Chapter One

It was windy that night when Belle got home after going out on a date with her boyfriend Mhack. She was conducted by Mhack using a car. She was so happy and she thought that she would never forget this day in her life.

They went to the mall to see the movies to watch a romance film. She was so thrilled at the cinema while watching. After, they ate at a famous restaurant and as usual, Belle ordered her favorite food which is steak.

Before Belle went out of Mhack’s car, they had a little talk about their date.

“Did you enjoy tonight?” asked Mhack.

“Yes, our date tonight was the best thing that ever happened to me”.

“So, I’ll see you tomorrow?”

“Ok, you take care”

Belle quickly walked straight ahead to their house who was so excited to tell her mom of how things had worked out on her date. She felt the cool breeze outside and she can’t explain why she’s getting nervous as close as she gets to their front door. She doesn’t need to press their doorbell button or even knock because she has an extra key to open their house. It was very quiet as she entered their living room and was quite surprised of not seeing her mother who usually watches television at night while waiting for her. This set up is new to her because for the first time, her mom didn’t wait for her downstairs.

She sat on the sofa for a while thinking about what had happened the whole day. Realization came to her mind that Mhack is a very romantic guy who is so mysterious in many things like asking her out on a date with no occasion. She lay down for a couple of minutes. Then went straight to the kitchen and drank some water. She felt goose bumps all over her body without an explanation. The hair on her back stood on end.

“Mom, I’m home!”

Nobody answered and so, Belle went upstairs to check if her mom is already sleeping. There is a hesitation on her mind if she will open the room or not. She decided to knock first but still, there was no answer coming from her mom. They were only two living in the house because her father had been working in another country several years until now to support their financial needs. Belle is an only child in their family and for this reason, she usually spends time with her friends hanging out to different places than to stay at home and get bored. Sometimes, she is wondering what it feels like to have siblings whom you can talk with and spend time with. Upon entering her mom’s room, she finds it strange that things look a bit messy. Some papers were scattered on the floor. The window on the left side of the room was opened. Her mom is lying down on bed sleeping with a comforter on its whole body.

She decided to leave her mom and go to her room. When she was about to close the door of her room, she heard a noise coming from the living room. Out of her curiosity, she checked it out and found out that their flower vase was broken.

Belle was shocked and went back to her mother’s room. She locked the door and tried to wake her mom who was sleeping at that time. Touching her mom with the tip of her finger but still not waking up, she removed the comforter on her mom’s body and tears started rolling down her eyes. Her mom is already dead full of blood!

So scared for her life, Belle did realize that someone is in the house and it maybe a burglar or some psychopath whose intention is to kill her too. Stepped on a knife on the floor, she couldn’t help but to scream. The knife is full of blood and it made her even more scared.

The killer obviously used that knife to stab her helpless mother on bed and to make it like there is nothing wrong going on, the killer puts a comforter on her mom’s body so that she would think of it as sleeping.

“Help me! Please you have to help me!” Belle asking for help using their telephone while talking to the police.

“You need to calm down miss” What’s your name?

“This is Belle Harvey” Someone killed my mom and I think the killer is still here inside our house! You need to hurry!

“Ok, where are you now?”

“I’m here in my mom’s room” Please hurry!

“I want you to stay right where you are Belle” Can you give us your address?

“It’s 160 Hampshire Street”

“Ok, hold on Belle were on our way”

Belle quickly hanged up when she heard footsteps approaching. She hid herself under the bed when suddenly a guy broke the door of her mother’s room using a gun. The man is breathing heavily and is wondering where Belle could be.

Not long enough and the guy found Belle hiding under the bed. She couldn’t identify who it was because the guy is wearing a bandit mask. She tried to run as much as she could out of the room but the guy had caught her. He was so strong for Belle to handle. The guy held her hands so tight and she couldn’t defend herself. The guy did not hesitate to punch her in the face and in the gut which made her so weak.

“Please don’t kill me” Belle begging for mercy.

The guy removed her clothes and had raped her. She was so helpless and she can’t do anything but to cry.

“Please, stop it!” I beg you!

The guy left her lying down on the floor for a while and she saw him getting the knife full of blood on her mother’s room. She had sensed that the guy might stab her in no time. She had the courage to get up and made a few steps on their stairs when suddenly the guy had reached her and stabbed her in her right shoulder. She fell down the stairs and the guy came after her. She had the chance to defend herself this time by breaking a glass on the guy’s head. The guy passed out and she took off its bandit’s mask. She then learned that the guy trying to kill her is Paul Breckmann, a guy who is obsessed with her whom she can never love.

Belle ran out of the house with her hands full of blood and from there, several sheriffs approached her.

“Help me!” He is trying to kill me!
