When Scarlett woke up,she was in a cellar. It had a pale yellow light dangling above her. There was nothing else in the room except for a chair infront of her.
Scarlett checked her pocket,her phone wasn't there. Who would want to kidnap her? Why?
She was looking around for any sort of things for defence.As she was searching the door slammed open. Scarlett was shaking and she sat in the corner of the room against the wall.
A tall shadow stepped in. It was a woman, Scarlett could make out , as underneath the mask,that covered her whole face, had red locks bouncing down. The woman was wearing black head to toe. She had a small pistol in her hand,small but enough to kill. In her other hand was a cigarette.
Scarlett leaned back. The woman came closer and closer. Scarlett said a silent prayer,knowing this was her end. Instead,the woman stopped in her tracks slowly. Now Scarlett could see,emerald green eyes through the eye holes.
The woman slowly placed her hand on her head,she started to lift her mask up. It revealed first a long neck, plump red lips, that had a cruel grin,revealing her yellow unhealthy and half broken teeth. The eyes showed slowly, her face all came together. Scarlett wasn't able to breath. As she was about to faint , the woman pointed the pistol to Scarlett , telling her not to faint again.
The gangster face,the pistol and the cigarette belonged to...
"M-m-mom?" Scarlett croaked out. Her mother stood up still. She stopped pointing the pistol at Scarlett now and gave away her frown. Her face relaxed in an evil way,following a toothy grin that made Scarlett shiver.
"Darling,did you think I could keep away from you?" Her mother said,her voice had changed a bit,it went from sweet to devilish and slurring.
"B-b-but how? Y-y-you died! Y-y-you didn't? Then how?y-y-you.." Scarlett stuttered,she was interrupted by her Mother.
"Now now patience, dear old mummy will explain everything to you,but first,you have to promise to keep it a little secret?" Her mother asked her,slurring. Scarlett nodded,she didn't want to blow over,not just yet.
"That's a good girl!" Her mother exclaimed, she handed Scarlett her phone and Scarlett placed it down beside her.
"Are you going to tell me now?" Scarlett asked
"Oh yes ,yes! Dear,did you notice anything strange about the person you bumped into the street who punched you? The person in the drive thru?" Scarletts mouth opened wide and her eyes left their sockets. "Yes! Yes! Dear girl,that was old mummy keeping an eye on you." Mother slurred. "You see your father was a very boring man. He was boring and too good. As far as I could see,the wealth,this house,and everything that was worthy he was about to drop it down to you when you turned eighteen! Well that left me on the hook! I finally came to my senses,and well got things done...." Mother slowly said the last sentence.
"Y-y-you killed f-f-father?" Scarlett croaked out. She was crying out a river. She was shaking and she was covering her face with her hands.
"Why on earth are you crying? I brought you here to tell you the good news!" Mother exclaimed.
Scarlett couldn't bring herself to look at her mother,who used to be the one embracing her father and Scarlett every night. Her mother was a crazy pyschopath who had killed her own husband.
"W-w-What good new?" Scarlett asked.
"You will be helping your mother out with the chores of course! You will join my little girls cult! Just imagine it! Mother and daughter reunited!" Her mother devilishly chuckled and was playing with the gun in her hand.
"No!" Scarlett said. She couldn't believe she plucked up the courage to even look up.
"What do you mean?" Her mother asked,she seemed angry and disappointed.
"You killed my father but I won't let you kill anyone else!" Scarlett screamed.
Scarlett now got up. Her mother was confused for a while. Scarlett made a try to snatch the gun from her mother,but when she did throw herself on her mother, she was thrown across the room,her head hitting the wall.
"You were always like your father. If you love him so much then why don't you go join him!" Her mother shrieked. She punched Scarlett. Scarletts vision got blurry but she wasn't going to give up. She saw a window to the side. She managed to take the gun from her mother. She at first pointed it at her mother,and was horrified to think that the person she was fighting was her mother.
Scarlett punched her mother. Her mother's fragile body fell to the ground with much force. She was getting up when Scarlett kicked her in the face.
Her mother rolled her eyes and blacked out.
Scarlett left the gun,she was knew she would be put behind bars is she took it outside. She couldn't open through to window,so she decided to go upstairs .
Her old house....
It was nothing like her childhood. It used to be homey and well decorated. Now it smelled disgusting and even looked disgusting. There was blood splashed on the walls. There were bottles of drinks on the counter. The sofas where covered in vomit. The mirror was shattered. Scarlet couldn't stay longer,she ran through to front door.....
