The knives. I had to get to the knives.

There was a locked cabinet in the kitchen where they kept any utensils that could be used as weapons. I didn't think anyone in the Home would have been the violent sort, but I sometimes thought they were more worried we might use the knives on ourselves instead of on each other and I understood why they were locked away.

I didn't tell Eddie to run. I knew he wouldn't and I had learned that lesson during that awful film at Halloween. Eddie was here by my side and as much as I wanted him to just be safe, it made me feel stronger knowing he wouldn't leave me alone.

"Stay back," I said to the creature as I tried to edge toward the locked knife cabinet. I hoped Eddie knew where I was trying to go.
