Chapter 2 Horror

Chapter Two

''Shut the fuck up! '' Clara James shouted, standing up from the couch; she paced around the room for some seconds, while mumbling some things to herself.

''Well, I don't need you anymore, I have your baby now; and that's what matters ! My plan is going to go on perfectly well '' She laughed hysterically like a witch till a little tear dropping from her eyes

"And you know how I will do that? I will kill you both now. You may be thinking, oh!, I have two kids, ha-ha, sorry, I've killed them both! So you see, I'm just inches away from achieving my goal and don't you dare touch your cell phones , I came with almost fifty men and you can't do anything even if you call the police because the police are working for me!'

She laughed again, shifting her gaze to his mom; ''You've always wanted to be with her, no problem I'll let you have her, but that would be in your grave! ''

His mother burst out crying when she heard what she just said; Mathew was shuddering inside the wardrobe, he could not even move, he silently prayed that all these was a nightmare.

She had killed his sister Laila!! Tears gathered his eyes as he bit the back of his palm trying to force them back, he could feel the metallic taste of blood on his tongue but he couldn't risk exposing himself.

He watched her dip her hand into the inside of her coat and took out a small, another loaded gun.

''This gun right here, it is a paperweight, you won't even hear a sound, nor would you feel anything, until your blood fills your mouth and you drop dead. '' She raised it and removed the safety, then aimed it at his mother's head;

No matter how much he wanted to look away, he could not bring himself to. Matthew sat still, watching the woman aim a gun at his mother; he was helpless, thoroughly helpless.

''Vicky, please, we can talk about this... wait...how much do you want? I can give you anything to stay away from my family ....'' Not interested in what he had to say; she fired the gun, but it wasn't on her head, she shot Matthew 's mother in her neck and blood immediately started gushing out.

''No!! No! What have you done? What have you done! My wife ! My darling wife! '' His father cried as he held his mom to his chest; his mom was not dead yet, it was as though the woman had intended what had happened; she intentionally shot her in the neck to make her death slow and painful;

His mom's blood flowed like the water from a loose tap; splashing on the wall, the rose-coloured bed sheets turned dark red in a matter of seconds;

His father tried to stop the blood flow with his hands but it wasn't working; his mother gurgled and choked on her blood until she died in his arms;

Tears flowed from his father's eyes as he watched his wife's life seep away slowly;

''My bad; I wasn't trained to use a gun, but come on, why the tears, wasn't it epic? ''

She asked; her laughs vibrating through the room while her men watched her without moving an inch. Matthew wanted to storm out but he knew that she would kill him. He couldn't fight 10 men alone without any weapon and his phone was in his room getting charged , he felt his heart shattering into pieces.

''Kill me and get done with it! You daughter of Satan!'' His father screamed; his whole body soaked in his wife's blood;

''Oh yes, baby! I will do that now; '' She aimed the gun at his head;

''I hope in your next life, you make the right choice, goodbye Alexandra ! '' And poof the trigger went off and his father fell backward; his head fell just below the edge of the bed, which made his eyes stare straight at Matthew ;

Blood trickled down his forehead and dropped on the ground;

''Find the boy and cut his throat before he ruins my plan !''

''Yes, boss! ''

She stared at the corpses for a moment and then smiled victoriously, took a video and some pictures with her cell phone before walking out of the room, the men following suit.

If anything should be more damaging, it was the fact that he had to stare at his parents' dead bodies for close to five hours before the police officers came by the house and rescued him. That's when they noticed the body of his sister Laila was not found and no one knows exactly what happened to her.

The incident scarred him for life; he lost every person he loved, his sister, his parents, in a single day, and he had watched them die and from then onwards his life became a horror.

He didn't speak for close to a month throughout his stay at the hospital where a police man was always guarding him, to make the matter worse the television in his hospital room kept showing the pictures and dead bodies of his parents in their news headlines.

"You have to talk so that we can help you find the killers of your parents and also help you look for your missing sister. I keep showing you the news so that you know that your life is now a mess and it will only get better if you cope-rate with the police and tell us what you know and what you saw with your eyes" the policeman pleaded with the mute Matthew but Matthew didn't say a word which made the policeman angry and very frustrated.

To make matters worse, he kept dreaming about the family heirloom his father gave him for his eighteenth birthday party. In the dream the ring gave him powers and made him become a billionaire but Matthew was not stupid.

He knows that his life was about to become hell because he lost his sister and parents so is it possible for an ordinary ring to save him and make his miserable life better? He can't even trust the police because some of them are working with the evil witch ,the devil herself called Clara James .
