Murder... A word that many people despised. It brought not only loss but stands for death. One of the many things that scares humans; as their was really no way to control it... One of the many things that changed her life forever.
"Please don't leave me." Veronica pleaded glancing down at her limp mother.
Her blood went around them, staining the hardwood floor.
This all my fault... If only I had locked the door that night. Veronica thought not helping the sob that escaped her lips.
The intruders words rang through her head, over and over again; like a broken record.
"This is all your fault." Her father spit. Breaking anything in his path. That day the old him was gone, never to return.
The nightmare of this day would haunt Veronica in her sleep; as her life was never the same.
Life was unfair, the world is a horrible place. It was like everything came crashing down at one moment. The only person she had left after that was her best friend... They slowly grew apart as he didn't know what went on behind the doors of her house.
Years passed, as the day still made her life worse. Not having the money to move she was still stuck in the same house... By the same river.
Soon another murder happened, the same way as... Her mother's. Suspicions spread through the small town, their closest neighbor a mile away was now dead. Not many people lived there.
A twenty minute ride to town. She would live in town to if she had the money. That day when the detective came to the door; it was just fate. As she didn't know it then... But, he would save her. It... Was just something about the way he looked Veronica; that made her heart go a mile a minute.
