Chapter 7

“Murdered!?”

Everyone breathed in shock at what Dmitri explained, he looked over to Daniel who refused to let go of Sam’s lifeless body, she had been wrapped in a cloth by him and he was rocking back and forth. No one said anything to him, what could they say?

“You mean… someone actually…” Denis swallowed the lump in his throat. “Actually killed her?”

Dmitri only nodded.

“Oh my god!” Jen cried as Nick held her close trying to fight off the anger she had in who killed the person she loved.

“Why the hell…?” Jacob cursed. “Who the hell would kill her? What reason would this person have in doing it?”

“I don’t know.” Dmitri said honestly before walking over to Daniel who was still holding on to his sister, eyes cloudy and dazed, he looked like if you were to touch him he’d break. His mouth moved silently saying one thing over and over again. “Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.”

“Daniel, you need to let go of Samantha now.” Dmitri said softly as he placed his hand on the unmoving man’s shoulder.

Daniel shook his head quickly, as he continued to rock slightly.

“You have to Daniel, she’s not going to wake up… no matter how much we all want her too…”

Daniel froze; mouth stopped moving, eyes going wide in horror. His grip tightened slightly. “No… I can’t.” he spoke finally. “I can’t let her go… what if she wakes up and I’m not there…? I… I know I haven’t been the best brother but I need to be there when she opens her eyes… I need too… I need too…”

Dmitri placed his hands under Daniel’s chin and forced him to look at him. “I know how badly you want her to open her eyes and then laugh saying “Sorry I was asleep for so long, I didn’t mean to worry you.” But she’s never going to do that.” He hesitated for a moment. “I… I know what it feels like, to have someone you love ripped right out of your life, but clinging on to the hope that she will wake up won’t do you any good. You need to let her go.”

The tears began to fall again as his hands slowly, shakily, began to let go of his sister’s body, Dmitri gently too her into his. When Sam was no longer in Daniel’s grasp he broke down and cried.

          “What the fuck is going on?” Mark demanded, having everyone look his way, he looked like he had just stepped out of the shower, Mary was with him looking at them all with a frown. “What’s with all the screaming and crying? You guys look like somebody died.” He asked as they reached the bottom of stairs.

“Somebody did.” Dmitri growled as he walked passed them glaring at them both. “Or maybe, one of you already knows that.”

The both took a step back from him when he spoke in a dark tone.

“Wait…!” Nichole called to him, making him look back. “Where are you taking her?”

He looked down at Sam’s body with sad gentle eyes then to Nick. “To the storage room, it’s cool so her body won’t start to decompose. She at least deserves some type of peace in a quiet room, even if it is near the freezer.”

Jeannine gagged and Denis muttered a curse.

 “Fuck that aint’ right man…”

Mark watched Dmitri walk passed, his eyes glued to Sam’s lifeless body that had been wrapped in the white cloth. “No way… she’s… she’s really dead…?”
