Into the Devil's trap

Episode one.

Nichole POV:

"Two packs of baby diapers, Three pack of tissues papers, Four new toothbrush! and just one toothpaste. Oh! I forgot to add Sanitary pads. " Aunt Maggie listed everything as she bring out some cash put from her purse.

"Add one more....3 pack of cigrate and one bottle of liquor!." Noel--Her husband said while he lit his cigrate.

Oh my! How do I remember all these?

What kind of life have I come? A wicked aunt and a drunkard uncle. Damn it!

"But...Aunt...I.."

"What do you want to say? You can't go or what??" She yelled cutting me off.

"No aunt but...it's pouring heavily out there, you don't expect me to go in the rain." I said as I swallow hard staring at her scary face.

"How do that concern me? I have no business with that! You should go now, you hear me?!." She yelled while her husband look at me smirking.

"Should I use the Umbrella aunt?" I asked but instead she scoffed

"I didn't buy the umbrella because of a Numbskull like you! Remember I gave birth to my own child...I bought the umbrella for her, you get that!." She yelled as she pull me out.

I fight back the tears that wanna pour outta my eyes. No...Not now.

I ran out of the house standing under the rain ..even with the fact that she's my mom's immediate sister. Sometimes I find it hard to believe she's really my aunt!

I ran to the Gladys house, that place is safer than the beast my aunt Margareta is. I knock on her door and she opened immediately. Gladys is more like a friend to me.

"Am sorry to disturb you Gladys...my aunt sent me out" I said while she offered me to sit.

"I know...sorry about that dear "She smiled handing me a cup of warm tea. I sip even though I haven't eaten since.

"You know, that your Aunt don't act like one at all! She's too wicked like how could she sent you out under the rain? For what reason exactly?" She muttered while I nod and smiled.

"Like I was told, Mom abandoned me right after she gave birth to me. Sometimes I keep wondering why my own mom leave me behind and let me suffer like this! Am just fed up!." I said frustrated while Gladys move closer patting me on my shoulders.

"It's fine...it's OK. " she consoled while the tears have been holding back came rushing down to my cheeks.

" I should go now before Aunt start to look for me...you know what she's capable of doing and I want to take a look at Ken. He's not been picking my calls these days. " I stood up as I make my way to the door.

"You and this Ken? Can you trust him?? Like, hope he's not like other men out there who's ready to f**k anything under skirt?."She asked rolling her eyes. I pull her hand closer and smiled softly.

"See Gladys, Ken loves me and I trust my boyfriend..he wouldn't dare betray me like some men out there. I trust him more than anything! I confide in him so much...and I love Ken. I believe he would be the one to get me out from Margareta's threats." I found myself blushing as I mention Ken's name.

"Okay...I hope so, I just want the best for you dear." She said while I nod and with that I walked out of her apartment. The rain has stopped so I made my way to Ken's house.

I reached Ken's apartment and there I met his Motorcycle outside. Thank goodness! He's around...I was about calling him but an idea pop into my brain. I should appear to him like a surprise!

I miss my boo so much. I climb up the stairs that led to his room. I beamed happily as I nervously knocked on his door.

I knock but no response...Is he sleeping? I look at flower vase beside his apartment...there I found a spare key.

Just in case you don't know, I know every thing about my boo. I use the key to open the door....

Huh? What? Scattered clothes all around and it's definitely not Ken's clothes!---- Bra??! What the hell is going on here?!

I started hearing moans...what on earth is going here?... My heart started pounding and I was beginning to get wrong ideas...Yeah, wrong ideas!

I shake my head repeatedly. Ken wouldn't do that to me...he wouldn't do that to me. I ran towards his room and there the moans grew louder and instantly without any further ado, I opened the door.

No?...no! No!!!! Ken's is cheating??

"Ken!!" I screamed and immediately the both of them flinch getting off the bed.

"Nicole...I can---."He tried coming close to me but I landed a slap on his face.

"How dare you do this! How dare you have S*x with a cheap whore! You're a bloody ingrate! I hate you!" I yelled while I sob softly.

My heart broken and shattered...I trusted him so much...why?

"Nichole...please " He tried touching me.

"Don't you dare touch me! If you don't want me to do what you will regret!." I pointed my fingers at him. He was looking like the bastard he was.

I walked out of his room sad, angered and broken. Fuvk love! Fuvk that stupid love!

"Nicole! Nicole! Nicole!."I heard that bastard calling but I was fast to run downstairs.

Then, the rain started dropping...once, twice till it became heavy but right now I don't care about the rain.

I cried in the rain...I walked like a mad person inside the rain. My tears joined the rain to dropped. Lonely I walked along the street.

To be continued.

Episode 2

Margareta's POV:

"Where on earth has this good for nothing girl gone to?! Am gonna deal with her mercilessly when she comes back!" I yelled as I walk to and fro. Noel gulp down his liquor...stinky man!

"Yooou....should stop worrying about that.....niece of yours....she's....she's not....even.....Nicho......"

I threw a pillow at him before he finishes the statement. Damn it! What a blabber mouth!

"Shut up! Just shut it Noel! You're just drunk!"I yelled while he smiled like a fool he was.

"Okay....myyyy...dear....Maggie...."He passed out as he dropped the bottle on the floor. Stupid man! Argh!

"That girl should better not enter this house or else she would join her mother in where ever she went!" I yelled while I saw Ivy coming out of her room.

"And where do you think you're going!"I screamed at her, she flinched and started shedding tears.

"Go-back-to-your-room Now!"She instantly walked back to her room. I ran my fingers into my already messy hair. I can't believe am in this state because of that good for nothing girl! Esperanza, you should have just taken that good for nothing daughter of yours with you!

"You should calm yourself down. Ivy is just a kid and you yelled at her that much?." I heard someone said from behind. I turn.

"oh! Luca, when did you arrive? I thought you said you were attending to an important business?"

"I came to see you. I saw your Letter for me"He walked closer.

"Why are you worried? I made sure the grocery store was closed and believe me no one would dare to go there "He added and then I heaved out.

"You don't know how dangerous to leave that grocery store open, It's even much worst if Tascia goes there." I took a sit on the couch. Rubbing my sweaty hands together.

"Where's she?" He asked taking a sit beside me.

"And that's where the problem is! She left the house for like couple of hours ago! This is 8pm..she hasn't come back! What if..what if she finds out about the grocery store? What if......"

"I'm Home....Auntie Maggie." I heard her voice from the entrance. I sprang up on my feet and hurried to the entrance. Luca stayed behind.

"Where have you been?" I asked while she sniff...wait; is she crying?

Well, how on earth does that concerns me?.

"Auntie Maggie...I couldn't go to the mall to buy all the things you sent me because of the rain ."She muttered. I rolled my eyes.

"What? Why did you come back in the first place?! You should have just died on the road instead!" I yelled and was about landing a slap on her face. Her hand stopped me half way.

Whaat?? How dare her hold my hand? Has she finally gone nuts??

"Auntie...don't you dare slap me! I...have the right to live here and come back whenever I want! You and I both know that my dad owns this house! You get that!." She was looking straight into my face. She's different from the Nicole I know...Nichole would never raise her voice at me! Not even once!.

"How dare you...How.."

"No more words from you Aunt! No more! I had a long and bad day, please don't add to it...if you don't want me to send you packing instead!" She warned and like I was charmed I was looking at her like a moron. She barged inside her room.

I hold onto my chest...it was hurting to know that stupid girl is now talking back at me! How...how dare her! Even her mother dare not!

"She's getting out of hand...Maggie

What should we do? " Luca walked beside me.

"Get Rid of her before she becomes worse than her mother!."I tightened on my fist.

That girl will pay! After everything have done for her!.

Nichole's POV:

I walked into my room...tears pour like a river, it streamed down my cheeks. I locked my door and lean on it. I was wet...but I don't care cause am devastated and not in my right mind.

Am in big trouble tomorrow for talking and raising my voice at my aunt.. She can send me out of this room...I don't care! Am just fed up! Fed up with life!

I squat on the floor, I look at my phone screen...4missed calls? One from that jerk and 3 from Gladys.. Yeah, I told her about the heartbreak I met. I should call her later cause right now I don't feel like talking to anybody!

I stood up on my feet...I climb on my bed, sleep is not coming..Headache, heartbreak is what's coming. I need to clear my head. I should stroll out.

I walked out of the room and it seems like aunt has gone to sleep. Well, it's better that way.

I step out of the house...it was also dark and one thing about our street is that everything goes like a grave yard when it's late. The only thing I could hear was the chipping of birds.

I look at the Grocery store at the front of our house...this grocery store has been locked for over years now. Like auntie said, It was the only thing mom left. She owns it...

I wonder why she has to lock it immediately after her disappearance? I should check out what it looks like in the inside.

I walked towards it. Something feels strange...like, it's calling me to come closer...I walk faster to check what's so weird about it.

"Stop right there!."

I heard auntie's voice behind. Huh? I thought she's asleep?

What's she doing out?

Episode 3

Nichole's POV:

"Aunt?." I turn to her, she was looking scary.

"Where do you think you're going" She asked coming closer, She was with someone I couldn't see his/her face.

"Why do you care aunt? What's your own concern aunt?" I asked still maintaining my spot. I just don't know why I suddenly develop the courage to speak back at aunt. Something is really strange.

"Do you think those question of yours would solve the problem here? You have no right to go into that store. You hear me!."She yelled and got to where I was. The person that was with her show up his face.

I knew it! It's Luca! The he-devil that helps Aunt Maggie carry out her plans. I don't know why he devotes his whole life to aunt!

"It would be wise if you don't go there Nik" He said in his cold voice as ever. I rolled my eyes and scoff.

"Aunt...how do you expect me to obey you? This! This store is the only memories I have of my mother! How could you aunt?"I yelled. I was so mad at her right now.

"You know nothing Nichole..." She said staring at me but who give a fuvk about that?

"Make me understand! Make me understand why you hate me so much! Make me understand why I was neglected like a person with incurable disease??!"I yelled as I ran my fingers into my hair.

"I don't know! I don't hate you! I just don't want you to get hurt like your mother!."She yelled back and for the first time in forever, Aunt Maggie's eyes filled with tears.

Something inside of me doesn't want to believe her...what if she's lying? I can't be fooled.

"You know what?, I rather into my Mom's grocery store than believe your lies!" I shook my head as I walked towards the grocery store. I was about holding the door lock when I felt something pierced into my chest. I touch my chest...blood?

"Die! Die instead!"Aunt yelled into my hearing as she pierced the sharp knife into my chest.

A--aunt? Why? Why on earth would she stab me? I collapse to the floor, my heart aches and it was as if I will be dead anytime soon.

"This is for your own good Nichole. "That was the only thing I could hear from her. My eyes went blurry and soon it went blank. I passed out.

I coughed out and open my blur eyes, Why-Why is it blurry and dark in here? Why is it dusty?

Where is this place? Where am I??

I coughed again and I didn't have any strength anymore. I passed out on the cold floor.

Maggie's POV:

"What?! She did what?!" I yelled as I couldn't understand what Luca just said.

"She...disappear. I was about to bury her then within a twinkle of an eye. I could not find her corpse any longer. " He said and I knew Luca isn't someone who lies.

"Damn it! Where on earth did she go?"I bit my fingers.

"Calm down Maggie." He said but I rolled my eyes.

"how can I calm? How can I? Tarscia is dangerous supernatural being than you think!." I scatter my hair in frustration.

"I think Esperanza took her."Luca suddenly said then I sprang up on my feet.

"No! No! That....that can't happen!"I shook my head.

"I need to go somewhere. "I said as I run into my room.
