Part 6

Logan pondered a moment before sending the knife Ethan's way.

The knife flew across the room in slow motion.

As it hit it's acquired target, the knife slid into Ethan's neck leaving him to dangle and jerk like a fish out of water. The knife severed a artery so the blood began to squirt out. Ethan jerked and jolted until he went limp. Some of his blood covered Hannah.

"It's a bull's-eye" Logan squawked.

Hannah began to shake. She didn't know if it was due to fear, pure rage or mere survival instincts. Her breath became shallower. Logan slipped and slide in the blood on the floor. It was clear to see this guy was messed up.

Hannah cried out and screamed as she couldn't stop staring at the lifeless body of her once upon a time twin. His head was tilted to one side exposing his neck and collar bone.

Hannah began to feel sick then she was sick. Then Hannah cried a growl chattering her teeth again.

"Stop crying or I'll really give you something to cry about"

"More than the fact you just murdered my twin in front of me"

"Was that back talk?. My father would have beaten the shit out of me for that. This is your last warning." Logan said smacking Hannah over the back of her head.

Logan tied Hannah up to the radiator while he took Ethan's body out into the back garden.

Hannah listened through a broken window to the sound of digging. Logan buried Ethan's corpse. To cover up his crime he then built a shed on top of him.

As he came back inside Hannah watched as Logan tidied up and cleaned the kitchen. It was like nothing had happened.

No crime scene. No crime.

Logan, once he has finished cleaning walked over to Hannah and untied her.

"Why. Tell me why" She demanded. Hannah was at that stage where she couldn't care if he killed her on the spot.

"I was once like you my girl. I had a twin too. Way back when. He was taken from me. My mother too. My pathetic, drunken excuse of a father murdered them both and he got a filthy copper to hide everything so he didn't go down."

Logan stood up and opened his arms wide. He began to twirl in a circle.

"Are you pound of me now dad? I turned out just like you. Maybe my girl will be like me too" He scoffed.

Hannah scoffed back at him and rolled her eyes.

"I will never be like you and FYI I'm not yours so kindly stop calling me so Logan."

"Logan? no you can call me lover."

"Like hell I will" Hannah spat kicking him in the shin and making a run for it.

Hannah managed to run all the way home where she told her parents everything. They called the police and they came and searched the house but there was no sign that anyone had been there in years. The police removed the shed and began to dig and they didn't find Ethan's body nor any evidence he was there.

After a while Hannah gave up trying to convince her parents and the police that a guy named Logan was there. That he killed her brother and that he will be back.

"Hannah. Come now we are moving in to our new home tonight." Hannah's mother called out. Hannah finished packing a box and they left the B&B.
