Chereads / Killer behind child's mask / Chapter 4 - Christmas morning

Chapter 4 - Christmas morning

Two weeks later it was christmas morning. All three siblings woke up and went to the kitchen just to meet their parents with gifts.

"Merry Christmas kids!" Michael said and hugged etch of them "Merry Christmas mom, dad" Bentley said hesitantly.

Both parents smiled "Merry Christmas sister, brother"

Helena hugged him as she whispered 'merry christmas' back while Aaren scoffed and walked away.

Michael walked towards Bentley, he kneeled down and gave him present "here you go Bentley. I hope you like it"

Bentley whispered thank you and opened big present.

Inside was PS5 along with new laptop and Iphone 12.

"Wow! This is too m-much..!" he said in shock.

Parents smiled "it's alright, it's your first Christmas you deserve it" Miranda said, Michael looked at Helena.

"And for you, we have special surprise" Helena rised her eyebrow in confusion "what is it?"

Michael pulled out a box "open it" Helena unwrapped the box and gasped in shock.

Inside was her first book which she wrote on wattpad

"I can't believe this! my first book officially started sealing!?" Miranda nodded "yep. We thought we might surprised you" Helena wiped small tears away.

"Thank you, this is the best Christmas present you could possibly give me" she hugged her parents

they both laughed "you're welcome".

"I can't believe 'I won't let you go' is finally sealing!!" Helena said while she and Bentley sat on her bed "what's that book about?" he asked "it's about girl who lived with abusive parents but ran away when she couldn't take it anymore. She met boy Peter who she thought is real angel...since he always acted kind around her but was real devil in disguise. When Lucy and Peter entered in relationship he started showing his true colors. He abused and beaten her up. He later revealed he's her step brother and because of her, her dad left his mom. Lucy tried so many times to end that relationship with him but that plan always failed."

Bentley continued listening to Helena's explaining, he was astonished by what kind of mind Helena has.

"Seeing there is no way out of that relationship she committed suicide" Helena finished talking and sighed "it was too much, wasn't it"

Bentley shook his head "not at all" he got closer to her face.

Helena didn't mind, she already got use to it. Since her boy-friend Watson is always too close.

He took her chin gently in his hand "I would never treat you that way" Helena was confused by this "I don't understand..." Bentley smirked at Helena's innocent mind, no they were far from innocent.

"You don't have to"

Then he crushed his lips on her cheek "this was my Christmas present for you" Helena was left without word.

He stood up and walked towards door "good night sister" then he left leaving Helena both scared and confused.

"I can't stand him!" Aaren said in anger

"You should give him a chance" boy said, he had black hair, his eyes were brown and he wore a glasses, he had little beard under his chin

"You don't understand! I don't like the way he's looking at her. Like..she's some pice of fresh meat" his friend laughed "now you're just being ridiculous, maybe it's just hard for you to accept he's not your blood related brother"

Aaren gave him look "David, I'm not jocking! Something about him isn't right!" Aaren said in frustration "why don't you talk to your parents then?"

"They won't believe me" both friends fell into silence, just then out of no where Bentley appeared in door step

"Very observing brother"

Both Aaren and David looked at Bentley

"What do you want!?" Aaren asked angrily, Bentley casually smirked "it's not nice to talk about someone behind their beck" he walked towards two friends and stood infront of them

"All I want is Helena. And I want you to stop interfering in my plans" Aaren got up and tried to punch Bentley, but Bentley blocked his punches and hit Aaren in the jaw.

David quickly went to help his friend.

Aaren slowly got up "who are you?" he asked.

Bentley smirked "I think I've already told you"

"You can't be 16-year old...your strength is just like mine" David said, Bentley pulled out the knife out his pocket

"You're right..I'm not ordinary 16 year old boy"
