"It's finally over.. " I said to my best friend Sarah as she embraced me into a tight hug.

"Yes, it is. This period was really stressful for you! I mean, you were facing a lot of things lately and I'm so glad that you are doing a bit better now. Take some time for yourself. There's no one in the whole world that deserves it more than you do! It will take some time to get over everything, to process it and to move on. But you know that you need to do it eventually. You are the strongest person that I have ever met, I know that you can do it.Whatever you need, just hit me up and I'll come, you know that, right? I'm here for you, forever and always. I'm terribly sorry I wasn't there when everything happened." 

I listened to everything she was telling me without any interruptions. Even if I wanted to say anything , I couldn't.. I just couldn't find my voice to do it. The tears started welling in my eyes as the memories of that terrible night came back to me and hit me like a train..

*Flashback*

I heard some voices downstairs. I wasn't all by myself, but I think I just heard some male voices downstairs.. That's strange- I thought to myself. I tried to shrug it off. We had a woman who was always there for us. She wasn't just another worker like somebody would say. The difference with my family is that we treat all of our workers like they were the family of our own. I heard some nice again. But Amy, the woman that works for us must be asleep by now . Mum and dad had left on the business trip and it was just her and me in the house all alone. Maybe she woke up to get a glass of water. But still it doesn't explain the male voices I had heard previously.. No, I'm just imagining things. I tried to listen closely for any indication of movement but there was none. After a few seconds I turned on the other side of my bed and my face was facing the wall now. As I was about to close my eyes, it was the moment when I heard the most terrifying scream. I jumped out of my bed. The blood in my veins froze. What the hell was that?! I grabbed the phone that was on my night table. I'm going to call the police. After a few minutes I succeeded. The police was on their way. I was shaking so bad. I was so scared. I tiptoed to the door and tried to hear any voices downstairs. Again, I heard none. Should I stay here or go downstairs? That's it, I'm going. I opened the door and slowly walked step by step. I tried not to make any sound, just in case there was any intrudors. As I was near the stairs, I started squeezing my phone hard and my hands started going white. I could hear my heart beating like crazy, like I just finished the marathon. I managed to come down. I was near the kitchen now. I heard the glass breaking. I froze on the spot where I was. I heard voices again. 

"Damn it you idiot. Can you do anything right?!"

"I'm sorry. I didn't see it there."  

"Never mind. Just finish so we can get out of here."

What am I going to do now? I need to get the hell out of here! As I was about to turn around and get to the door, two hands grabbed me from the behind and I screamed at the top of my lungs. The man carried me in the kitchen. I was trashing around, trying to free myself, but failed.

"Look boss who I've found. She's a pretty and the fiesty one too."

"Well, well. Indeed she is."  He started walking towards me. I was still held by the other man. I was hopelessly trying to free myself and tossing trying to lose his grip on me. It was no use. I started shaking more then earlier. My face paled as I saw her. I screamed. 

"Amy!! Oh my God! What have you done to her?" I couldn't control my tears as I saw her lifeless body.

The man who I know as 'boss' came closer to me. I could feel his hot breath on my neck. It was to dark to see their faces. The moonlight was the only light I had. I managed to see his tattoo on his right arm. It was a large skull surrounded with flames and there was a crown on top of the skull. My heart was pounding that it could break the rib cage every second.

"Too bad that we've met like this. You really are a sexy one." He whispered to me. I shivered from the fear I felt at the very moment.

The 'boss' turned to the other men.

"Tie her up and burn the house down!"

After that he was gone. My eyes were now wide open as I heard what he commanded them to do.
Oh my God, I'm going to die! The man that was holding me had called the two others and instructed them to tie me as he continued to hold me down. This is it. They were too strong for me. I couldn't do anything to free myself but that did not stop me from trying once again. One of them lighted up the lighter and I could see the evil smirk he had on his face.

"Too bad this has to end this way beautiful. It's nothing personal. It is just a message for your parents. " That was the last what he said as he let the lighter fall on the floor. Everybody went out in the rush and left me there tied on the chair.

The fire started to get near me. I was screaming as loud as I could, hoping that somebody will hear me and come to my rescue. The flames got nearer to me. I was hopelessly trying to free myself. I made a harsh move and the chair fell down. Now I landed on my side still tied up on the chair. The fire lit the pice of the fabric of my shirt that was really close to my stomach. The burning sensation was something that I couldn't bare. I screamed in agony. I knew that the police was on their way, but will they come on time and help me? Will they be able to save me? I couldn't take the pain anymore. I was praying that this agony will stop. My vision started to get blurry as I was hardly keeping my eyes open. I couldn't scream nor cough anymore. The darkness slowly began to embrace me. My body started getting numb. I couldn't feel the pain anymore. This is it. My very end. I never imagined that I'd die this way. I always thought it would be when I'm old and have my own family. What an irony.  The pain started to dull, I couldn't breathe anymore. That's the moment when I closed my eyes and accepted my fate..."

I hugged my best friend and a few traitor tears succeeded to escape..
