River of styx: Water turned blood (Book 1)

Chapter 4

Days after the bodies of Meghan and Karen Holland was found. It was said that the bodies would be laid to rest in Tenby's cemetery.
On June 5, 2019, this was the day they were meant to be buried. 9 o'clock on that day, Sara woke up in Agony realizing the entire reason for her coming into this life is about to be placed below the ground.
She stood up gently from her bed and walked towards the window. She looked up into the sky, it was tar-black and large clouds were moving towards her. She then heard a tapping on the window and within no time it became louder and the rain became heavier. No birds was seen in the sky again.

"Why today"
Sara whispered

She walked into the bathroom to take a quick shower. By the time she came out from the bathroom, the wind started whistling loudly and the curtains hanged against the window were blown away by the heavy wind. Sara didn't bother picking them up.
Sara picked up her black gown, she took a quick glare at the gown before she wore it. Sara always cared about her facial and her skincare routine before leaving her house but the pain of losing the people she loved didn't make her think straight. She picked up a black hair bond and packed her hair into a pony tail

Door knocks
She walked to the door and opened it
"Oh my God Sara... I'm so sorry"
Lesley stretch out her hands to give Sara a hug. Bryan and the rest were speechless and didn't have the courage to look at Sara.

"I know this is a surprise, but we all decided to check up on you before the funeral service commence so that we could all go together."
Lesley said warmly

Loud claps of thunder triggered Sara and she immediately told her colleague to enter the house.

As they entered the house,Sara went straight into her bathroom and she brought out some dry towels. She passed the towels to everyone in the room in order to dry themselves after journeying in the heavy rain. Lesley took a quick look around the house while standing and she realized that was the most daunting place she'd ever entered. She now knew Sara was going through a lot. The house was really dark with no sign of light entering it. Her colleagues were speechless at first. They could feel her pain of losing one's parent and sibling at the same time. Michelle felt nauseous but still walked up to where Sara was sitting and wrapped her arms so that Sara could feel little comfort

Michelle said with empathy in her voice
" you didn't deserve what is happening to you, Sara. I just want you know that we are always here for you."

This made Sara tear up again. Bryan eyed Michelle from a distance and she understood instantly that she shouldn't be saying much to Sara at this period in which she is in much pain and grief.

Michelle gently walked away and the room became silent.

Sara pulled out an Handkerchief from her left pocket and rubbed it under her eyes to clean the drops of tears

She stood up confidently
"It's almost twelve, I think we should be heading off to the cemetery."

By the time they were leaving Sara's house, the rain that was falling in torrents followed with heavy winds had reduced to rain showers.

Lesley unfurled the umbrella to shed herself and Sara because the rain was still drizzling from the sky. Their journey to the cemetery didn't take long because the town wasn't so big and Sara's house wasn't so far away.

By the time they reached the cemetery, the atmosphere wasn't so joyful. The pastor and other people had gotten there before Sara and this made her furious and ask within herself why some random people would get here before her and why they were crying over someone they hardly knew.

Jim was standing few distance away from where people were gathered. When Sara saw him, she went straight to him. He was holding a cigar and obviously had something on his mind. Jim was deep in thoughts that he didn't notice Sara standing beside him until she tapped him.
