The world has been a witness to the bond built in years that was destroyed in a week and sent rains that seen like it might not stop forever. The rains was showing the pains felt by the people but can't be expressed by them. Just to make it worse, Bill was caught for robbing the mall in town later that night. It was heard that he tried to steal some jewelleries from one of the shops. It might be a coincidence, but the brand of the stolen items were the same as to what Hanna got as presents this entire month.
The news struck the whole neighbourhood like a wild fire spreading without control. People never thought that the polite and humble person would do such thing. It just showed that even a good person might not be so good and has a trick up his sleeve to manipulate others. I caught glance of Bill murmuring something just before being taken by the authorities. His eyes were red like crimson during that time as to explode any moment. This incident has effected Hanna more than people can imagine because she didn't just lost a friend, but also a lover.
The next day, the neighborhood was traumatized when the news of Selena's body found dead by the river near the area. It was found out that Selena ran away that night. What was creepy about it was that witnesses claimed they saw the body without head and a headless figure was sighted roaming the area before the discovery of Selena's corpse. However, like what people expected, the officials claimed that the cause was from the cut mark on her hand to avoid panic. I don't know if that was true because I was at the time the news broke out. I could saw the mark on her eyes of her unattached head where Selena might have cried the whole night, accompanied by the rains just before the tragic event. After that, Hanna put a box on the attic and told me to dispose it later.
Those memories struck my feelings again. I just do not know if I should feel sympathy towards my sister. She betrayed her own friend just for a guy that was actually quite a fucked up person. I just want to kill that guy for destroying the friendship that was built from childhood. Even it was not his fault 100%, he was still the main factor of that incident. There is actually something bugging me about Bill after the capturing incident. He was like a different person at the moment with his raging eyes. It was like he is being possessed by unknown entity that could do something very awful. Nevertheless, killing the person would not rework the timeline since time is not something I could control. If only Hanna stays loyal, this could not happen. That is why we must not bite the hand that feeds us.
I just hope that these events never happen again in the future and that this is the end...
................ or maybe it was not?
