All of the lights went out in the room. It was so black you couldn't see a thing. I could hear someone lurking around. I know it wasn't Sage because she was right next to me crying, clinging on to me like her life depended on it.
"Sage" I whispered
"Yeah"
"Do you hear something?"
"Yeah"
The lights stayed off for about 20 minutes. When the lights came back on, I was not expecting to find a corpse in my room especially my fathers.
Next thing I know I hear a bloodcurdling scream. I didn't even know it was coming from me.
"Violet are you okay?" Sage asked
I couldn't even answer, tears were streaming down my face. My throat felt swollen. I was in utter shock. I did blame my father for everything that happened that day. But I never wanted him dead. Sure he hit mom and I but I never wanted him dead.
"Violet it's okay that's what I was gonna tell you" Sage said.
"Tell me that my dad was murdered" I screamed very loudly, face all red with tear stained cheeks.
"No but that he was missing"
"Well as a matter of fact he's dead"
I just couldn't hold back my tears any longer. Someone finally came to see what was wrong. When they found us, a nurse let out a bloodcurdling scream, higher than mine. I didn't know what to do. My mother and now my father are both dead. It's a nightmare turned into a reality.
The police just barged into the room after that point. I couldn't stop crying long enough for them to talk to me.
''Who here is Violet Summers?" Asked the tall attractive man in the blue uniform. Maddox Garcia, very sexy. Now Violet, you shouldn't be thinking like that.
"I am" I spoke up, voice cracking like I haven't drank anything in days. How attractive.
"Obviously you see your father is dead"
"Hence the word murdered" I said, rather sarcastically. I'm in shock, sue me.
"I just have to ask you some questions"
"Fine"
"How old are you?''
"20"
"Where were you when the murder took place?"
"Here obviously" I said sarcastically. "I just got hit by a car and I've been here all night long"
"Occasionally people do sneak out of the hospital"
"Are you implying that I would kill my own father?" I asked the cop, getting angry.
"No not at all but someone did kill him"
"Ya think" I said, being sarcastic again.
"Who ever did kill him had a vendetta against him. Any idea on who might that be?"
"I know my father used to be a cop, he worked in narcotics for 11 years but he's an under cover cop" I told him, still shaking from the sight of my father.
"did your father have any enemies?
I stared at the cop, what if my father did have enemies and their taking down every single person in his family. This could get ugly fast.
"I really don't know"
"I will assure you i'm gonna make it my aspiration to find who did this so no one else will get hurt"
"Okay thank you"
"Here is my card, call me if you ever need help or notice anything out of the ordinary" I smiled, as he walked out the door.
After the cops left and they took my fathers body away, I was moved into another hospital room. I need to be more careful. Something is going on and I need to watch my back. When I get out of the hospital, I need to look through all of my fathers things to see if I can dig up something that can give me answers. I was startled out of my thoughts when there was a knock at the door.
"Come in"
"Violet?" I turn my head to see Clark walking in my room.
"Clark, how have you been?"
"I've been fine,I heard about what happened"
"I'm still a little shaken up about the whole thing."
"I know and i'm sorry"
" It's all a little much. Both of my parents are dead. I don't know what's going on."
"I know, you must be scared. Things are a little crazy right now" Insert eye roll. No shit things are a little crazy right now. The whole time Clark has been in the room, he has had this glint of wickedness in his eye. I'm really starting to sense Clark is up to no good. When I get out of here, I'm going to get to the bottom of things.
"Can I take you home?"
"Actually I have some things I need to do afterwards"
"Alright no worries, Bye Violet."
After Clark left, I had a feeling gnawing feeling I was being watched. I had all of the lights off except for the one above my head. I heard the door open, I thought it was Clark but it was a peculiar person in all black.
"Who are you?" I asked sounding scared and anxious. I'm pissing myself right about now.
"The person who is picking off your family and friends one by one" The voice sounded hoarse like a young man but with a little husk. He also had a mask on so I couldn't see his face.
"Why? What did I ever do?"
"You didn't do anything but be born" The stranger said strongly.
"Why?"
"Lets just say your father has too many dirty little secrets and you are one of them"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you honestly think you are his only child?"
"Yes"
"Your mother knew about this dirty little secret that's what got her killed, your father wasn't too good at protecting those he loved."
"That is so fatuous"
"Is it?"
"How could my mother possibly know my fathers secret?"
"Oh because your mother was his secret"
I was stunned. Could my father have lived a double life? Do I have another sibling out there?
"I will be seeing you very soon Violet, don't forget I know where you live"
With that he left. I need to contact that sexy cop and let him know about my little encounter. Now I know that I for sure need some protection. I need a fucking gun. How else am I going to protect myself? Once I leave this death trap, I'm going to the range.
