Chapter 2;
Vivien POV; 2011
"Ben, what is that?" I asked sitting up in bed, I looked over at his side of the bed remembering it was empty. Another agonizing scream ripped through the silence of the house, causing me to jump in surprise
"Mom?" Violet's voice called knocking on the door I got out of bed, quickly crossing the freezing cold floor. I pulled the door open to see Violet, with a frightened look on her face "do you hear that?" she asked glancing toward the stairs, I nodded "it sounds like a girl, screaming out in pain" I looked over at Ben's side of the bed once more, then sighed grabbing the baseball bat I kept near the door.
"I'm going to see what it is" I flipped the light switch for the hall, carefully looking around "Mom, let me come with you" Violet said resting her hand on my shoulder "alright, be careful honey"
"I will" she assured, we went down the staircase following another scream to the basement
Eleanor POV; 2011
"Your screaming won't make me me stop!" I said dragging the large kitchen knife across the girl's stomach, as she let out yet another, cry of pain. "I already told you, the more you scream the more fun it is, for me" I gave her an innocent smile as I used a bloody hand to push the hair out of my face
"Mom, it's coming from the basement" I looked up the stairs, listening as Violet and Vivien made their way to the door, "looks like playtime is over" I said pushing the knife deeper into her already hallowed out stomach, "bye bye" I got up going to hide in a dark corner as soon as Violet reached the bottom step.
"Oh my god!" she screamed in horror once the lights were on, Leah's body laid in the center of the floor surrounded by her blood which pooled around her, her internal organs spread about in a circle, already being feasted on by flies and roaches
I smiled proudly to myself as I sucked on my thumb cleaning it of Leah's blood
"Mom!" Violet yelled, Vivien hurriedly made her way downstairs, gagging at the sight
"Mommy, why are you do you look frightened?" I asked swinging my legs as they hung off the edge of the table "something, terrible happened last night?" she said setting her mug on the counter as she spoke to me.
"scary things happen here all the time it's one of my favorite things at the house, especially death...when it's a huge bloody mess, flies and rotting flesh, the smell of an old corpse that's been left untouched for weeks" she looked at me then ran out of the kitchen to the bathroom so she could vomit,
"you didn't have to kill Violet's friend" Tate said appearing in the seat on my right "she hurt Violet, so I hurt her" he looked at me with a rare smile "next time, make sure you invite me when you want to kill someone"
