CHAPTER FORTY-ONE
SIX FEET DEEP [PART ONE]
May 20, 2021
GABBY
Maddy's blood is getting closer and closer to my skin, and I can feel the sorrow rising in my chest as I stare at her with wide-open eyes. Everything happened so quickly, and my tears weren't stopping. At first, I believed Santi had fired his gun at me, but when he moved his palm across Maddy, I felt my strength dwindle ultimately.
She was shot in the stomach. I couldn't stare at her any longer, but I also didn't want to avert her gaze. Maddy vomits blood while she lies unmoving a few steps away from me. When she gave me a faint smile, I shook my head in despair. I don't want her to do that to me; she can't just say goodbye after all these years of not seeing her. I can't just say goodbye to her now, not in this state.

THE CONTINUATION... "Julius, you friggin' traitor!" When we came upon a wounded cop with blood splattered on his thigh, Santi ordered me to pull over with a gritted-teeth grumble. "Santi! Help!" Cried by the man on the ground. "I'm coming back for you! I simply need to—" He didn't get a chance to finish his sentence when I hit him in the jaw, causing him to collapse against the car door as he accidentallyrelinquished the gun, which fell to the floor. For a split second, I considered grabbing the gun lying on the floor in front of his feet while he's dizzy. But I was hesitating and thought that it would just be a trip to hell, so I opened the car door and tripped on the mud, but I quickly dragged myself to my feet a

THE MADE-UP LIES [PART ONE] MAY 20, 2021 JACKIE We were urged to sit here in the living room by Santi after he yelled at us not to leave, and it was also the time two guys in police uniform knocked on the door. They instantly became familiar to me. They are one of Santi’s friends from last night. Lizzie and Gabby are in Zack's room; his breathing surprisingly returns to normal after he passes out. When the two cops arrived, Lizzie stopped, begging Santi to let us take Gabby to the hospital. We were all quite concerned about Gabby's condition, and I was afraid we would lose him. Fortunately, he is fine, but he still has a fever, so Lizzie is with him to care for him. It was still a mystery to me what happened to Gabby and Santi; they were together, and we had no idea where they went. And when t

THE CONTINUATION...Zack took a step forward toward Santi, saying, "Do you know how Debbie constantly abused me when I was a kid?Debbie, who was sitting on the bed with Chloe next to her, scoffed in disdain."She's your grandmother!" Santi yelled like an older man demanding respect in return."Yet she didn't act like one!""Zackary! I'm just trying to keep myself under control right now. Don't test my patience!" I noticed Santi's fist clenched in rage, and his lips curled in contempt."Stop accusing me of abusing you. You're a scoundrel; I just did it because I want to remove the horns from your head! Zackary, you were such a stubborn child. There was

The Letter; the beginning of a nightmareSeptember 29, 2003Dearest brother,I'm not sure if you'll ever find or read this letter. But I sincerely hope you do. This is a letter in which I apologize for any lies I told you that caused you considerable damage.I'm sorry for not wanting to go with you when you asked me to escape with you that night. You yelled and screamed at me, telling me what a moron I was for still wanting to stay with our mother despite the fact that I saw her murder our father with my own two eyes…I know you didn't believe me when my mom and I told you it was all self-defense when our father accused mum of stuff and assaulted her. But I still let you believe it happened, and I really regret it.Nonetheless, I believe you deserve to hear the truth fro

The Letter: The devil"Don't be upset with the young lady, sweetheart." Santi softly let go of mom's hand. While I stood there perplexed, my gaze was drawn to them one by one.Mom gritted her teeth and pointed at me. "Talk to me that way again or I'll cut your tongue off!" Mom growled.Her words made me quiver and shake, but when she left the living room, Santi grinned at me. It wasn't a sincere and comfortable smile; there was something odd about it that I couldn't put my finger on at the moment. When he quietly went out of the room, I was left with the boy I had seen peering through the window the day our father died. I scrunched my brow in curiosity, but he simply bowed down and rushed across the kitchen as if he lived here.I didn't expect you to return home as the darkness fell. Sam, I'd

The Letter: Lie in the water's depths. [PART ONE]As soon as you told me your intention to leave the house, I was ecstatic. When I experienced that reaction, it was as if my blood came to life and raced through my veins for the first time in a long time. Neither was it out of disinterest in seeing you again. Because I am proud of you, that is. After all, you took a risk and made the right choice. Because I know Santi doesn't want you in the house, and I'm afraid he’ll kill you if you stay too long.But, before you left, you begged me to come withyou. My heart shattered as I realized I couldn't go with you. West Lake—no, the lake house—kept my body and spirit entwined with every aspect of it. Because the agony and terror lingered in me, after Santi gained control of the entire house, I experienced the worst sensation—numbness. I don't feel anything

THE CONTINUATION..."I need her."His words accelerated the pace of my heartbeat. It grew so bad that I could hear my pulse racing through my ears. As I hollered at Santi, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up as if something were blocking my airway.Every time he took a step forward, my body was trying so hard to crawl backward as if it had its own mind. My back was suffering from the fall, which was why I couldn't stand up and ran away."N-no... please don't," I cried. I sobbed in desperation, pleading with Santi not to harm me.But his lips were smeared with a wicked grin. When he crouched down and approached me, he encircled me in his arms like if I were a bird without wings. I kept pleading wit

NO MORE TURNING BACK"Jackie." After hearing Zack's voice from behind their closed door, Jackie gasps and jolts back to reality.She doesn't realize she's crying until her tears fall and soak the piece of paper she's holding. She closed her eyes and tried her best not to tremble while placing the two papers of letters back in the white envelope."Breath, Jackie, breathe..." Jackie repeated to herself, hoping to quiet the pounding in her chest as she leaned against the wall for a few seconds before grabbing the books she put down on the floor.She slid the books back onto the shelf, but she never gripped the two folded letters inside the envelope."Jackie..." Zack called her again, but this time, she was accompanied by knocking. Jackie sighed deeply and smoothed her wrinkled blouse.
