URBAN LEGENDS
Flashback:
He proceeds to the fridge to get water. Instead of water, red liquid filled the jugs and pitcher. Droplets of red liquid were running down from the freezer. He opened it and saw a bloody arm in it. The arm was full of cuts. He swallowed hard when he saw the familiar ring on one of its fingers. It was his uncle's ring!
CHAPTER 2
He was frozen on that spot when an ear-splitting scream made him come back to his senses. His wife screamed again. Afraid of what was happening, he immediately ran up the stairs to their bedroom. He opened the door and saw his wife shivering from fright in a corner of their room. He ran to her and hugged her. He tried calming her but it wasn't working.
"B-blood… E-e-every-where…" his wife cried while hugging his arm. He frowned and flicked the nearest switch open.
Light showered the whole room. His wife cried even more hysterical. He was petrified and afraid for both of them.
Their room was bathed in blood. The walls that were once a shade of pale blue was now painted red. The carpeted floor was soaking wet of blood. The curtain windows were torn and bloody handprints covered it. He looked at their bed. It was drenched with blood. But what horrified him even more is that a chopped leg was lying on their bed!
He made up his mind. He took the cleanest towel he can find and wrapped his wife with it. She was still sobbing and shaking. He helped her up and put an arm around her. They were at the hallway when they heard footsteps coming from the first floor. They looked at each other. He dragged his wife in a room.
"Calm down… Sshh… I'll check on what's going down there, okay? I'll-"
"NO! Don't leave me! I-I'm scared!"
"Shh… Darling, I'll come back. We'll get out of here safe. So wait for me here, okay?"
"B-but… but… you might get killed by the maniac! I-I don't know what I'll do!"
"Darling, trust me. I'll come back," he said. He cupped her face and kissed her. He pulled away and smiled.
He looked at his wife tenderly. He had a strange feeling that this might be the last time they'll see each other. The last time that he can hold her in his arms. His last time to look at those beautiful eyes of her. Their last kiss.
"I love you. Always remember that."
"I love you too. Please don't go…"
"I'll be back. We'll be together again, okay? We'll be alright. Trust me my love."
Then he left and locked the door.
'If ever the worst comes, at least I can buy her time to be safe until rescue comes. I love you my dear.'
He went down with the shotgun on his hands. He went to the kitchen. Nothing. He went to the parlor. Nothing. Then he went to the library. Nothing.
He thought, 'what the hell is going on here? Ruining our honeymoon like this is an outrage! To hell with the psycho who did this! I'll kill him!'
THUD!
He turned on his heel and headed to the living room.
Multiple gunshots were heard.
THUD!
CLANK!
BANG!
Those sounds echoed in the house.
His wife was becoming even more paranoid with every second she was locked up in the room. The noise was not helping too. She knew something bad would happen. She does not know what to do. She knew that if she went out that door, she would risk everything.
Silenced ensued.
She felt goose bumps all over her. 'Silence… This is not good. Something might have happened.'
Heavy footsteps were heard. It stopped then started coming up the stairs.
'NO! This can't be. It's not him… Those footsteps are not his! He's dead! No!' she screamed in her mind.
The footsteps continued and stopped in front of her door. She held her breath afraid of what might greet her.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
The door opened slowly. Her eyes locked at the being in front of her. She was shocked beyond anything else. She covered her mouth with her hand to fight the scream from coming out. Her eyes widened upon realizing who the shadowy person was. She couldn't believe it.
'No! This can't be!'
