“What's that noise coming from?” We both looked at each other.
“Let's go!” In an instance, we ran to the kitchen, but there's only a stain of blood. I think it's from an animal.
“Guys, look,” Sammy said. There's a hawk, and its head was cut off.
My stomach turned upside down, and I want to vomit in a minute, “Gross,” I murmured.
“Let's keep going,” he said. As usual, he doesn't have any expression.
We went to their backyard, and it seems like there's something was burned in here, because of the ashes on the ground that from the thing.
I think, that thing was made from paper.
“The ashes were still warm, it's new, It seems like a few minutes had passed before we saw this,” Harvey stated. I agree with his statement.
“Let's go home, I think that's all for now, Sammy, come with me, I will take you to the hospital.” I wonder if what's happening between Sammy, and Harvey.
“By the way, I can take care of myself, don't worry,” I said sarcastically.
Like, hello, I'm still a girl, and it's already 5 in the afternoon.
My house was far from this place. I showed them my car keys and took a heavy sigh as if they're want to accompany me.
“Let's go, Sammy.” Harvey holds Sammy's hand, and they begin to walk away from this house.
Because of the irritation, I harshly slammed the door and decided to go to the place where I parked my car.
30 minutes have been already passed, but I'm still on the long road.
The sky was already a bit dark, and few stars were appearing. All of a sudden, my phone beep.
It's a message from Harvey McKenzie, he said, “We're here at the hospital, take care, drive safely.” Relax, Sapphire, focus on the road.
I massage my temple. My head is aching, I'm still having works to do, and I need to go home immediately.
“TSK, lots of work, lots of tasks,” I murmured between my unbelievable thoughts.
Tomorrow is Tuesday, more days to suffer in this hell.
My eyes widen, and I felt like my soul left my body.
“Shocks!” I accidentally bumped into something.
What will I do? Am I going to check it? Or just go ahead, and ignore this. No, that's wrong, I need to check that.
My heart feels like it's going to throw up, and my body is trembling.
I gasped for air because I feel like I can't breathe.
The darkness conveyed the sky, it's already dark in here. Only the lights from my car help me to see this thing.
I'm hoping that this was not a human or a child.
My conscience can't take it if that will happen.
I'm relieved. There's nothing in here.
I think that was only my imagination.
“Hmm, that makes my heart beat like a beating drum, calm down self.” I went back to my car and immediately starts the engine.
Otherwise, I should be at our house before 7 in the evening. Good thing, I reached the main road. My heart starts to calm.
Full of lights from the street, and different buildings. I'm hungry. My eyes glazed over.
As usual, I'm stuck in the traffic. Time check, 6 in the evening.
I looked at the rearview mirror.
“What's that?” My eyes are squinting, “Shook,” I whispered. There's something at my shotgun seat, and the lights are reflecting on it.
It has long brunette hair, but its hair was covering the face.
My eyes widen.
It couldn't be, focus on the road, Sapphire.
Don't mind that, it's just an imagination.
30 minutes had passed, but I decided to go to the drive-through because I'm hungry.
I think that's a good explanation for that.
However, the strange thing suddenly disappeared, and yeah, it's fine with me.
“One large fries, and a regular burger with one large coke, please,” after I stated my orders, I waited for a few minutes.
Gladly, it's correct, and I started to eat. What do you expect? I will stare at the food?
Do you think my hunger will be solved by staring at the food? No, of course.
After the annoying time, while I'm driving, the radio suddenly cast some news.
“As of tonight, the policemen found a dead body of a young girl at the bridge, the rumors said, the young girl was a victim of torturing as the results of the missing nails of her fingers, both the feet, and hands.”
I gasped for air. From my perspective, if that's what they saw, it's positive to torturing, but they must know if the suspect has a different agenda.
“No one witnessed the scene, so the investigators and policemen were having some difficulties, however, we're hoping that the case will solve as soon as possible,” the newscaster said.
“We are giving a warning to all people who are listening to us, take care, especially to those children, stay safe!” The radio suddenly turned off.
“Hmm, that's horrible,” I murmured.
I arrived at my house. It's still the same, without any noises coming from the people inside the house. Well, It's not new to me.
My parents were in a different country, they are workaholics.
I opened the door and turned on the lights around the house. Nothing that much, still the same.
Since I'm done for dinner, I cleaned my things and went to my room to do some night routine.
“This is life, plenty of struggles, and stress, plus the problems of your loved ones.”
I closed my eyes and slightly sinks my body into this warm water. This is one of my routines at night, before going to bed.
Sometimes, I'm drinking a cup of tea, or a cup of milk, it depends on my mood. I heard my phone rang.
“Fine! Annoying as always, this white hair brat is getting to my nerves!” I exclaimed.
I can't help but shout because of my irritation.
“Hello,” I heard laughed, and it makes me feel like it's insulting me.
“What do you want? Really? At the 9 in the evening you're going to call me, and just laughed when— psh! Do you need something?”
Sapphire, keep calm and have a manner to him.
“Nothing, I'm just checking if you're still alive, and kicking, see you tomorrow! Goodnight!”
The call ended.
