SILENCE

CHAPTER 1 THE FUNERAL OF THE UNDEAD

"Don't be a chicken, now you'd better finish dressing up before I change my mind", I had no option but to do as she said because being on Cheryl's bad side would be the last thing anyone would want. I raised my hands, surrendering.

"All right, all right I'll do it", I signed.

Cheryl smiled proudly, and turned as she 'almost' left the room skipping. 

She took a complete 180 and looked at me with a sly smile. I took three steps back thinking oh no no no no, as Cheryl jumped on top of me and licked my ears, I pushed her hard as I could as she didn't weight much, or so I thought. We giggled like we did when we were younger.

"OH, DON'T YOU DARE!!!", Cheryl screamed at me.

We'll see about that now, my inner voice muttered. 

I carried her in my hands, bridal style, right at the moment my mom stormed into room screaming, "Hurry up!! We're getting late for Adam's funeral!", spoilsport, I thought. 

"Well that was fun, now out with you all", I signed and they went out muttering to themselves.

I stared at the gorgeous black dress, it was one of the most expensive dress I had ever seen. 

I glanced at the tag which was proof that no one had used the black beauty, yet.

I wanted to earn my own money and then buy all my stuff, in the current situation though I might have to lean on at my rich parents.

My dad owned one of the largest enterprises in the world which means that we are rich, filthy rich to be more precise. He owned "The Harrington Enterprises" and even a child would've heard the name.

My step mom was just another vixen that came out of the blue. She takes all the money, cheques, even the house, under her name Jocelyn Harrington. All I want is to be free with no problems behind me, whether in the past, present and I wanted no problems in the future. Well I tried to tell my mom that I wanted to go abroad for further studies. She didn't share my point of view though, why? because she said so as if that makes more sense than her existance.

I slipped into the gorgeous black beauty and put on light make up since I'm not a supporter of those things to make one look more fake than a china vase, and left the room.

Cheryl had accepted it long before since she knew that I will not waver my thoughts even for even a millisecond although she might have forced it on me by the help of three of my bodyguards. 

Right then, the doorbell rang, no one had answered it yet, it rang again, this time someone must have answered it because I could hear hushed voices. Cheryl and I  walked towards the door wondering who would come so early in the morning.

I opened the door with Cheryl right behind me, laughing at a joke that she made. I turned to check who rang the bell. 

The blood rushed out of my face, as I stared at the person in front of me.

I stared in disbelief as I rubbed my eyes, checking if it was a hallucination. Cheryl's mouth was at the floor, staring at the person who had just arrived.

My mom rushed to the door to see who it was, smiling and waving about to the servants. She glanced at the person still gesturing to the servants when she suddenly stopped and looked back at the person in front of the door. 

She was probably expecting a man in a suit or a woman in a dress, not a man in blood.

I could feel that I was staring a bit more than anyone would usually, but politeness can go to hell for now. I looked back at my mom as I watched the blood drain out of her face. I looked at him again and hoped that this was just another nightmare of mine or at least a hallucination.

I looked at his attire, he is not cut anywhere so how could there be blood? 

I formed the words in my lips," Adam?"
