2020-09-22 11:35:44I knew something was wrong, maybe someone was after me or maybe I was losing my mind. It was impossible to tell what was what these days. More importantly, it was impossible to tell why I would kidnap my best friend and drive around with a dead body in the back of my trunk.
I had just exited the hospital where my stepmom decided to spend the last of her painful life. She had survived a brutal man to end up in a hospital under the care of young ladies after men rather than caretaking. Well, I guess when you survive death that long, you tend to stay away almost permanently.
I sat quietly in the restaurant, it was beautiful, everything about this city is, well except me. No, God no, I am the charm I know that but my head is the death of me.
On a different occasion, I will admire the cosy weather and the quietness of the surrounding. The running water and the chaos just outside this glass. But right now, my only thoughts were

When you talk about my life, you talk about a dolphin stuck in a desert. I was a symbol of anguish, the definition of emptiness. I had a job, a best friend like everyone (well used to) an old sick mother in her death bed but...Love was the last thing I wanted because like many people walking the streets today, love broke me. No, not me. Love broke the people who broke me.I stood in front of the mirror, staring at the man I used to know but someone else was staring back. He had the same hazel eyes, the same sadness drawn on his face but he was fucked, all shades fucked.The call had just come in, Detective Jones. Such a pain in the ass. I pulled the bag, holding my tickets. I had to leave this Godforsaken town. Maybe Tranquil will be a nice place to start a life, forget about everything that happened here, Christy, gosh, I wonder what she thinks of me now wherever she is if she is even alive.

When you venture into the dark,You shouldn't fear to meet with darkness.When you wish to be in the light,Then you must first walk through the darkness.Christy's POV:You got your demons, they are nothing compared to the monster I saw when you bound me in your house. He was out for blood, not because I had done anything to him, but because he seeks you. He would tear your world limb to limb to erase everything you love. He had the anger in his eyes, the lust for blood. I know because I felt the same when I stabbed my ex straight to his heart. I have seen it before when James beat me until I lost the baby.From what I can gather, he has his eyes on you. He knows when you leave the house, when you return and when you go to bed. He knows who you dine with, who you meet with and even sleep with. He watches your eve

Secrets are the end of every relationship. Once the seed is conceded in heart, slowly, the death approaches.Many had lost to the seed they conceded at heart and when it unleashes, disaster and death to years of trust and honour.Andre sat in front of his screen, oblivious of the entirety of the environment. He was trapped in the abyss thoughts of Christy. He relived every moment of them, all the smiles at various points. His head hurts already but he was lost too deep to care.Soon it was time to leave, time to play his role in worlds mess. He pulled his files together. He could the pair of eyes, eyes he once thought innocent, staring at him. All the guilt turned to anger.

Only if you were a fucking killer.He pulled himself, face u

Andre sat on the cosy peaceful bed. The thoughts of Benjamin, Christy, and possibly many others who decided his life but still he had no idea.He was used to the blaring light of the morning rays and did not flinch when his eyes met the wide eyes of the window. Katherine slept peacefully on his arm, hugging him tight to her body.Are you sure you want to drag her into your mess?It was supposed to be a one-time thing, he never expected he would protect her from the demons chasing him to the ends of the earth. He combed her hair softly, using the tip of his well-trimmed fingers to give soft massages to her long black hair.Do you think you can protect her?A million and one thoughts keeping his chest in a heaved breath. He continued his combing motion, staring at her as she slept comfortably.Only if she knew what was coming.He s

Maybe it was the way he took his time to study the case. Maybe it was the first impression seeing dead Becky gave to him, but he showed even more zeal in exposing the culprit behind the deaths, no matter the cost.He was getting ready for the end of his shift, had gone to get a burger and juice, not doughnuts, those are for patrol police. His phone began to chime.“Hello, Detective Jones here, who am I speaking with?”“Hi Jones, would you like to find the culprit behind Becky's murder.”He first thought this was a silly joke. Who would wake up one morning to point out a killer the whole city had been searching for?“Yes,” there's no crime in wanting to know what they had to say.“Then I think you will love to see this,”He recognised the voice almost immediately, Andre.

Justice is a friend of no man.He is also a stranger to all.You seek him but never find,You find him only to lose him.In the end, you settle for vengeance.Most people believe to protect your home, make the thief the security, he would not steal because he will be too busy stopping others from stealing. The government too thinks this way. They pick the people supposed to be arrested, offer them jobs at the bureau while the civilians willing to stop the guys like the ones they put in the bureau end up with a crappy desk a singular mug and a coffee maker too old that the coffee tastes like plastic deposits.They had to work double the time to catch petty thieves who are actually locals trying to survive the hard times. While the suit men dressed in all colourful colours of black and shades walk in glorious wealth after a life of crime.

Andre's POVI had made the deal with the devil, yes, I know that. But sometimes, the devil can be a faithful ally considering you have other demons out there hunting you. The question I couldn't figure out was, why me? Why come for a low-class writer who is confined by the chains of the world and is yet to even have his own bloody life in place. I was caught up in things I couldn't understand, set up by someone, my best friend. Maybe I should storm into her house, choke her till she confessed. Do I even want her locked up? Do I want the secret that I had kidnapped her in the first place, out in the open? My thoughts rampaged through all nerves and cells, dissolving me into a world covered in uncovered mysteries. Could I really be the killer? I don't find myself capable of doing such but I also never found myself capable of kidnapping and worse of all, the thoughts I have now, the urge to rip Christy off her skin and spread them out on the

Christiana's POV:"Come on Ben, we're going to be late," her little British accent almost pulled him to his feet instantly but being the strong head he was, he was reluctant to move. "I don't want to go. I don't want to have dinner, I am tired of this place, I want to know my parents." He brushed his arm through his eyes, wiping the tears away as he stared at the long lonely road separating them from others."Don't be stupid-" she sat close to him, staring into space as he did, "-I want to find my parents too, but what if they don't want me?" the sadness grew more in her but she was to make him smile, not make him cry."Then they are assholes for not wanting you," Benjamin cursed."Us-they are assholes for not wanting us. For not searching for us," She pointed out just as she turned to him. His sobs were down and even though he still was moody, he was a little br

The wind was whistling and the leaves hanging above the trees danced to its hums but there was something sad about these sounds. They didn't feel like the normal wind in a forest, they were more like sad cries tainted with blaring sirens driving in and out. They were more like trampling feet against dead leaves and jamming of metals, clicking of cuffs and locking down of a crime scene.This was Kara's fourth point of view of a crime scene. First, she had appeared in crime scenes as police in uniforms, handling statements and reports, transporting suspects.Second, she had appeared in crime scenes as the detective in charge. These were her glorious moments, the moments she thought she read each scene as clearly as possible. The detective with states recognition and honours.Third, she appeared in the crime scenes as the victim. Unlike most of her victims, she had not turned dead. She was very much alive and able to na

The end was near and they knew it. The wind around them was heavy, who would blame it? Carrying the stench of betrayal and death. The thick woods was quiet, not the usual quiet—ghost silent. Only the approaching steps of Andre or should he be called Benjamin could be heard as they stepped away further, deeper, away from Maria in her own pull of blood.She had not put up a fight, she was not given the chance. Something betrayal would do. Shot in the back, and then her chest. Andre knew for sure she was dead. He picked the phone up, dialled a number and a similar phone rang somewhere inside a building. Jones picked the call, “Get the tickets ready, we will be leaving soon.” Jones put the phone back into his pocket, swiftly pulled a black gown with bright sparkles from a hanger. He made his way to the dungeon, “Put this on now, ” he tossed the piece of cloth to Christy, Christy briskly cladd

Kara was eighteen when she first felt this way. The rage, the guilt. She had this new feeling, betrayal. It was the kind only a person you have known intimately could do. A lover, a spouse, a partner with whom you shared your bed and his. She felt betrayed by her own instincts. She saw the signs, clearly visible in front of her eyes but she looked the other way. Was the sex worth it? She was on the verge of breaking. She had told Andre to hold off because she would not want Maria to spend the rest of her life in jail hit but she knew it was all false. She wanted him as much as Maria did, and maybe even more.Kara had hated herself all these years, getting drunk, becoming a stripper, suicide attempts. She had sent her sister to her death.Sarah always wanted to go to a different town but Kara had taken a job online to work in a restaurant—going against Sarah's wish for the first time—she had chosen herself over Sarah for the fir
