Manipulate My Heart

the letter

Skylar's pov

I was walking through the hallway after my class were over until I heard a bloodcurdling scream from the backyard.
The voice seemed oddly familiar no way it was Alice's voice I thought and ran towards the backyard.

There were few girls holding Alice and a girl holding cigarette was walking towards her and suddenly pressed the cigarette on her eyes.

My blood boiled I rushed over there quickly and grabbed Alice from the girls grasp. " What is going on here " I asked angrily. " Um ms. Skylar we were just playing with Alice " They said."  Oh so someone crying in pain is called playing " I asked.they suddenly apologized to Alice and ran away from the place I guess they must be scared which they should be.

" Are you okay Alice " I asked her, " No Skylar" She replied. I frowned and took her to the infirmary. I stopped the nurses there from treating her since I was afraid they will cause my snow baby pain.

I personally treated her eyes and just the thought of her eyes being damaged made me angry on that bitch. Those precious blue orbs were now damaged luckily not
Too much.

It was time for my lunch break though I didn't want to leave her alone I had to go since the principal was waiting for me to explain my plans for the project. I sighed got up from the seat comforted her and left for the class.

Alices pov

After being in the infirmary for more than one hour which felt like years the nurse told me that I can go back home after they take out the bandage.

I looked up in the mirror to see my face and saw that my eyes were slightly damaged or I may say bruised. The nurse then gave me some medicine and told me to apply two times once in morning and once before sleeping for a week.

I walked out of the infirmary after thanking the nurse, went to the parking lot outside the universiry. Took my bicycle and rode all the way to my apartment.

My eyes still hurt but still I managed through the ride. After reaching home I took the keys out of my pocket and opened the apartment. As I was going to enter the apartment I saw a letter hanging out of the mailbox.

I stretched my hand out to pick the letter up and read.

Weird I thought to myself. I guess children next door are playing around again. I went in the apartment and went to my room not that I took the note seriously I just went in there so I can change my clothes but then I saw a key on top of another letter. Hmm they are good at this game I thought. I guess I should just play along.

I went near the place where the letter was kept after keeping the key in my pocket. It was quite fancy. I opened the letter which after reading made me frown.

This definitely is not written by a child I thought. For clarification I went to the neighbors to ask just to hear them reply no. Who could this be. I went to the nearest tree and saw a big cheat beside it.

I was terrified so I dialled 911 just for safety purposes. " Hello how may I help " A deep male voice spoke from the other end. " Hello sir I am Alice and there is a big chest near my apartments tree " I said.

" Hello there Alice I am richie, now can you pls breifly explain the situation " He said. " Well apparently I came home from my university I saw a letter popping out of my mailbox I opened it and there was written that there is something special in my room. I went to my room thinking that one of my neighbors kids must be pranking me so I ignored it. I then made my way to the room so I can change clothes but then I saw a key on top of a letter I opened it again thinking it as a joke played by kids. Then when I read it there was written that there is something near the tree and that I should be careful. I went to the neighbors to ask if it was there children doing but they said no. So I then resorted to call 911." I said in one breath.

" Woah miss calm down take a deep breath and also you don't have to worry it's nothing that can be considered a threat as it's just a chest maybe it has gold or something. He said. He hung up the call after saying these words.

I had lost hope in police and went to open the chest with the key. Once I opened the chest I screamed on top of my lungs at the site. In the chest was bries dismembered body with her hands on her ears with her lifeless body.

It looked like she was apologizing to me. I then suddenly felt a chill on the back of my neck. I looked behind me but there was nothing present.

I was trembling from the fear and shock.
I shakingly dialled 911 a young female voice came through asking me how can she help all I could say was " He... Help me th.... There's a dis... Dismembered body h...here".theu asked me the adress but u was so shocked that I fell on my hands and knees but just in time my neighbour came after hearing my bloodcurdling scream and told the adress to the police.

They took me back to my apartment and laid me down on my bed so I can rest but I was not able to sleep all I could see after closing my eyes was the dismembered body of brie.

Suddenly my phone rang. It was a call from an unknown number. I picked up the call and from the other side said a deep voice" Hello to you my love, did you like my present. I specially made it for you. " Then a loud lafter can be heard.

I gulped hard and then what I heard from the other side made me break down in tears.
