Six Years passed.
These six years were like Hell for Sunny. He somehow was living, but he wasn't living. Somehow he completed his school and college and was in search of a company where he can join to manage his expenses while studying for his master's degree, but was struggling to survive.
However, after struggling for two months, Sunny got an opportunity in Sterling Incorporated. If he gets the job, he can study for masters, as well as he will have enough money to support himself.
"Interview is at 10am, so I should take a metro for there, and for metro, I should take bus. Alright!" Sunny told himself and started walking towards the bus stop.
However, his life isn't that sorted as he may think. Few yards before the stop, a minivan arrived, two people came, injected something in him and took him with them. It happened in an instant Sunny couldn't understand. Within few minutes, Sunny was unconscious, as the van was moving.
After, what appeared as long time, Sunny was splashed water on his face. He woke up and saw two to three people in front of him. His brain hasn't woken up so good, due to which he couldn't understand who they were and what they were talking among themselves. Suddenly, one of them punched Sunny on his face. Sunny fell down, along with the chair he was tied on. Sunny was wide awake now, thanks to the shock he received just now. He looked around. He recognised the faces. The Delinquents of his school, and Katherine?
He was more than shocked. It was clearly visible in his face. Katherine begun with a grin in her face, "Missed me Sunny?" touching his cheeks with the back of her hand.
"You must be surprised to meet me this way, Right?" she asked. "Well you might not know this, but I've been following you since long."
Sunny choked in his saliva. He was focused on Katherine and her words, meanwhile, the delinquents picked his fallen chair and him.
"You thought we didn't recognise you that day? I can identify that horrifying face of yours anywhere, and your deeds as well." Katherine continued.
"Earlier I was avoiding you, but later, I started noticing you. You became a silent boy. Well you were silent, but not that level silent. Few days later, I got the news, that Asher was brutally murdered. I was so devastated. I thought what's going on. I went near the crime scene, where people were crowded. I looked at my beloved's lifeless body, being put in the body bag. The last time I saw him. I looked around. There were people, some afraid, some crying, mourning, feeling terrorized. Then I saw you. A blank face, expressionless, you. I don't know why but I started following you everywhere.
Your grades were decreasing. Academic performance became poor. You started bunking classes often. One day, I saw you engaging with the delinquent group. I don't know what happened, but they started beating you, badly. I hurried to the teacher. When I came back with the teacher, they were on the ground while you left.
In CCTV, it showed they attacked you first and you fought in defence. However, I saw something which made me more curious about you. Whoever got hit by you, had blood spread near the lips region, as if you were making something. I remembered Asher had the same pattern near his lips. I started suspecting you, because of which I started stalking you.
Meet them-" Katherine said pointing towards three women, "I hope you remember them. My sisters, Charlotte, Sharon and Cecilia. They helped me in stalking you. However, we kept Candace out of this. She was very fond of you. If she became made over you, or became attached to you, our plan would've been doomed."
Sunny rested his head back to the chair he was sitting on, processing what's going on.
"Don't worry. Our delinquent friends wants to have some fun with you. I'll just release this smoke here in this laboratory so that you may die of slow poisoning.
If you inhale this gas for fifteen minutes straight" Sharon begun while Cecilia placed the grenades emitting the smoke, "You will be unconscious. Within twenty minutes, your game will be over."
"And my Asher will feel good." Katherine ended.
"However, the boys want some retribution from you, which we couldn't deny." Charlotte begun with a grin, "Here are the masks. Enjoy!" They left.
After going out, Charlotte asked Katherine, "Are you sure we aren't going an overkill on him?"
"No. Even this is less for what he did to Asher. I wish I was the one who could kill him." Katherine replied clenching her fists.
"Calm down sis. He'll be gone in few minutes." Cecilia said.
"Yeah. Firstly he is tied to a chair. Then he has a gang of delinquents. Even if he survives this, which isn't possible, there is a poisonous smoke around him. There's no way he'll survive. You surely will have your revenge, trust me." Sharon reassured.
"He better be dead." Katherine said with a threatening tone.
"You still think he has chance? Are you kidding me?" Sharon asked.
"Remember. He is like a maniac. You weren't the witness. I was. He went like, "If you ever kick me down, pray I don't get up. Because if I get up. You won't." Now understand, if he survives, we don't have any chance." Katherine replied.
"You're overstressing sis. Come here. Have a drink." Charlotte said.
"Yeah I guess you are right. Sorry for bothering you." Katherine replied.
"Hey isn't it ten minutes already?" Cecilia reminded.
"Yeah. I told them to come out after ten minutes. Damn these stubborn kids." Charlotte replied.
"I'll go and check on them" Sharon said and got up.
"I'll come too." Charlotte said.
"Me too." Katherine said.
"No you stay here with Cecilia. We'll check and come." Charlotte replied.
Katherine nodded and Charlotte and Sharon left.
It was five minutes. Sunny's fifteen minutes have passed, but there was no sign of either the delinquents, nor the sisters. Katherine was growing anxious. She told Cecilia to come with her and both entered the room.
It was covered in smoke. Visibility was low. The room was a bit large, and there was deafening silence. Suddenly, Katherine stumbled. She looked what was on the floor. She was horrified. One of the delinquents' body was lying there. She tried to shake him but he didn't get up. She understood he was dead. She was slowly moving ahead. Suddenly, Katherine heard a very faint squeak coming from Cecilia. She turned around and asked her in sign language. Cecilia pointed towards the direction of a wall, where Charlotte was lying on an attached work table, with a big sword penetrating her head and blood coming out from her forehead.
Katherine was at lost of words, however, her eyes filled with tears. She wanted to cry but covered her mouth. She looked at Cecilia. She was covering her mouth as well. The more steps they took, the more dead bodies were there. Suddenly, Cecilia poked Katherine and pointed to the floor. There Katherine saw Sharon's body with an axe, penetrated in her mouth.
Cecilia was about to faint but Katherine caught her. She was about to puke when Katherine pointed ahead. There was a figure sitting on the table, taking out an eye from one of the delinquent's body.
Katherine recognised the figure. She held Cecilia closer. Signed her to stay quiet, and escape from the place.
"Oh my my, I told you. If I get up, you will not, you should've listened to me." the figure said.
Both Smith sisters were watching him from an unnoticeable distance. They saw him staring his hands for few seconds. They were shaking bad. "All this time, I tried to spread happiness, only to forget that I need to be happy too." he said to himself, while moving his fingers near his lips, making a smile with the blood stain in his hand.
