FIRST SLAUGHTER

Lyn pinned herself down the floor, hugging her body beneath her thighs with a tremble. Her throat and eyes got dried the moment she screamed out and saw the scary bodies Infront of her. The heart beat she was feeling few minutes ago had decreased but the pressure of her blood could be heard from her heart being pumped on high amount. She kicked her stomach hardly whilst Alex and Linet bangs in. Luca who was asleep, jerked immediately following her sister's voice and behind him were Drew and Andy who were walking silently like the dark shadows without uttering a word to each other.

' What....the....heck.....is....Alex couldn't finish his words slamming on the floor where Lyn was. Linet froze immediately she saw how Mr Sun Han's body has been slashed into three pieces his wife lying naked on the bed. Her neck was on the other side as blood stains all over the bed. It seemed that the slaughter hasn't taken even an hour cause the blood was still fresh according on how their eyes were telling them.'

' Paaaaa, ahhh! Paaaaa, Maaaa! Luca called immediately he dashed inside. His eyes froze as he puke out due to the uneasyness and the way their body has been dispersed. He took more steps closer to them not bothering the situation trying to touch their bodies but his hands halted due to lack of strength in him. He sat down tears in his eyes refusing to fall his mouth mourning in silence.

' Isn't this enough evidence to call for the police, huh? Lyn suddenly asked clearing the silence in the room.'

' It is, but it isn't convincing at all and.....

' What! Are you even hearing yourself Alex, how is it not convincing?' she interjected letting the tears that she has been struggling with to fall freely down.'

' Even if you shout Lyn, there's nothing gonna change. The water has been split and can't be reversed.' Alex convinced but still Lyn couldn't help to understand his words.'

' They are my parents Alex, can't l do anything to seek for their peace. They were the only people that l could depend on even if my father had retired, he was always their when l needed him the most. Speak of my mother, she was the only woman who cared and understood me. Now you mean l should just assume that everything's alright, huh, isn't that what you're suggesting. Me sitting here and doing nothing cause the police won't help me? They'll need some money for them so th...

' Because police can't hunt a ghost. It is impossible even if we report the case, we still don't have the witness and even know any clue about the killer. We cannot report this cause the case will be turned against us, will have to go to jail all of us until the killer reveals himself, can't you see that.' Alex cut her anger almost taking over him. He stood and run his hands through his dry hair trying to calm himself down as Linet squeeze alittle towards Lyn. She caressed her back to release her pain until Drew broke the silence.

' I know who is the killer. I know her and even why she wrote those words on the wall.' he said whilst everyone turns their attention towards his trembling body.

' She's Alah. But people used to call her Aladin before she died.'

' Huh! Died? Alah! Then why is she hunting us? For what purpose? Lyn asked as Andy hops in.'

' Because one of you might be having her precious thing or you had awakened her soul before the right time. The words that she had written means her first slaughter is done.

' How do you know all about this, who are you? Alex asked moving to where they were standing.'

' It is a long story that we both heard from our parents. Though we are not brothers, but our parents knew everything about Alah and how she died. I once heard my dad saying that Alah's death was a mystery to everybody but one thing l know, she died before her soul could accept her fate. I mean she died unwillingly.' Andy explained as they listened carefully.'

' And what about the mirror. Why did l found it in my room and it always make some weird sounds like hell, as if someone is inside the mirror.' Lyn muttered.'

' About the mirror l gause am clueless. Maybe we should look for Mr Tan Woo and ask him.' He said supporting his body on the wall.'

' Who's Tan Woo? This time it was Linet's voice that echoed.'

' Huh! You don't know him. His the owner of all this houses around here, l gause he knows something much bigger than we can think off, he lives in the next street.'

' Jeez! I can't believe this kind of evil do exists. You mean this Alar or wherever the name is, she'll slaughter all of us? Without having mercy on us? Luca asked though with a small hiccups that was escaping from his mouth.'

' Don't say that. Come on, l think you need to have your medicine before you start getting sick. Go get them.'

' Lyn, ooow! I can't go in my room alone, maybe that slaughterer is waiting for me in there, am not going.'

' Ghosh! What a pity cat you are, come here I'll.....

A strong scream was heard downstairs which got them offguard. Instead of rushing outside, Andy locked the door instantly freezing from his spot. No one spoke for a minute, as the voice again echoes, it felt like the person screaming was coming towards where they were hiding. When out of the blue, a loud bang slammed on the door pushing it to open but Alex quickly grabbed a small wire that was ontop of the wardrobe tying the door with it. Drew and Andy were helping him while on the other side, Linet and Lyn had pinned themselves in a corner Luca standing where he was, not even an inch movement was heard from him.

Everywhere went silent again as if the person who has been banging the door had given up. While their minds were still predicamenting at the sound and what move they should take next, Alex turned slowly but when his eyes landed on Luca, he almost jumped backwards but his hands pawn on him as first as he could. A white figure was standing at the back of Luca's body but inside the mirror that was in Lyn's room. A hand stretched slowly towards him and within seconds, Luca's body was dragged inside the silent mirror along with Alex's hand.
