Buried Secrets"Actress Freyja Walker, age 28, was found dead outside of a New York Hotel. Sources say there was alcohol found in her system. Freyja was a well-known beauty to the public eye, known as a popular and successful actor. She was born with voluminous, curly, jet black hair and crystal blue eyes. All, including her fellow actors adored her heavy Russian accent. She had recently made a comeback after a nasty fall from grace with the movie, "The Last Duchess". The autopsy report hasn't been released yet... more to come."The television clicks off as Freyja crashes on her brand new couch, laughing. She smiles to herself as she says"And some people say I can't act. I faked my own death...beat that! Being a twin finally came in handy. Poor Angela...she did not even see that coming. I am finally free."In the past, Freyja always played second best to her identical twin sister Angela. To their parents, Angela was the better child. Angela was prettier, smarter and lived a clean life. As a child, Freyja got her sister's scraps including toys, food, and their parents love. At the age of sixteen, Freyja started doing drugs after many years of being abused and neglected. After a two year struggle with drugs, Freyja ran off to Hollywood to become a big star at the age of eighteen. Despite being one of the top actors in America, she has had many run-ins with the cops. Back in Freyja's new apartment, she is sitting on her couch with her freshly dyed blonde hair slicked into a bun, finishing her FaceTime call with her boyfriend of two years, Michael. "You're coming to visit me after work today, right?" Michael nods his head then says, "Of course. I got to go now..." With that, Freyja hangs up and gets ready for work. After a long day of waitressing, Freyja returns to her apartment and makes herself a glass of coffee. She looks over an old script for a car commercial. After reading, Freyja goes into the kitchen and grabs a treat. As if on cue, her Shih Tzu, Romeo, comes into the room. Bending down to give Romeo the treat, she senses something behind her. She looks behind her to see a shadow, but a moment later it disappeared. She shakes her head in confusion as she pours another glass. She soon notices Romeo's attention moved off somewhere, before he runs off. Not thinking anything of it, Freyja goes to the balcony, taking in the view as she takes another sip of her drink. Freyja leans on the balcony rail as the sunset lights highlights her facial features. Freyja hears the door opens casing a smile to appear on her face as she speaks."Michael, is that you?" Freyja, excited, skips back into the hotel, only to see a vase filled with white Calla Lilies. Still smiling, Freyja picks up the vase, exposing a note that reads "From your biggest fan" underneath it. Confused, Freyja turns around as she notices her door is open, then starts walking towards it. Once Freyja walks over to the door, she is pushed back into the room. Freyja eyes go wide as a man with brown hair and hazel eyes walks into the room."Marcus?"A struggle ensues when the man runs up to Freyja and begins chocking her. Gagging, Freya begins clawing at her attacker. They tussle for a bit until he harshly throws her to the floor. Freyja, quick to her feet, says"How did you find me?" Freyja grabs a nearby vase as she storms over to Marcus. Suddenly a loud sound fills the halls of the apartment."Boom!" Freyja's eyes go wide as she clutches at her bloody abdomen. Her once lively sparkling blue eyes begin to become dull as she crumbs down to the floor on her knees, dropping the vase to the floor, shattering it to pieces. Once she is down to the floor, the man walks towards her sneering as he says "I hope you didn't forget about me..."Marcus grins as he walks towards a bloody mouth Freyja as she speaks."I...I loved you..."Before Marcus can say anything else, Freyja takes her last bit of energy and pushes a large glass shard into his chest. As Marcus falls, Freyja weakly grins as memories overtake her. Eleven years ago, she walked down the aisle of a small church to marry someone she thought she loved. They never told anyone about their marriage, not even Angela, who was Marcus's longtime girlfriend. Unfortunately, for him, Marcus cared for both sisters so he could not choose between them. Within months it became clear, Freyja, who so desperately wanted to hurt her sister, would do anything to make it happen, even if it meant destroying herself in the process. She called the cops on her husband and lied to them about his misdeeds. Eleven years later, Angela finds out the truth and confronts Freyja over the phone. Freyja comes cleans and invites Angela over to her hotel. "It's been so long since we last talked in person." The first thing Freyja does is offers Angela a drink and leads her to the balcony.
