Burned Alive

Chapter 3: Burnt Marks

Destiny felt her mouth dry up at Andrew's words. Murdered?. She looked at her friends,their eyes were slightly widen, she turned back towards Andrew and said"Andrew,-" He held up a hand, smiled and said,"please, call me Andy" Destiny licked her lips and said,"Andy, how do you know that your sister was.... Murdered?" Andrew answered back," because, I know my sister wouldn't kill herself, she was my twin, my other half, I just know she wouldn't kill herself" Destiny looked at Zachary and Casey and said," you guys wanna take this case?" Zach and Casey looked at each other and said,"sure". Destiny looked back at Andy and said,"well, looks like we're taking your case Andrew" Andrew's eyes instantly lighted up at the sound of that "Great, I'll show you the house" instantly he showed Destiny a picture of the house(same house at the start of the story), Destiny saw the house and said,"got it, let's go guys".

They stood up, left the booth, went out the door, hopped on their boards and skated towards the house. Skating down the sidewalk, Destiny saw the house a mile ahead, she stopped infront of the large black gate, it didn't have a door, just an arc where it should have been. Zach and Casey stood on either side of her looking up at house. It was a two story, brick, all black from the fire that had happened inside it.

While looking at it, Zach said," the front lawn looks big enough for a graveyard" Destiny chuckled and said,"well, what are we waiting for?" and started walking up to the door of the house with Zachary and Casey in tow. Once she reached the door, she looked back at Zach and Casey and said," well, let's see what's inside" the instant she put her hand on the doorknob, everything went white.

The minute the world went white, Destiny knew she was having a vision, they happened whenever she touched something old.

In her vision she saw a young boy and girl, they looked like they were in a backyard, they both had red hair, while she was looking at them, two names came to her mind,Andrew and Ariel, the kids that were playing in the backyard were Andrew and his sister when they were young, while she was looking at them, the young Ariel in her vision turned towards her and her face morphed into the face that Destiny had saw at the house.

No eyes, a sad smile, the Ariel in her vision opened her mouth and spoke in a little girl voice," First one lies, Second one dies" she kept on singing it, like some twisted, sick, nursery rhyme. Destiny put her hands over her ears, trying to drown out the voice,"First one lies, second one dies, First one lies, Second one dies, First one lies, Second one dies".

No matter what she did she couldn't drown it out, she heard the joy in the girl's voice, and knew she was enjoying it, suddenly, Destiny felt a burning sensation on her right hand, she heard, Zachary's voice say," Destiny! Destiny!" Destiny opened her eyes, she felt something hot on her right hand and found that the doorknob she was gripping was smoking, scared, she pulled her hand away and stared at it, Zachary and Casey stared at it too, finally Zach said in a shaky voice,"h,h,h, how did that get on your hand?". Destiny didn't answer,she had no idea how it got on her hand, but she did know she couldn't stop looking at her hand, because there on the palm of her right hand, was a capital, smoking, A.
