My Victim, My Beloved

Police station. The day was just the same just like other days, sunny and bright. Emily's P.O.V. “What is the update on the case?” I asked. “There hasn’t been any update ma'am, we haven't been able to find out anything, the other officers are following the trail from the beginning”. “Okay has the post-mortem arrived,” I asked while taking a sip of my coffee. “Yes ma'am, it is with the doctor”. I walked to the mortuary, and a strong bad odor hit me, all my years as an officer I never got used to this. The mortuary was big, it was quiet and dark the only shed of light was the small bulb right across the room, the white tiles all around the room made it look creepy, dead bodies all around the room with tags on them, some bodies haven't been claimed yet. The doctor stood in front of the body holding the reports. Doctor Andrew is in his mid-thirties, he is dark, body built he has a frown on his face, and he had a straight pointed nose, I would have liked him if he wasn’t completely bald. “Officer Black,” He said. "Doctor, Good morning". "Morning". “Doctor what do I have to know about the body?”. He let out a breath before speaking. “She died between 2 am-3 am on the 3rd of this month, her death was brutal”. “She died three days after her kidnap, why did he wait for three days until he killed how was she killed?" I asked. “ if you look at the marks on her body,” He said while pointing at her hands and shoulders. “The victim was raped but the marks on her hands show that she was tired but she tried to struggle, she was drunk I found traces of alcohol in her blood, she was raped multiple times to the extent her organs got damaged”. “Any DNA or sperm particles or fingerprints found on her body”. “no, she was cleaned with alcohol after the rape”. "The rape led to her death". "No!." “What led to her death?”. “Internal bleeding and she was strangled with a rope to an extent it crushed her windpipe”. “How old is she?”. “fifteen years old”. “Could you give the file containing all the information to Officer Lewis”? “Yes, ma'am”. This was the fifth case this week, Girls have been murdered every week, and The city wasn’t saved anymore, I was worried about which kind of psycho will do that to someone, who murders brutally. I felt sick in the stomach, I felt disgusted. The police station was covered with posters of missing people, some were found dead while some are still missing. The killer has been on a run for a long time, we have tried everything to look for him, it is like he knows how to get away from things, he never leaves any evidence, not even a single mistake. A few weeks ago a body was found in the well, she was found naked, and people complained of a strange smell coming out of the well. I was on my way to my office when I saw officer Lewis, Lewis drinking a cup of coffee and flirting with one of the security guards. Lewis is tall he has this serious aura around him, Lewis didn't smile much, he isn’t muscular nor is he body built, he is slim, he is soft, and sensitive, Lewis couldn’t stand the sight of blood, he became an officer so he could get justice for his sister and other people that we’re killed just like her. Lewis tried a lot to get to his sister’s killer’s but he couldn’t get to them, he never wanted any officer to join him in the case and no one did. I had no idea what they did to her. Or who were the people I tried asking Lewis a few times but he didn’t give me an answer and after some few years he stopped tracking her killers and gave up? “Hey,” I said getting his attention. “collect the information regarding the body from the doctor and get me the file containing the information about the missing girls”. “Sure ma'am”. I entered my office, it was spacious, there were files scattered on the wooden desk, the walls are painted navy blue, photo frames of great officers hung all around, a huge couch right across the room, a carpet in the center, everything in the room matched the painting. My nameplate was beautifully kept on my table. Miss. Black. I preferred my first name “Emily”. We haven’t been able to find out about the body, It has been a whole week since no one has come to claim the body, I was arranging all the files when I heard a knock. “come in." Officer Lewis came in, his beautiful blue eyes looked tired, and his eyes said a lot, one could read his mind just by looking at his eyes, his shoulders were high indicating he was tensed and stressed, he came close to me, and I could smell his scent, he smelt like roses. I like it. “Ma'am here are the files,” he said while handing them over to me. His breath smelt like mint my inner voice said. "You look stressed ma'am". He said. "Just been a very tough week, Any missing case today” “no ma'am”. “any information about the body and any information about the girl that got kidnapped”. “No information about the body”. He said while taking a seat. “Sara knight got kidnapped, her parents are coming tomorrow so we can get more information about her”. "Any information about how she got kidnapped". "Not yet ma'am the officers are on it, the last people that saw her are being questioned". "What are we missing?, Why is he always ahead of us?". He just looked at me, he didn't say a word, just inform our informers we need to know more about this kidnap”. “Yes, ma'am”. Today has been a hectic day, the media is making a fuss out of this, Sara the daughter of one of the richest businessman got kidnapped last night, and we still haven’t been able to stop all the kidnaps that have been happening all these weeks, the police has been blamed for every unfortunate happening, we need to protect our people.

She sat down on the floor quietly, slowly wiping her tears with her hand, she thought what went wrong?, what does all the bad things happen to her?, Didn't she deserve happiness, she was lost in her thoughts when he came in to continue from where he left off. Her heart pounded when she perceived his scent, her heart as if she ran a marathon. She wanted to run away, she wanted to hide from this devious monster. “Oh Sara, my beloved Sara,” he said while coming closer to her, the strong smell of Alcohol hit her nostrils, she could perceive his perfume, he smelled like vanilla but in a terrible way, almost like vanilla mixed with a hint of weed. Sara wanted to run, she wanted to hide from him but she couldn’t, she moved back a little bit so he won’t touch her, she kept moving until her back touched a hard wall, she thought at first it was a wall but when she felt warm watery breath on her skin, she knew it was him. She couldn’t see anything all she felt was his hands roaming on her body. She never felt this useless in her life, all her life she wanted happiness but all she got was hatred, tears, and broken life. “Please..s..stop, Don't do this," she said. “No”. He shouted. "Please don't do this, I beg you, I'm begging you, stop, stop it". He didn't care about her cries, and went deaf to her pleas, His hands went down to her thighs messaging them, then he went up and up until his hands reached her panties, he moved them and started rubbing her p***y, he took her off guard when he inserted two fingers into her and began pumping in and out of her. She hated every bit of it, she screamed, she begged, she cried but he didn’t stop. He kept tormenting her with his fingers. She kept crying until she got tired, she tried to stop him but she was tied, she remained still and allowed him to continue what he was doing, he was about to take off her panties when she spat on his face. “f**k, how dare you?, You b**ch, ” his voice was loud, she knew she has woken the devil. “I'm..I'm. Sorry”. “That won’t fix it”. “I’m gonna teach you a lesson b***h, you will never forget what happened today?". He said harshly, he used a tissue to clean the mess on his face. He stood up roughly and left the room, she was scared, she wondered what he was going to do? , he wasn’t back for hours she started falling asleep when a thick rubber made contact with her skin, making her wake up. The rubber hit her again, she let out a scream. She is used to being hit, it was like a daily routine in her house, everyday her step-mother would hit her, she never said anything, she attempted suicide a lot of times but failed miserably, she recalls her stepmom's words. Flashback. She mistakenly dropped her stepmother's phone which made the screen crack, she is so mad at me, she could hear her heavy footsteps, she was coming towards her room, she didn’t know what to do? she sat on her bed thinking about the horrible things she could do to her. She roughly opened her room and dragged her off my bed. “How dare you b****h? Why did I even adopt a problem like you?" she yelled, next thing she knew she felt a hot skin make contact with her cheek, it hurt so bad, all she could do was cry and beg. Her step-mom slapped her countless times, she took out the belt from her trouser. "Take off your shirt" She shouted. Sara did as she was told, she turned around so her back would face her step-mom. The rubber made contact with her naked skin. "I'm sorry, please stop it, it hurts, I'm so sorry mom, it won't happen again". "Shut up, this will teach you a lesson" she hit her again, Sara was soon out of tears. “no food for you today, you are a curse, you are useless, you are a failed product, you are a problem, your mother must be happy she abandoned you," her stepmother said while leaving her room. She sobbed, she had no one to clean her wounds, she cried until darkness consumed her. she wasn’t given food that day nor the day after. She used make-up to hide her wounds so no one would see them in school. End of Flashback. “I’m back Sara, did you miss me?” He said, he was holding a whip, he kept the whip in a hot water to make it painful when it touches her. He dragged her by her neck, he pushed her on the hard floor, she landed on her face, she tried standing up but it was hard. The whip made contact with her skin again, he kept hitting her until she stooped shouting. Her body was red marked with wounds, her wrist was marked with black marks, and her body screamed pain. "Please...please...I'm sorry. Don’t do this, I'm sorry, I'm sorry". "We are just starting baby doll, you will be sorry later". She thought he was done but little did she know he just got started, the beast just got unleashed, he took out the knife from the fire and laid it on her delicate skin, he placed the knife deep into her skin, which made a permanent mark on her body, she was already bleeding but he didn’t seem to care, her cries were music to his ears, he found happiness listening to her screams. "Ahhhhhh. I'm sorry, please stop. Don't do this". Her screams soon sounded like a whisper, her body couldn't produce any more tears, she trembled, she let him keep hitting her until darkness consumed her.

FlashBack. “Mom, please, mom am sorry,” I said when she roughly fully pushed me, making me land on a wooden chair. “I am not your mother” shouted while lighting a candle. She came closer with the candle sited in her right hand. She placed the candle on my lap making the hot oily substance drop on my lap. It was burning my skin. Why did I wear shorts today? “Am sorry, I didn’t know Alice will do that” I bit my lips to stop more tears from dropping. Mom only rolled her eyes every time I spoke. Alice is my best friend or should I say my best friend. Alice is the only one that knew what I was going through, she has been there for me all the time. Today Alice made a huge decision without asking me. She reported to the police, and she told them about what I was going through, and how my foster parent abused me. When the officers came, mom was very furious, she tried to convince them that nothing was happening. Dad and mom made it look like Alice was mentally unstable, she needed help, I was forced to testify in court, and I lied about Alice. Believe me, I wish I could help her, I wish I could stop everything from happening, But that day Dad gave me two options. Alice's death Or Alice is to be taken to the asylum. After some days Alice was taken to the mental asylum for treatment, I go there every day to beg for her dedication, I can never forgive myself for what happened to Alice, she only wished good for me. “am sorry Alice, I am". I tried visiting Alice in the asylum but she refused to meet me. End of FlashBack. I woke up with someone softly shaking me. “Wake up, wake up” I heard a faint voice. I slowly opened my eyes to be welcomed with darkness, I was having a nightmare again. “Are you up” I heard the voice again. It seemed like a girl's voice. “Who are you?.” I said to the voice that woke me up. “your new friend”. I was confused when realization was drawn to me, the new friend he was talking about, the girl that saved me from almost being raped. But what if she is like him? what if she will do bad things to me? My body hurt from last night's events, I tried moving but it hurt more. “Will… you… hurt... Me” I said while stammering. I heard a short laugh “no”. She seems nice, maybe she will let me. “Will you let me go?” I said already knowing the answer. She didn’t say anything for almost two minutes, I thought she won’t speak but she did. “No, he will kill me if I do,” she said. I turned my attention to the noise my stomach was making, I am starving, and I was about to ask her for food when she spoke. “I can take off your blindfold if you want”. Yay, do it. “Yes”. My blindfold was immediately taken off, My vision was a little bit blur, I tried blinking my eyes so that I could see properly, The room is small, very small, It was almost like we were in a box, it was painted brown . Who paints a room brown, that's odd. There were lights all around the room making it so bright, there was this hammer and other tools scattered on the floor. There are no windows but there was one wooden door. I was right I was sited on a hard concrete floor. I turned to the left to look at my savior. She isn’t what I expected, she looked crazy, she is fair, her hair was scattered and messy, she bit her lips and she was playing with her dress. She kept scratching her hair and talking to herself occasionally. She seems mentally unstable If she is what I think she is, I will be able to track her easily. “Hi,” I said making her look at me. “Hello”. How do you make a crazy person obey you? I don’t know what to do. or how to talk to her? That is when I got an idea. “I'm Sara, what’s your name”. “Evelyn”. "That is a good name". "Really?". "Yes, you know I have a sister named Evelyn, she loves to cook and explore food. Lie, I don't even have a sister my inner voice said. "Wow! That's amazing, I love food a lot, your sister seems like fun". “ yes she is, what do you like doing” I suddenly ask her. ‘hmmm... I like dressing up” she said. That gave me an idea. “I love dressing up too, would you like me to dress you up”. She nodded a “yes”. “but for that, you will have to untie me”. “no, you will run”. “I won’t, I promise” I gave her my best puppy eyes. “ok”. She stood up and turned me around, she began untying my hands and then my legs once she was done. “ok let's dress up, I love pink it's like the best color ever." She said. I nodded and smiled when I got I pushed her roughly on the floor but not so hard to hurt her I used that opportunity to grab the ropes and tie her. She was trying to say something but her voice hardly came out. I took the hammer to advance to the door, There was a huge lock on the door, it was locked from the inside, I used the hammer to break the lock. It's not as easy as they show it on TV my inner voice said. A slow creepy sound came along as I opened the door, I was welcomed by trees, and I was about to step out when I heard a voice. “Where do you think you are going?" The voice was loud. I didn’t dare look behind to see who it was, I decided to do what Alice will always say. “Run, Run fast, and don’t look back”.

Zack's P.O.V. Mature content. I grabbed her ass with my left hand, slowly grinding her core to my shaft, I captured her lips in a second, the kiss was hot, I grabbed her boobs softly pressing and teasing her erect nipples, I sucked her tits while squeezing the other one and harshly pressing it. “Ah, fuck baby” she moaned, “go deeper, faster”. I went on faster, bringing her close to me, her back was rested on the bed, and she kept moaning and begging for release. I was about to cum when my bedroom door flung open, revealing someone I didn’t want to see now. Dad. “Oh, shit,” I said while trying to cover myself. His green eyes met mine. My dad stood there looking at us, he was there for a minute then he left, I quickly got off the blondie immediately wearing my pants. “umm. Emily, I have to leave” I said but she only rolled her eyes. “It's Polly jerk”. I waited for her to get dressed and after a minute she left, I knew why my dad came we’re leaving today, we had to move to a new town due to dad's big mouth, Last month was the election, he was going against peter Queen, peter is more powerful than Dad, peter wanted to destroy dad by all means, during their speech, they made a deal whoever loses has to leave the town and never come back. So stupid and immature of them. Dad was so arrogant he agreed and well we all can see who won the election. I had a last look at my home, where I grew u, I had a lot of memories attached here, I loved this town, I had few friends, and most people avoided me because of my character, Everyone saw me as a playboy, a guy that doesn’t value girls, who sleep around and spoils every girl's life, a man that values his money more than anything. Believe that cause that is true, I don't care about their emotions, I always tell girls don't get attached but they do. I have never touched a girl without her permission, I always get consent first. I don't rape that's stupid. I keep forgetting their names, not my fault. Being one of the richest and most successful businesses men came with benefits every girl wanted me and well I got every girl I wanted, I managed all of Dad’s business and his every company. Everyone still thinks am a terrible person, a bad person but I barely care about those kinds of people, being the only child of my parents I have gotten everything I always want be it girls, money, or cars. I got it all. I had a last glance at my hometown. I quickly pulled out my phone when I saw a text from Bryan. Bryan is one of my closest friends, we met when he came for a job opening in my office, I gave him the job and well I met him a couple of times at one of those fancy parties and from there we became good friends. Bryan is quite a nerd and very sensitive that why does he keeps getting played by those girls? A typical nerd with glasses, goofy hair, baby blue eyes, baggy clothes, and an office bag. Bryan: Hey, have u left yet? Zack: yes, could you do something for me Bryan: anything for you man. Zack: I need your help, Research this new town I’m moving to. I want to know where I can get the best business deals and best plot deals. Bryan: Sure anything for you. Zack: Take care of my company for me. Bryan: sure thing. Bryan is a tech freak, he knows everything about the internet and computers, There is nothing he can’t find up there. I wanted to know how the town was, but Dad refuse to tell me anything. I didn’t have any time to look up the town on the internet, leaving the town I had to arrange everything and I needed to leave my company in the hands of someone I trust. I slept through the whole trip, I saw a huge mansion in front of me, it was isolated from the town, there were trees all around it, and it had like over two houses nearby but all the trees made it a little hard to see those houses, my dad liked a quiet place where there are not many people. The house was beautiful, there were flowers all around it. The living room is painted royal blue, there were large glass windows all around the house, and one gets a beautiful sight. The floor is made of sea-decorated ceramic tiles all the room. A chandelier hung at the center of the room, it was so large and beautiful, the living room was large beautiful Italian chairs sat in the room with a large carpet at the center. On the left there was a bar with all kinds of liquor, there were stools around the bar. I looked to the right to see a small study. "I would be going to my room.” My dad said bringing me out of my thoughts. I nodded an “okay”. The sun was shining, it was so bright. The town seems a little quiet, I quickly went into my room to freshen up and start dad's stupid tradition. Dad has this tradition where I take Shepard’s pie to our new neighbor as an I’m your new neighbor gift, Mom started this tradition a long time ago and after she died, we decided to carry on with her traditions. I hate meeting new people I took my bath and lay on my bed to get a rest. Knock knock. I stood on my neighbor's porch waiting for them to open the door. “Come in” I heard a voice, it sounded motherly. I pushed the door to welcome myself into their home. It was big and beautiful, the walls were painted in Ash, with a large comfortable couch that was kept across the room, large television, and a beautiful carpet, their home was beautiful, everything in the house was in Ash. They must love the color a lot There was a weird door by the left of the room, the door was engraved with beautiful designs and writings, and there was a large symbol on the door. I was nearing the door when I heard a voice. “what are you doing?’ I turned to be welcomed by an elderly woman, she is fat her eyes are big, she is dark in complexion she has this motherly aura but she seemed weird. “Nothing, I’m sorry for snooping around” “No problem, have a sit,” she said while pointing at the chair. She seemed nice, I tried asking her about the door but she ignored the question, there was something strange about this woman.

Sara's P.O.V. I ran I didn’t look back, I couldn’t see anything apart from large trees, it was cold, and my stomach growled because of all the hunger. My heart pounded I was getting tired, my feet were weak, and I couldn’t run anymore. I was about to stop when I noticed a ray of sunlight there was a road, it wasn’t far. I limped towards the road, it was quiet, and I didn’t see any single person. I raised my hand waving to stop any car that comes. I couldn’t speak, my throat was dry, I tried shouting for help but I couldn’t. I couldn’t breathe properly, I was losing hope when I saw a car, I raised my hand trying to stop the car but all went in vain, I decided to go further before he sees me. I limped further trying to find a house or cottage or someone that can help me. I walked for hours but couldn’t find anything or anyone, Everywhere looked the same, trees all around. I stayed under a tree to take a rest when I noticed a house, it was far but I could see the roof, I was tired but I decided to walk further, the further I came the more I could see the house, it was close. I walked for over 5 minutes to get to the house, The house is large, and it looks beautiful, I was about to approach the door when I felt some hard touching my head, I raised my hand to touch my hair, and someone hit me. Before I could figure out who it was I fainted. Police Station. Officer Emily's P.O.V. She sat putting one leg on top of another, she wore a royal blue gown, it was so tight she looked so uninterested in everything that was going on, she held a cigarette in her hand, she slowly took the cigarette touching her lips, she looked like she was in her mid-forties, she was fair had pimples all over her face, she wore makeup it was too much. Who dresses like this when her daughter is missing? She seems a bit weird though. I called her last week to inform her to meet me so we could talk about her daughter, She made excuses of being busy but yet she still had to come today. “Let me cut it short, Did you kidnap your daughter, or Did you do it yourself? Or you got someone to do it for you”. Any officer would ask her that question if she keeps dressing like this and gives giving this stupid attitude. She gave me a cold glare after she adjusted her sitting position. “I don’t understand what you mean officer, I have been worried about my angel for days and now that you can’t find her you are blaming Emma”. That's why you are dressed fancy. My inner voice “Your action doesn’t say the same Mrs. Knight”. I was pretending to be tough, well don’t blame me I'm just 22 years. I try and pretend am tough to scare the criminals. “What do you mean?, What are you trying to say?”. “Your daughter has been missing for days and you are all dressed up and Mr. Knight can’t even come to the police station because he is busy” She looked quiet, I was hitting the spot “ and Mrs. Knight you tell me what kind of mother will you be when I have to force you to come to talk about your daughter and Mrs. Knight based on this pictures, you seemed happy last night,” I said taking out some pictures from the drawer. “it clearly shows you are okay with your angel missing”. She looked at me with bitterness. “It still doesn’t prove anything and are you spying on me I could get you fired for that and Are you trying to accuse me of kidnapping my daughter, come on officer don’t be stupid " She shouted. “Don’t raise your voice, you are at the police station, not your house?” I said trying to sound serious. “and we are not spying on you”. And based on our reports there was a complaint on the 3rd of January last year, a girl named Alice reported an abuse case, it says here you abuse your daughter Sara and then after her report, she was no longer seen again” I said pointing at the report. She kept quiet for a while, it seemed like forever until she spoke. “Since you have carried out research, you must be aware the girl is mentally unstable and I feel sick I will like to take your leave, and please you better solve this case and stop pinning blames ” Lie. She quickly stood up, adjusting her dress. “I look forward to meeting you again,” I said taking my hand out for her to shake. She turned her heels and left. Last night she went to a party at a club, last few days I appointed informers to keep tabs on her, it is like she doesn’t care about her daughter and Mr. Knight keeps pressuring the police to find his daughter, I have reassured him three times that we will try our best and find her. It is a weird family, the mother seems like she doesn’t care about her daughter, she goes to parties and enjoys herself while the father seems like he can’t live without his daughter, I need to find out how their relationship is with Sara. I quickly pressed the intercom. “ officer Lewis,” I said softly. “yes, ma'am”. “get me information about this Knight family and arrange a meeting with Alice, every little piece of information is important”. “Yes, ma'am”. “And focus mostly on Mrs. Knight, I want to know everything about her, and everything she does, follow her steps and be her shadow.” “Ok ma'am, I will get the informers to start working”. I am sure Alice sure knows something about Sara's family, she is the missing puzzle to solve this kidnapping issue.

Sara P.O.V. Flashback. Dad met with an accident because of me, he needed to go to his client's house fast I suggested a shortcut, but he was speeding fast, and then his car hit a tree the accident was terrible. My stepmother is worried and sad, she says it is my fault everything bad thing happens and that she made a mistake adopting me. I woke up with a strong metallic scent hitting me, everywhere smelt of blood, My blood. Everywhere was hot, and she turned up the heat in my room and locked me up, I haven’t eaten for days, and I struggled to stand up to clean my wounds, I tried opening the windows for more ventilation but it seems like she locked them too. I was cleaning my wounds when my hair was grabbed. She is back my inner voice said. “I’m so sorry Mom, please don’t hurt me”. “It, 's not her Missy” I heard a loud voice, it was the dad he seemed pissed off. He tighten his grip on my hair, and slapped me on the cheek, he kept hitting me until I lost count, I couldn’t cry anymore, my body is tired from the contact pain. “look at me” He shouted still maintaining his grip on my hair, I didn’t look at him until he shouted again, I slowly raised my hair to look at him, there was a huge scar on his face, and his eyes were red, I quickly averted my eyes. “You ruined my face”. He shouted. “I’m sorry” sounded more like a whisper. He let out a laugh “ I will love to ruin your face but I need you in the future, so I will leave you a scar to remind you of this day”. Before I could register what he meant by that, I felt a hot liquid on my leg, it was burning me, and it felt like my whole body was on fire, I look down to see my leg smoking. He poured acid on my feet. I was unaware when he carried me to the bed and tied my hands and legs, I felt his hands go up to my neck, and he pressed my neck hard. “Y...You…You…are…choking…me” he didn’t stop, and I was soon out of breath, I tried struggling but all my effort went in vain. “Goodbye,” That was the last thing I heard before I collapsed. End of Flash Back. I woke up with the comfort of a soft bed and I shifted a little, which made my head hurt, my legs hurt from all the running, and realization drawn to me, I don’t remember having a comfortable bed, I used my hands as support to stand up, The room is large and beautiful, there was a king sized bed, a large carpet at the center of the room, the curtains were beautiful, the walls were painted royal blue. I got out of bed hoping to run from my kidnapper, I was about to approach the door when the door knob began turning. Someone is coming. I didn’t know where to go. I wanted to hide, but the door opened to reveal an old woman, she is dark and had large eyes. “How do you feel?” she said to me. “Good”. “I'm Maggie”. “I’m Sara”. She sat on the bed with the first aid kit, she tapped on the bed indicating I to come and sit, she seemed nice, and she treated my wounds without saying anything. “I will get you fresh clothes and food,” she said once she was done treating my wounds, she never asked me what happened?, or why I looked dirty. Something seemed weird about this woman, I was about to enter the bathroom when I heard voices, I tiptoed to the door to hear what was going on. I opened the door to reveal a large sitting room, it was painted in ash, the voices were coming from the weird door across the room, the door was well engraved, and there was a symbol on it. Sk. What does that mean? It seems weird and creepy. I neared the door and placed my ear on it, what I heard next terrified me. “the girl is here, come get her fast before I end up doing something” After that sentence, I didn’t want to hear the rest, I ran as fast as I could toward the door. Thank goodness the door is unlocked. I had no idea where to go. what to do? I noticed there were two other houses, I didn’t know which one I should choose. “where the fuck is she?” I heard a voice. She knows am gone. I quickly ran, I noticed a ladder attached to the house, I climbed the ladder as fast as I could, The balcony door was open, I quickly entered and closed the door. Maggie’s P O.V. He paced angrily across the room, He is mad I lost her, she ran away, and he is going to kill me today. “I’m sorry” He didn’t say anything he just gave me a cold glare, he treats me like trash, I'm his grandma but he hates my guts, he hates me more than he hates his mother. “I am so ashamed of you, how could you?” He said after a long quiet ten minutes. “she knows how I look?, Do you know what can happen? She can ruin me, every fucking thing could end in just a minute.” He shouted. “I’m sorry, I really am it won't happen again”. “Sorry is not going to fix anything, you are going to pay for anything that happens If I go down I'm taking you with me." He came closer to me and held my jaw roughly with his hand. “you have to find her in twenty-four hours just twenty- four hours, not a minute less not a minute more, or else I will kill you”. He pushed me making me almost break my arm, then he left.

Mental asylum... Officer Emily Black. It seemed creepy at first when she stepped into the asylum, the smell of medicines hit her nostril, it was getting uncomfortable for her, the walls seemed as if they were telling her something, telling her to run, to leave but she wanted answers, she knew Alex knows something about Sara, Sara's parents are definitely hiding a thing or two. She walked through the hallways, seeing men and women locked up, somewhere dancing, some smiling, some shouting for help, some trying to drag her with them, and some talking to themselves. She was told Alice is a special case and she was kept separately from others, far away locked up in the basement, after begging and pleading with the officers and doctors in charge of the mental asylum they finally agreed to allow her to be Alice but she had to be very careful. She stood in front of the door, but only the door separated her from Alice, she let out a breath and placed her hand on the handle about to open the door when she was dragged and pinned to the wall. She let out a scream when she realized she was pinned by a strange-looking man, he wore white almost like a uniform and there was a name tag. Lucas. It took her a minute to realize she was trapped by a man with mental issues, she tried getting out of his grip but he was rather too strong, he held her tight digging his nails into her flesh, he looked terrified, he looked like someone was following him, maybe someone is trying to kill him. “Help me please, Help me. He wants to kill me, he is here.” Lucas said almost spitting on her face. “just calm down, calm down Lucas no one is going to hurt you, I will help you, no one is over there”. “I can see him. He will kill us all he shouted.” He grabbed her hands tightly. Fuck he might end up killing her. She tried distracting him to get out of his grip and she succeeded, she pushed him and pinned him to the floor, he tried struggling to get out of her grip but his effort all went in vain, she turned his hands on his back and handcuffed him. “Miss Black are you okay?” a voice said, she turned and saw the doctor, he had an injection in his hands, he quickly went up to Lucas and injected him making him unconscious. Minutes later the ward boys came with a stretcher and took Lucas. She looked back at Alice’s door, she knew it was now or never, she didn’t know how to react. or what to say to her? She sat on a chair in a white room waiting for Alice to be brought by the doctor, The room was all white, and the only thing in the room was a chair, a table, and a telephone on the table. the doctor came and dropped Alice carefully handcuffing her to the chair making sure all is well then he left. “Alice, how are you doing?”. She asked, Alice, looked down she didn’t want to look up, she took a few seconds before she responded. “I'm fine, who are you?”. Alice asked. “I’m a new friend, I just have some questions for you, will you answer”. She was nervous, this is her first case dealing with a mental patient, and she never trained for this. "I don't want any friends, friends lie. I hate friends." Alice shouted. "Ok, I'm sorry," Emily said. "I'm not your friend but Alice will you answer some questions for me please." “Yes, I will”. Alice seemed gentle and nice, she answered most questions without hesitation. "Alice where are your parents?." Emily asked her with a straight face. "I don't have one that died in an accident". "Do you have any friends Alice?" "No! I hate friends they are evil, they pretend and they don’t care about you at all". Alice yelled, she seemed annoyed and angry by the question. “Alice do you know Sara?” Emily asked. Alice kept quiet, she kept shaking her head, and she kept doing it almost harming herself. “Alice stop, you will hurt yourself”. But she didn’t she kept shaking her head. “She is a witch. I hate her, I hate her.” Alice said, she kept repeating her sentence while shaking her head, before Emily could reply Alice started hitting her head on the chair, Emily stood up hurriedly to stop her, but Alice continued hitting herself. Emily took the telephone to the table to call the doctor. The doctor came in with an injection that made Alice unconscious. “She is going to be out for a while, what did you ask her?”. The doctor asked. “ I asked her about Sara”. Emily said. “Alice hates her name. By calling her name you triggered a hurtful past event in Alice's brain, Alice was constantly hurting herself because she thought that event will happen again and this could have caused damage in her brain leading to her death.” “I understand, I’m sorry doctor,” I said. I don’t think it will be appropriate for you to speak to her again”. “Please, just help me out I need to talk to her it's urgent." She was pleased with the doctor, she can't miss her chance she needed to talk to her urgently. “No! I can’t let you talk to her, I don’t want any other mistakes to occur officer". “Ten minutes, I'm only asking for ten minutes and I will be done. Please doctor ”. She said. The doctor to a while before he replied. “Ok, I will think about it”. “Thank you”. Emily had to look for a way to talk to Alice, that is the last chance she has, she has to convince the doctor to give her alone time with Alice. She knew for a fact that Alice knew something about Sara, she seemed to be troubled by her name.
