Mrs. Benson smiled as she watched her little angel, Pamela, run up to her. "Mum! Mum!" She hopped on the mat her mum had just spread and looked up at her excitedly.
"There's a cute little pond over there," Her hands outstretched as she eagerly pointed her index finger towards an oak tree, a big one, and behind it was a cute little pond just like she said.
It was surrounded by cute tiny grey rocks and tall green grasses. Water lilies floated on the water. The soft rays of the morning sun penetrated the shallow water making it look more enchanting and beautiful.
From where they looked, the water bubbled and they both gasped as a tadpole hopped out onto a lily pad. It was such an adorable tadpole.
"Aww," Mrs. Benson cooed.
Mr. and Mrs. Benson had intentionally chosen the location as Pamela seemed to have a thing for nature.
She smiled as she looked back at her daughter.
Over the past years, Pamela had grown into a smart, sweet, and adorable young girl. She had been their only child and they shower her with so much love.
Pamela raced back to the pond but stopped to hide behind the big oak tree to admire the tiny fishes that had clustered there, and of course, the very adorable tadpole too. She took pictures of them and then jumped out to frighten them.
Mrs. Benson's eyes sparkled as she smiled. She felt her husband's hand on her shoulder.
"She's so full of energy," She muttered adoringly, gripping her husband's hand on her shoulder.
"I know right?" Mr. Benson looked ahead, then bent to give Mrs. Benson a quick sloppy kiss on the lip, "she's the best thing that happened to us".
And both of them stared lovingly at her as she carefully and silently took pictures of the fishes that swam around.
"She'll be busy with lots of editing today," Mrs. Benson chuckled.
"Little me is growing up to be a badass editor," Mr. Benson commented as he watched Pamela take more pictures.
"Oh, now she's little you, huh?" Mrs. Benson softly pinched the hand on her shoulder.
"Ouch! Violence is never the answer."
Mrs. Benson giggled as she stood up and playfully smacked her husband on his well-muscled chest, "you're such a baby!" Then she sashayed her hips as she went to get more stuff from the truck, earning a lustful whistle from her husband.
Mr. and Mrs. Benson both got to work and got the place ready for their picnic.
"Pamy sweetie," Mr. Benson called softly, "come give mummy a hand here, will ya?"
"Yes dad!" she yelled back.
Mrs. Benson and her daughter got the steaks and snacks ready as Mr. Ben assembled the picnic table.
"Okay! Family!" Mr. Benson yelled as he stood in front of the truck with his legs apart and his two hands in the air each hand holding a big toy gun. "It's picnic day, let's make it memorable!"
And so they did as they ran after one another and had loads of fun.
They had fun.They feasted on Mrs. Ben's deliciously made steaks and ate to their fill.
Everyone was happy. It was obvious. They all smiled and laughed as they sat together on the mat, in the evening.
Mr. Ben's phone rang and he uncurled his hands from around his daughter, took a quick excuse, and went to take the call.
Pamela watched her dad curiously. He seemed angry, annoyed even. He grabbed his hair a few times then put his free hand on his waist and paced back and forth.
Pamela frowned and tapped on her mom who was so absorbed in what she was doing on her phone, all smiles.
"Mum!" Pamela called, slightly vexed.
She didn't hear her daughter as her smile grew wider.
"Muuuummm," she whined, tapping her again.
Mrs. Benson jerked back as she felt a tap on her shoulder, "Yes, love? Sweetie, what is it?"
"Mum, It's family time."
"Sorry baby, I just had to do some things. I'm through now," She finished, tucking her phone away.
Pamela smiled then suddenly frowned again immediately causing her mum's facial expression to match hers.
"I almost forgot," Pamela muttered, as she looked toward where her dad was standing again.
He wasn't there anymore. "He has probably walked away," She thought as she faced her mom.
"Sweetheart?" Mrs. Benson called worriedly, caressing her daughter's hair.
"I saw dad," She began. "His phone rang and he went to take the call but he seemed to be having a heated argument with someone."
"Really?" Her mum frowned.
"It seemed intense, mum. I hope dad isn't fighting with anyone," She said to her mum, worriedly looking around.
"No baby, No," Mrs. Benson also looked around as she assured her daughter. "Your dad is not fighting with anyone. Maybe it's just some negligent worker at work."
"I hope so," Pamela singsong as she toyed with her camera, seeming less worried.
"Wow!" Mrs. Benson gasped, "are those the pictures you took? They're so lovely!"
"Look at your father, all smiles," She said as she looked at the pictures.
"This weather seems perfect. We should take more pictures. Where's your father?" Mr. Benson asked, looking around again.
"Wait here, baby. Let-"
Pamela interrupted her mum. "Mum! I'm not a baby anymore," She said giggling. "I'm fifteen," She said slowly, holding up a palm. "Before you know it, I'll be sixteen and I'll start dating".
"You're my baby, baby. You'll always and forever be my baby even till you get old."
"Oh please mummy, that sounds so cheesy," Pamela smiled.
Mrs. Benson laughed, ruffling her daughter's hair.
"Okay, I'll go get your father."
"Aye mother!"
Mrs. Benson laughed as she walked away, and Pamela looked after her. She smiled. Her mom has always looked so young and beautiful. Plus she's smart.
It's no surprise why dad loved her so much.
She is tall and slender with fat in the right places. She is beautiful, almost perfect just like dad.
But dad has once told her that no one is perfect as everyone has a flaw. It was hard to believe what her dad said as her life and family seemed perfect.
What Pamela loved most about her mum was the way she walked. With beautiful slender legs, she walks with so much confidence, she walks like she owns wherever she walks in, and she commands attention. Her mum is a very confident woman and she always prays that she'll grow into a beautiful and confident woman just like her mom.
She also never forgets to pray for a boyfriend just like her dad.
She smiled, said a short prayer, and went back to her camera, clicking random pictures of her surrounding.
"Ben?" Mrs. Benson called again as she looked into the small clearing her husband stood.
Mrs. Benson stopped to admire the work of art she had been gifted.
He was tall, one of the plenty things she loved about him, was his height. Obviously, his height came with long well-muscled legs, that went up to meet with lean hips and a muscled tummy.
And then his chest, wide and obviously, well muscled too. She loved it, it was so broad and she was always glad to spend the entire night there.
What Mrs. Benson loved most about Ben was his personality.
He was full of humor. The very first time they met, he got her laughing her ass out.
He was patient, surprisingly patient, and calm. It's very rare to see Ben riled up or arguing with anyone.
Which brought a frown to Mrs. Benson's face.
"Ben," She finally walked to him.
He looked up at her and his frown decreased at the sight of her.
She put a hand on his shoulder, he was tense.
"Okay, I really would not want this to cause a rift between us."
He said to the other person on the phone.
"Okay then, bye."
"Honey?" She called worriedly wrapping her hands around his neck, "is everything alright?"
He gripped her by the waist and lifted her then dropped her.
Mrs. Benson giggled, "you're not escaping the question, Ben".
Mr. Ben sighed.
"Who were you on the phone with?" Mrs. Benson asked.
"It's them again," He said simply.
"Oh no," Mrs. Benson moaned worriedly.
"But I don't want to ruin the day so we'll talk when we get home, alright?" He finished and kissed her on the forehead.
"Okay then," She agreed.
Mr. Benson looked up, "it's getting late. We need to get going".
"Yeah, Pamela is waiting. We'll take some pictures and get going."
"Yeah! Let's go make birth more memories!" Mr. Benson yelled as he carried his giggling wife, bridal style, and ran towards their daughter.
Pamela saw them coming, her dad was carrying her mom and they were both laughing.
"Perfect!" She muttered as she stuck her tongue out and took a shot.
"Perfect! That shot came out perfect!"
She yelled excitedly."Picnic was fun!" Pamela yelled excitedly as she hopped in the car. "Thanks mum," She said as she hugged her mum. "Thanks pa," She said to her dad too as she took the hand he stretched out. "I took lots of pictures and they all came out really good. I think that area where we had our picnic is just so scenic. It's perfect for taking pictures." "You see that one of you guys running towards me? It was the best!" "So natural, unplanned. You both looked so carefree and utterly happy." She suddenly gasped, "And you need to see the pictures of the pond and the lilies and the tadpoles and the ," She moaned, "ahh they're breathtaking." And she rambled on and on clicking away on her camera. Even as her dad's phone began to ring repeatedly. She knew something was wrong. It was a gut feeling and her guts were always right. Even as her mum and dad exchanged calculated understood looks, she just kept rambling and rambling. And it just wasn't working anymore. She couldn't keep it and so
Mr Benson gave his daughter a squeeze on the shoulder and stood up to go get what he wants to share with her.He walked to his drawer, cleared the top and moved it. Pamela's eyes bulged out, she could have sworn with her life on the line that the drawer could not be moved.Mr Benson groaned silently, his muscles bunching as he moved it.He moved it and underneath was the rug, the same one that covered the whole room. He raised the rug and there was a brown squared shaped gleaming tile. He pulled it and there was a hole. He sneaked his hand in and he brought out a black case. A case that almost could pass for a glass case. Mr Benson's looked up at her and chuckled at her facial expression He beckoned on her to move closer.Legs shaky, she moved closer and knelt beside him.She didn't know why but she was scared.It was like her dad was letting her in on some really dark secrets."See?" Her dad said and pressed the red and only button on the case and a front where a code has to be p
She shrugged the hands off and ran back to her dad."P-a-ammm-y-," shakily, her dad raised his hand to caress her face."Daddddyyyy," she sobbed loudly, sniffing "don't leave me, daddy," She cried.Her dad tried to talk again and he coughed, spurting out more blood."Rrr- Ttt - ddd - R-"And those were the last words of her dad."Dadddd?" She cried."Dadddddd!!!" She felt hands on her again."Leave me alone," She kicked and flailed, "get your f*cking hands off me," She gritted out as she was dragged away from her parents. "You bastards!" She screamed and earned a hard slap from the one who seemed to be their boss. She looked him in the face, he had a round face and half trimmed full blond facial hair. She knew she would not be forgetting that face anytime soon. "Boss?" One of them queried.And their boss glared, "I ain't here to murder a child. Tie her!" And he turned his glare to her.She glared at him in rage. She just wants to strangle him. Strangle him so hard she'll get her h
"There's a little problem." He said as he looked at the sightly old man in front of him. "Stan, one of my men is injured."The head of the men who had attacked the Bensons said as he blew out the smoke that came from the cigarettes in his hand, he leaned on the wall and free arm nearest to the wall was stuffed in his pocket. "I knew I shouldn't have hired you for this job!" The slightly old man in the room bursted out, standing abruptly and causing the chair to shift back and make a gritting noise. The younger man raised his left eyebrow as he stood up abruptly. The noise of the chair shifting back echoed in the room. It was an abandoned warehouse, filled with nothing but smell of dirty dust and rustiness. More frequent heavy rain and the place would be going down. He had rushed there immediately the younger man called. "You don't talk to me like that. I just said one of my men is hurt and all your big fat lips could muster is that I messed up your stupid plan?" He said calmly, da
They parked their car not far from the yellow tape. They all came down one after the other.They walked to the scene and were greeted by the investigating team and paramedics, "good day, Sirs.""Good day," they responded as they looked around feigning to be pained. The atmosphere was tense, it looked gloomy and screamed the death of a loved one."Where's my friend?" the shortest of the men shout, sounding broken. He rushes to go beyond the tape but was stopped and instructed not to go in unless he was in overalls and gloves.They were all given overalls and gloves and they all went in. Everywhere looked sad and shoved all of their memorable times in their faces.The dead bodies were already in coats and on stretchers and they were already being moved out.The shortest of the three men notices a reporter close to him and said audibly, "I can't believe it! I can't believe Ben actually went through with his horrible plan, little wonder poor Pamela ran away".The reporter, just as intend
Rye, East Sussex, England.5:00AMIt was morning again, another day to go out there and work his ass off. He sighed, content as wiped his body dry from his bath. Yes, he works his ass off and his efforts are never in vain.He's a hard worker and so is his wife and they make enough to send their only child to school and still be able to eat the three square meal and still have some change left.Mr Jones looked up at the wall clock, it was 5:00AM. He needs to be at the river early if he intends to get good catches or any catch at all.He put on his t-shirt that was already ironed and laid out by his wife. It smelt fresh and clean as he put it on, he inhaled its fresh smell.He knew he had the best woman as his wife. Ellen, his wife, was humble to the core, caring, and smart. He could scarcely remember meeting any woman who is as kind and giving as her. Ellen would give her front teeth to feed a starving dog. Yeah, that was how caring she was.Mr. Jones's smile grew wider as he thought
"What is this? Jones, what have you brought home?" Mr Jones had already parked the car closer to the house. He got out of his car and he was trying to calm his furious wife.For a while there, he forgot how furious his wife could be. She rarely gets angry but whenever she does, it was always so fiery and fiesty."Calm down, mi amor, calm down." "Jones! you can't be serious right now.""Let me explain, ait?""What is there to explain? You brought home a dead body!""She's not dead!" He added immediately, gesturing with her hands that she should lower her voice but she seemed to not understand the sign she loved to use when Thomas was still a baby."That girl could be dead for all I know!" "Lower your voice, senorita. The neighbors might hear.""They'll eventually know what's going on by the time the bobbies come banging on our door and cuff our hands behind our back!""Look, honey," he gently gripped her shoulder and tried to make her understand,"she's alive, I'm sure of it. I check
"Ahhhhh" Ellen, Mr. Jones' wife, continued to scream loudly as her husband cussed.He had jerked back as his wife bumped into him, causing the hot water in the bucket she held poured on him."Shit! Shit! Shit!" He muttered repeatedly as he felt a tiny burn and then rushed to the bathroom.Ellen stopped screaming and ran after him, apologizing profusely, "I'm sorry, I'm so so so sorry, honey. I had no idea you were coming." She rambled on as he removed his shirt, "I called you and you didn't answer so I just assumed you didn't hear me."Her husband poured cold water on his chest, and winced a little, "I'm so sorry," she repeated."It's alright, dear. It wasn't really hot since you know, you already mixed it.""Still," she pouted, "I'm sorry, is there a burn? Does it hurt?" She asked as she checked his chest for any scald."Honestly it's cool. It already cooled before I even got here," he shrugged, "I guess I panicked unnecessarily"."I'm so sorry," she said again and wrapped her hands
She saw a shadow from the door of her ward, Greg's physique."Ohhh," She heaved a sigh of relief."Hi," He greeted, walking into the ward."Greg?" She called him. "I am pregnant," She said again, watching him approach her. "I know," He said, looking at her."Ohh, you do?" She asked, looking at his face. "Yes," He said, nodding his head."It's a good one, right?" She asked, a smile on her face."Yeah," Greg said again, smiling with her. "How are you?" He asked, the smile fading."Fine," She said, looking at his face. "Greg?" She called, sitting up on the bed."It's fine," He said, sitting beside her on a chair close to her bed. "I am sorry," She said again."It's fine," He said again, standing on his feet. "You'll return back to the cell in 24 hours.""Yeah," She said, nodding her head...."I took a flight the moment I saw the news," Thomas said, calling the thinking woman to reality."Tom!" She said, walking to the door."I'm sorry," Thomas said, tears trickling down his face.
Flashback:"Shut up!" She screamed at Robb, pointing her gun at his face."Who are you?!" The old man asked, his hands in the air. He freezed, realising the doom he was in. "Please," He pleaded."Pamela Benson," She announced, her gun still pointed at his face.Present: "Pamela?" Robb asked, searching for her face in the mask."The man you killed 10 years ago," She said, cocking her pistol. "What?!" The old man asked in astonishment, bringing his hands down."This is for what you did to my family," Giselle said again, shooting at him."Hey!" The old man screamed, holding his son on the floor."Greg?!" Robb screamed, touching his son's body.She blinked twice to be sure her sight didn't fail her. "Greg?" She said, shifting from her spot. She shot at the man. But, his son ran into the scene and received the bullet."Ohh, no!" She whispered, her hands shaking, while she threw the hard pistol to the floor. "What did you do?!" The old man cried, his hands still on the body of his son.
A knock was heard on Thomas's door, causing him hurrying to the door."Hi," Giselle greeted, standing outside his house."You want to stay outside?" He asked, laughing."I wouldn't mind," She answered, a smile on her face."Come on in!" He shouted at her, opening the door wider."I will!" She said, walking into the house. "Welcome, baby," Thomas greeted. "Thank you, Tom," She greeted, smiling. "How are you?" She asked."Fine," He said simply, watching her sit. "How are you too?""Just fine, bigger," She answered, raising her legs to the chair."You didn't bring anything for your brother, the best sister ever!" Thomas mocked."Really?!" Giselle asked, laughing. "Yeah! Is this weight you're adding, Giselle?" Thomas said, looking at her on the chair she sat on. "Weight?" Giselle asked, examining herself."You're damn fatter than the last time we saw!" Thomas said again, looking at her."I don't go out there, remember?" Giselle said, standing on her feet for a better view of herself.
She peeped through again to be sure her sight didn't fail her."Dad," She muttered, recognizing the man in the picture."Dad," She said again, recognizing the other man as Greg's father. "How?!" She asked, flipping pages to see more of the pictures.She flipped and saw more pictures of Robb and her father, Mr. Benson.Rushing through the stairs back to the big living room to see her father-in-law, she almost tripped."Easy honey," Robb said, watching her walk to his side."Where's Greg?" She asked, smiling at the old man."He stepped out a while ago, dear," Robb answered."Okay," She said, walking closer to the old man."What do you want?" Robb asked, watching her approach him. "Who is this man?" She asked, showing him a picture in a page from the album."Ahhhh!" Robb said, smiling. "Benson.""Benson?" Giselle said, feigning innocence. "That's Mr. Benson," Robb answered, looking at her face. "Where is he?" She asked again, her gaze fixed on his face."He's dead," he answered. "He
They walked out of the bed one morning after kissing each other, "good morning.""How are you?" Greg asked, kissing her again."Fine. How are you?" Giselle asked back, touching his hairy chest."Fine," He said, kissing her neck when his phone rang."I'm downstairs," Giselle whispered, kissing him again while she walked away from the room."Let me take this call," She heard him say before walking away from the room...."Baby?" Greg called, walking to the kitchen where she was making breakfast. "Baby," She answered back, her face filled with smiles."What are you making?" He asked, peeping at the pan on the fire from her back where he stood."Pancakes," She answered, turning to look at him."Good enough," He said, kissing her neck from behind."Right?" She asked, adding another set of flour to the pan on the fire."You remember Robb?" Greg asked, a smile on his lip."No," She answered, teasingly."Do you remember Robb Thompson?" He asked again, enjoying the moment. "Yeah!" She answ
She shot at their bodies again, causing the almost dead ones to die instantly."Good!" She praised herself, patting the pistol in her hand. Smiling at what she just did, Giselle gripped her knife."Hmmm!" She said, struggling with the thick knife on the bodies of her prey."KM!" She said again, standing up to leave the house."Here! Go to hell!" She muttered again, kicking the bodies and walking out through the door.She mounted her bike, driving through the streets again in the middle of the night. ** ** **She walked into Thomas's house, seeing him asleep. She returned the bike to it's spot, changed her costume and walked out of her brother's house.Mounting her husband's car, she drove out of the compound, in search of her own home in the darkness. She drove back into her home in not less than 2 hours to see Greg still sleeping."This worked!" She said, walking to her own side of the bed."Baby!" She said, hugging her husband to herself while she drifted
2 weeks later:Giselle sat at the eatery with her best friend, Helen, when her phone rang."Come over to the house after work," Thomas said over the phone."Everything okay?" She asked, listening to everything he said with care."I've got an update," He explained."I'll join you when I'm done here," She said before ending the call. "What's up?" Helen asked, looking up to her friend."It's nothing, Tom wants to see me," She said in explanation, sitting back on the chair she stood up from. "Ohhh, is he alright," Helen asked again."Yeah, siblings thing," Giselle said, smiling. "I can imagine," Helen said, laughing."Yeah, yeah," Giselle said, nodding her head. "Gist me.""Jake asked me out," Helen said, smiling."He did!" Giselle asked, giggling."Yes!" Helen said again, laughing with excitement."What did you tell him?""Yes.""You did?!" Giselle screamed, hitting her friend on the shoulder."Yes!" Helen said, laughing. "Do you like him?" Giselle asked, looking at her friend with s
2AM:She jumped out of the bed, searching for something."What is it?" Greg asked, rushing to her side."It's nothing serious," She said, returning to the bed."Are you okay, baby?" He asked again, laying beside her on the bed, his hand on her neck."I'm not sick, Greg," She said, placing her head on the pillow."Are you looking for something?" He asked again, with a worried look on his face."I thought I left my handbag at the hospital yesterday.""Ohhh!" Greg said, satisfied she gave him an answer. "It's in your wardrobe.""Okay," She said, smiling. "Go to sleep," She begged, kissing his lips.She watched him close his eyes with a smile on her face. ...Dawn:"Good morning," She greeted, walking into her brother's ward."Gis," He greeted, smiling and sitting up on the bed."When will you be discharged?" She asked, sitting on a chair beside the bed."Tomorrow," He answered."I can't find my babies," She whispered, looking him in the eyes."What babies?" Thomas asked with a confuse
'R' and 'T' have decided to hire a private investigator to look into the case. It has been a terrific moment for R and T after the death of their third party, Dave.They came together at a place to discuss the way forward."What do we do at this point?" R questioned."I don't know, someone is haunting us," T said, thoughtfully."Dave was killed few days after Kev's death," R said, looking at his friend."Not just Kev. But, his entire workers!" T spat."Dave's household members died the same night with him too!" R remarked."His gateman too," T said."We need to do something, friend," T said again."Who shall we call?" R questioned T with a look of worry on his face."I wouldn't know," T answered, with more look of worry on his face. ** ** **The Thompson's house:Two bodies stirred on a big bed, clutching themselves."Wake up," Greg said, smiling."Why?" Giselle asked, stirring again."Because it's morning," He answered, ruffling her hair."Tch!" She hissed.
