Dark Tales from the Loudverse

Tale: Sharp knives and Loud girls

Chapter 1: Loss

The old cop was just scowling her, not a single word since his partner left, he was just there sitting with his arms crossed.

Leni was beyond devastated, with puffy eyes from crying for so long when they interrogated hands were shaking, she could still feel the warm and viscosity off the blood on her hands, her dress sported the blood patterns from when she took out the knife from the neck of that woman.

She didn't want any of this to happen, she never thought that any of this could happen.

Leni had been thinking a lot about the incident, there was something really wrong with that woman and like, how she laughed when she approaches Leni only to get angry so suddenly. Her eyes, there was something so disturbing on them.

The door to the room open again and that officer that interrogated her entered again.

"We finally got the surveillance camera footage and some more declarations of witness" She sit down and put down a for in the table, Leni started at the detective hands, like she really needed a manicure.

Her grumpy partner smiled and looked with contempt at Leni. "You are screwed kid, you'll rotten in jail for what you've done, Mommy and Daddy won't save you." He leaned over and said that in a whisper and with a crooked smile plastered on his face.

She opened the folder and sighed. "Her name was Dana, a known crack addict with multiple arrests for aggravated assault." Her partner looked to the papers, his face softening a little

"Earlier that day she robbed and stabbed a mother and daughter, both are at the hospital, the mother is in critical condition and the girl lost an eye."

Leni just stared with eyes wide open and could feel her chest tightening, she covered her mouth, the eyes are on the face in some like goes, how could She have lost it? Also that poor woman, hopefully she'll get better

"Are they like gonna be ok?" Leni used her hands to clean new tears, that grumpy police officer left the room and another one come with her parents, they looked like so confused and heartbroken.

"Mr and Mrs Loud we reviewed everything, the video show Leni being attacked, she managed to disarm her attacker and stabbed her in the neck. She will be prosecuted but is not likely that she will serve any time since it was legitimate defense against someone who was attempting against her life." The police last grabs her folder and stands up.

"Leni, we don't know about the mother, last we know she was still in the operating room, the daughter had her left side of her face disfigured and lost her eye but otherwise is stable. Mr loud we recommend you to to hire a therapist for your daughter, she got over a very traumatic experience, I can recommend a few"

Lynn approaches Leni and hugs her and both break down crying.

Rita turns to the office and takes a deep breath "Thank you, we already have a therapist in mind"

"I bet 10 she took something by accident from a store and that is why they arrested her" Lola places a couple of bills in the table and smiles.

"Nah dudes maybe she took someone else purse thinking it was hers" Luna drops ten and confines running her guitar.

"Maybe she hurt someone by accident, she is unnaturally strong i bet 10 on that"

"Lynn, she is incapable of hurting even a fly I literally saw her cry for an hour when she accidentally squashed a ladybug, I bet 10 that it was some misunderstanding"

"I can't believe you all are betting on something like this"

"Shut up Stinkin' we are just having a little fun there is nothing bad about it"

"My ghosts friends told me something disturbing, she killed someone and I'm betting 10 on that"

Everyone just stares silently at Lucy as she places the money on the pile, they just remain like that for a couple of seconds until they heard vanzilla parking.

The door opens and enters Rita hugging Leni and lead her upstairs, they can see her clothes stained brown from the dried blood and the sad, horrified and lost look on her face was telling a very haunting story.

Lynn Sr walks to the living room with a serious voice tells them. "Kids, I need you to support your sister, she just went thru a very traumatic experience." He cleared his throat. "Lincoln please contact the McBrides and ask them the number of Doctor Lopez, Luan please try to avoid dark humor around Leni, Lucy avoid talking about death or ghosts in front of her, Lori be there for her, you are her roommate and the closest to her, all of you she needs you all right now."

"Dad, wh-what happened?" Lori walks up to him, worry in her voice

Lynn takes her hand and guides her to the kitchen and talks in almost a whisper. "She went to buy a gift for the birthday of Luna and a drug addicts attacked her, she managed to disarm her attacker and accidentally stabbed her in the neck and" He slowly traces his neck with his thumb, audible gasps could be heard, he turns to the living room only to see the fleeting image of his kids hiding behind the wall

"Kids i saw you, please avoid talking about this infront of her, at least until she sees a therapist, she has been very emotional about it."

A chorus of yes Dad and other forms of agreement could be heard and the kids moving back to the living room, Lynn father just went to prepare the dinner, Lori just stood there in shock

Everyone was in silence looking at the tv but not really watching it.

"Sigh, This is one of those times i hate that my ghosts friends never lie to me, i wish i they wrong" Lucy looks at the money in her hands and returns the money to her pocket.

She had waken an hour ago, the pain was bearable thanks to the drugs but she didn't care, first she was told about her eye and face and just now her father told her her mother just passed away.

She felt being embraced and tears falling on her, it was just too much, right until that point it was a great day, she had told her mother about her date for tomorrow, she was excited for her, her mother told her she needed new clothes to impress her partner.

Both had a great morning, shopping, talking, laughing… Then that monster came and stole the most precious thing she had. The clothes, a gift, money, her cellphone who cared about that, those were just stupid vannal possessions, she just lost her mother.

She felt like puking, she could barely breath and a choked whimper escaped her mouth, she couldn't hold it anymore and broke down crying.

She had just accepted herself for who she was, her parents made her felt safe when she told them and she just got a girlfriend, but it felt like the world didn't care, It turned on her and now Sam Sharp felt like a part of her died.
