"Run."
All Derek could hear was the voice of his mother in his ears telling him to flee. The look on her face, the fear in her eyes, he could see it all so clearly. She wasn't ready to die but willing to sacrifice herself for his own survival. She needed him to be strong for his sisters if she and his father were truly gone.
The thought was enough to make his eyes sting. It was far too soon to bury his parents and if Erica had her way then there wouldn't be anything left to fit in a matchbox. The tears finally started to fall as he continued to run down the dock. He was supposed to grab Johnny along the way be couldn't.
"Run Derek! Get Johnny and run to the car. Drive and don't stop driving no matter what!" Debbie yelled.
"No! Mom I'm not leaving you!" Derek argued.
"Damn it Derek! You need to be strong. For your sisters. They'll need you if...I'm gone."
He kept on running as fast as his legs would carry him until he reached the car. He quickly ran to the driver side door and slammed it shut once he was inside. He gripped the steering wheel tight as his vision became a watery mess.
The horrors of the night weren't lost on him. He might just lose both of his parents. His father could be drowning, his mother could become Erica's next meal. Sara would probably die next once the mad giantess had her fill and Johnny was all alone.
Something cracked deep inside Derek. He rubbed his eyes and took a look at the dock entrance in front of him. He also took a look in his rearview at the destruction the giants left behind. So many people dead, so many other people that could die if Erica wasn't stopped tonight. He pulled out his phone and greeted to a family photo.
His father smiling, his mother looking just as happy, his two sister giggling because they smashed his face into the birthday cake. It was precious moments like these that he took for granted and he could feel his resolve steel. He unlocked the screen and prepared the car. The engine roared to life and the lights flashed bright.
"Hold on mom. I'm coming."
______
Debbie couldn't recall the last time she felt so terrified. It was one thing to watch Erica from afar and another to be the center of attention. The madwoman before he was a whirlwind of fury who's only instinct was to kill. She'd already killed her husband.
An eye for an eye...
A tooth for a tooth...
A loved one of a loved one...
"You have no idea how long I've waited for this." Erica half giggled like a maniac.
"I think I can." Debbie began. "I certainly didn't make things easy for you, did I?"
The giantess shook her head. "No, you didn't and that's what's going to make this all the sweeter."
The older woman noted just how badly Erica's breath stunk. It smelled like the inside of a deli if the meat inside were to be left unattended. Not only that but there was crimson staining her teeth and little chunks of human meat caught in between. This wasn't the sweet woman she met earlier in the day, this was a monster birthed in the deepest pits of hell.
"Killing me won't bring Cody back!" Debbie spoke firmly.
"It won't." Erica agreed. "But it'll definitely make me feel better."
"Why everyone else then if your grudge is with me?" The older woman pushed.
Erica titled her head not unlike Michael Myers. "Because everyone else needed to feel my pain."
Debbie looked disgusted. "That's horrible!"
"You're horrible!" Erica corrected. "But you won't be for long. You won't be anything anymore."
The giantess's jaws opened and Debbie could see her death fast approaching. A black void from which there was no escape. She could see it now, her life flashing before her eyes. Meeting her husband, starting their family, nights out with the girls. All of those happy memories playing out like a scene in a movie. Her last thoughts then went to her son and how she told him to run.
He'd be the man of the house now.
It was all up to him to be there for his sisters.
"I wish I could've spent more time with all of you." Debbie cried.
That's when she heard it, the rev of an engine. Her eyes turned to the side and what she saw mad her jaw drop. It was the car they had all come to the harbor in and it was zooming off the roof of one of the buildings. Time seemed to trudge along as if wading through molasses. She could see the car, her son, and the look of raw determination on his face. It quite honestly reminded her of Steve in their younger years.
"But where is...?"
That's when it hit her. He hadn't run. He hadn't hid. He came back for her and was about to do something really stupid.
"Oh no!"
Time resumed, the car continued to fall, and crashed right on top of Erica's pink toe.
______
Johnny watched from the crane as Erica let out an ear-piercing shriek. The woman unintentionally tossed Debbie in the water and began hopping up and down trying to nurse her injured toe. The car had done a considerable amount of damage as the toe began to bleed. From the looks of it, the nail had been broken clean in half down the middle.
"Serves you right."
He then turned his attention back to the car that was now smoking on the dock upside down with horn blaring.
______
"Derek..." Lisa tried calling her brother but it went straight to voice message.
______
"D..." Nicole also tried calling but was met with the same result.
All the two sister were left with was a single text... three words.
I luv U.
