I sat with my claw like nails pressed into a tree watching the sleeping family. I had to leave. If something was telling me to kill a little kid, then I needed to get as far away from that family, even if it included leaving Gerard behind for god knows how long.

"Kill the kid," The voice said again.

"No, shut up! I am leaving so I don't hurt Gram."

My final descision. I carved a note into the tree that said
Dear Family,
I am leaving for a while. If it keeps you safe from the demons in my mind. I will send Ray and Frank back
to you guys if I find them. I don't have the slightest idea where I will go, but it will be for a long time, untill
Gram can protect himself from monsters like me. I love you all.
-Ashley.
I stood up and Mikey looked at me breifly but I ran into the forest as fast as I could and as far as I could. Jumping from tree to tree untill I couldnt smell the ones I loved anymore. Thats when I started to cry.
