Chapter 1
Tree Hill
"He was very crazy! He left 50% of his heritage for his youngest daughter who is dying."
"Don't talk about the deceased like that. However, he is my cousin. I think he did it on purpose. How about his others children?" His wife gently scolded.
"Two others just got 50% and nothing for his son" A 60-year old man angrily said.
"I don't care what he planed in his mind. It seems our company will get a lot of trouble in the future. A sick girl will become the president of our company. Furthermore, she had no experience in the business. I can't imagine what will happen to the company." He sighed.
"Is she going to come back here after surgery?" His wife asked.
"I don't know. But tell our daughter not to hang around him any more and to find a new rich boyfriend. I would never accept him when he has nothing."
"If she dies, who do you think she would leave all her money to? Her sisters or her brother?" His wife asked.
"He did not want to wake up. How sweet his dream was. He met her again, his charming princess. Who is she? He did not know. He hardly saw her face in his dream but he felt her passionate love to him. For 7 years he had felt that she was always beside him to support and comfort him whenever he was disappointed. When will I meet you, my dream princess?"
"You are so beautiful, my angel" HE had looked at her picture for hours. For 30 years HE got used to talk to her picture when HE couldn't sleep. "Why did you leave me? Do you know how lonely and disappointed I was when you told me you loved him instead of me! Come back to me, my angel"
"If they find I cheated their company's money, what would I do? Kill them or beg them forgiveness?" He sighed.
Washington DC
It was snowing. Roads were covered in snow, snow-clad fir trees, and snow-covered tombstones made the cemetery colder and sadder. At the left corner of the big white blanket, there was a beautiful girl in black coat standing near a gray tombstone. She was about 21 years old and her face looked very pale because of cold weather. She used her hands to flick off snowflakes from the tombstone. Her beautiful green eyes were sparkling with excitement while she kissed it and said "Good bye".
"My dear! Tomorrow I will leave here. I can't visit you every week as before. I do not know when I will come back, a few months or longer. But I will accomplish what I promised you and my dream. Good bye my beloved god sister! Say 'good luck' to me!"
Tree Hill Airport
"Rachel, can you stop walking back and forth? If not, I am afraid that the reporters will annoy us soon. You also make me nervous. Don't be worried. The flight is just a little late, but you act like it will be crashed." Haley said with a cold tone.
"Haley! She is our youngest sister. Don't talk about her like your enemy. I hope you will get along with her soon." Rachel sighed. "You know that she and we have separated for 11 years right? I miss her so much. I wonder how growth she is now."
"I don't care how she looks. You should come here alone instead of asking my company with you." Haley said with angry voice.
"After 21 years, you still hate her. Our mother's death was not her fault. Mom decided it. Haley, you know she has heart disease. Please, don't do anything to hurt her. Promise me." Rachel entreated imploringly Haley.
"OK. I promise you…my dear sister. Although I hate her, I don't want her to die because of me."
A skinny curly blonde and very beautiful girl pulled a big luggage and walked towards them, when she saw the word "Peyton" on the white board that held by Rachel. She hesitated a few seconds looked at the picture in her left hand, then asked them "Are you my sisters, Rachel and Haley?" And seeing their surprised look, she smiled "I am Peyton, your youngest sister. Sisters, both of you are so younger and prettier than your pictures you sent me 3 months ago."
Rachel hugged Peyton "I miss you so much. Let me see you carefully. You are higher than I am now. And so beautiful like our mom, Peyton." She said through tears.
Haley coldly looked at Peyton, which made Peyton feel uncomfortable. Poor Peyton, she did not know how to greeting Haley. To reduce the heavy situation, a young beautiful brunette, who was silent from the first time, standing at the right of Rachel, asked Peyton "Peyton, do you remember your favourite cousin?"
"You are Brooke? You are very thin and beautiful and different from the Brooke I've known before. I thought I saw a supermodel." Peyton held Brooke's hands. Both of them laughed when they remembered about a fatty 12 year-old girl always chew candy and chocolate.
"Peyton, you don't know that Brooke is one of the famous models now do you." Rachel smiled
"Wow, and do you still love to eat candy and chocolate? I think you do not. I bought a lot of Switzerland and French chocolates for you, now I have to throw them away." Peyton pretended to be disappointed.
"I will kill you if you dare to throw away these wonderful chocolates. I don't eat chocolate any more, but I have gathered all of them for my chocolate collection." Brooke smiled and whispered in Peyton's ear.
"Chocolate collection? Are you kidding?" Peyton doubtfully looked at her cousin.
"I will show you my collection, but do not tell anybody. I don't want my secret to be written on any newspapers or magazines."
They left the airport and Haley drove them home. On the way home, Haley still kept quiet. She felt angry and headache whenever she thought about Peyton. She hated her because of her mother's death. She should have loved her little sister, but she couldn't. Her mother had decided not to take the chemotherapy and radiotherapy any more when she knew that she had been pregnant. She died after 7 months and Peyton was born by surgical (C-section) with heart disease. Her father seemed to put all of his love into Peyton and forgot his other children. Maybe, Rachel was right; Haley did not hate Peyton really. But she was jealous because she thought that their parents loved Peyton more than her. One died for Peyton's life, another always put Peyton in the first place. 'Did they ever think about and care for me?'
Rachel sat beside Haley. Glancing at her, she knew what her younger sister was thinking. She sighed and asked to herself how long Haley would change her feeling about Peyton. She also thought about her younger brother, who decided to follow his dream and left their house after quarreling with their father. 'How can I bring him back home?' She tried to do that many times before and after their father died. But her effort was a wasted time. He was very stubborn. After all tragedies happened, she felt helpless and depressed. Seeing that her little sister was still alive made her feel happy again. She smiled when hearing Peyton and Brooke's conversation.
"Sis, can I visit our parents' tombs before going home?" Peyton asked Rachel.
"Not now, my dear. It is not good for your heart. You should take a rest first. Tomorrow, we'll go there." Rachel refused.
Peyton felt tired after a long trip. Furthermore, she didn't eat any food on the flight because its taste was very awful. She fell in sleep. Brooke pulled Peyton near her and let Peyton's head lean on her shoulder. 'How sweet my cousin is. After 11 years I finally see you again.' Brooke thought. 'God…Lucas, where are you? Do you get my message? If yes, you should come home to meet your youngest sister. I know you love and miss her so much. And do you know how much I miss you?' Brooke sighed. She loved him deeply, but he seemed not to know about her love. He still treated her like his little sister. She hoped that some days he would change his mind. But when would it happen?
Peyton woke up when the car stopped at their big mansion. She felt very exhausted. Her face was so pale that she looked like a corpse. She could not move her body out off the car and she fell on to the car seat. She felt cold inside and her body trembled. Rachel and Brooke were so panicked when they saw Peyton's heath situation.
"Any body helps us!" They called loudly and their eyes filled with tears.
"God. Please, don't let her die." Rachel prayed.
"Haley, call Dr. Morgan, please." Rachel cried.
"I've already called him, Rach. But he is in vacation." Although Haley didn't like Peyton, she never wanted her to die.
"Find another doctor." Rachel yelled.
Haley felt hurt inside. 'Even Rachel yelled at me because of her. She never yelled at me before."
Servants ran outside when they heard the call. A servant carried her in his arms and walked fast into the mansion. He let her lay on the couch gently. An old woman gave Rachel a glass of water and a warm wet towel. Rachel placed it on Peyton's forehead. Peyton tried to take a plastic bottle out off her pocket and took several white tablets. After ten minutes, she felt better. "Sorry sisters and every body. I am fine now and I don't need a doctor anymore."
"Are you sure, babe? Tomorrow, I will drive you to the hospital to check your health."
"No Rachel, promise me we will visit our parents' tombs. Please." Peyton beseeched.
"Ok, if you feel better, I will keep my promise. But if your heart becomes worse, you have to go to the hospital to check your heart. Take a rest and I will make soup for you. You should eat something." Rachel called a male servant to carry Peyton to her room.
After eating soup, Peyton fell in sleep. Rachel worriedly looked at her little sister. She pulled the blanket to cover Peyton's body and left her room. She knocked on Haley's room door, but got no answer. 'Where is she?' She asked herself.
Haley felt bad and lonely 'Why do everybody I love treat me too bad?' She wanted to cry out, but she couldn't. 'I have to do some things, bad, cruel, dangerous, or even evil, if not I will blow up.' She was about to get into her car, then feeling someone touched her shoulder.
"Are you still angry with me, Haley?" Rachel asked. "I am so sorry; I was so scared and panicked at that time. I thought she would die. I can't stand anymore to see another one in our family dies after our parents. I shouldn't yell at you, Hales. Can you forgive me?" She cried.
Haley felt so touched. "Rach, you know I'll never angry with you. I am just angry with myself. I need some fresh air right now and every thing will be OK again. I promise."
"Be careful." Rachel smiled at her sister. 'I will try my best to make you forgive Peyton.' She talked to herself.
When Peyton woke up, it's very dark outside. She looked at the clock. It's midnight. The house was very quiet. Everybody was in sleep. She turned the light on and looked around her room. It's so beautiful. The curtains suit in color with the wall paint. Decoration of room is very harmonious. She smiled when she thought Rachel could've decorated her room. Her oldest sister was perfect. Suddenly, she heard someone knocked on her door.
"Come in, the door is unlocked." Nobody appeared. "Is it you, Rach?" She asked but got no answer. She opened the door, nobody outside. "Who knocked my door?"
She was back to her room and she noticed a white paper on the rug near the door. She picked it up and read.
"Your life is in danger. There is a murderer in this house. Don't tell anybody about my message and don't trust anyone in this house. Please, always lock your door for your safety." Peyton put the letter carefully in her bag. She froze when thinking about "Your life is in danger".
'That means someone wants to kill me. But for what?' No signature or name on the letter. The letter was typed. 'Who sent me the warning letter? Who is murderer? Rachel? No, she is so sweet to murder anyone. Haley? She is so weird, but I do not believe she killed somebody? Brooke? She is too fragile and looks like an angel not a killer. How about servants or other relatives? I really don't know about them. But who was murdered? And what was their motive?' Peyton sighed 'My first day in Tree Hill had a lot of trouble…When will I meet you? How do you change now? I just saw your picture when you were 15 years old." She kept thinking of the mysterious letter and him, and fell in sleep.
My second story. I don't know whether it's interesting or boring. But I'd like to write it for our Peyton/Hillarie. Thank you...
