IN THE GAME OF LOVE

The sun shone brightly on a beautiful huge white manor, that stood in the middle of a large field. A middle-aged woman opened an old large wooden door and walked out. She had curly blonde hair and she wore a knee-length blue dress. Two girls followed her. One was tall and pretty. She had short, curly black hair. The other was short and had long blonde hair. Both the girls wore a thick dark blue jacket on black trousers and black boots. The woman on the other hand wore shoes instead of boots. They kept walking on the grass in front of the manor until they reached a large black gate. "Girls, be back on time. Go carefully and do not talk to strangers." "Mother you talk as if we are little girls," said the girl with short hair. "Nancy, mother says this as a reminder to us, so that we don't fall into a trap. Many girls have been found dead in the past week," said the blonde girl. "Of late, even your cousin Cathy is missing. Sheriff Oscar is a close friend of your father and still, he ha

Andre had agreed to go along with Emma to her secret place without telling anything to anyone but she couldn't stop thinking about Cathy. Several thoughts distracted Emma today. She kept wondering why Cathy wanted to meet with them. This wasn't the girl she knew. The Cathy she knew was quite bold. She wasn't someone who would get afraid of anyone and hide. Cathy could have called the police but she preferred to message Emma. This made Emma a bit suspicious too. At one point she wondered if this really was Cathy or just someone messing up with her. Later she realized their secret place was not known to anyone else. Cathy, Julia and Emma used to often be away from the adults, for a short while, to play in their secret place. Emma highly doubted if someone would kidnap Cathy and ask about it from her. What gave her goosebumps was the thought of going back to that secret p

Emma's ears were filled with Cathy's screams. Her friend was completely engulfed in fire and Emma couldn't do anything because this very fire was now all around her as well. The heat from the flames now increased. She tried looking around for Cathy but the growing flames made everything difficult."Cathy!" Emma finally managed to shout out but there was no response.The lack of response made Emma's heart pound in fear. She was now afraid for Cathy. The whole house was now in flames and Emma stood in confusion, trying to understand how to find Cathy. There was no means for escape. She was surrounded by the dancing flames around her. There were tears in her eyes, as she realized that this was her last day. Her head began spinning and she fell to the floor. She felt as though she could no longer breathe properly. She trie

Emma pushed the old wooden door of the church and walked out. It was Sunday and unlike her mother and sister, Emma always went to church for Sunday prayers and sermons. As she continued to walk on the dusty road, she remembered how Cathy died.Although the FBI agent gave her his number, she hasn't responded to him about his offer. She had dedicated her life in high school to study hard for the medical entrance exam and if she succeeded in giving any important evidence,  she could go to one of the best universities. At the same time, she felt she would not get her hands on anything important. She felt that Stephen was innocent and may have nothing to do with the murders. Moreover, she felt was probably getting involved in something dangerous.She felt guilty for not telling anyone at home about witnessing Cathy's death but she didn't want anyone to get angry at her. She had requested Sheriff Oscar not to say anything about this to anyo

After breakfast, Emma went upstairs to her bedroom to change her clothes but before she could walk inside the room, Nancy dragged Emma to her bedroom and threw a bunch of red dresses on the bed."You refused to wear my favourite one so here are other red dresses.""Are you deaf? I told you that I won't wear any red.""Oh come on!! You are going on a date for the first time. You need to look good.  You will look great in a red dress.""Nancy, let's be honest. I don't look good in anything. It is not worth trying it."She pushed Nancy as she walked past her. She stopped in front of the bedroom's door and turned her neck to look at her sister.
