Chapter 5

Author: Eastern Dawn
"Where do you live?" I continued asking.

The housekeeper thought for a moment and said, "Just out the door and to the right. There are a lot of people at my place."

His house wasn't far from here, but it was unlikely that the housekeeper was anyone worthy of trust. He might be working with those two. But if there were a lot of people, surely not everyone could be like them, right?

As long as I could find someone and get my hands on a phone, I could then call the police, and it would all be over!

Even if those two weren't truly my parents, the police would have to do something about it because of the murder, right?

I wanted to ask more, but then, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed two tightly closed doors.

I really wanted to know what was inside, so I started to walk over. However, the housekeeper suddenly gave a wide grin and declared, "Your head is so pretty. I can't wait anymore. I'm going to take you now!"

He lunged at me, wrapping his hands around my neck, his slimy tong

  • Twisted Embrace   Chapter 9

    Fine…If this was how I die, maybe that was okay, too…"Lone Wolf has perfectly executed the mission." A voice crackled from the walkie-talkie.And just like that, my memory came flooding back.So I was Lone Wolf all along.I had come here on a mission… To catch a pair of deranged husband and wife, as well as the mastermind funding all of this.There used to be a couple whose daughter had gone blind. Heartbroken, they had devoted themselves to caring for her, hoping she would recover.But one day, the girl had died of a heart attack.After that, the couple had lost their minds. Whenever they saw a young blind woman, they would lure her home and force her to live as their daughter… Until eventually, they were sent to a psychiatric hospital.But their twisted behavior caught the eye of a wealthy madman who liked to toy with people. He secretly moved them to a remote island, hired doctors, and forced innocent young women into deep hypnosis so they would believe this couple was tr

    I fought the urge to grab his hands. Instead, I used my right hand to pull the knife from my pocket, slashing hard at the artery on his wrist!My movements were smooth and quick, almost like I had done this before. Reflexes like that made me question who I truly was.He screamed and let go, staring at his wounded hand, but he couldn't stop the bleeding no matter what he did.I wiped the blade clean. As expected of the knife the housekeeper had used for decapitating those young women. It was razor-sharp indeed.The man roared and charged at me again, but I stayed calm this time. I had already cut his artery, so he would bleed out soon.All I had to do was keep away from him so that he couldn't drag me down with him.Rain started pouring as he stumbled around the rooftop like a headless chicken, desperate to find me, but he was only losing blood faster.He quickly collapsed, the rain mixing with his blood until the whole rooftop smelled faintly of blood. Or maybe it was just the s

    I… I had killed someone.But all I felt was satisfaction… That was the thrill of revenge.Screams echoed from the courtyard, getting louder and louder. "Suzie! Suzie…!"I forced myself to stand up and pulled off my coat and shoes as they were both covered in blood. If I ran in them, I would be spotted instantly.I climbed out through the window. It was still just as barren outside, and if they looked over, they would spot me right away.A sense of helplessness swept over me.I gritted my teeth, determined to play hide-and-seek with them.I crouched by the wall for a while and saw someone pull back the curtains and poke their head out. Their breathing was loud and heavy, as if they were very angry. After a moment, they went back inside.What I needed to do now was to track their movements without giving away my location.I circled the house and found a ladder out back leading up to the roof. I climbed up.The ladder passed by a window with the curtains drawn. Just as I reached

    I turned to the right, and sure enough, there was a building. Just then, two angry shouts came from behind me, from my so-called home. My heart pounded as I hurried and jumped over the wall without care!The courtyard was completely silent. It didn't feel like there were "a lot of people" there.On the ground, I saw a familiar walkie-talkie, but I couldn't remember exactly what it was for.It was covered in mud, and I wasn't sure if it still worked.I picked it up and hid it in my pocket, quietly slipping into the house.Strangely enough, it was completely quiet inside.These two houses were built exactly the same way. I headed to the kitchen, grabbed a sharp knife, cut some wires, and reconnected the broken circuit inside the walkie-talkie. I could get it to work for just a moment.I pressed a few buttons at random, and, incredibly, I heard someone's voice. "Lone Wolf, do you copy? Lone Wolf, respond! I repeat, respond!"I replied calmly, "Who are you?"There was silence on

    The man slowly took the hammer from the woman and sealed the window shut as my heart pounded…Was I wrong about them?Had they already figured out that I could see again, so they had sealed the window to keep me from escaping? Was this their plan to kill me?I was shaking all over as the man came up to me with a grin and tossed the hammer on the floor. He cupped my face with those hands that he probably hadn't washed for a long time and said, "Good girl. I really hope you'll get your sight back soon. If you ever do, you have to tell me right away."His smile made the wrinkles on his face even more apparent, his greasy hair covering half his face, and there was something obviously off about him.My heart was racing, but I pretended to be a good girl and nodded. "Okay!"At the very least, it seemed like they didn't suspect I could see, which meant they hadn't checked the security camera.Or maybe… they just hadn't had the time to watch it yet.They left and closed the door behi
