"Where is she?!"

"WHERE IS SHE?!"

I tremble, slapping a hand on my mouth to prevent my low whimpers from escaping. The old man frantically searched every corner of the room watching and waiting to get just one glimpse of me.

I pray silently, my heart going a mile a minute. God, please god please! Don't let this monster find me! Tears start falling from my eyes as his footsteps come closer and closer.

I feel around for my Swiss Army knife holding my breath to prevent any sounds. Only to be betrayed by my fast and loud heart beat.

I open the knife, pointing it towards the closet door, just as he places his hands on the knobs.

The door bangs open as my father startles. I look at the scene breathless taking place in front of me.

My bloodied up brother held up by his collar. His body completely limp. I suck in a breath as the man drops my brother onto the ground where he falls in a heap.

My father looks at his son and then looks at the man. He then asks, "Is that wench of a woman, Agatha also dead?", his voice devoid of any emotion.

"Yes Sir" says the hulk of a man bowing deeply to show his respect.

"And Rachel?" My father asks, a greasy smile forming in his face.

I pause, ' Why does he want to know about Mom's cousin sister?'

"Here Honey!" comes a sickly sweet voice from behind the gorilla guy.

My dad smiles as the killer moves to the left.

Rachel rushes to my dad's arms as he lifts her up and they start to smooch.

I look through the cracks, my eyes stuck in the two. My heart drops to my stomach as the realisation sets in.

My dad was cheating on my mom with a person she considered more than family. Not only had he been the one to kill my brother but, he had even murdered the one person who loved him blindly….My Mom.

All for this….this woman?!

Hot tears start falling down my face. My face flushing red and hot from the effort it took to control my rage.

I grit my teeth, the fiery flames of my rage licking at the shattered pieces of my once complete heart.

I look at them, remembering the words of my grandfather as he lay on his bed, his skin a ghastly pale white.

"My dear child, always remember never, completely trust someone. Keep doubting them, even if they prove themselves to you more than once. For not every person can be trusted"

"Your mother never believes me but, you don't make the same mistake as her. Don't trust blindly, even if it's your family"

A fresh set of tears fall down my face as his words stab my heart deep.

"You were right Gramps" I whisper, my voice still muffled by my hand.

I look up to see that disgusting couple leave. The broad shouldered guy following them silently.

I wait, to ensure that they leave. My tears continue flowing as the truth finally sets in. Piercing right through my soul.

I hug my legs tightly wanting to break down. Only for her voice to flood my senses bringing back a cruel sense of bitter nostalgia.

"Honey, no matter what happens in your life always remember that you should never be mad at your family. Because only they will be with you when you are in need"

I scoff silently, slowly opening the door. I tear my fluffy white gown looking at the open skull of my older brother.

I cover his body, silently placing a kiss on his fingers.

"I love you dumbo" I whisper beside what seems to be his ear and start to make my way towards the door.

I walk out of the room, looking in both directions to check if anyone is coming. I make my way to the hall running for the exit.

Suddenly loud shouts ring.

"She's there!! She is running out of the wedding hall!!"

I curse under my breath and run faster, ditching my heels.I rush out of the hall only to find myself in a forest.

"Fuck! I forgot this was here!" I groan, the canopy of the tress preventing any sign of light from entering the sinister forest. I jump into actions hearing the e voices get closer.

Ignoring the pain shooting up my legs from the uneven paths with sharp rocks I rush into the forest.

I hide inside a hole in a large tree. The voices of the search party slowly seeming further and further.

I let out a shuddering breath. Relief hitting me like a tsunami. I get up and start to make my way to the only road passing through this forest.

Which would quite possibly be my only salvation in this gloomy terrain.

But before this, you must be feeling very confused right?

Why am I, a soon-to-be bride trudging through a dense forest in the middle of the night?

Why did my father killed my brother and my mother on the request of a two-faced bitch like Rachel?

I mean we all know it's because he couldn't keep it in his pants but… there had to be something more, my heart refused to believe that it was all a lie.

How did a person who was loving and caring change so much?

What happened that he became such a cruel monster?

After all, no one is born a villain. Except psychopaths and sociopaths maybe but, not my dad. Not the person who spent his whole life giving back and then nagging us to do the same.

And most importantly, Why is the goddamn wedding hall in a freaking forest?!

But, to know all of that we'll need to go back to a time where everything was normal. A few years before this absolute shit show of a wedding. Right back to the very start, The Beginning.
