Fight - Day 10 - Rich

I let myself in and creaked up the crooked stairs one step at a time. Mr Davies was here somewhere, the damn madman! I had to speak to him about what had happened. He had been enraged that the boy Gareth had been in his office on the top floor. That's where the confrontation happened, where I found the boy on the floor, a gun to his chest. It was a musket, very old, much like this farmhouse.

I was sad, not only because I’d just had to throw the body of that young man out into the wet field, not that I didn't have enough time or energy left to bury him, not that now had no electricity or warm water for me to wash. No, I was sad because I was dying. I was dying and I hadn't told a soul of it. That I probably would never see my wife, or my son ever again. That my daughters would be alone in this shit decaying world.

“Mr Davies,” I spoke aloud cautiously to the attic door. This was where he and his daughters had fled to earlier. I say daughters, I doubted the other girl was his daughter now. Why would she be so secretive?

“What?” Came a sour reply from beyond the locked door.

“May I come in? I wish to apologise in person, that should not have happened earlier.”

“No,” he answered. “I want you to leave come morning. I have one shot; I will use it.”

I let a moment pass, to calm tensions, but if he continued to threaten me and my loved ones, I would have to kill him.

“Please let me come in, I wish to make amends,” I said convincingly.

“I said, no…”

I stared at the now silent red door for about a minute. They could hear me breathing and sighing. I was so loud, every second I was out of breath, I felt like my brain was dying as my vision grew blurry. The door suddenly bolted and unlocked. He was standing there, a second bolt on the door was held by a chain, allowing him to look into the stairs coming up. He stared at me, his red bloody eyes meeting mine. Seeing no one else in the immediate vicinity, he turned the lock, and allowed me in.

Straight away he leapt for his gun on the table, old that he was, he was still agile. I saw Susie and the other mysterious girl sitting like hostages on the floor, legs together, scrunched up to their chests of items and food. The other girl wore a dirty summer dress as her only piece of clothing, while Susie wore normal clothes for the weather outside, jeans and a jumper, the standard stuff. I wondered why she would wear such a freezing outfit? Why was she so out of place here?

There was an old large bed at the centre of the room, king size at least.

“Mr Davies, I-”

“Quiet, I’m thinking…” He said holding the musket to me.
