Wormed Into my Heart

Chapter Three: Mine

    It’s been 6 months since John died. Sarah, after feeling sad for a while, started feeling no feelings. All that she wanted was John to be with her. She yearned to be next to her husband. She missed him so bad. Every day when she woke up, she felt empty, and lonely. 

John’s family wanted to meet her. That afternoon, she would meet John’s family. She was busy cleaning the hype house. Charli walked in and asked what she was doing. Sarah told her about how John’s family would be coming over that day. Charli said that the rest of the hype house would leave so she could have the house to herself. 

Sarah was relieved that the Quinones family wouldn’t know about the tiktok thing and all of that. The rest of the hype house left, and Sarah sat down on the couch. She took a deep breath. Everything was quiet. Everything should have been peaceful. But things weren’t peaceful. She felt nothing.

The doorbell rang. Sarah abruptly got up and answered the door. A woman with a bright smile was standing at the door. She said, “Hello, are you Sarah?” Sarah replied with, “Yes, I’m Sarah.” “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you!” “The same for you.” “This is my husband Bruno.” He held his hand out for her to shake. She took his hand and shook it. She invited them in and sat them in the clean living room. 

They talked for a little while, and then the topic began to get into John. They went into how much they loved John.. this and that about him… they didn’t know the John that she loved. She felt jealous about how much they loved and missed him. She was the one who missed him. This was the first emotion she had felt since she fell in love with John. 

They said they should get going, and they said their goodbyes. They said if she needed anything, this is where they lived. Sarah ushered them out of the door and started being filled with rage. She didn’t want this to happen. She should feel happy for them to be so nice. But she didn’t want them to love him. She loved him. She knew what she needed to do.

A couple hours later, Charli walked in, and fell right into Sarah’s trap. Holding a circular saw, she asks Charli if she can hold it while she does the renegade. Charli takes it, and she does the renegade. 

    She didn’t feel sorry for what she was about to do. She went to the Quinones house. In the middle of the night. Their house was covered in icicles, and powdered with snow. She walked up to the door and took a deep breath. Her cold knuckles knocked against the door. Her heart was pounding. Mr. Quinones answered the door. 

He said, “Sarah! How are you? Is everything alright?” She said, “I’m about to be.” Confused, Bruno said, “What?” Sarah grabs him and covers his mouth. He tries to break free, but Sarah’s adrenaline made her stronger than him. She pushes him to the ground and grabs one of the icicles.

With her foot on his chest, he struggled to breathe. He was sputtering. She sharpened the icicle in her hand with his teeth. The melting icicle was starting to drip into his mouth and he started choking. She adjusted her grip on the icicle and thrust it into his neck. She felt no remorse for doing this. His blood started dripping on to the snow turning it from the blinding white snow it was to blood red. 

He bled out, and she stabbed him one last time to make sure he was dead, the blood squelching on the icicle as she pulled it from his cold body. She let the icicle melt, and the murder weapon was disposed of, and no way to track her. She moved him into her van, and grabbed the empty slushee container she brought, and filled it with the blood red snow. She knocked on the door, and Mrs. Quinones answered. She told her that Bruno left for work, but she still had a lot on her mind. She said, “Come on in, you can tell me.” 

She sat in the Quinones living room, and she offered her a slushie. She said, “The cherry flavor is my favorite.” Maria said, “It’s my favorite too.” She took it, and took a sip from it. An expression of dismay came to her face. She asked, “What is in this?” Sarah said, “Your husband’s blood.” She grabbed a hard book on the shelf next to her, and slammed it against her head before she could ask anything. She fell on the floor, and she dragged her to her car. 

It was getting a bit earlier, and she had to leave before anyone could notice. She drove slowly and carefully, stopping at every stop sign, making sure to not grab the attention of anyone. Finally at the shed behind the hype house, she locked the door and put her on the table she prepared. She put Bruno on the floor. She grabbed the circular saw in the shed left by the previous owner. She started it, and Maria woke up. She can physically feel everything she is going to do to her.

She begged her to stop, and let her go. But Sarah felt no remorse. She wanted her to feel that. She duct taped her mouth closed. She put on a pair of disposable gloves. She cut off her right arm, and her right leg. She was still alive, and trying to scream the entire time. She cut off her left arm and left leg, and finally cut off her head. 

She dismembered all of Bruno’s limbs, and drains all of the blood out of both of the bodies. She left them in the shed, and then she put a padlock on the shed. She removed the gloves, and put them in the fire pit in the backyard of the hype house. She lit the fire and watched the evidence burn. She added some salsa to the fire to make their death saucy. Sarah felt satisfied about how much pain they went through for making her feel emotionless. She was ready to kill anyone else who got in between her and her husband.

She quickly ran to her room and changed her clothes and put the bloody clothes into a bag. She tied up the bag, and ran back to the firepit. She put the bag of clothes in the fire, and the flames engulfed the last bit of evidence tieing the murder to Sarah.

    At that moment, Charli walked into the backyard after seeing the fire in the firepit. Sarah quickly offers her a slushie, one she made herself. She explained that she stayed up making this ‘extra special’ slushie. Charli takes it, and asks what flavor it is. Sarah said, “It’s a surprise.”  Charli drinks it, and she says it tastes weird. 

    Sarah didn’t know if she had another excuse for it. She just said, “I guess it didn’t turn out as good as I thought it would, thanks for telling me.” Charli nodded, and then Sarah takes the slushie back. She quickly trips and makes it seem like an accident, and spilled it all over Charli. She apologized, and said she has some really good stain remover in the shed. Charli looked a little confused by this, and asked, “Why is it in the shed?”  Sarah just shrugged. She was ready to frame her. She unlocked the shed, and walked in. She let out the loudest scream she knew how to make. Lil Huddy came outside, and saw that she was screaming at a dead body in the shed. He grabbed his phone and called the police.

    When the police arrived, Lil huddy took him to the shed, and they found the mutilated, blood drained bodies and the circular saw. They took the saw in for evidence, and the bodies brought in for an autopsy to see if anything else had happened. 

    A couple hours later, the police said they got a warrant for a search, and that they needed to question everyone in the hype house. They asked to see Sarah, and they asked her to sit down. They asked her where she was last night, and the last time she saw the family. She said that she was asleep, and that she met them for the first time that afternoon. The police interrogated the rest of the hype house, and searched the house. They then arrested Charli. Her fingerprints were found on the circular saw, and when they searched the house, found the blood of the victims on her clothes.

    Charli said she wasn’t the murderer, but there was solid evidence for her to be arrested. Sarah watched as Charli’s hands came behind her back, feeling satisfied. All of the hype house stares at the police car door as it slams shut with Charli in it. They make a video detailing what happened, and why she would no longer be a member of the hype house. 

    Sarah even fake cried, and convincingly told everyone that she was sad that Charli’s jealousy came to her killing her late husband's parents. All of the tiktok community was shaken up by this terrible tragedy. All but Sarah, who was fully content with what happened.

John was hers, and only hers.
