Here is chapter 12.


Nick's POV

My sister was mad. What was going on with her? I thought she needed a doctor. She was strange and she didn't tell me why. I had to meet Vanessa. I would ask her to marry me. I knew that it wasn't the perfect time but I couldn't neglect her anymore. She was my girlfriend and I had to do something for her. Maybe I should talk to a doctor about Carly. That experience had caught her a trauma. I wanted her to relax, to go on with her life. It was difficult. I had fallen in love. She had lost her lifelong boyfriend Wade. That was terrific. She wanted to live with him, to make a family with him. But that was just a dream now. A dream that had been destroyed and a memory that kept broking her heart even after all that time. Paige brought me back to reality.

"Nick, do you know where Carly is?" She asked me. I had no idea.

"What do you mean? Isn't she in her bedroom?" I asked hoping that she hadn't looked at Carly's bedroom yet.

"No, I thought you would know"

"What's wrong with her Paige? You must know" She looked at me and then she turned her head to look at the other side of the room.

"So?" I insisted.

"Nick, I don't know what she has. She must be stressed. But I don't know"

"I don't believe you" She was lying.

"You have to believe me Nick" She ensured me.

"It's ok" I didn't pressed her . But she hadn't persuaded me. Carly was not well and I would prove it. I wanted to help her…


Bo's POV

I waited for her. She was going to come. I was sure. I wanted to see her. To feel the fear she felt when she saw me. To see in her eyes the pain she felt for her friend's lost lives. I was evil. I wanted to make people pay. Pay for my mother's mistakes. For the scars I still had on all over my body. Yes, I had a heart of steel. And I knew it. I killed for fun. I killed people to feel alive, to feel that I'm strong. And I was. No one wins me. I would make that girl pay. I liked her. The smell of her hair, the way her lips curved. I was gonna have her. But I was gonna take my time. That was the best game I ever had. She was beautiful. I was evil. She was pure. I was devil. I wanted to kill her and her stupid brother. To leave them breathless. I heard a knock on the door. It was her. Vincent was in his room and Lester had gone out. I approached the door and sighed heavily. I opened the door. I saw her. Her eyes were red but she wasn't crying. She looked at me with fear, trying not to show it. But I knew what she felt.

"You are brave" I teased her and she got in. That was a surprise. She didn't hesitate to get in my house.

"Why did you want me to come here? And by the way, your place is freaky. Freaky and gruesome like the old one" She said and I wanted to strangle her.

"You should be more kind to me darling" I tried to touch her cheek but she avoided it. She was audacious and that made me crazier.

"I'm not like you, but I can turn if I want" She snapped and I pushed her, tossing her on the wall. I got a small knife out of my pocket and I put it so close to her neck that it almost cut her skin. She was sobbing and I held her face very near to mine. The more I tightened the more she was aching. I looked at her deep blue eyes and I whispered to her ear.

"I'm stronger than you and you can't defeat it" I heard her crying harder and harder and that brought me back memories. When she first came in town and I strapped her to the chair, down at the basement of my gas station.

"Tell this to me again" I ordered her."Tell me that I'm stronger and you can't defeat it" I knew that that made her suffer much more than before."Tell it"

"You're stronger than me…and I can't defeat you" She choked.

"Good girl" I said and I released her. She fell down. She touched her jaw. She was still aching.

"Get out of here" I told her and she stood up. She looked at me like she was crazy. She grabbed my knife and she threw me on the floor. She was above me and she tried to stab me. But of course she failed. I reversed her. She was now under me. I was her commander as I always did. She tried to lift but I didn't let her. I did something that I wanted to do for a long time. I put my lips on hers. She tried to resist. But it was late. I tasted the salty taste of her hot tears as I touched her collarbone. She abruptly shoved me away, stood to her feet and opened the door, leaving without looking back. I lied on the floor with my head looking at the ceiling. Vincent got out of his room and saw me.

"What are you doing?" He asked me hesitatingly. I lifted my head slightly.

"I was taking my dose" I smiled and I pulled my head down at the floor." That was damn good" That was my last thought.


Carly's POV

I was shocked. I wanted to cut my veins. God help me! I didn't have the strength to kill him. Maybe I should tell it to Nick. He could handle that. No, I didn't want to hurt Nick. Nick was my lovely brother. I wanted to kill Bo. I didn't care if I would become a killer. I just wanted to get him out of my life. What if I bought a gun? I would end with that. I got in my house and I went to sleep. I wore my nightdress and I fell on the bed. I closed my eyes. I didn't want to think or to feel anymore. I wanted to die.


Nick's POV

I opened my eyes. The clock read 7:00 am. I quickly woke up and I went to Carly's room. I approached her bed and I sat beside her. She was sleeping peacefully. I smiled at the sight of her and I gently stroked her hair. After a while she opened her eyes and she gave me a smile.

"Good morning baby girl" I said to her with a warm smile.

"Good morning Nick" She seemed so smooth and cool. Such a lovely girl. The girl she always was.

"How do you feel today?" I asked her.

"Nice" She told immediately.

"Good for you honey. I'm so happy for you. You know you were a little bit strange. I don't misunderstand you. With all that we've passed" I ended.

"What have we passed?" She asked me and I stayed astonished.

"The tragedy we've passed Carly. Don't you remember?" My anxiety was growing.

"No, I don't understand what are you saying"

What was that now? She didn't remember a thing? She must be teasing me. No, she isn't teasing me. My little sister is getting worse and I don't do anything to protect her…
