Fifteen

You know that type of pain that makes your whole body numb? Well, that is exactly what I'm feeling right now as I stared at my mother on the floor.

I couldn't scream, I couldn't shout, I couldn't faint or run out. I could only fall on my knees beside her and hold her as I murmured

"Mummy, please come back"

I knew I couldn't do anything but to weep on the body as the memories from the evening started flashing through my mind which made me remembered what she said

"I wish your father could see you right now, he would be so proud"

But she's with him now. I stroked my trembling hand over her bloody neck which made me realize her necklace wasn't there which meant someone did this on purpose. I suddenly remembered mum wasn't the only one at home.

"If mum's here .........."

I quickly stood up and ran towards angel's room just to arrive there and stare in agony at the remnants of her butchered body in her bloody crib. I had to asked myself

"What kind of demented savage could have done this?"

Tears rushed faster and made my eyes hurt as they turned black, why didn't I join them to suffer instead of bearing all the pain. I tried to hold and kiss her but there wasn't a body to hold. I stood there until I finally remembered my little blond head

"BRITNEY"

I ran upstairs to look for her but I didn't have to because found her on her knees nailed to the floor along the corridor. That's when I lost it and screamed .

....................................................................................................................................................................................

I woke up on the ground with a huge bump on my head, it reminded me of the b***h that hit me and escaped. I had to stand up and staggered to the van at the end of the road because of the unbearable pain on my stomach.

The papers, files and the two necklaces which were meant to be 3 were safely hidden at the back of my truck but the third one was still with the girl. I started planning ahead on how to get the necklace and how to repay her for the bump on my head because I never forgive or forget. In the middle of my plan, I received a message from Thomas

I hope you didn't leave any tracks.

Thomas

I forget about that and now I hate to go back and clear my tracks. I started putting the matches and lighters in my bag but first, I had to make a call.

....................................................................................................................................................................................

I dropped on my knees after the scream and crawled towards her wailing before I hugged her and kissed her messy hair which reminded me of the time she came to my room scared about dad.

"Do you think everything will be alright Delly?"

"I know it will"

I started getting a headache as the memories passed bye, I should have said nobody knows. The only thing I could do was whisper

"I'm so sorry i left you pal"

Suddenly, the land line started ringing from the end of corridor. I slowly stood up and walked towards it as I asked numerous unanswered questions

"Who would have done this? Why would they do this and who in their right senses would be calling at this time??!"

Once I stood in front of it, I picked it up with my left hand that shook more than my right and answered it with a low, quiet trembling voice

"hhhhello?"

A deep, panting voice that sent shiver down my spine slowly replied the last two words I would have never expected

"You're. Next"

Then the line cut .
