A crash comes bellowing through the house which sounds like a metal barrel being pushed down a steep, shale-covered cliff.

I shoot up in bed as a small gasp escapes my brittle lips. I jump out of bed and run to the bathroom where it seems that is where the sound came from. I shove the door open and discover Rosa's body limp in the bathtub, almost fully submerged in water that has been tainted with her rich blood.

I kneel beside the porcelain tub and stare into her deep eyes; they intimidate me, even though they are currently lifeless. A splash of the bloody water frightens me but a wet, wrinkled hand latches over my throat and Rosa's face turns towards me.

"Stay away from her!" Rosa exclaims, spitting blood at my terrifies face with every word.

"Her?!"

"EVELYN! I know you saw her the other day, I know EVERYTHING!" she spits again, this time tightening her grip around my trachea.

I drop to the floor and my vision blurs, then changes into complete darkness.
