Inside was their mum, in a once white bed, now pooled in red. A knife was stabbed deep in her throat.
'Mum!' Neela cried running to the bed sobbing.
'What happened?' I asked.
'Aleen! You must pay for Daedalus's crimes. Come out now!' a whispery low voice roared.
I shivered as a shadow loomed over the room and hid under the bed. Turning to Neela, who was still mourning, I silently gasped in surprised as she suddenly saw her so transparent that she seemed like a ghost. It was like someone was sucking out her soul. A dark aura surrounded my feet, freezing me on the spot. I squeezed my eyes shut hoping this would just be a dream. When she finally opened my eyes, I realised that I was alone in the house with my dead mother. Neela had disappeared!
'Daedalus, your debt is paid. I have finally killed your every last descendant.' He laughed wickedly.
