Family Knots

Chapter 5

Amanda went in the bathroom to bath herself. Meanwhile, her husband Cairo slept ahead. She had to sleep because of the journey they had done.

Cairo fell asleep on the bed. He sensed someone sneaked in their bedroom, but he didn't mind. He laid flat on the bed. A knife pierced on his chest made him lifeless. The blood spilled over the beddings of their bed.

As Amanda went out of the bathroom, she saw Anna holding a knife with blood dripping of it. Now, she knew that her own sister was the murderer of their mother.

"Anna," she shivered. "Cairo war nicht an unserem Kampf beteiligt,"

"Warum ist er in dein Leben eingetreten, wenn du nicht willst, dass er damit einbezogen wird," Anna asked angrily.

"Er war zu unserer Zeit nicht da," Amanda replied.

Anna ran towards her sister with a knife on the loose. Amanda remembered how Cairo trained her when he was still alive. He taught her how to dodge the knife.

She dodged Anna's attack. She knew she was running out of time. She sensed the smoke from outside. It was like Anna making a suicide mission for herself.

She was thinking how to kill the killer. Now, her ideas were released. She still remembered the pistol Cairo had. It was somewhere hidden in the drawers.

She quickly went for it. She opened the drawer to get the gun. She put it in unsafe mode and shot her sister at the forehead.

Anna fell on the floor with blood oozing out of her head. She ran out of breath and died.

Amanda walked beside her dead husband. She stroke her finger on his face and closed his eyes with her finger.
