My Soul To Take Page #7

Leah, don't!

Don't listen to him!

Get out of my way!

Now you're

going to get it!

Leah!

Leah.

Freeze!

Open the door, you little b*tch!

Get over here.

We got a live fetus.

Open

the door

for Daddy!

You did good, Mama.

We'll take good care

of your boy.

Leah?

Go away.

Open the door, Leah.

Do you want to die?

Get out of my room!

F***!

There.

We're even.

Where did you get that?

There's a revolution

going on, Fang.

Hi.

Hi.

Hello?

Is Leah okay?

Leah's fine.

Are you? You look...

I know you're

not my mother.

Bug, I'm so sorry.

I never meant...

I hope you know

something, too.

What?

That you are my mom.

That one you're stuck with,

like it or not.

Fang, you still there?

Are you still there?

Are you okay?

Maria just called.

They found Jay Chan

in the river this morning.

No!

Penelope Bryte near

the old ambulance.

Brandon and Brittany

in the woods nearby.

I was a total sh*t to

her today, and she's dead.

How can that be?

You know how that can be, May.

Our father is still alive.

Let's wait to see

what really happened.

What's really

happening, May,

he's killing his way

through the Riverton Seven.

He'll get Jerome, and Dunkelman,

and then he'll come for us.

No.

We'll go to the church

and be with the others.

I'll go to church

with you, May.

But this is the last time.

And I'm sorry,

but I had to tell him.

I'll get the car

and be out front.

Get Bug, okay?

Bug.

Leah?

Ready?

F***.

I figured you'd come.

Really? Have you heard?

I've heard.

I've heard a lot.

Oh?

The Riverton Ripper,

Abel Plenkov?

Yeah?

He was my father.

That I know.

You do?

The parents of all

the seven know.

I think I'm the only kid.

My mother told me

the day she died.

Why didn't anyone tell me?

Sorry, we thought

you were too...

I don't know.

Innocent?

I guess.

Well, I'm not anymore.

Yeah. I can see that.

Who beat you up?

Fang.

Figures.

Penelope sent me

a letter.

A love letter?

No.

She wrote to warn me that

he'd be coming back for us.

My father.

She had a source.

Oh, yeah.

She say anything else?

She said that there are two

ways that he can come from.

One,

if he survived 16 years ago, then

he'll come back as Abel Plenkov.

Dad.

Option two?

Option two is he did die

and his soul

went into one of the seven kids

who were born the night he died.

Hopped the nearest bus.

In this version, he's one

of us killing all the rest.

Attack from the

unexpected direction.

Yeah.

There's not many of us left

to be unexpected, though.

You, me and Jerome.

Jerome's not a

very good candidate.

Mmm-mmm.

So, you or me.

That's option two.

Well,

I like option one better.

Makes more sense.

The Ripper who

was stabbed and shot

had a little fender-bender,

ended up in the river, no biggie.

He patched himself up

with stuff from the ambulance.

Survives on acorns

and crawfish for 16 years.

So he just crawled

out of the river

in a rotting overcoat

to take his revenge.

I'll just call the cops and

tell them to keep an eye out

for the Unabomber's

evil twin.

Or not.

What's that?

The biggest knife

I could find in the kitchen.

Bug...

What would you say

if I told you I was

going to kill you, Alex?

I'd say you weren't.

Why not?

Because you're

my best friend.

You're Bug.

Now you ask me.

You don't think

I could kill somebody?

No.

You'd be wrong, Bug.

Dead wrong.

You killed Penelope

and Jay?

And the others?

Of course not.

I killed my stepfather.

You killed Quint?

He was drunk.

He hit me.

For the first time in my life,

I hit him back.

Fell down the steps

and broke his stupid neck.

Alex, it's okay, okay?

No, it's not okay!

What I did... It's not okay for everybody

to be killing each

other all the time!

You don't want

something to drink?

You got rat poison?

No, we just ran

out of rat poison.

I'm going to go get you water.

What is this?

Alex, I'll be right...

Ripper?

Son of a b*tch!

Drop the knife, Bug.

Now.

Kick it over to me.

I'm sorry, I thought

you were somebody else.

Get your hands up.

Up.

Walk slow.

Why are you

pointing that at me?

That is far enough.

Why?

Your phone was found next to

Brittany Cunningham's body.

It fell into her

purse at school.

That was an accident.

You can ask my mom.

Your mom is why

I have to arrest you, Bug.

Mom!

Easy!

Stay there.

I was there

when they cut you out

of your mother, Bug.

You were the one thing that made

the whole bloody mess bearable.

A f***ing...

Miracle?

Yes!

Something bright in the dark.

And ever since,

for all of us that were there,

Bug, that's what you've been.

F***. How could you do this?

I didn't.

Hold out your hands, son.

Where's my sister?

Why don't you tell me?

It's time.

They never should've cut

you out of your dead mother.

What happened

to your wings, angel?

F***ing piece of sh*t!

Where is the knife?

Shut the f*** up.

Shut up.

Come out, come out,

wherever you are.

Eww.

It's not as bad

as it looks.

How did you get away?

I was already in the car.

I came inside just to see where

May was, and I found her dead.

I knew that f***er

would come for us.

Maybe he's gone.

No, no, no.

Let's go.

I think we should...

Die! Die! Die!

I saved you

for last!

F***!

Leah, call the cops.

Son of a b*tch!

Hey. Leah, I need you to get the lights on.

Get out of the house, get to

the neighbors and call the cops.

You think you

can do that for me?

What are you going to do?

I'm going to give

that f***er a 10.

Make it a 20.

Ripper?

Sh*t!

Jerome! Jerome,

stop it! Jerome!

Hey, hey! Hey!

Hey.

Jerome.

Jerome.

The Ripper's up here, Bug.

Watch out.

It's okay, Jerome.

He's gone, all right?

What are you doing here? You're

supposed to be at the church.

Alex called me. He said all

three of us should be together.

Watch each other's backs.

I was halfway

through the window

when the Ripper stabbed me.

How did he get up here?

He must have come up

the rope like I did.

I passed out on the roof,

and then I came to

and I heard fighting.

Was that you?

Him and me. Yeah, it was.

He was kicking my ass, too.

I tried calling the cops

but I knocked over something,

and then I heard him

coming for me,

so I ducked

for the closet.

You saved my life, Jerome.

I did?

Yeah, he was going to kill me,

and then you distracted him.

Good.

Dude, it's going to be okay.

Help is coming, all right?

You fought the Ripper, Bug.

You're a hero,

like I told you.

I'm not a hero,

Jerome. I'm just...

Jerome?

Jerome?

What the f***

happened to you?

What happened to Jerome?

He's dead.

The Ripper got him.

A lot's happened since

you've been gone, Alex.

Where did you disappear to?

I saw Paterson

pulling up outside.

I ran. I hid in the woods.

Then I heard gunshots,

so I came back.

I was afraid he shot

you or something.

Where is he, anyway?

Downstairs. He's dead.

What?

What happened?

The Ripper happened.

He killed Mom, too.

May?

I can't believe this.

You went to get me
