Lexie scurried to Yvonne's room where her sisters' corpses were and went under the bed. She was trying her hardest to control her heavy breathing and was afraid whoever was at the door might find her. Eventually, she heard the distant sound of an eruption, plus something crashing, and she knew they'd broken into the house. With this, she began to tremble.The random sound of footsteps and different voices chattering told her that a group of people had just broken in."...sure this is her home?" A deep voice asked from the hallway."Yes, sir!" Another man answered distantly."The place is damned bloody! Jeez!"Lexie was alert, attentively listening to their conversations and the noises from their search for her. Now, they were walking up the stairs."That girl is a f*cking killer." The deep voice said."Can't believe she disappeared from the cell.""Mysterious, man."A few seconds later…"Oh my God! Oh, my f*cking god!!" Someone exclaimed and she knew they must have seen Mom and Dad's
As soon as the sergeants entered the station everyone's lips dropped in astonishment as they were all bleeding from different parts of their body. Doctor Jake and the two ladies gazed curiously at them as they walked past.***As the door creaked open, Mr. Halls glanced expectantly as each of them walked into his office, and his brows furrowed in a deep frown when the last man shut the door. "Where's she?!" He inquired sternly.The men glanced briefly at themselves. Their superior didn't care about their injuries, or how messed up they were."Chase?!!""Sir!" Chase was dumbfounded. Everything seemed like a dream to him."You lost her again?! Chase?!" The man said and blew out. "I still don't understand what happened last night." Mr. Halls said, casting a grave speculating look at him. "What are you up to, Chase?!"As Chase lowered his gaze, blood dripped from his right eye to the floor randomly and he tried to wipe it off with his palm."Aren't you ashamed that one teenage girl beat f
Lexie didn't realize how long she'd been standing and staring into space when a car's honk sipped into her ears, intruding on her thoughts. Her heart suddenly leaped like it wanted to swoop from her mouth. When she heard car doors banging from a distance, she realized how much trouble she'd got into. Someone was coming. Her bewildered eyes flashed across the living room in search of a hiding place…but it appeared there was no hiding place for her. "She's right in there!!" Chase was the first to storm into the living room, followed by three other men pointing their guns. "Right here!" Chase darted his eyes in search of her but she wasn't there. Then he tore his gaze at the stairs. "Mark! We're going upstairs while you two will stay here! She must be somewhere!!" Her heart was thumping wildly and the knot in her stomach tightened drastically, it felt like her stomach and chest were crushing and about to explode. Each beat of her heart ached excruciatingly, igniting heat in her bod
Chase wouldn't risk going back home this time. He would rather stay and watch her all night if that's what it takes.After locking the cell, Chase was about to turn when Lexie said, "Wait!" And he stopped abruptly."Don't leave me here, please" She said shakily. "Stay with me…"This surprised Chase, but he said nothing."Look, I've not been the one behind these murders…" She whimpered, sniffling. "I wasn't the killer of my parents…and…Leanna…I promise." Her voice was breaking as she sobbed. "I was only trying to defend myself because I knew no one would…" She coughed and sniffled. "Believe…me."She couldn't stifle the cry anymore, so she burst out crying, grasping hard at the cell gate. Chase's face was emotionless and his glare was cold like ice. "So, what the f*ck were you doing in my house?! You even threw a penknife at my wife! You bloody liar!! You attempted to murder me but ended up injuring my right eye! You're a f*ckin' murderer and you gonna pay for this!""She sent me…" Lex
Sure that Lexie had not escaped this time, Chase finally left her the following morning.Enquiring about Lexie was the first thing Mr. Halls did once he got to his office. But he rather questioned Chase with an intent gaze and Chase understood immediately."I watched her throughout the night so she couldn't steal a chance to escape," Chase announced proudly with relief and joy gleaming in his left eye.With a glance at the bandage on Chase's right eye, Mr. Halls asked, "Is the injury that bad?"His superior must be in a good frame of mind to care about his injury for the first time. "Well, it hurts," Chase shrugged. "I just hope it hasn't blinded me."The man only shrugged and said, "Bring the girl."•°•°•°•°•Walking through the hallway to the cell, Chase was clapping, calling her name all along, "It's time! It's time, b!tch!" But she didn't respond. From afar, she appeared to be sleeping. "Hey, Lexie! Wake up!"He got to the cell and shook the gate, "Wake up, Lexie! Are you still as
With curiosity and terror glinting in Mr. Halls' eyes, he was gazing expectantly at the door when another sergeant, Lucia, walked in."Sir!" She saluted firmly. "There's this lady, Chloe Jones, who wishes to speak with you.""A lady?" He echoed the blonde sergeant. "What did she say?""She said Lexie's her niece," Lucia said. "And she wanna speak with you. She's in a fit of panic, sir."A fit of panic. Mr. Halls sighed, feeling distressed and exhausted. The whole thing was complicated. Lexie had never mentioned she had an aunt. He thought and heaved a sigh again. " Let her in, then…" This was unusual.***In no time, a tall brown-haired lady in a short sleeveless free gown walked into his office. Not like he cared but she was stunning like her niece, Lexie. No doubt about them being related 'cause they look alike. But her countenance was grave."Do have a seat." Mr. Halls gesticulated to the chair across from him, smiling with just a side of his lips slightly pulled, wondering what sh
Neither Chase nor Mr. Halls could take their thoughts off the mystery behind Lexie's unpredictable death. They'd both listened to Lexie's record, the one Chase recorded last night before she passed away…and now someone else has confirmed that there's a supernatural entity behind this. The Lady.It's time for the truth about Lexie to unfold. Mr. Halls thought. This was the most difficult case he'd ever handled in his entire life."Could I at least speak with Lexie?" Chloe asked and both men exchanged glances.Oh God! How would they go about this?Rubbing his forehead with his right hand, Mr Halls sighed. "Oh, yeah. But we gotta finish talking and conclude."The way her blue eyes were blazing showed she wasn't comfortable with the idea but she sat still."Do you have evidence to prove that Lexie called you?" Mr. Halls asked. "And to prove you're her relation? 'Cause we can't trust anyone as it stands now."Damn! She rolled her eyes. "Evidence? What kinda evidence?""Like a record or som
"Hey, ma'am!" The men chorused in the dark."Are you alright??!" Mr. Halls asked and the light suddenly turned on again, revealing their bewildered gazes, especially Chloe's.She was so alarmed. "D…did you touch me?" She asked Chase who frowned at her."Why would I?" He asked with a puzzled look. "What do you mean?""I felt something strange…" Chloe said quiveringly, examining her chest and cheek with her fingers. "Someone touched me. I…I felt the hand…it was ice cold."Having heard this, Mr. Halls recollected what he'd seen earlier—that black hand with long angled nails creeping into his office before vanishing in split seconds.'Was that the lady?' He wondered within him.At this point, Chloe had flushed red as she kept touching where it hurt. "My whole body hurts!" She shrieked severally. "My face hurts. Something isn't right…""There's another record you must listen to." Mr. Halls told her. "It's similar to what Lexie told you though." He used Chase's phone to replay last night's
