ENIGMA BETWEEN PAST AND PRESENT

Chapter-18 Arnold Got Stabbed?

Arnold asked," what surprise!?" She laughed again and said," Hey kids, what's the fun of a surprise if it is disclosed ahead of time." Saying this she walked out confidently. I quickly texted May," where are you and what are you doing? Come back as soon as possible." May replied within a minute," I'm on my way back, I moved my parents to a safe place."

May does acts quickly if something is related to her loved ones. I think she may look quiet, calm and elegant but no one knows what she'll do when she loses her cool. I returned to my room and called my dad and explained the whole thing. I did get scolded a bit but was praised too. When I hung up the phone, I heard a scream from the bathroom and I'm sure it's John.

When I got into their room I saw Arnold standing at the bathroom door and saying," what happened John say something." He broke the door open and went in. I could hear a lot of screams. He asked me to get out of the room and came out with John in an unconscious state and tucked him in the bed and put a blanket over him and said," Veronica I found something interesting, come inside with me."

When I went into the bathroom. It was a man lying on the floor. I asked Arnold," is he alive or dead?" Arnold replied," he's alive but I feel a great urge to kill him. I bet John must've been flustered enough to pass out naked in the bathroom." I asked him," who sent you?" He said," Casey sent me to kill the person who passed out when I got in the bathroom."

I lost control over my emotions. I couldn't control myself and be calm anymore. I took the razors blade out and slashed his neck until he was dead. I guess I'm not the only insane person in this world. I'm at least better than him.

While we were taking the corpse out, May was back, she helped us to hide the corpse and when we returned home, May asked," why does Arnold's dad call you princess?"

I answered her," it was years ago when my dad was on the hospital bed, he was in a serious condition and didn't know he'll survive. He asked my dad for a favour that he'll look after me as his daughter but my dad got well and went to Sydney but Uncle Scott kept his promise. So he's like another dad for me and Aunt Sabrina is like my mom. I like her more than the one who's been my biological mom but doesn't care about me."

May said," sorry for asking you. Don't worry as you said, it doesn't matter if she's your biological mom or not but she loves you more than her. That's the only thing that matters." Arnold said," thanks to my parents, I made it alive through my early school years as her classmate."

While we were talking, Pearl came in and said," Arnold, it's time for our date let's go. May, Veronica would you like to join us?" May quickly replied," yeah we're coming." Arnold was shocked and so was I but I finally agreed. I guess we're becoming a third wheel to their date. So embarrassing.

When we reached the cafe and we're waiting for the food a woman with a knife tried to stab Arnold and was successful. There was blood all over his body and Pearl.
