Waste
With My Dying Breath Part 2
“I know how to end the Dead from walking the earth.”
“What are you talking about?” I asked as blood seeped out of his mouth.
“Your…mother is…the key.” I watched as his eyes started to close and I slapped him in the face.
“What does that mean?!” I yelled at him as the death rattle flooded my ears.
“Serenity?” I looked over at Brian as he stood there looking at me and my now passed father. I jumped up and ran into his arms not caring if I shed a tear. I hung onto him as I felt one of his arms raise and then the click of the hammer on the gun. I closed my eyes tightly as the shot rang through my ears.
“What did he say to you?”
“He told me he knew how to end the dead from walking the earth.” I said letting Brian go and looking down at my father’s corpse.
“What did he mean by that?”
“I don’t know. All he said was ‘Your mother is the key.’ Whatever the hell that means. His last damn words to me have to be a fucking riddle.” I said shaking my head and wiping the tears from my cheeks.
“We all will help you figure out what he meant. I’ll get the guys and a sheet and I’ll put him in the bed of your truck.”
“No uh there’s a Lowe’s right behind us. Load his body up in a small trailer and get some chains and hooks to attach it to the hitch.” I said and I bent down and pulled the wedding band from his finger and shoved it into my pocket. I rounded the corner as the rest of our gang came.
Felicity took one look at my face before running to me and looking down at our fallen father. I told Felicity what our dad had said before he breathed his last breath while Matt and Brian went over to the Lowe’s to get the trailer and Zacky got a sheet for the body. I helped Zacky cover up my father’s body and he carried his body out of the building. The others helped Felicity and I push the carts from the building and load everything into our vehicles. I led our group back to the house and I helped with wheeling my father over to the grave beside my mother.
He always wanted to be next to mom when he died and he’s getting his wish. It took us several hours to get the grave dug and the guys laid his body down into the hole. I looked down on his body and said some somewhat comforting words for my broken heart. As Dante, Uncle Lucas, Matt, and Jacob filled the grave with dirt, I went into the house with Felicity and we went through our things.
“Dante, Matt, Uncle Lucas, and Jacob are taking the night watch tonight so we don’t have too.”
“Good idea. I know my mind won’t be in the right place. I think I’m just going to go ahead and get some sleep.” I said yawning.
“I’ll see you in the morning for breakfast.” I nodded and left the kitchen and ascending the stairs. I entered my bedroom shutting the door behind me and going over to the bed. I could feel the tears coming into my eyes as I placed a hand over my mouth to make sure no one could hear me. I fell back on the bed crying into my hands. I’ve lost my mother to these sons a bitches and now my father. What the fuck else are they going to fucking take from me and my sister?
