The Riddler (Completed)

RIDDLE XIX: WHERE ARE WE?

"Oh no."

"Kessler!" Hernhea shouted when Kessler suddenly ran out of the car, not minding his situation right now.

"Kessler!" She called as she ran after him. She's clueless on why Kessler suddenly ran out of the car, it seems like he saw something that made him act like that.

"Huff, huff, huff."

Hernhea lost track of him, she's now breathing deeply while looking around. She didn't notice that she's now inside Dane's house. It's very quite, she can only hear her own footsteps.

"Kessler? Where are you?" No response. "Anybody home? Anyone?" Still no response. She kept on walking 'til she reached the kitchen and was shocked at what she saw. Bodies lying on the floor and blood all around the place. "Oh my God, what the hell happened here?"

TAK, TAK, TAK.

Hernhea turned around when she heard something, she looked around but saw no one. She grabbed the frying pan on the sink and started walking slowly towards the direction where she thought she heard something.

The direction where she's going leads to the storage room next to the kitchen. She's slowly approaching the room while tightening her grip on the pan.

THUD!

She was startled when she heard a loud sound inside the room.

"Who's in there?" She asked. "Kessler?" No one answered. "If this is a joke, it's not funny." But she really feels that something's not right.

EEENNGKK ..

She opened the door, the room's dark. She turned on the lights and saw Kessler on the floor.

"Kessler!" She threw the pan away and run towards Kessler. "Kessler? What happened? Wake up Kessler!" But Kessler's still unconscious. "What the hell's happening here?!" She can't help but cry, she's wiping her tears without her noticing that someone's already behind her.

"Yihihi!"

"You can do it son. I do believe in you Kessler."

"We're here for you son!"

"Mom, Dad, why did you have to leave us?"

"You know that we're so proud of you."

"Mom, Dad."

"Brother? Brother?" His eyes slowly opened and there he saw a worried face, a face of a girl that's important to him.

"Agh, Ricciane? Where are we?" He asked as Ricciane helped him sit up. "So dim in here."

"I don't know. Someone hit me from behind and when I woke up, I'm already here and then I saw you."

"Are you alright? Where's Dane?" He asked as he looked around.

"I don't know, it's just the two of us here." Kessler moved closer to his sister and rested his right arm on her shoulder. Also, Ricciane rested her head on her brother's shoulder. "Why is this happening to us brother?" Kessler don't know what to say, he just rubbed her sister's arm instead.

What should I do now? Should I tell her about the riddler? I mean, since she already became a part of this mess then I think she have the right to know but what if this is not the riddler's doing? Seriously? Does he really need to hit all of us from behind? Can't he just use his "other-worldy" powers for us to be transferred in here? Fuck! Questions again, I still got these fucking questions.
