Taken

Chapter 21

Henry and I finished cleaning the kitchen. It's been 2 hours, she should be dead, but each body is different.

"Hey why don't we go see if my mom's up?" said Henry.

"Okay" I said.

My heart was beating heavily. I felt like it was going to pop out. Henry's going to be in so much pain because of me.

We walked up the stairs and up to her door. He turned the knob and there laid a lifeless body on the bed.

"Good morning mom, we came to-" Henry said walking over to his mom, but at the sight of her in these conditions made his heart sink. His mouth was wide open, as if he had words to say, but he couldn't get them out.

"Nooooooooooo" "mommmm" "noooo""wake uppp!!!!!!!" Henry screamed at the top of his lungs. He shook her and touched her hair, he hugged her as well. I instantly fell to the floor. "What happened!!!" I yelled, I had to play it off.

"I don't know...I don't know...I just don't know...she was fine. Do you think it had anything to do with the food?" He said breathing heavily and tears falling down his cheeks.

"What do you mean the food?" I said scared.

"Well maybe the food wasn't cooked right or something I don't know but she was fine and now she's goneeee!!!!!!" He yelled and cried again.

"If it had something to do with the food, we would've all gotten sick though." I said trying to get away from the topic.

"Your right" he said wiping the tears from his face.

"Mom I know your still in there, I know you can hear me, I'm sorry for everything I did wrong, I'm sorry for the stress I caused you, thank you for the love you gave me, the way you took me in, the way you were always there for me in school, I love you so much, you might be gone from this world but your always and always and always going to be inside my heart, I can't even believe your gone, I mean 2 hours ago you were laughing and smiling with me, you had those bright eyes popping out of your head, that beautiful hair flowing and swaying back and forth, I just can't believe your gone mommy, I know how hard your life was and the struggles you went through. Even when you saved Valerie's life you told me the story over and over and over and every time I smiled with you. I loved every time we had together, every time we played, every time you hugged me and said you loved me. You took me in as a real parent, your the MVP mommy and I guess your time has came. Even though I don't want you gone things happen for a reason and it's your time so I just have to accept it. When you told me you left all this to me years ago, I decided I didn't want it, it's not right, but since your time came early I promise I'm going to stay exactly how you wanted me too. Everything you ever did was perfect and well this is our goodbye... I'm going to make you a huge funeral how you always wanted and burn your body and throw your ashes into the lake. I'm keeping my promises mommy. I can't even put all my words together, there's so much to say. I can't say goodbye. I-I-I I just canttttt!!!!!I love you so much mommy thank you for everything and sorry for everything I ever did wrong. Good bye" Henry said his last words. He had rivers coming down his eyes. He hugged Anna and laid on her chest. I felt so guilty and I can't believe I actually had the soul to kill someone. I feel so bad for Henry I knew he was going to be affected but never this bad. I had tears dropping from my eyes. This was all my fault.

"We have to start planning the funeral Valerie. We have to start right now. Call the cops and tell them everything that happened so we could start the funeral. She might not be with me, but I have her in my heart and she's going to stay there forever and ever." Henry said.

The cops? I never even planned that out. What's going to happen? Will they find out it was poison and that it was me???? My heart is racing so fast. I can't believe it.

"Valerie?" Henry said confused.

"Did you hear me?" He said again

"Umm yeah, sorry. I was just having some thoughts, you know about everything that is happening." I said lying.

"Okay well I'm going to call the cops and everything, and figure out everything about her body and all that. You just go up to your room please." He said turning away from me, heading into the living room.

"Okay" I said. I walked up to my room. But I had to check on the body. I got up and walked to her room. I opened the door and she laid in the same spot. I can't believe I was the cause of this. She treated me right. She never did anything wrong to me. I just felt like a hole was in my chest. I grabbed her hand. And said, "I'm sorry for what I did Anna . I know you didn't do anything wrong to me. I'm sorry, but my parents are looking for me, it was my only way out, I'm really really sorry, hopefully you can watch over me and forgive me, but I doubt that, I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry and I feel really guilty, I feel horrible, I feel as if I'm going to die of sadness and guilt, IM SORRY!!!" I yelled and started crying. I laid on her chest and grabbed her arm and put it around me. A few minutes passed by. I stood up and kissed her forehead and put the blanket over her eyes. I walked out of the room.

I was walking out the room when suddenly I saw a police man.

"Hi miss can we enter the room?" The officer said to me.

"Uhh-uhh-uhh yeah go ahead" I said stuttering.

"Okay thank you" the officer said walking in with other paramedics.

A few minutes passed, I was still standing by the door, just waiting.

"Miss can you come in?" The officer said

"Yeah" I said scared out of my life.

"Well you see she didn't die of old age or natural causes." The officer said.

I was so scared the plan back fired and that's what I deserved I killed her and needed to pay.
