Dark Soul

The Finding

I stood there, too numb and frozen to move. She had to be kidding right? But the look in her eyes looked serious, and her eyes were a dark sea blue; just like my mums. It all pieced together and made complete sense.

"sis?" I whispered weakly, my throat was all clogged up. She smiled a large smile with a small tear running past her small cheeks. She held her arms out infront of her and I ran unexpectedly into them. I sobbed loudly into the top of her head, hiding myself in her hair. I stroked it as it muffled my cries. She held onto me as she cried too.

"Serena?" She sniffed, "I didn't mean to kill them, I was only taught how to punish people, I wanted to punish them, not for them to end up like me..." She looked up at me with pleading teary eyes "I can't be free, I want to be with mummy, but they won't let me... I..I-I..." Then she burst out into tears. I came down to her level and held her at arms length.

"Who won't let you be free? Someone has...mum?" It was hard to get out the last word, I'd never used it before. I never called my adoptive mother my mum, it just didn't fit. I just didn't fit. Violet nodded.

"I don't know, they won't tell me. They say I have to find my sister, and she will find her. There are places I can't go Serena. Where mummy is... Please... now you know who I am, you must find her... Set us both free!"

"Mum isn't free!?" I almost screamed. I shook her gently, "What do you mean 'not free'? Who-? But what about Da-?" It didn't work she only cried harder.

"Dad is fine! I know you probably hate me now for killing your friends.But I was possesed, I couldn't countrol myself" I shook my head but she carried on, not letting me get a word in. "But I couldn't phsically tell you, I-I couldn't...You have to understand!" She burst out into tears again. I lifted her chin up for our gazes to meet.

"Violet, listen to me... C'mon listen. Stop crying. I WILL get mum, I WILL free you both. Do you understand?" She nodded calmly. "Good. Do you have any idea where she might be?" She shook her head, and sighed.

"No, but you have to go to the place where she died, that's all I know... I'm sorry Serena, I have no idea where that is. I-I'm sorry I-" Her voice crumbled.

"Violet, you go wherever you can and search for where she could possibly have died. Anywhere. You got that?" She nodded. I hugged her one last time "I love you sis." She giggled.

"I love you too" She whispered back. Then she was gone, out of my grip, I was only hugging thin air. I was alone.

I sighed, she could have died anywhere? Not necessarily at the accident. Did someone take her? Maybe I could find a file on where she died at the policestation. Hang on? Wasn't I IN the station.

I was too absorbed in my sister that I didn't realise I had changed into a different room. Where was I?

I was in a small room with 4 doors on each wall. One looked tightly bolted with a confusing padlock (the one that you twist),  the others were normal wooden ones, one was slightly ajar. I headed towards that one. It had a small stickey note that read:

Puzzle 1

What the...? what did it mean puzzle one? Did I have to go inside?

My heart sank as I read the small letters in the corner.It doesn't get easy from now on..

I opened the large door to find myself in a small room with almost nothing in it, just a small chest that looked bolted with a keypad and a small computer lying on its own in the corner, this is the puzzle? I walked cautiously to the and computer and had to crouch to nudge the mouse. PASSWORD. Oh great! Im screwed! I have nothing! I sighed and sat down, leaning softly on the computer. My head hurt, i'm starting to feel fatigued. Then I noticed the paper hanging off the walls, with a light shade of crimson behind it. I'll probably end up regretting this but i'll have a look. I stood up and walked over to it, and slowly ripped off the paper to reveal some large scrawled numbers and a smiley face, written in... blood:
