And Then You Die.
*Chapter 3*
I open the door to my house, slamming it tightly behind me.
I look towards the end of the door, eyeing the lock.
Nobody here ever uses their door locks, and neither does my family, but for some reason, I don't feel safe.
I turn the lock quickly and head up the stairs, jumping when I hear my older sister, Elsa's, voice peirce my ears.
"Keely!" She yells, handing me the phone.
"It's for you."
I take the phone and hold it to my ear.
"Hello Keely, it's Mrs. Curtain." The farmiliar voice rings through the reciever.
"Oh, hi Mrs. Curtain!" I speak casually.
"How can I help you?"
"Well, I'm sure you've heard the Trinity didn't come to school today." She whispers quietly.
"She left for school quite a bit early this morning claiming she had to do some project with you, is that true?"
I mechanically shake my head back and forth, than stutter when I realise that she can't see me.
"Um, N-no. Not that I know of." I mumble.
"I just don't understand." She reveals to me.
"Trinity is always a good girl. She does as she is told, and never keeps anything from me. She has never kept secrets from me before, has she?"
"No, never." I lie, recalling all of Trinity's "little white lies" from the past.
"Well, I'm suspecting...hoping that she will be back soon, where ever she went." she says.
Her words make me shudder.
"Yes, me too. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about though, Mrs. Curtain. Our town is safe."
At least, I think so.
*****
I wake up to a loud noise coming from outside.
It sounds like cannons going off, one, two, three times.
And then, there is dead silence.
I pull the covers off, getting out of my bed, pushing my bangs from my eyes.
I look out my window, but it's too dark to see anything.
I pull my robe tighter around me, shivering quietly, as I hobble downstairs.
Elsa is already awake, walking towards my deriction.
"Did you hear that?" she asks me, her eyes wide with fear.
"Yeah, should we wake up mom and dad?" I ask.
"Yes, wait here, I'll go get them." She commands me.
She races down the hall to our parent's bedroom, and I walk towards the door, slowly turning the knob, against my sister's orders.
I grab the flashlight that is dangling from the coat hanger and turn it on, walking quietly outside.
The old me would have ran upstairs, crying and hiding under my bed like a baby.
But ever since Trinity dissapeared, I have gotten a decent amount of courage.
I walk down the porch and lightly curse to myself when I trip over something on the ground.
I stop frozen when I feel a warm liquid swallowing my entire foot.
I turn my flashlight down, and stare in pure shock.
A dead body lays on the ground, the object that I have just tripped over.
And the warm liquid that I has stepped in is a massive puddle of dark red blood.
I try to scream, but my lips are unmoving, frozen solid.
Suddenly, I am holding a gun in my hand, and the dead body is Trinity.
"How could she kill her?" A voice calls out.
"How could you kill your best friend?"
I wake up, a layer of sweat drenching my body.
"Just a dream." I remind myself.
More like a nightmare.
