The Dead city

Chapter One - My life

June 29th, 2019

Miranda Jose, point of view:

"It's all her fault, Mom! She's a nightmare to deal with "I mumbled, steam pouring from my ears.

My sister was robbed by some jerks while trying to purchase her dream bag; which terribly failed.

 Apparently, she saw this website selling: alluring, high quality, bags from famous brands all across the world, Her, a stupid dumb brat thought it was absolutely a fantastic idea to try and purchase from them.

" I swear i had no idea, Mom!, I just wanted to buy that bag; with no one being in harm" she spitted out, tears pooling out of her mesmerizing, blue eyes she earned from our father.

"Linda, darling, you should tell me if you want something baby, i would surely not decline whatever you wanted, you should've at least informed one of us" My mom said, gently patting Linda's head, trying to calm her down. 

Linda was mom's favorite daughter, she was the apple of her eye, her world, the reason she was basically sane. She didn't exactly hate or treat me in a bad way, I'm just very handful to deal with, the exact opposite of my sister, Linda was always a calm person, since young, she was always quit, never asked for anything, but I've always knew that was her way to get anything she wanted. 

Nevertheless, Mom always had some pinned up anger against me, she would find the most pathetic excuses to scold me, that was until Linda was born. she became her everything leaving me a simple 'decoration' of this house,  When my father died, my mother was forced to relocate to another country to begin a new life, which was really hard to cope with.

I rolled my eyes in annoyance and left the house, going for walk, it always seemed to calm me and make me sane again. I started going out for walk when I was stressed or when I had a fight with my mom, which was almost everyday, it would be a miracle if we didn't fight for a singular day. I've always wanted to escape this hell hole, And I will, after I finish college I will travel to Italy, Rome and be a successful detective, it was since birth that I dreamed of being a detective after the death of my beloved father, who passed away for about 6 years now, I was currently 22 years old, So he had passed away since I was about 16 years old.

I checked my watch, only to discover that 2 hours had passed. After arguing with myself, I decided to return home and sleep since I was fatigued.

i head back home, making my way to my room, after I showered and dressed in my pajamas, I layed in bed, my head facing the roof as thoughts wandered in my mind, after a while my eyes became droopy and I found my self sleeping.

The next day:

June 30th, 2021

Nermine Jose, point of view:

I jolted awake, drenched in sweat, my heart beat skyrocketing. It was just a dream. i looked over my watch and panicked! it was now 5:30, my mother and Linda yesterday informed me that they wanted to go to this club that has recently opened, And i agreed, since honestly, whether i willingly wanted to do it or not, it didn't matter, my opinion didn't matter to them.

I got up and went to my bathroom, taking a shower to freshen up before taking Linda and Mother to this club they had always wanted to go to since the day it opened, I didn't really enjoy or like attending clubs or, in general, even crowded places, I've always had this dread of standing in crowded places.

After getting dressed, i head down to the living room only to the see the one and only, Linda, i sighed and took a seat next to her, i glanced at what she was wearing and was left flabbergasted, she wore a mini red skirt and black mini crop top and huge black heels, she looked absolutely breath-taking, however, i was a bit shocked to see her wearing that, even though she had nasty temperature and attitude, she hardly ever wore something skimpy like that.

She noticed my intense glare and coughed nervously, taking my attention on her choice of clothes,

"Where's Mom?" i nonchalantly blurted out.

"Getting ready"

I nodded and want to the kitchen to grab me something to eat as i was really famished and needed to eat something before i send them to the club. I grasped an apple in a container in the fridge and poured my self some orange juice. After i was done devouring my apple, i heard footsteps and immediately knew that was mother.

" Finally, lets go " i said, annoyance dripping out of my crust voice as i exited the kitchen.

We finally arrived at our destination after a lengthy trip. Mother and Linda got out of the car, and just as I was about to leave, A group of of scary looking men carrying weapons approached the club, i dont normally care who enters the club, but their presence seemed dangerous, i hesitated at first but eventually left.

After a while of driving, I realized I had forgotten my phone in my mom's bag, and i urgently needed it;  so i decided to quickly get it and come home and relax . 

I was ready to enter the club when I heard a blood-curdling scream, and I became terrified at the prospect of my family being wounded. I stormed in and looked around, but there was no one to be seen; my fear grew as I began to look around even more; I searched and searched, but no one was to be found. I immediately left and went to the police station to report everything; I was a bawling mess, my hair everywhere, tears collecting in my eyes. I had no idea what to do; yeah, they did not treat me well, but they are still my family.
