge of the
forest, the trees begin to move, ever so slightly, moving them in the direction
the Evil one wants. They soon come to a clearing and once out of the cover of
the trees they see that they are back at the cabin where they started. They saw
the dark figure standing on the porch. He points a boney finger toward them and
they are surrounding by a pack of wolves with glowing red eyes. He laughs at
them, “Did you actually think you could get away from me? It will take more
than just a prayer to get you out of this.”
The dark figure started to make his
way toward the couple when a bright white light comes out of nowhere and blinds
the dark figure. As the dark figure staggered back, a figure stepped out of the
white light with a flaming sword and shield. “You will not have these people
Evil One.”
The dark figure just laughs, “Whose
going to stop me? You? I think not… no, no one can stop me. I have the power of
the Evil One, I am unstoppable. I will kill you and then I will continue with
the Evil One’s plan.” With that said the dark one pulled out a sword that was
black at pitch. The two combatants begin to circle…
