Pretty In Pink (HouseOfHorrors)

Part 2

Kiwi once again stood out in the library , wearing pink jeans with an black crop top paired with jean jacket and white sneakers. Her hair was done in space buns pinned by small pink flowers and this time her earring were small golden hoops. She crosses her arms and refused to take another step towards the desk where Latherna was working. " Alright , so this shit sounds pretty freaky which will inspire you a lot " Daniel came up to Kiwi and realized that she hadn't move since they got there. " Kiwi..... " Daniel says and Kiwi pouts still crossing her arms " I don't like her ". Daniel sighs exasperated " Why don't you like her? " Kiwi was being difficult as always , disliking people for the silliest of things. " I don't know , just something about her " Daniel rolls his eyes and grabbed Kiwis wrist " Let's go ". Kiwi struggled against his tight grip " Ahhh...let go of m-hello again Latherna ". Daniel lets go of Kiwi and smiled widely at Latherna " She'll like to check this out please ". Latherna gave Daniel a small smile and looked at Kiwi " Who's this handsome friend of yours Kiwi? ". Kiwi faked an smile " Daniel , we've been friends since I'd moved away ". " Are you going to attend the Harvest Festival this year Kiwi? " Latherna asked and she seethed through her teeth " I don't think so since I had such a blast last time ". " Nothing could ever top the time when my mother killed an innocent man last time we were here " Kiwi smiled widely at Latherna who just gives her a pitying look. " Think you're better than everyone else you hypocritical bit- " Kiwi was getting upset that Latherna gave her a pitying look because she hates pity. Daniel grabbed Kiwis shoulder and gave Latherna a tight smile " We'll be on our way ". Daniel dragged Kiwi out of the library and she shook him off then continue to stomp away angrily. " What's your problem!?! " Daniel exclaimed and Kiwi turns to him fuming " That bitch refused to tell me wh- ". Kiwi lets the sentence die out remembering that Daniel doesn't know about Penny. "Let's just say that people in this town likes to hide things that need to be known and you know how I feel about secrets" Kiwi massaged her forehead while saying it. Daniel smiled at this statement and crosses his arms " I know that for sure , it usually takes me years to tell someone about my uncle but you somehow forced it out of me within only a month ". Kiwi winced remembering how ignorant it was " I didn't know it was that serious , I just thought y- ". Daniel raised his hand to stop her sentence " Don't worry about it , thanks to you I realized that I needed help and got it ". Kiwi looked up at Daniel " Are you sure you don't need any more therapy sessions? " Daniel shook his head " I'm well enough to just take the antidepressants and just check in weekly by phone ". Kiwi plopped herself on a bench and Daniel placed his hands on the back of the bench over Kiwi. " Are you sure you don't need help? " He asks and Kiwi just stayed silent pulling at the sleeves of her jacket over her hands. She looks away from him and Daniel sighs knowing it was no use. Just then , a random man ran up to them and faced Daniel " Is the black SUV y'alls? ". Kiwi just stayed silent in her thoughts so Daniel answered " Yes , why? ". " I sorta accidentally backed up into it.... " The man confessed and Daniel pressed the bridge of his nose " Of course , I'll be back Kiwi ". Daniel and the man jogged off leaving Kiwi all alone. " Do I need help...? " Kiwi questioned herself then realized that she was alone. " Oh....where's Daniel? " Kiwi sighs and looked at the book that Daniel checked for her. " The Cult Of Three " The book cover read and Kiwi dropped the book. Instinctively remembering The Lessons Of The Three " The Woodsman Will Purify You And Be The One To Send You To Paradise....Redrum Will Punish The Liars And Trickster By Making Them Feel Enternal Pain And Hell...And Mother Is Always Watching... ". " NO!! " Kiwi exclaimed and stomped on the book while hitting the sides of her head " They don't exist!! ". " Why isn't anyone here for you Nichol? " Someone whispers and Kiwi turns violently " Who the hell do you think you are!?! ". " Your parents only saw you as a sacrifice and never loved you as a child..especially your father.. "  The strange and soothing voice continued and Kiwi puts her hands against her ears , using jokes as a defense mechanism " Well , you act like I'm the only person in town with daddy issues so.. ". " You thought you were safe and finally had an family when your Mother and Penny took you in their arms "  The voice chuckled like it was funny " Little did you know what lies they were hiding in their basement , like sweet little...what was her name...Lily..remember what you saw Nichol? " . Kiwi heart began pounding in her chest " It wasn't real...it was just a nightmare " Kiwi wrapped her arms around herself " Penny told me it was just a nightmare... ". " Yet you remember seeing her little bo- " The whispers stopped as Kiwi screamed " NO , THERE WAS'NT A BODY JUST MY IMAGINATION!! ". " Aren't you tired of liars Nichol....everyone lied to you your entire life "  Kiwi stayed silent and the whispers continued " Your parents lied about their love....everyone in town lied about what happened to Penny and refused to tell you....your Mother lied about using you and thanks to you , gotten away with several murders....who knows how long until Daniel finally lies to you , just a matter of time... " . Kiwi starts nodding all shaken up " You're right..... " The whispers chuckled again " Don't you want a place where its free of liars and nobody will trick you again , you won't be fooled ever again " . Kiwi nodded again and felt a breeze so she tilts her head up , facing the dark forest across the street. " Come home child....come home to Mother... "  The whispers orders and Kiwi starts walking towards the forest in a trance like state. Kiwi just doesn't want to be heart broken again , she thinks that as she crosses the street. She ignores the calls of Daniel who's running far behind her , Kiwi knows he'll just lie and leave her too. Kiwi ignores everyone around her , including the boy riding the speeding bicycle. She steps onto the sidewalk and then could finally hear the boy screams for her to get out of the way. Kiwi turns and the last thing she sees is a boy riding a bike barreling towards her. Soon the next thing she saw was complete darkness and silence.

I opened my eyes and see that all that was surrounding me was water , I gasped stupidly realizing I was on the bottom of the lake. I recognized the sand and plants with the fish swimming around me. I shut my mouth and tried to swim up back I was getting nowhere , then I saw them. Surrounding me was several dead bodies , floating around me all in various stages of decomposition. I screamed without thought and tried to swim up more frantically but with no success. " Nichol.... " I looked behind where the voice was and I saw an beautiful lady with long blonde hair and clear gray eyes. " Penny... " I called out and reached out for her but my fingers went through her like she was transparent. " Remember when you tried to save me but you ended up drowning here instead... " She says breathlessly and I just looked at her then she smiled at me " You could've joined the hundreds of bodies here... ". " But Mother saved you so why resist sister...? " Penny soothes me as she rubs my chin " You could be just like me , purified and be the one who punishes those filthy liars ". " Yes...I want to be just like you Penny... " I say feeling very droopy like I was going to sleep. " Remember the bed stories our own Mother would read us....how Redrum would make the sky pink and appears in the rain , bringing pain and hell towards all of those who lied? " Penny tells me. I nodded and she smiles warmly at me " You'll be Redrum little sister , you'll finally join me and Mother , including all of the others who'll join us soon.. ". " Others...? " I questioned and Penny shushed me " You'll see soon sister...you'll see soon ". She offered me her hand " Will you join us sister...? " I reached for her hand but soon notice the black tendrils surrounding her entire being. The tendrils were reaching for me and I was suddenly scared for some reason. Then a bright light shined above me and I looked up , an orb of light was floating on top of the lake. The orb was speaking warmly and calmly whispering nothing important but I smiled. It was Daniels voice....and his voice...I reached up and soon I was floating towards the orb. " Come back sister...COME BACK HERE!! " I looked down and saw Penny trying to grab me with the black tendrils following. This time , her body was falling apart , all decomposed and I screamed. I was close to the orb and soon I touched it , everything turned bright and the last thing I heard was " You'll come back soon Redrum... " .

Kiwi wakes up gasping and sees Daniel sitting on the chair , Daniel smiled widely at her and then she sees who's sitting by him. " WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!?! " She exclaims angrily at the unexpected guest.
