Shock
"I want it!!!!" Julia shouted. Spike shook his head, "No, you have too many." "Please! Please!!" Julia begged. Spike sighed, "Ok, Ok." He walked to the stall to buy the bracelet Julia wanted.
"Here," he said thrusting a bracelet made of shells in her hand. "Yaaayy!!!" Julia cheered, "Why don't you buy one, Alice?" She asked Alice. "Ok, I will then," Alice said and looked at Andy with huge pitiful, puppy dog eyes. Andy sighed, "Ok Ok!!" He said and bought Alice one.
"Shall we go home now? It's like tea time," Spike said. Everyone stared at Spike with shifty eyes. "Ta, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea, tea!!" Julia said irritably. "Shut up! You're no less yourself, Missy Julia. Oh, this room is so dirty I need to clean it up! Oh, it's so stuffy in here, I'll open the windows. Spike stop putting on the light unnecessarily, the electricity bill will go up, you know," Spike mocked in a very Julia-like voice but heavily caked with his own manly voice.
Julia looked away haughtily. Everyone chuckled.
Suddenly their laughs were interrupted with loud barks. They turned to see some small boys throwing stones at Ein.
"Ein!!" Alice shouted and ran to the poor yelping Welsh corgi. Andy ran forward to shoo away the boys.
The boys looked up and ran away. Alice slid to her knee and picked up the little brown ball in front of her. "Ein," Alice whispered hugging the poor thing. Ein looked up his misty eyes filled with pain.
"Is he all right?" Alice heard a husky voice. She looked up to her brother. "Dunno," Alice said and got up. They decided to head back to the beach house. On the way back Alice was all fussy about Ein. "She really likes Ein," Julia commented. Andy nodded.
"Yeah, ever since she has moved out for higher studies she has been really lonely and since Ein is the only one she could talk to she's really close to him. You won't believe, Alice doesn't know how to swim but once when we were on the ferry Ein kinda fell in the water and Alice jumped in to save him but fortunately I was there to save her," Andy said looking straight in front of him as if he was reliving the scene.
"Oh…" Shin said. "That explains it," Spike said. "I know how it feels," Vicious said quietly. "You do?" Andy asked. Vicious shook his head. Andy smiled, "My sis is really strange, she's like really quiet and shy and too kind for words."
"I think she's got the kindest heart in the whole world," Shin said. "It's true. I can't help noticing how sweet and kind she is," Julia said. "I remember Faye was jealous of her because she thought Alice was your girlfriend," Spike said teasingly. "Really?" Andy asked, "Ahh…that's why she was so red when I saw her."
"Shut up!!" Faye said hotly. "Aww…cummon, Faye, don't be so short tempered," Andy said placing his arm over Faye's shoulder. Faye blushed. "Thanks, Andy," Faye said shyly.
"Look! Isn't that Faye over there?" Andy pointed out to a man holding a monkey in his hand.
WHAM!!!
"Owww, Faye, that hurts, you know!" Andy said rubbing the football size bump in his head.

Tring Tring Tring Tring Tring Tring Tring Tring Tring Tring Tring Tring Tring
"I'll get it!!" Alice said as she made her way towards the phone. She picked it up.
"Hello?"
She listened to voice on the other side. "Yes, just a sec," She covered the mouthpiece with her hand. "Faye!!! Faye!!"
Faye came running, "What?"
"It's your dad." Alice said as she handed the device to Faye.
"Hullo?" Faye spoke. She heard the familiar voice of her dad. "Yeah, papa, yeah. We're fine. Yes, no there's nothing. Why are you asking?"
Faye listened to the voice on the other line for some time. "Yeah, just a second," She said as she covered the mouthpiece with her hand. "Andy!! Spike!! Lin!! Shin!! Vicious!! Julia!! Alice!! All of you come here fast!!!" She shouted.
"What, Faye?" Andy asked as he walked in with the others and Alice came running as she wiped her hands on the apron and bumped into Julia.
"Papa wants to talk to you all," Faye said, "But there's no speaker in this phone."
"Hey, we'll sit outside in the living room. The phone there has a speaker," Andy said. "Just a sec, papa," Faye spoke into the phone.
All of them sat around the phone as Andy pushed the 'Speaker On' button. "Hello? Papa, yes we're all listening to you," Faye said.
"Children, I want to tell you something important," Jet's gruff voice came through the device. "Yes, Mr. Black, what is it?" Andy asked. "You see, I just got this news that…do you know 'Arthur Jail'?" he asked.
"Yes, I know, it's about 5 kilometers away from here," Alice replied.
"Eh?" Jet didn't recognize the voice.
Faye laughed, "Papa, that was Andy's sister, Alice."
"Oh, hello, Alice," he said. "Hello, sir," Alice replied cheerfully.
"So, what about the jail?" Spike asked. "Oh, yes, you see, I just received the news that Vincent Volaju had escaped from jail last night and was spotted near the place you live a few hours ago," Jet said.
"Isn't Vincent a maniac killer?" Spike asked. Shin nodded, "He's a homicidal maniac. Apparently, he used to kill people just because he loved the smell and taste of blood. He did say that to the police when they caught him and interrogated him. I think he was caught last year, right?"
"You're absolutely right, Shin. The police are trying to search for him now but they can't find him. Now, I want all of you to be careful and to always stay in a group when you go out or something, ok?" Jet spoke.
"Yes, sir," Spike said. "Please take care; I'm really worried about you guys. I hope at least Julia and Shin will take care of the others," Jet said. Julia smiled, "Yes, sir."
"And I want you to be extra careful at night," Jet said. "Yes, sir," Alice said.
"And please close all the doors and lock them properly, ok?" Jet said. "Yes, sir," Lin said.
"Ok, I must be going now. Please take care. I don't want any of you getting hurt, ok?" Jet said. "Yes, papa, I understand," Faye said. Suddenly Ed wandered into the room and heard Jet's voice. "Papa-papa!!!"
"Edo? Edo, how are you?" Jet said. "Ed fine desu, papa-papa. How is papa-papa?" Ed said cheerfully. "I'm fine too, Edo. Now you must take care and have lots of fun!!" Jet said.
"Yes, bye!!" everyone said together.
Everything was silent for sometime as they thought about the conversion they just had with Mr. Black. Andy switched on the TV.
The same news was being shown. They showed a picture of Vincent and gave his information. Then the reporter began telling of Vincent's last attacks and how he did his work. Keeping in mind there were women in the room, Andy switched off the TV.
Again everything was silent.
"Ah…I guess we really have to be careful," Shin said slowly. "I'm scared," Alice whispered. Andy patted her. "Cummon, Alice," Andy said as he put his arm over her shoulder, "Nothing will happen. I tell you, the police will catch him soon and we can enjoy our vacation. Now, you shouldn't get scared, ok?" Alice nodded.
"We really need to be careful, ok guys?" Lin said. Everyone nodded. "I…I think I'll go and make some tea," Alice said and she got up slowly and walked to the kitchen. "I'll come with you," Julia said
"I'll just go and finish my book," Spike said as he got up but everyone looked at him with shifty eyes.
"You're going to read Cinderella, right?" Faye asked in a low voice. Spike glared at her and then walked away.
"I think I'll go too," Lin said and got up. "I'll go and help those two," Shin said.
------------
"Can I help you?"
Julia turned back to see Shin at the door. "Sure," Julia replied. She turned to the boiling tea. Shin picked up some cups and saucers from the cabinet. "Are you scared?" Shin asked as he cleaned the cups with a cloth. "I'm really scared," Alice said as she opened the larder.
"It's so scary that a homicidal maniac is one the loose…" Alice trailed off. "I wonder if the police will catch him," Shin said.
"Yeah, I hope they do that soon," Julia said as she lowered the flames on the stove. Alice turned to Shin, "Do you know anything about this guy? What's his name now…."
"Vincent," Shin supplied, "Yes, as you know he was a homicidal maniac and he used to murder people just for fun."
"How?"
"How? What do you mean?"
"I mean, why did he do that?"
"He said he loved the smell and taste of blood."
Alice shivered, "And…"
"And what?"
"What else do you know?"
Shin sighed, "Alice, I know lots of things about him but it's not right for you to hear…"
"Tell me," Alice begged. "No, Alice, you're too sensitive," Shin refused. "Please, Shin, I won't be able to sleep tonight if you don't tell me!" Alice begged.
"No, Alice, it's too gruesome. Tell her, Julia," Shin said. "Alice, what Shin says is true," Julia said, "You'll faint if you hear them."
"No!! Please, Shin," Alice said begged. Shin sighed. "Ok, but promise me you wont get pass out or something," Shin said. Alice nodded. "Ok, he used to rip out the victim's stomach and he used to pull out the kidn…"
"NO!!" Alice shouted suddenly and shook her head hard, "Don't!!" She wiped her hand on her apron and pulled out the biscuit tin, shivering a bit.
"See, I told you," Shin said as he put the cups near Julia. Alice didn't reply. She looked in front of her out of the window which faced the back of the house. There was a little moor at the back of the house followed by a small hill.
Turquoise eyes wandered over the moor. They suddenly stopped as if they had spotted something. Alice strained her eyes to see what it was. She recognized it. She gave a gasp and turned and gripped Shin's and Julia's arm and pulled them towards the window. "Shin, Julia," she whispered, still looking in the same direction. They looked at her quite confused. Shin turned then looked in her direction. His eyes widened and his jaw fell open.
Julia too turned and tried to find out what was so surprising. She looked in their direction and her eyes widened in surprise. "Oh my…" she whispered.
Shin pulled both of them back from the window and shut the window close. "We should tell the others," Shin said as he rushed out of the kitchen but Alice stopped him.
"No, Shin," she said, "No, Shin, please don't tell anyone. If Andy comes to know about it then he'll panic a lot and make a big issue out of it."
Shin looked at her, "Alice, it's too dangerous. Please, Andy has every right to make a big issue. It is a serious thing, isn't it Julia?"
"Ahh…I think Shin is right, Alice, but, Shin, I also think that it's better not to tell anyone," Julia said. Shin looked at Julia surprised.
Alice's eyes began to fill with tears. "Please, Shin?" she asked softly.
Shin sighed, "Ok, but we have to tell this to him one day or the other."
"Can we tell him tomorrow?" Alice asked. Shin nodded. "You won't tell him now, right?" Alice asked again.
"I promise," Shin said. Alice and Julia seemed to be relieved. "Now, we need to make tea, you know," Shin said.
"Oh yeah!"
--------------
"Ahhh…tea," Spike sighed contently as he sipped the hot tea. "Ahhh…tea," Julia mocked. Faye giggled.
"What's the time?" Lin asked. Vicious looked at his watch and said, "About 5:30." "I'll go and read a book after this," Julia said as she lay back on her chair, "Hey, what's this?" She pointed out to a thick glass vase.
"That's a vase, Julia," Spike said in a low voice. "I know that," Julia said indignantly to Spike.
"It's very expensive and very heavy and very dangerous," Alice said. "Dangerous?" Spike asked. "Yes, if its shards fall on you they'll cut right through your skin," Andy said.
"Oh my, you should take care not to drop it then," Faye said. Alice nodded. "I'd love to drop it on Faye!" Andy said. Faye glared at him. She took out a mallet out of nowhere and
WHAM!!!!!
"Owwww…" Andy nursed the huge bump on his head which glowed red. Ed picked up a toothpick and began poking the bump. "Oww…ow…ow…Ed!!" Andy shouted.
Ed looked at him with huge round golden eyes. Andy grumbled. "Hey, guys how about a game?" Faye asked.
"A game?" Julia asked. "Like?"
"Like catch-catch!" Faye said. "What's catch-catch?" Spike asked. "You've to run while the chosen person catches the others and if he catches you, you're the chosen one," Faye said.
Andy raised his eyebrow, "That's the game we used to play in kindergarten, isn't it?" "So what?!! You played Action Kamen so can't we play this?" Faye said hotly.
"Ok, so who will be the chosen one?" Andy asked. "Let's play Rock, Paper, Scissors!" Alice suggested.
"Ok, Rock," Shin said.
"Paper," Lin said.
"SCISSORS!!" Julia shouted.
Faye groaned. She was the only one who had gotten paper while all others got scissors.
"You are the chosen one!!!" Andy shouted and everyone got up and began running.
Faye got up and started running after them. She tried to catch them but it was really difficult.
"What doing?!!" Ed asked excited. "Faye-Faye catching you!! Run!!!" Andy shouted as he dodged Faye.
Ed squealed. "GAMEYY!!! ALL PLAYING A GAMEY!!!!" She began running around wildly. "Haha, Faye, you can never catch me!!" Andy shouted.
Faye fumed. "I'll get you!!!" she ran as fast as she could and was just within his reach when he dodged her and she slipped and fell.
"Ouch, Faye, that must have hurt!!" Andy said teasingly. Faye got up; everyone could see flames in those emerald shards. "She's going to blow!!!!" Spike shouted. Everyone scattered in the room.
"I'LL GET YOU!!!" Faye shouted and lunged at Alice who was the closest. Alice screamed and ran forward. Faye ran after her. Alice ran as fast as she could, dodging every table that came in the way. She saw Ein sitting peacefully and jumped over him. She was surprised at her actions.
"ALICE!!! SHE'S BEHIND YOU!!!!" Julia shouted. Alice snapped back to see Faye approaching her. Alice turned and ran towards the others who scattered at once watching her come towards them.
"Slowpoke!!! Slowpoke!!" Andy teased from behind the table. Faye glared at him, "Shut up!!!!"
"Slowpoke!!" Andy made faces at her. Faye turned and grabbed a pillow from the couch and threw it at him. Andy dodged it and stuck his tongue out at her.
Faye took a plastic bottle and threw it at him again and Andy just missed it by inches. "Ha!! You can never catch me!!!!" Andy said as he moved a bit towards his left. Faye grabbed many things in her hand-
A pillow, a flower from a nearby vase, another 2-3 bottles and flung them at him again. They went flying in all directions making the others duck. Faye suddenly grabbed the large vase without noticing it and flung it fast on Andy.
Andy's eyes widened as the deadly looking vase came towards him. He turned to his right and closed his eyes…
All he could hear next was a sound of shattering of glass and a scream. It was Alice's. Andy opened his eyes. Nothing had happened to him. He slid to the floor and put his hands on his lap. He suddenly felt something wet seep through his clothes. He touched his shirt and looked at his hands. They were…red.
Andy heard a scream. He turned to see Alice in tears. "Alice?" Strange he didn't feel any pain. He looked down to see what Alice was bending over. His eyes widened at the sight of shattered glass and a lifeless brown mould.
"EIN!!!"
Andy lurched and took the mould into his arms. He felt a liquid substance wetting his fingers as his fingers sunk into the fur.
He turned to his sister who was still. She was on her knees and looking down at the floor. Her face was hidden by her sun kissed curls. "Alice?" Andy whispered. She didn't move. Not a sound was heard.
The others slowly walked to her. "Alice," Spike called her softly but she didn't answer. Julia put her hand on her shoulder. "Alice? Are you all right?" she asked but Alice didn't answer.
Julia turned to Spike who shrugged. "Hey, are you all right?" Shin asked. "Alice? You hear me?" Lin asked as he gently shook her. "Hey, Alice," Andy said as he touched her shoulder, "Hey, sis, say something."
Alice got up slowly. The others too stood to their feet. Alice suddenly looked up and pointed to Faye.
"You…" she said pointing to Faye, "You're the one who did it…you killed him…" Faye gasped. Everyone stared at Alice. Her eyes were red and puffy and her hair was disheveled. It hung loosely around her shoulder and some of the strands sticking to her damp neck.
"I…"
"SHUT UP!!!!" Alice screamed making everyone surprised.
"But…"
"I said SHUT UP!!! Don't say a word!" Alice shouted, "You killed him!!! You killed my only friend. You witch!!! You killed him!! You murderer! How dare you!"
Faye's eyes widened to see Alice like this. Alice pointed to her again her hand shivering.
"I curse you, Faye!! I curse you! You'll die! You'll die a death just like Ein. I curse you!!" Alice shouted. She suddenly lurched forward and slapped Faye hard on the face. Faye felt the sting go right across her face and before she could recover she felt another one. "YOU MURDERER!!" Alice shouted, "You'll DIE!!!!" She raised her hand again to strike Faye.
Andy ran forward and got hold of Alice before she could strike Faye again. Alice struggled in his arms. Andy being much stronger held her and shook her.
"Alice, get a hold of yourself!!" Andy shouted as Alice tried to struggle. Andy shook her hard. "ALICE!!!!!"
Alice stopped. She suddenly fell silent. She stared at the ground. Faye slid to the floor, shocked.
"Alice?" Andy whispered. Alice looked up. Her eyes looked bloodshot and miserable. They had a look of pain. Fresh tears rolled down her cheek. She looked at Faye who was on the floor. Her cheek was red and scratched just where she had hit.
Alice realized what she had done and she bit into the rosy cushion of her lower lip. Her eyes slid to the floor. "I…I…"
She turned and ran out of the door. Everything was quiet. Andy walked to Faye and put his hand forward. Faye looked up. She was shivering. She hesitated to put her hand forward but then she saw warmth in Andy's eyes. She put her hand on his and got up. Andy took her in his arms. Faye sobbed.
"I'm sorry," she whispered burying her head in his chest. "Shhh…" Andy hushed her. The others looked at each other. Whatever happened was not good.
Julia turned and looked at the Ein's corpse. His brown fur was now enveloped with blood. She narrowed her eyes at the scene.
"Hey."
She snapped back. "What?" Spike looked at her. "What should we do now?" he asked.
Julia glanced at Faye and the corpse. "I don't know…"
------------
"Hey."
Alice looked up to see Andy. She had been sitting alone on the beach. It was dark now. She looked back to where she was staring. Andy sat down besides her although he could sense that he was not wanted here.
He stared at the waves like Alice. They were pretty, making graceful curves on the shoreline.
Andy could feel the growing discomfort Alice was feeling. He turned to her and opened his mouth to say something but stopped and looked away again.
"You wanted to say something?"
Andy turned to Alice. Alice didn't look t him but stared in front of her. Andy moved uncomfortably in the sand.
"Yeah…ah…Alice, you see…all that happened…was…was an…accident."
Alice turned to Andy, surprised. Her lisp parted for a moment. She looked away
"Accident?" Alice said suddenly, "You call that an…accident?"
Andy sighed, "Alice…"
"Alice what?!!! Tell me, Andy, Alice what? What should Alice do? She should sit quietly and just mourn…you don't understand…"
"I understand, Alice. It's you who is acting like a baby!" Andy shouted.
"Oh no!! You think that this is childish. You will NEVER understand how it is to be alone. You have friends and everything you ever want! You just leave me alone!!!"
Alice could sense Andy's temper but she didn't move. Andy caught hold of her arm and roughly turned her to his side.
"Look here, girl," He said, really angry, "You think you know each and every feeling in this world. You think you know everything. Listen to me now, everything which comes on the earth has to leave one day. Ein couldn't live for ever. He had to die someday or the other," Andy said lowering his tone. He continued gently, "Alice, try to understand…"
Alice sobbed. Andy's eyes widened. "Alice, don't cry," he said. Alice shook her head. "Andy, you can't deny this- Faye killed Ein…"
"She's right…" Andy thought. He put his hand on her shoulder. "I…I think you're right, Alice," he said softly. Alice looked at him. "See?" she said. "But now, I need you to forgive her, Alice," Andy said.
"But…"
"Alice, I need you…if you don't co-operate then we'll never be able to live in the same house as Faye. She is shaken up like anything."
Alice's gaze slid down at the sand. Her fingers sunk into the sand. She nodded. "Okay, but I won't forgive her for this," she whispered.
Andy smiled knowing that he couldn't force her. Maybe one day she'll change her mind. "Thanks, Alice."
Alice nodded. Suddenly they felt small drops of water hitting their faces. "Rain?" Andy wondered, "Let's go in."
-----------------
"Faye…"
Faye looked up at Julia. "Are you all right?" Julia asked as she set the tray on the table. Faye nodded as she shakily picked up the glass from it and held it to her lips. It was cold outside and the rain crashed down like crazy.
Julia sighed. She sat there for sometime. Then she got up, "I need to prepare dinner."
Faye rested her head on the table. All of them sat in the living room quietly. Lin turned to Andy.
"Andy, tell me wasn't that vase made from the Mayan Glass?" Lin asked. Andy nodded. Lin smirked.
"You know," he said loudly so that everyone could hear, "The breaking of Mayan glass is considered to be a bad omen…it means there will be a death soon in this house…beware…" he got up and walked to his room. He climbed the staircase and turned and opened the door to the boy's room.
Julia walked out of the kitchen. "Who wants dinner?" she asked cheerfully. No one answered.
"I won't be eating," Alice said quietly. "What? But…" Julia began. "I won't too." Andy interrupted.
"Shin?" Shin shook his head. "Spike, you…" Julia said as Spike too shook his head. "Vicious, at least you have dinner," Julia said. Vicious didn't reply.
Julia sighed in defeat. She got up and said, "Fine, I'll make some dinner for myself."
She walked to the kitchen closing the door behind her. Shin got up. "I'm going out for a while," He said. "In the rain?" Andy asked. Shin nodded. "Yes, I'll take an umbrella along with me, don't worry," he said.
Vicious too got up and walked to the threshold.
"Remember one thing; it's not safe now…so take care…" He said softly.
Alice got up and ran to the room where they had some books to read.
Andy too got up and decided to finish the boat which he had carved from a piece of wood. He got up and walked to the tool-shed. Spike looked at Faye who was still sitting quietly.
"Faye," he said. Faye looked up. "What?"
"Are you okay?" he asked. Faye looked away. "Leave me alone."
"What do you mean? I'm worried about you and you're saying this?" Spike demanded. Faye frowned. "Shut up, ok," she said.
Spike got up and walked to her. "I was just wondering and I was concerned, nothing else but I made a mistake about asking," he said, his voice caked with heavy sarcasm.
Faye looked up and looked fiercely. "You don't know what it feels like."
"Oh yeah? Yes, Ms Perfect, I don't know anything," Spike said sarcastically. Faye fumed.
"Of course you don't, Spiegel!! You're the worst person I've ever met, the most heartless of all!!!! And also I don't give a damn to that stupid mongrel!!" Faye shouted at him. Spike raised an eyebrow.
"You're the one who is heartless, Faye; I agree with Alice now, you're a murderer! And now you just wait and watch, you'll die too," Spike said.
"Damn you, Spiegel!" Faye shouted.
"Damn you, Black!!" Spike shouted back and walked away leaving Faye fuming. Faye got up and stomped upstairs.
Julia raised an eyebrow as she listened to this. Her expression was indefinable as she was about to cut the meat. She stopped.
"I don't want to have dinner now too." She thought as she put the meat away. She turned and walked out of the kitchen to rest for a while.
----------------
"Hey, Alice, I think you need to apologize to Faye," Shin said as they all sat down. "Where's Lin and Spike?" Andy asked. Spike entered just then, perspiring.
"Hey, what happened?" Andy asked as Spike sat down besides him. Spike shook his head hard. "Nothing," he panted. They suddenly heard footsteps from the doorway. Lin entered the room. He had his mysterious expression on his face.
"Alice, I really think you should talk to Faye about this," Shin said. Andy nodded. "Yeah, Alice, you should talk to her."
"Ah…"
"At least you can just ask her if she's fine." Andy said. Alice frowned. After a moment she turned to Andy. "Can I make hot chocolate for her?" she asked.
Andy nodded. "Yes, go ahead!" he said.
Alice got up and ran to the kitchen.
---------------
Alice staggered as she tried to climb the stairs with the tray in her hands. She had made it specially for Faye. She somehow climbed up the stairs and walked in the passage where the girl's and boy's rooms were.
--------------
"I hope she gave the hot chocolate to Fa-" Andy sentence was interrupted but the loud clatter of glass which was followed by a scream.
"What the-" Spike was cut in by Andy. "Alice!!" Andy shouted and rushed upstairs. "Andy!" Spike shouted and ran after him.
Spike climbed up the stairs fast and he overtook Andy.
Spike saw Alice and Julia in the passage. Alice stood there her eyes wide open with fear and Julia behind her concerned. Spike walked into the room. His eyes widened.
Andy heard a shout.
Andy raised his eyebrow. He didn't know what was going on. He decided to step into the room. He walked past shocked Alice and a very concerned Julia and inside the room and stopped…
What lay in front of him was unbelievable and gruesome.
Faye lay on the floor in a pool of blood. A scar ran from her head to her neck revealing blood. Her eyes were wide open. One of her ear dangled from her face. A trail of blood ran down her face. Her arm was almost sliced into half. Her pinky lay on the floor besides her. Her clothes were ripped and her stomach was cut into half and it almost revealed the organs inside. Her right leg was twisted and her left leg…her left leg was missing…
Pale skin was coated with red blood, fresh red blood. Tousled hair stuck to the blood on her face where violet and red mingled…her eyes…her eyes had a look of fear in them…
Andy stopped dead. He forgot how to breathe.
Faye…
From the corner of his eye he saw something else…her…her…left leg thrown on the floor…
Andy's eyes moistened. He advanced towards the mutilated body. He could hear faint sounds of footsteps and cries behind him. He slid to his knees. His brain suddenly stopped functioning. Lips parted but closed again. He wanted to say something but he couldn't.
Faye…
How was it? I tried to make the murder as gruesome as possible. The Mayan glass thingy is not true. I couldn't think of anything else. No offence to Maaya Sakamoto :). And also that 'Tea' thingy is based on my mom ((and me to some extent)) :).
Thanks to-
AshK- LOL!!! I got the same thing. Alert for chapter 4 before 3!!
Mask Rider Roy- :) Thanks for the review. Thanks a lot!!!
space raider- I was waiting for your review!!!! I'm soooo glad you reviewed.
Well, I'm having a doubt about this thing-
Should I rate this story 'M' because of the murder scene? Maybe no, why should I change the whole story rating because of one chapter?
Please tell me. Please review!!! It took me soooo much of time to write this chapter and I wanted to make it as interesting as possible.
I hope I've not written a rushed and a bad chapter.
Hey, I want an honest answer from you all-
Do you really like this story or is it just for the sake of it? I mean tell me honestly if you hate it and maybe I'll delete it if you hate it…
I'm not sure now…well, I'm a bit scared about how the flow of the story is going. I'll need again 5 reviews to update. Tell me honestly…
I'm really feeling down today for some reason…sorry if the story is really bad… I'm losing confidence…
Bye
Miki
PS If you're wondering what catch-catch is I don't know the exact name in English. In my language we call it 'Pakada-Pakadi' and the word to word translation is 'Catch-Catch'. In that game one has to run and catch the others and if he touches anyone then the person whom he touches is the one who will catch now.
