Brietta finally arrived the house that Valentine was told. The house is too large and looks so old, like an empty house with many ghost in there. She he peered from out the window to find the Valentine's stepdaughter. She look on the kitchen, livingroom, diningroom, and all the bedroom but there is no her. So, she climb the roof to look out the attic.

She finally got her! She pull her bow to shoot the target. She is ready to shoot her. When she blinked one more time, she think that she know the girl that she wants to kill. She down her bow and talk to herself

"What? Its Cindy! Oh noo... what I have to do? What I have to do?! If it is Cindy, It means the old man I've killed was Cindy's father... what have I done?"

She start crying. She confused and don't know what have to do. She can't kill her bestfriend, Its too hard. At last, she take the oil on the backyard and her dagger, climb the roof again. Than, she landing her dagger exactly on the edge of her gown. Cindy was shocked and look up and she saw nothing. She cannot run because her gown is stuck, She tried to revoke the dagger but its not working.

Brietta rushed to pour the oil into Cindy's body. Brietta nods slowly "sorry buddy. I have to do this..."

She pour the oil onto her body. Cindy was really shocked and look up one more time but she saw nothing.

"Hey! Who are you? Show yourself! You are so cruel... I know is you Valentine! You are monster!"

Cindy cried, she think that this plan was Valentine's plan. Her gown is full of oil and stinky. She didn't have more gowns. She sit down and crying. There is no hope for her.
