章節 13: Chapter 12
Misery person ~~~
“You should have seen the look on their faces when the accident transpired. It was worth all the trouble.” I said to her with a vicious smirk plastered on my face. “All pompous and pretty looking Eva was as pale as a walking dead. The look on her face was priceless, too bad you didn't get to witness it.” I kept chattering out of contempt.
“At least you had the honor of seeing it which still makes it worthwhile.” She said deep in reflection with a faint smile.
“I still don't know how you pulled it off without my help.” I look at her with curiosity.
Misery person 2~~~
Assessing the tone in his voice, I knew my plan came off flawlessly. He had yearned to go to Britney's house and cause flattened her tyre, but I insisted on going on my own.
“You are closer to the rest of the which makes you more accessible to their lockers, I think it's best if you deliver the envelopes to them” I had notified him on the day of the accident. He took the envelopes, and I made my way to Britney's house.
~flashback ~
I watched from a distance as Britney hopped into her car and drove off.” I grinned mischievously., “poor thing, if only she knew what was installed for her.” I thought to myself without a lace of remorse. The envelopes should be exactly where they are supposed to be right now. How I would kill to see the look on their faces when they opened the envelopes and receive news about the accident.
A week later ~~~
Scarlet POV
It's been a week since the Britney's accident and the envelope incident and there have not prevailed any more surprises from the mysterious person. We still couldn't find out who sent the letters to each of us, but we knew it had something to do with Heather. I don't know about the others, but I am still on edge. I get scared with the least commotion that happens around me.
“Hey, I'm going out for some groceries” my mom came into my room and announced. I was reading a novel online in my room on my bed when she entered.
“Lock the door behind you, I don't think I would be going out anytime soon” I told her.
She looked at me for a while as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't and just nodded.
“ Don't forget my Pringles mom”
I yelled after her just before she slummed my door behind her” I giggled just thinking about the Pringles. Selena and I finished the last box two days ago when she slept over at my place, and I really needed to get some for my late night reading snacks.
I continued with the story from where I left off. A few pages into my reading, I heard what sounded like footsteps coming from the kitchen, I raised my head from my iPad “hm...” I arched a brow and shook my head, and I continued with my reading assuming it was mom, and maybe she left something and came back to fetch it.
“ His right behind you dumbass” I said, getting more engrossed in the story.
I heard the noise again and my pulse ramped up. I set aside my iPad, straining to hear more but my heart was pounding too loud for me to hear anything else. I hopped of the bed and made my way downstairs slowly. My heart beating fast as I made my way down the stairs.
“Hello”
“Mom??”
“Hello, who is down there?” I shouted with my voice chiming back to me for the third time without any response. I could still hear sounds coming from downstairs. I bit my lip, every nerve in my body ignited with fear as I climbed down the stairs steadily. I crept into the kitchen, and it was empty... yet my heart wouldn't settle. Something wasn't right here. I looked around a few more times and still nothing. “Maybe I'm just imagining, with all the envelope and letters I received not forgetting Britney's accident, I mean everything freaks me out. And besides its Broad daylight, who could possibly come in and hurt me.
“Its nothing,” I told myself, I'm imagining things! Just when I took a step forward, the back door which connects to the kitchen made a sound, and I froze, all my breath trapped. I was definitely not alone. Someone was in the house. I could feel eyes on me. Weapon, my mind screamed. I need a weapon! I darted towards the gray wide granite counter and luckily for me, the knife I used for my breakfast was still on the kitchen counter. I have never been more grateful for my procrastinate attitude. I slide my fingers around the rubber grip, appalled by how much my hands shook.
That was when I saw in the window over the sink, a reflection. It stood for a few seconds and started making its way towards me. The minute the door was pushed open, I whipped around, a cry breaking from my lip. A hand gripped both my hands stopping me before I could even strike.
“It's me!!” I opened my eyes in shock seeing the person standing in front of me. Eva looked horrified standing there. My breath whooshed out. “What are you doing here!? And how did you get in!?” I asked nonstop still terrified. My heart was still beating from all this ruckus.
“I knocked on your front door several times and there was no response, so I figured I could use the back door and fortunately for me, it was unlocked. I invited myself in and called you again and still no response. Just when I was about to exit, I heard your voice loudly, not sure what you were saying though and the rest of the story, well you know how it goes”. She ended with an exaggerated sigh. She had an urgent look on her face like she was terrified of something.
I just stood there staring at her with a confused look. Why would she come to my place? The last time she was here was about four years ago which it didn't end quite well and that was the last time she was at my place, well except for today.
She looked down at my hand still terrified, and I realized the knife was still in my hands.
“Oh, sorry.” I placed the knife back in the counter and walked to the refrigerator.
“Juice, water??” I asked while staring straight at her and my hands keeping the refrigerator open.
“Water will do” she replied with a nervous smile.
“So why are you here?” I asked when we entered the living room.
“ I received another letter,” she said slowly and took out a note from her bag.
The ramping of my heart started again as I took the note from her with my eyes fixed on it. I opened it slowly and the words made my heart jump.
“GUESS WHO IS NEXT?” HE-HE.
LOVE,
HEATHER.
My hands were shaking as I kept reading the words repeatedly.
