Murder House (Part One)

Karaoke and Kidneys

It was 7 PM and the assassin was hiding behind the rocks, watching his target dressed in a white floral dress walk towards him. As soon as she sits down, he smirks and brandished the knife in his hand.

Suddenly someone closes his mouth from behind, muffling his sound of shock.

"It is a beautiful night isn't it?" the culprit says. "Why don't you get some sleep? And get a new kidney while you are at it."

The man drops the knife and his eyes widen in shock as he feels something cold plunge deep into his back and yanked out.

Pain shot through his body forcing him to scream but he can't scream.

He isn't allowed to scream.

It would attract his target.

Blood flows from his mouth as he collapsed to the ground and loses consciousness, he crawls towards his target and grabs the hem of her dress.

His target feels the tug and yelps the minute she sees him but he refuses the let go because of the unbearable pain.

Only she can save him.

The pain!

The pain is unbearable!

He croaks again and the last thing he sees is his target dialing a number on her phone.

A few hours earlier...

"I call dibs!" Brianna yelled as she ran towards the sea.

"I hope you have something to keep you afloat!" Ralph called out as he watched his sister dive into the water. "I don't want you to be swept by the undertow."

"Relax! I can swim!" she yelled.

I giggle at the scene while holding on to the towel that covered me. You see, Brianna kept her promise by sneaking in to steal my swimsuits so I am wearing a bikini. Although it is not a revealing one, I am ashamed because I did not want to draw unwanted attention to myself.

'Come on. There is nothing wrong with it.' my inner voice coaxed.

I take a deep breath and undo my towel. Just as I suspected, all eyes were on me. Charlie whistled while Ralph stared. Brutes on the other hand adjusted his glasses while Jake's face turned red.

"Y...you l...look l...like a...a god...goddess Emma." he finally said

"Umm thank you." my reply was nonchalant because of the way he looked at me. Then he wrapped his arms around me and sent a cold stare to an onlooker who ran off.

'Remind me to scold Brianna after this.' I thought.

"Wow, girl you look hot!" Charlie said as approached us.

Jake tightened his grip on me and he backed off.

"Easy tiger. I was just going to ask her if she wants me to teach her how to swim." He said raising his hands in defense.

"No thank you. She is fine." He replied.

Charlie rose an eyebrow and smirked. "Are you sure? You look like some pretty boy who the first thing of swimming and you don't look like you want to get wet."

He was right. Jake was wearing a shirt on top of his swimming trunks and seeing him naked before, I knew it was to hide the scars on his body.

I was running out of air and my boobs were starting to hurt because of the way he squeezed me to him. Squirming, I tap him on the shoulder and he lets me go.

After panting for a moment, I smile at Charlie. "Don't worry. I will be fine."

He tsked and walked off. "Your funeral sweet cakes."
