Chapter 21: My Sister

Traveling for days at a time, my eyelids start to grow heavy, and I must pull alongside the road before the next town.  Every day I have been texting her and leaving messages, but nothing.  Absolutely nothing.  I see hints of blazing red here and there, but nothing from my sister. 

One night, I even swear that I see the soul eater laughing at me from the box of the truck, but then I stop along side the road to check, and she is gone.  Not even a bone or a pool of blood are left behind, so I am pretty sure it was just a figment of my imagination.  However, I hear her claws drag across the top of the cab many times while driving along the empty roads on the way to my sister’s.

After five days, I finally reach my sister’s house and pull in the driveway.  Cautiously, I survey the area and notice several things.  One, her car is sitting next to the truck, and two all the lights are on but there is no movement in the house.
