Hidden Whispers

12th August

Brianna Blackwood was a girl of a variety of personalities. She was sometimes this crazy buffoon, and sometimes as serious as a lawyer. She was different from others, and that was what scared her the most.

Growing up without a mother figure and a father who molested her, she was quite mature, and trusted less than two people. Namely, only Claire Whittaker.

Brianna used to say that Claire herself made her who she is. Smart, savage and especially strong. Without Claire, she wouldn't be who she was that day.

That day, the sudden call from Claire meant a nightstay. She could finally tell Claire that she was going to get a job at the new record shop. They paid $500 a month which was quite okay.

However, she was hit with shock when Claire told her about Jake. She, despite being strong, was a girl of really short temper. And at that time, her mind really went off. When Mikaela started shouting at her sister, she merely went away from the Whittaker house, and isolated, got into a bar without restrains.

Drink after drink after drink was shot down get throat, burning herself up, turning her into this person she feared for long.

There comes a time in our lives where we do certain things that we regret. But when we do those things after heavy drinking, there's no regret as we don't even remember doing it at all.

The monster in the form of Brianna Blackwood advanced towards Claire Whittaker's house. The moment Claire opened the door, Brianna hit her with the glass bottle in her hand.

Simple, really.

She dragged her love's body across the backyard and took a rope, tying it around Claire's neck, fixating it ever so tightly. Why, you ask? Well, Brianna Blackwood could not process the thought that the girl whom she believed the most and only loved, could be touched by someone else.

And in that fragment of time, Brianna herself became the monster Claire always feared. The emotionless, drunk monster who hung the skinny lifeless body of her love on the branch of a tree, out of hatred towards Claire.

The wound kept on bleeding, and Brianna left it unattended. She took Claire's diary and headed back home, where she had a great night's sleep.

The next morning, she woke up hammered, ill, and apparently hit with a disease called lacunar amnesia, which is the loss of memory of one specific event, and occurs mostly due to heavy drinking.

And then, Brianna Blackwood swore on herself to kill that person who killed the love of her life.

Irony, isn't it? The killer is trying to kill the killer who killed the killer's lover.

Brianna Blackwood swore on herself to kill herself. But could she?

Brianna might regain her memory and might turn psychotic. She might be satisfied, due to the fact that she could fulfil her desires. Or, she might simply be caught by the police.

That's the strange sadistic beauty of life. It lets you decide what your future will hold. And then curves it in its own way.

But for now, let's just let Brianna sleep under the stars, happy because in her world her mission is fulfilled. Let her drown into the calmness of nature, as we all know, we come from where we all must go.

THE END
