Chapter 1 - ITS DAWN

Having a good night rest after the downpour of the rain it's dawn indeed. So fast how time flies and days gone by yet without knowledge on who murdered her family; Nancy still ponders and wonders what her family did wrong and who was the murderer?. This thoughts kept ringing a bell in her head often, her research grew wilder each day. It all happened thirteen years ago and the rain was pouring heavily with a strong thunderstorm . She just went to her best friend's place that afternoon and getting late at 7pm she retires back home, having had dinner with her family she climbs the staircase up to her room.

Nancy was the only daughter but she had two brothers who were of age three and six years. Nancy been the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Addams, she was cared so much for just as the two brothers were cared for, she was just ten years of age when the incident occurred. Her family were everything except that she had a best friend named Clara who lived a few poles away from theirs. The Addams family were notable and well respectable family which was massive. There were only three notable and wealthy families in the country, The Addams family, The Martins Family and The Thomas family. Of which she was lucky to come from among one of these families unlike her best friend Clara but she didn't mind mingling with people who were not her high status.

She was free and loving, caring, sweet and beautiful with her blonde long blonde hair reaching her waist. People admire her since when she was born and people should give praises upon seeing her. Until that fateful night.. it clocked 8pm after having family dinner. She went to her room upstairs and as usual went to her secret study room, she heard a loud scream, " help!" And that was the voice of her mother... " leave them alone. Yelled her father to the notorious and hefty men with masks on" you can take me but don't hurt my family" Mr. Addams pleaded

"We are not here for you Mr. Addams, we are here for e family and business. The gang leader said

Looking everywhere, " and where is your daughter, the family is not complete". The leader bent down placing the gun on Mr. Addams mouth.

" she's not home yet" cried Nancy's mother

" Then we must wait and no lies. The leader said as he caresses Mrs. Addams making her cry out

"Don't touch her like that". Rushing to save his wife

Dun-n

He was shot dead

Hearing the gunshot, Nancy came out from her secret study room and made way to her room to know what's going on downstairs and she saw how her to brothers and mother were shot dead, she gasped loud and they took notice of the sound but she was swift to take to her heels back to her secret room and closed the rusted old door that has not been shut for decades.

She panicked and lost for words and hid herself at a dark corner.

All she could hear were thuds upstairs because her room which was built upstairs had a secret room which leads to a secret underground study room. She later quietly and hear them shouting

" she escaped and hid somewhere "

" burn the house down and she has no escaped route anymore". Another retorted which she guessed was the leader sent by an unknown.

She whimper in fear, and all she could say in her pacing mind was, " Lord help me!!!"

She could no longer help herself but to cry as she noticed the mansion was on fire. She could not imagine how her family lives were seized from them, she could only recall their last dinner before she left to her study room hoping to show her father her experiments. She was derailed and tears was seen racing down her cheeks she cried until late midnight, were she could no longer cry because she was weak and looking pale, young Nancy dozed off.....

Her experience became her nightmare where she could not save her family and she cried out again and this time was around 4am when she heard people outside and the firefighters had put off the fire, she heard her name been called she knew it was Clara her best friend...

" Nancy, please come back to me, tell me you're not gone forever".... she wailed as Nancy could only hear her but for a reason she refused to come out. She came out from her hiding corner as soon she no more heard noises and she sat quietly in the floor just gazing at her experiments as thoughts clouded her head, she knew she was alone for the rest of her life. Her dreams had ended and no more family, she suddenly fell asleep again and this time it was a bright sunny day alas!

Years gone by and she decided to make the search for her family murderers. She must know who is hidden behind the mask. She only survived these few years gone by because her secret study room, was always stocked and her savings were hidden inside the secret room... though, life was tough on Nancy. She had to look for work and fend for herself and she did tensed work just to meet her target. She kept her Hope high. She later found the secret entrance out of the secret study room, she would go to work and come back when she knows no one would ever imagined someone would be living inside the house.

She kept on working and alas it was dawn and she need get ready for the day's work as usual. And she kept researching, and study indoor.
