Mystified

Chapter 6

Its Morning , as i get up , i notice i have been sleeping on the floor . I wash my face and as i walk out of the bathroom , I stare at my reflection . I am not myself anymore , my eyes swollen , i am not that cheerful and sweet girl anymore . I am just blank , i so wonder why do i exist & wish to be dead . "Aaah! Aaah! HEl...ppp! . I hear loud screams and as i rush down the stairs is see in front of , a horrifying scene . There laid a body in a pool of blood , as i observe it was Christine but how did she enter?. Then Jenny just opens the garage door and by the sight of the body she drops the papers in her hand . Me and Jenny exchange looks of terror , we both stare at awe.

The next day , Christine's body was being buried . She was the only hope i had , the key to finding more about my mom's incident . I lay my head on Jenny's shoulder , tears drip down my cheeks and on Jenny's shoulder  . Then i notice a familiar figure in front . Marcus . I get up with a jerk and tap on his shoulder . "Oh hey , Mia right" he says casually acting as if nothing happened . I blurt out the questions and words that come to my mind on his face . "Why are you following me ? why did you drag my mother to danger ? and Why are you here ? . I need to know now! " . Then he lifts one of his 'brows and give a wicked smile . "Me , your mom fell in love with me , and why you're talking about the past , she's dead" . He says it with no pain , his lips full of wickedness .

He comes closer and whispers , "don't u dare ask me those questions in public"& then he brushed past my shoulders and left . A dozen eyes were staring at me , like i was now the center of attention . I felt embarrassed and head home . On the way i receive a call , i pick it up.

"Hello , who's it?"

"Is it Mia ? I am Tony , Christine's friend , She has told me to tell you some things , could you come to my house?"

"yeah sure , Address?"

"St. John , 14"

I head to his house and notice his tiny figure on the doorsteps of his house . He says as me and Jenny enter his house . "before i say , i just want to apologize" . Jenny interrupts , "Like advance apologies " , she giggles . I give her a stare . Tony starts speaking "As i say , we haven't found any proofs since , that there has been an end to these evidences . There could be many reason your mom might have been killed and many people we could include but we cant find the one ". You kidding , this cant be a joke . Before i speak , he keeps his fingers on my lips .

" Shush , let me speak . But when we see the probabilities it could be Marcus . He is a fierce criminal & he can play both roles at once . I suppose he played his nice self towards you , which might have made you like him " He chuckles

Hey it ain't funny, sometime you might just blindly like a person , doesn't anyone get it . "Forget it" I say  making faces . "So if u really suspect him , put him in the freaking jail . I would love to see him decay in there " my voice full of rage and fierceness .
"Woah there , calm down missy , you can't do that . Rules are rules , can't prison him without proofs "

No way , I know rules are rules , but he is a major threat to our society , he could be even doing crimes even now or threatening someone now or running after an innocent lady . Why can't proof be the easiest thing to get ? Huh ? . Then after a long thinking , I speak in a soft voice like a small kid , "I'm outta here " and then I just leave the house and slam the door shut .

To be exact , I didn't even think Jenny was in there , just got into the car , took a deep breathe and started driving . I turn on some music at high volume to loosen things up in my mind . It always help , as I tap the steering and my legs to the beat of the music . I feel a sensation that someone is calling out to me , I turn off the music and observe my surroundings , nothing maybe a hallucination . And then out of nowhere..
