Falling For A Murderer

Madness sings.

If I told you I planned to marry Xander, have ten kids and live happily ever after, I would be lying. That's not the plan at all. Yes, I love Xander but I have some things I need to take care of first.

Step 1 of the plan was to track down Charlie. He doesn't know where I am yet but he will find out soon. He always finds out. I need to stay a step ahead of him at all times. No. Matter. What.

Step 2 is to lead Charlie to me. Now, now. I know that sounds stupid and you're probably wondering why I would want to lead Charlie to me but that is where step 3 comes in. Kill Charlie.

Then, and only then, will I marry Xander.

I thought about my plan throughout my hour long shower before finally turning off the water and slipping on a pair of black lace panties and one of Xander's button up shirts. This morning I planned to make French toast and some bacon and of course to make some coffee because let's face it, coffee is life, then to wake up Xander and have some fun around the house. We had a big pool in the backyard so yeah.

I slipped out of the bathroom and tiptoe through the room before slipping out the bedroom door and walking down the hallway into the kitchen. I started the coffee and then got out the ingredients for French toast. No sooner had I plopped my first slice of bread in the batter then a dude in a suit came in.

I jumped out of my bed the moment she screamed my name.

"XANDER!!!!"

I ran into the kitchen to see Edmund on the floor with my beautiful girlfriend on top of him holding a whisk to his throat. Yes, she was holding a whisk.

"I will kill you with this whisk if you are one of Charlie's people sent here to get me!" She muttered harshly to the poor butter.

I was in hysterics. Edmund looked like he was about to shit his pants and Allie looked so confused by my laughter.

"It's ok baby, he is just the butler."

"Oh." She said before letting Edmund go and getting off of him.

"I'm just gonna go do something real quick." She ran off in the other direction and I helped Edmund off the floor.

"She is very.... Strong for a girl." Edmund said, rubbing his neck and straightening his suit.

"Yes she is but I love her. I am sorry about that Edmund. She has been quite stressed out lately. She thought you were someone else." I replied, patting him on the shoulder before going in the direction Allie had just went in.

I was running down corridors upstairs and down again. All this running until I came across a bright red door. In the movies, the bright red door usually leads to the place where you would typically get murdered or watch someone get murdered. Lots of horror happened behind red doors, but I was never afraid of a little horror. Much less, a murder.

So, as I stopped abruptly in front of the red door, I found that it was locked, it had an odd keyhole, like the ones that would fit a skeleton key perhaps. I stood on my tiptoe and reached over the door frame to sweep my hand across it. To my luck, a key fell to the floor and I bent down and picked it up.

I stuck it in the lock and turned it. The door unlocked and I stepped inside. Unaware that Xander was screaming for me down the hall.
