Fallen Leaves

Emily Demuerta Is A Young College Student Ready to Take A Drive From New York To Her Home In Georgia But What If What She Finds When She Get There Isnt What she Was Hoping For ... At All

 

Autumn ... for her it was like a religion every fall when the leaves turned bright orange she felt whole inside of her as if something in the air smelled better felt better made everything better . She would take it all in on the scenic route home from New York to Georgia.

She would be there soon, with her mother and her sweet pumpkin pie with cool whip on top, her dad and the boys rooting for the cowboys even though they weren’t from Dallas. She would be there soon and everything would be just right. She was a Georgia peach ready to marry a southern gentleman ,there was nothing like a fairytale ending and she would get hers. She attended art school in New York and of course he played for The Georgia tech football team. Things couldn’t have been any better, well maybe things weren’t exactly perfect. The autumn air was nice but it only healed her pain for a little while ,sha had been engaged once before but  lost her last fiancé . He and mysterious blonde women were both found murdered in his home. Although she mourned his death, she was glad she was  in New York so she didnt have to witness the horrific crime scene or deal with being a suspect in the case.  She didn’t know what hurt her more ,the pain that he was gone or the thought of what he and the blonde women were doing together when they were murdered,but being a strong southern Woman she picked back up and moved on. She was ready to be married and finally be happy and it was beautiful, The luke warm air waved through her long brown hair as she turned the key and started the car and her journey back home. Her only regret was that she hadn’t charged her IPod so shed only have a little music before silence took over and she'd be all alone. The scenic route wasn’t a popular choice but it was one of those things in life that she may never get a chance to do again after she’s married off and has children.Taking a long drive all the way through the south in the beautiful autumn air how could she pass up on that. The Road trucked on and thoughts of her old life began tugging at her, the IPod had died and the radio was switching from station to station as she crossed state lines ,country stations became rock and roll and rock and roll became oldies. It was just past dusk when she began to think of Allan the former love of her life ,just like her current fiancee he too was a football player for Georgia tech, he had dark brown hair big brown eyes a muscular build and a sweet southern accent. How could she not fall in love with a man like that, as memories of their life past by her ,memories like the scenes she past with her car, the night took over the sky. It was very dark on these back country roads every time she passed a cornfield she shuttered at the thought of what the darkness and malice a cornfield could hide but pushed it from her mind and drove on. As she thought to herself about what color shed have her bridesmaids wear, her radio lit up and the dial turned furiously through stations she heard rap and classical music, country and heavy metal with a few muffled voices in between the static until the dial fixed she heard a woman singing and her heart sank inside of her chest,

 

“Cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t

You can’t make your heart feel something it won’t

Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I’ll feel the power”

 

It wasnt that she hated the song ,she just felt a tug inside of her when the song came on. It wasnt like someone was singing a song on the radio ,it felt more like someone was speaking straight into her heart.She quickly shut the radio off and shook off the overwhelming feeling of fear that washed over her, she passed another cornfield and her heart shuttered again her high beams began to dim and she turned around a sharp bend. The dial on the radio began furiously dialing again as her headlights continued to dim. It dialed again until it found the song a second time in a few minutes

 

“Cause I can’t make you love me if you don’t
you can’t make your heart feel something it won’t
here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and I’ll feel the power”

 

She began to feel sick and worried ,the headlights s**t off compltely as the car putted and spattered and finally shutdown.She couldn’t be stuck here in the middle of these creepy cornfields with no headlights and a ghost radio that seemed to have a flame for Bonnie Raitt . The battery to her car died right there on this dark southern road in the middle of nowhere. Of course her cell phone had no signal in this distant backwoods area, and there were no lights and no life in sight just corn and more corn in fields to the side of her car. She dreaded what she was about to do but decided to make the trek through the corn to try and get to the person who owned the corn in the hopes of finding a phone, calling triple A and being in her fiancee's arms eating Pumpkin Pie. She knew she wasnt far from her house because her parents neighbors owned big cornfields like this problem is back here everyone lives miles from each other. Hopefully the house she found would be one her neighbors and they’d just drive her to her house and she'd worry about her car later. With high hopes and no more than a cell phone to light her way she pushed through the first few stalks of corn. A few feet into the maze she heard rustling ahead of her she had never hoped more that what she heard what just a wild animal and not an axe murderer. The farther into the cornfield she got she began to hear sobbing ,thank god she thought, another person maybe we can help each other. She jogged toward the sobbing and came to a small patch of the corn field that was bare with no corn just grass and broken stalks, in the middle was a nurse in a starched white uniform not like a modern nurse in a sponge bob scrub top but a nurse straight out of the fifties or an insane asylum ... She reached down and tapped the starch white nurse on the shoulder, "is everything ok" she asked in a shaky voice.The nurse whipped her head around furiously, her face was black and her eyes were hollow and seemed to be emitting a ghostly light. The twisted nurse screamed with A Shrill and haunting voice ."I’m just here to help you”, she shrieked. Emily began backing up frozen by the fear of this encounter. The nurse walked toward her her body contorted and shaking as if she was the one in fear,She didn’t want to stick around to find out what the nurse meant about "helping her" she just ran as hard as she could. She ran through the corn field until she saw light and then she slowed afraid of what shed find. Behind the light she heard a sound tit was a voice singing softly as if singing a lullaby it was male

 

“Cause I Can’t Make You Love Me If You Don’t”

 

She was terrified to continue but even more terrified not too. As she approached the bright light closer and closer she noticed it was a house ,that’s where the sound was coming from as she got closer she noticed the house was her parents thank god she thought I’m saved. She walked in the front door it wasn’t locked and slightly jarred she could hear the singing coming from an upstairs room but in the hopes to find her parents she searched the home. “Mom ... Mom its Emily I’m home, Dad... Dad “Nothing just the now annoying singing coming from upstairs. When she approached the kitchen she hoped deeply that her mother would be inside making pumpkin pie and she would just wake up from this nightmare. As she pushed open the swinging door into the kitchen she saw her father and mother lying there on the floor with stab wounds bleeding all over the kitchen floor. She screamed grabbed a knife off the kitchen counter and ran again she ran to the next building in the background it looked like a smaller house ,maybe a inlaw suite . She could still here that stupid song she couldn’t get it out of her head now. She reached the home the door was again easily acsessable she pushed it open and ran around the house screaming HELP ME HELP PLEASE!!!! No one came to aid her she ran up the stairs there was a door that was open with sound coming from it so loudly it was that f*****g song again blasting at an insane volume, She entered ready to face this thing, whatever it was. There she saw her fiancee lying there with a woman ,a beautiful blonde headed woman, just like her last love they had both been stabbed multiple times it was reliving the broken and bruised past all over again ..... On The dresser over by where the radio was blasting “I can’t Make You Love Me” were newspaper clippings one read,

Ms.Demuerta was delusional even through the court process ,coming dressed all in black mourning the loss of her fiancée and own parents when really she had killed The Ridgeways and Their Son.The judge ruled her unfit for trial and sentenced her to life in a criminal psychological facility in New York so that she could have the proper treatment that she obviously needed .

The Article continued but Emily just dropped the article, she heard approaching footsteps, the room began to melt away and the walls were all completely white there were medical instruments and a bed. She heard a loud siren and saw a flashing red light. She quickly realized she was back at the mental facility in New York and ran over to the siren and light to turn it off. She still had the scalpel in her hand that she had stolen off the table in the other room. She heard voices outside,  “she’s got to be around her somewhere I can’t believe she escaped again ,this is the third time this month “. When things got quiet she ran for it there was a small booth with a nurse sitting between her and the front door she snuck into the little room slit the nurses neck and took her sweater and pants put them on . She tied her hair up with a few of the nurses bobby pins .. looking normal she was able to avoid exposure due to the panic of looking for a patient. She exited the building with ease.
