Chapter 3 - capitol one

Livia Smith a lady with matted dark hair and greenish eyes who seemed to have two olives instead of eyes, came out of the driveway of her house where she lived with her father.

Her mother had died when she was still small, from a disease that could not be cured.

She was a poor family but unfortunately she found herself without a job.

She had lost him after her father started drinking, so everyone in town thought bad things about them.

So he had to do something to earn a living to support her and her father.

Livia began to look out, spring had arrived and she didn't like it, all those colorful flowers, the little birds that were starting to come out of their nests to hum around the town where Canterbury lived, she felt sick just thinking about it.

She started walking down the street always close to her house to go to the town center to find work, the breeze made the leaves of the plants move that seemed to be dancing to the lady it bothered and at a certain point ..

"Etchiù," she began to sneeze.

"Damn spring, can't it always be winter?"

She kept muttering to herself as she headed for the town.

Finally after about ten minutes she arrived at her destination, the country was so beautiful surrounded by plants and flowers of any imaginable color.

Near the shops there is a train station that led into the city in London, she had never moved there so she could never find work.

Further on there are several houses, the police station where she ended up several times .. and bars.

Livia started asking to work in the shoe shop but she was refused again, it was now the fourth time she tried.

She tried again to ask in the flower shop even though she hated them but somewhere she also had to earn, but unfortunately she was chased away by the owner.

She sat on a bench fed up with having to keep looking, she looked for five minutes at the sky and the clouds that seemed to walk on it.

If only I had been luckier in my life I would now live like the Matsons are surely now having breakfast in their terraced house.

She muttered to herself.

The Matsons are a wealthy family from London or at least the one that was closest to Canterbury.

Livia took a pack of cigarettes out of her jacket and lit one of her own by putting the pack back in her pocket.

She started walking back to her house, but on her way she saw a group of girls dressed in black leather jackets, Derrison middle school uniforms, they were laughing and joking about their bad behavior at school.

Derrison is a middle school for the rich, not everyone could afford to go there.

Livia could hear all their talk because they were screaming like geese.

At one point they stop and let their latest model Iphone out.

These little girls must belong to some rich family I could chase them to steal their money and the phones I could resell. I think her.

She decided to chase the four girls until they entered the bond surrounded by trees, after they realized that someone was chasing them.

It looked like a forest, the trees were so thick that you couldn't see anything.

When she finally reached the center of the bond she found only an old house, it seemed abandoned and could fall apart at any moment.

The windows were gone, the wooden door was broken and there were graffiti painted on the walls, someone must have drawn them.

There was no trace of the four girls as if they had vanished into thin air without a trace.

Alas what a bad luck, I'll try to take a tour of the house to see if I find anything.

She muttered.

Livia entered the house, looked in all the rooms where there were only broken shards, dust on dust and mattresses, it seemed a refuge for homeless people.

From a bedroom window she saw a meadow where white flowers lay.

She left the house and went to the back, approaching she noticed that it was a beautiful meadow covered with white irises that looked like it was snow.

In between them was a large mound formed of earth that ruined everything, so she hating to touch the earth and stand there among the flowers she began to remove the earth but she discovered a terrifying thing.

She found the body of a girl dressed well surely she had gone to a party, wearing makeup and eyes wide open as if she was afraid of something, she tried to touch it but it was frozen.

"OMIO GOD !!!"

Near her body there was a phone, the latest model Iphone but it was off, surely the battery was dead.

Livia started running towards the police station.

She walked in and headed for the counter where she luckily found the police chief.

"I just found a girl's body buried in a garden !!" She said hastily and shocked to the policeman.

"Thing?! Are you sure what you saw? We know you Mrs. Smith and you would say anything to get you to something. " The policeman told him.

"I swear, please send someone to check !!"

"Okay, now we're going with you, did you hear her boss? Shall we go have a look? "

"Bring a patrol with you!" the chief answered him.

The lady along with the patrol and the policeman went back to Iris's garden where she had left the girl's uncovered body.

"Oh my God it was true then!" The policeman said.

Livia put her hands on her head as a sign of desperation, meanwhile the policeman called her boss who brought in another patrol.

"Thank you Mrs. Smith, now we will take her body to central London to find out her identity," the policeman said.

"You're welcome"
