∆ A New Beginning? ∆
You cautiously roamed the now-empty house, the same house you, your mom, and your big sister Nica lived in. Now it was only a minefield, everyone who had exhibited the house had been murdered in heinous ways. Except for your sister and your niece Alice who had survived. Nica had been blamed for the carnage despite being confined to a wheelchair and Alice was taken away and eventually adopted by a woman named 'Tiffany Valentine' that name alone sent shivers down your spine for an unknown reason
You jumped as you heard three rhythmic knocks at the door. Who could it be now? Reporters? Weird people trying to 'debunk' theories? You approached the door cautiously, making sure to peek out the window before opening it. You gasped as you saw her, the woman who took your niece away and forbade you from seeing her.
'What could she want?' You thought as you opened the door, you shivered as the cold crisp air rushed inside
The woman wasted no time getting inside the house and looking around
"Hello, sweet face! I thought that maybe I could check up on you" She turned in your direction, you didn't know why you always had a bad feeling about her. Maybe you were just jealous that she got to adopt Alice, yeah. That's it
"Check on me for what? And where's Alice?" You questioned, wondering why she would come here
She promptly took off her sunglasses and looked directly at you and spoke
"Alice is dead"
Those words were enough to send your mind spiraling. How? When? Why?
It was all too much, most of your family is dead and now your only niece is dead. You only had one question
"How?" Your tone made the woman raise an eyebrow
"Well, the poor thing couldn't take it anymore and died from a broken heart." She started crying and you would've believed her performance if you didn't know any better
You slowly reached into your back pocket where you had kept your gun, Nica had always been adamant about you keeping a weapon on you just in case and this was just the case
You pulled out the gun and pointed it straight at her head, startling her
"I'm not stupid" You spat, this woman. This thing was the cause of your family's death. Not Nica, of course, it wasn't her
The uneasy feeling returned in your stomach as you watched her scared expression change into one that almost looked. . .impressed?
"I didn't know you had it in you, to kill a human being" She watched your expression carefully, analyzing you
She smiled as she saw the look of doubt and uncertainty flash in your eyes for a split second. Bingo
"You don't want to do this do you? You're not a killer, and I'm not one either-" She carefully stepped toward you, experimenting with how far she could go
"Liar!" You gripped the gun harder, almost pulling the trigger
"If you let me live I'll show you who did it. If I mess up or try anything funny you're free to blow my brains out" She smiled. Was this woman crazy!? Who in their right mind would trust her?
Well. . .you couldn't just kill the woman who was last seen inside your house unless you wanted to end up with Nica
You lowered your gun
"Fine" Yeah you grumbled and stepped back, making sure to put as much distance between you two
She grinned
"I'll make this worth your while, just sit back and watch everything unfold. Then you'll know the truth" She said before walking out the door
You looked around, you had nothing here for you anymore. No family, no friends. No one
So it wasn't like you would be leaving anyone behind. You sighed as you decided
The crazy woman it is
You saw her grin as she watched you leave your house. This was going to be one hell of a ride
