Sephy had been invited to the graveyard to hang with the crew but she really didnt want to stay there and watch as Marcus and Maria lip-locked.

She couldnt stand their relationship, it was literally only LUST and now knowing that she had a better relationship option, specifically Saya she wanted them to break up stat.

It was definitely only because of Saya.

The girl had completely left King's Dominion to revistit her route back to her childhood home, she wanted to go there with backup so she decided to stay across the road behind the tree to look across at her old house.

Something was drawing her back there and she couldnt figure out why or what exactly it was but she knew she needed to find out more.

With the perfect oppurtunity sitting right in front of her she came to the conclusion that she was going to go back to school, collect her side kick and return to look for answers.

However when she entered the doors, the hallways seemed eerily bare and quiet, her footsteps literally being audible as she skeptically tiptoed towards the rows of door rooms.

She tried her own door handle and it seemed to be locked so she left it and proceeded towards Petra's room, a commotion happening within the walls.

She had little thought before using pure strength to smash the handle off of the door completely, then allowing her to fiddle with the lock and swing open the door.

"Youre coming with me" Sephy stated towards Petra who sat free of both Billy and Lexi, each of them in their underwear.

Petra snatched up her top and threw it over her head with a sigh,

"Thank god i was bored" She flicked the ends of her hair out of her shirt and didn't glance back towards where the flabbergasted boys sat.

"Good going, Persephone" Muttered Lex so she threw him the middle finger as she shut the door behind her back.

Sephy lead Petra through the hall staying clear of a commotion coming from the opposite room, it sounded like Marcus.

Sephy had to switch herself off so that she didnt run to his aid.

When the girls got free of the school through an open window Petra turned to Sephy and finally asked what they were doing.

Instead of speaking, first Sephy presented her gothic friend with a cut newspaper article.

"Young girl brutally slaughters whole family" Sephy repeated the headline "Father returns home from dog walk to find his entire family, bar his eldest daughter, murdered" Sephy carried on as she read the subheading before turning to Petra who read as she walked.

"Michael Gray, 42, comes home from walking his dog to the sounds of sirens. Neighbour calls police after hearing blood curdling cries from next door, unknowingly to them that the family's oldest daughter, Persephone Gray, a usually quiet and reserved girl according to friends, had brutally bludgeoned her siblings and mother in violent, hateful crime"

Petra cocked her eyebrow towards Sephy after looking at the young photo below the words typed WANTED.

"Okay ignore the photo" she giggled snatching the article, pushing it back into her pocket to stop Petra from laughing at her premature and chubby face "but heres the thing, it says my dad was out walking the dog but my flashbacks prove different"

The girls turned down the road and pressed themselves behind the tree across the road from the house.

"So what? Your father watched and to save your ass said that he wasnt there? Why didnt you kill him?" She asked the girl and Sephy could only shrug in response.

"I dont know, i dont understand any of it. The man in the papers is not a father looking out for his daughter. That bitchass aint pleading my innocence he said and i quote 'Persephone is a Pure evil charcter with psychotic tendencies and a thirst for murder'"

The pair danced across the road and towards the back entrance of the garden where Sephy used to sneak in and out of as a child.

She didnt even know whether her father even still lived in that house but she was just looking for something to trigger a flashback that didnt involve her murdering another innocent soul.

Once safely cover in the trees at the very bottom of the yard the girls were free to peep through the leaves towards the back window.

There was no movement in the house and everything seemed empty until there was rustle through the leaves.

Petra's eyes widened and she looked towards Sephy in fright bracing herself for whoever had spotted them.

To their relief the stalker wasnt the house owner at all.

"Almond! Whos a good boy"

Sephy laid out in the leaves as her large dog pounced upon her chest and pinned her down as he licked her face from top to bottom. She scratched behind his ears muttering,

"Ive missed you, old pal" as the excitable thing wagged its tail violently.

"Almond!" called a voice from the house and the girls worriedly snapped their heads towards where Michael Gray stood holding onto the door frame, he whistled but Almond didnt want to leave his best friend even when Sephy begged for him to go.

"Persephone we need to leave" Petra hissed through the leaves as her father started to advance towards the shrubbery at the end of the lawn calling out the old dog.

But Sephy didnt budge because her eyes had fixed upon what her father looked like now.

He looked tired and worn down, he was bald and had large black eyebags as if he hadnt slept, his stature was slouched and he looked painfully thin.

He wasnt who Persephone remembered at all.

He wasnt her dad.

Suddenly her T-shirt was brought up and out of the bush by a fist, the man who she shared half her genes with stood with a furious expression.

"Persephone" his voice trembled and it made him look weaker than he already did.

Petra stood from the leaves, her shirt getting caught in the branches making an obnoxious rustle causing Michael to snap his head towards the girl, his face red with anger.

"How long have you been in there? Have you been stalking me?" Those two questions were repeated over and over again by Sephy's father like he was a broken record. Each time he sounded more frantic and more twitchy.

"I know you were there when they died" Persephone whispered to her father who began to violently shake, his head and neck snapping in inhumane ways.

The girls took one glance at each other and knew instantly that something was wrong, their senses heightened when he began to flail his arms around Sephy, clamping her mouth shut from behind.

Petra tried to stand forward to help the girl but Michael produced a knife and pointed it, first in her direction, and then towards his own daughters neck.

"I knew I couldn't trust him and his bitchass daughter" Michael mumbled sneering at Sephy's flinch.

"Em?" She croaked, closing her eyes to stop the oncoming black out. Petra wanted to help but she daren't take a step forward in case the knife slit her throat "you tried to have me killed?"

Everything was slowly closing in on Sephy as the jigsaw puzzle started to slot together, the reasoning behind everything gradually becoming the full photo.

"You can't tell anyone, Persephone. You can't go to the police. You can't. You can't. They can't know you didn't-"

Sephy wanted to ask further questions but she was slowly starting to blacken, her vision hazing and her legs becoming weak.

Her father had ordered someone to kill her, no wonder she recognised his face as he entered her room all those years back.

As her head started to cloud with questions she blacked out only for a second as her father let her drop and sprinted back into the house.

"Persephone" Petra gasped falling her way to catch her before she crumpled "lets leave" she said before flashing the back door one final look.
