The Mystery

Murder

(Ash's POV)

I woke up at the sound of my phone ringing. It was morning , I had probably fallen asleep reading her diary. I reached for my phone and accepted the call.
"Hello", I said.
"Hey Ash! Why do you sound sleepy?"
"Who are you?", I asked yawning.
"It's me Cilan. Did you go through the evidence?"
"Yes , that's what kept me up last night."
"Would you please explain it to me then?"
"What do you mean?"
"I've never read the diary or the notes "
"Why? You had the box with you for so long", I replied with a hint of annoyance in my voice.
"I barely had it for a few days. It is difficult to get such evidence because I don't work with the police."
"How did you get it then?"
"I have my ways. But this isn't important right now. Explain!"
"Long story short, Misty doesn't remember her childhood, she lived with her aunt but after she moved away she was attacked, she came across her sister's note who is dead and managed to get her memories back. I'll tell you the rest if you come over."
"That's it?I'll be on my way then.", he sighed.

I ended the call and cleared my desk. I couldn't believe what I read yesterday.
After a while, Cilan arrived. I offered him a cup of tea and started filling him up with details.

Flashback
(3rd person POV)
A girl of around 15 was sitting in the living room with a worried expression plastered across her face. The door suddenly opened and a blonde of 20 entered. She quickly fastened the door and drew all the curtains.
"I've sent all your belongings to your aunt. Take this and follow all the instructions. Stay hidden until he is gone.", said the blonde handing out a box.
"But what about you Daisy?", asked the younger girl.
"I'll be fine Misty, just hide under the table", replied Daisy.
Misty quickly ran towards the table and hid under it. She was completely covered by the table cloth and held the box tight. As soon as she settled, she heard someone pounding on the door. The door was opened after a while.
"Why are you here?", questioned Daisy.
"You know why. You were the one who busted me and I am suspended thanks to you"
"I just did what I was supposed to Harley. This is completely your fault."
"No it's not. You do not know whom to mess with, do you?"
"I don't care if you belong to a rich and powerful family. It was my duty to report you.", shouted Daisy.
Harley seemed frustrated. He was short tempered and did not care who was standing in front of him. He charged at Daisy and grabbed her neck. She fought back and smashed a nearby vase onto his head. He loosened his grip and she saw this as an opportunity to escape. She couldn't succeed because he soon came back to his senses and grabbed her arm. She tried to free herself but his grip was too strong. He threw her across the floor. She tried getting up, but the next thing she saw was a knife in his hand.
"You wouldn't"
"Try me", he replied.
Misty who was traumatized from the situation heard a slicing sound and saw the shadow of her sister falling on the ground. Tears streamed from her eyes but she still had to stay put.
The knife dropped out of Harley's hand and his eyes widened. He didn't mean to kill her, it was his temper which took control. He dialled a number and started speaking to his friend explaining the situation.
"You did what?!", his friend was surprised.
"What do I do now?"
"I'll come over. We'll try clearing up the place and probably bury her in a cemetery."
"We might get caught if we bury her in a cemetery"
"We'll decide that later. Get out of that place right now. Wait for me a few houses away from hers"
"Come quick", Harley said and left the house.

Misty came out of hiding after a few minutes and bolted the door. She couldn't bare the sight of her sister laying dead. She opened the box and started reading the notes.

1)Put on the gloves.
2)Place any sort of evidence in the ziplock bag carefully.
3)get rid of your belongings which remained.
4) wear the hoodie and go out.
5) inject Ash with the medicine in the bottle labelled 1. Half the bottle.

Misty quickly wore the gloves and picked up the knife. She placed it in a ziplock bag and put it in the box. She then searched for her belongings, if any were left behind. She found her photographs and stuffed them into the box. She removed the gloves and placed them back into the box and put on the hoodie. She left the house as quickly as she could and walked towards her friend's place. Before she could even arrive she met Ash who was looking for her. He handed her a letter and said goodbye. She had no time for this. She quickly injected him as he turned around to leave. He started loosing his balance and was now unconscious. She dragged him away from the road and propped him up against a nearby fence. She left him there and went towards the bus stop. She could finally breathe as she arrived at her aunt's house. Her aunt opened the door and soon embraced her as Misty burst into tears. She was aware of the situation. She took the box from her hand and led Misty to her new room. As soon as Misty entered she felt a sharp pain in her neck.
