That day was so much okay and fun, I went to a party at new bersky town where my bestie live. It's fine I mean, it's just a normal day, not until I got home and witnessed a horrifying scene where my parents are lying on the ground, blood everywhere and there is this man sucking there blood. I was shocked and scared that I almost fall in the ground and cry but I realized I don't have time for that. I got an eye contact with that man and I assure you it was not just a man, it has red eyes and its fangs are big and revealed, his mouth was full of blood and he was acting like a wild beast. When I figured out that he's ready to suck my blood too, I didn't wait for him to stand up and just run as fast as I could, and get help to whomever will help me. Luckily I survived in that day, I was able to find a shelter for me to get help but no one believes me. I know it's unbelievable and I couldn't blame them, but it's the truth. I defended myself on the court but still no one believes me.

I ended up being prisoned for 7 years since there wasnt any evidence that I really killed them, but the fact that I was drunk and spread some unbelievable stories of how my parents died got me into prison, how shallow it is. but I just couldn't understand why they prisoned me I was just drunk and what I told them was the truth, then why I become the suspect?

If I get out of this prison, I 'll do what I can to find justice for my parents brutal death and clear my name and make sure that that person will be punished not just by law but also in heaven.

Tomorrow Is the d day where I can finally get out of this hell. Though I did have good time here inside this cell because people here are so friendly but I don't want to comeback.

'I'll miss you amelia' suzy said and hug me while I was packing my things.

'I envy you, you can finally get out and shop and eat delicious food and meet your family and friends.... ' fenny excitedly said. Meet my family huh? My parents are already dead and I don't think my relatives will be happy to see me freed, for they also suspect me and blamed me from my parents death. It's just excruciating knowing that your own family don't trust you and the number one person who suspected you. But what I was sad about is my brother, since my parents died and I got prisoned I didn't see him since then, he never visited me, I mean no one visits me aside from my bestie. I was worried that he's mad at me, well I know he hold so much grudge on me but were family right? I mean could he just trust me?

My cell mates noticed my silence.

'I'm sorry Amelia for saying that' fenny abruptly said. Finally I got back to my senses ' no it's okay, I just you know a lot to think about' I said and laughed slightly. The atmosphere becomes awkward and I don't feel comfortable to it so I break the silent. 'Don't worry, you only have a year here, and when you are free, let's hang out okay? ' I said cheerfully. I said it not just to break the silence but I also mean it. And it looks like they liked the idea and they love it.

'Sure, why not. Let's go eat to restaurants and have picnic, that would be great' fenny said. Fenny likes to eat, so everytime we mention about the outside world she always talks about food she ate before she got prisoned and the food she likes, and all the food she thinks was great.

But since were in this cell, covered by 4 walls and a small window and 1 door with iron bars, a person like fenny would be a great person to be with, somehow she could change this gloomy room into a brighter one, but sometimes i just think shes annoying and keeps on bragging about it, but I kinda used to it.

Morning finally come,

'Hey, don't forget about us' Suzy said and hugged me.

'I wont' I said, of course I couldn't forget them, they were the one's who comforted me when i was in the midst of loneliness. They don't seem like a badass woman,

Suzy who's beauty is above the universe, she is like a girl that every man adores, she's the ideal type. she don't seem like a woman who killed her boyfriend. And frenny? She's too innocent to be prisoned, she likes fancy things, she looks like a rich person and she dont seem like a woman who steal the money of her owners convenience store just to buy food in that store. And I? Don't even ask, how can a young girl like me killed my own parents? I'm not in drugs!

'Do, whatever you have to do, you've planned that for 5 years and this is the day to start what you've planned for, find justice, clear your name and get back to your family' fenny said and hugged me too. Yahh, this is the day to make a move, whatever it takes I'll find that man who killed my parents, whoever and whatever it is, I'll make sure that they will pay for what they just did to my family and for ruining my life.

Finally, I said my goodbye to them.

As I get out of the cell, I suddenly felt mixed emotions. I was finally free but why do I felt uneasy on my heart?

I saw Cristina my bestie standing beside her car waiting for me outside the prison. Ohh, I am really lucky to have her and I don't want to lose her.

Christina runs towards me and hugged me really tight that almost choked me. 'Okay okay you can let go now' I said, and good thing she let go immediately she might did realize that she's already killing me. 'Oh, sorry' she said and showed me her gummy smile. Ohh I miss this feeling, where people smiles at you genuinely, people who trusted you and people still loves you.

'Your hungry? ' Cristina asked me.

'Yah, but I don't have money' I said and showed her my puppy eyes.

'Okay, since I'd missed you so much, let me treat you' I jumped with excitement when she said that. I'm happy, finally I could eat delicious food again, I missed how chicken taste, I miss the taste of beer and coffee, the pizza that I was once dislike now I feel like eating it.

'Ohh look how happy you are' she said and we began to take our journey towards our favorite restaurant.

While Cristina is driving, I couldn't stop being shocked and impressed on how the street changed, how the buildings were improved and renovated. Just wow. In just 5 years things changed, a lot happened must have happened. There are big screens wherever you look, people are everywhere, the crowd is so busy.

'Wow, look how big the changes was' I suddenly uttered.

'Yeah right?, when you were in prison, a lot of structures, buildings and streets were renovated. ' she said and silence once again ruled the journey.

Finally we arrived safely. We enter the restaurant and dined in. I was a bit shy, this restaurant was used to be the cheapest but most delicious restaurant in the food industry. but now, look how improved and advanced this restaurant is, it's like I am in a fancy restaurant. The eerie is so amazing and so calm, I like it.

'What are you doing? It's not like it's your first time to be here' Cristina said, and raised her hand to call the waiter standing right in the corner and I just smiled.

We ordered the food that we usually ate, and tell you, its still good the taste didnt change. Suddenly i thought about fenny, i'll bring her here soon. I said to myself.

'So, what will you do now?' Cristina asked me. I couldnt tell cristina about my plans of revenge and justice, i dont want her to be part of this. I dont want to lose her. 'Ahh, find a part time job?' I said, i need to earn some living first, ofcourse.

'Where will you live?, sleep?'

'I'll figure it out. Dont worry, i have lot of connections.' That true, suzy offer me help. She told me that I can stay in her condominium for a meantime. I really am lucky to have her.

'You can stay at my home' she offers. Ohhh, I could see the worries in her eyes and it just melt my heart. I really love her.

'You know that I can't. Since that accident your parents started to suspect me, they even wanted you to stay away from me.' Since the accident of my parent brutal death her parents started to dislike me, and keep distance to me. They even told Cristina to stay away from me, hah, it's not like I have a contagious disease. She secretly visit me and gave me food to eat in prison.

'They can change, its been 5 years can they just forget about it and besides you are not a murder'

'Its okay, my cellmate suzy offers me some help already ' I said and She just nod.

I am really sorry for Christina, she is my best friend, and I was supposed to be honest with her, but I just couldn't tell her. I don't want her to risk her life just to help me.

We finished our meal and walked out the restaurant. Christina paid the bill since I don't have any money, but I do have savings money from my parents insurance but I don't have it. poor me.

'so where is your location madam? ' Christina said with a British accent. I just laughed and told her the address that suzy gave me, and thank God it's not that far, cuz I really need to take a good nap in a soft and fluffy bed.

when we arrived, Christina checked the condo first, making sure that there wouldnt be a problem here.

after roaming around the place,

'Okay we're good, I'll come by tomorrow, sleep tight okay? don't forget to dream about me' she said and went out the dorm. I just found myself smiling I must be out of my mind.

But when i realized that i still have a lot of things to do and to think about, my smile suddenly disappear. this is the beggining of my new life, seeking justice and take my revenge to the person who's responsible to my parents death. I'll surely catch you and kill you if I have to. Then I just fall asleep.

'Wake up you sleepy head! ' Cristina shouted and kicked me out of bed. Thats when I realized people really do change.

'Oww... '

'Where did you learn that? ' I said referring to the kick.

' I Just know, I didnt know I can actually do a kick, let me try it again' she confidently said and tried to kick me again but I stood up immediately to avoid it, I don't want to be kicked again, it hurts.

Now, I realize I didn't get to see the whole place last night, I'm too tired to roam around. Though it's just a condo, small place.

Suzy's condo still has her things, the sofa, the bed, even the fridge, all her clothes are still there, the tv, all of them are filled with dust. I'm thankful for suzy, somehow my problems were lessened.

I stared at cristina who's starting to clean the place, and I also started removing the dust in every corner of the house, and we are both busy making the house squeaky clean.

Hours passed, we finally finished cleaning. I could see the Sweat on Cristina's shirt. Now we're sitting in the sofa facing the fan and took a rest. I never done this for the passed 5 years, and I tell you, I got tired easily compared to the last time I cleaned our house.

'So, did you find any job?' Cristina asked

'Oh yeah, I'm planning to search it online, so can I barrow your phone? ' I asked shyly. what can I do? I don't have have anything, not even a Penny to buy a phone.

'Here, don't worry I got you a phone. This is my old phone but it still work, somehow.' I hugged cristina to show how thankful I am. I wish I could repay her kindness.

I started searching for jobs on the internet. Critstina stood up and prepared food.

I thought it would be easy searching for a job, but its harder than I thought.

As Was scrolling on the job sites, I saw a poster 'wanted waitress? ' I clicked on the site and it's a pub 'MH pub (My Honey Pub), not really far from here, so that's a good point, I don't need to pay for transportation. So, I applied.

I got a message immediately from the said pub. And they asked me to come by tomorrow for an interview.

'Wow, your face tells me you got an interview, don't you? ' Cristina said and I smiled widely as I could. She could tell.

'Where was it? ' Cristina asked while she's putting the jam on the bread.

'MH pub.' I said and turned my attention to the phone again. I didn't hear her reply, but since I'm busy searching for job, I didn't mind.

I applied 3 jobs to be sure, If I didn't get pick in the pub, that's okay since I still have 2 pending jobs, if I got lucky.

'Have you heard about my brother? ' I suddenly asked. Cristina look at me with a sorry face, even if she don't tell me, by just looking in her face tells me everything.

'I'm sorry' she said, I smile and just nod. Where are you Jacob?

The whole day cristina and I were both busy in the house. We went out to buy some groceries, clothes and other things I needed personally, she even bought me skin care. Now were at home arranging the things we just bought. 'Hey, make sure you use that skin care. Look at your face? It's dry and ugh wrinkles everywhere' she said with disgust.

' are you insulting me? ' I asked

'No, it's a fact' she said. Yeah it's an insult. She's really my bestfriend, no doubt about it.

After all we've done today, finally morning comes.

I woke up early, ate my breakfast early and bath early. I am a bit nervous while I'm getting ready for the job interview at MH pub. I wore the yellow dress that Cristina bought for me yesterday, put on little make up and ta-da! I'm ready. Maybe not. 'Oh, it's quarter to 10, I should go' I mumbled and went outside.

15 minutes of ride, now I'm standing infront of the pub. From here, I could see how big but not too big the pub is. The structure is old but fashionable, but it's weird. It's far from the neighborhood. How could they get costumers in this isolated place?

I shrugged and went inside, and for my curiousity I was shocked. A lot of customers were dined in. But as much as I remember there are no cars outside. I Shook my head. 'They rode a taxi, yeah that's it. Taxi just like what I did' I mumbled.

'Excuse me, dine in? ' one of the waiter asked me.

'Ah, no I'm here for the job interview? ' I said

'Oh yeah, this way please' he said and smiled. His handsome, the dimples suit him but he's not my type.

We entered in a small and cozy room, in the middle there's an empty table, office table to be exact. There's nothing else except for the table and 2 chairs, one for the table and one for guest, I guess.

'Please stay here' he said and slammed the door behind me. I sat on the chair and waited whomever will enter the room.

Not too long, a man in a black suit entered the room with an expressionless face. He has dark eyes, thick and perfect eyebrow and thin lips, in short he's handsome and girls ideal type. But his aura, his presence is so heavy and dark and it makes me shiver with fear. He sat on the chair facing me and open the black folder that he was carrying when he entered the room.

'Amelia hundson? ' he asked without looking at me

'Yes' I said formally, though I am nervous, I should be confident and try to pull this off.

'Okay, you can start tomorrow' he said and close the black folder.

'Wh-- what? Aren't you going to look and read my resume? ' I asked. Whats the point of having an interview?

'Forget it' he said and opened his laptop.

' okay, he-- here, you should atleast take my resume' I said and put my resume in his table

'No, need I already have your information'

'What? You have my information? ' I asked

'Yeah, like you being an ex convict. ' he said.

I felt fire rising in my veins.

'You'd run a background check on me, without my consent? It's against the law!' I said with anger. How could he?

'Huh, law my foot. Just be thankful that I am letting you work here despite of you being an ex convict' finally I met his eyes. He looked at me with no expression and no emotion. He's a cold hearted asshole.

I was speechless. He's right, with my background no one will just hire me like they do.

He smiles at me, an expressionless smile.

'You can go, you're in the night shift' he said and turned his attention again to his computer.

I spun on my heels and get out the pub with an irritated and annoyed face. That jerk, he's lucky that I dont have any choice, cuz if I do, I'll definetly won't work here' tsk.

I looked at the pub one last time before I call a taxi.

This is really a weird pub.

After the interview i decided to visit suzy and fenny on the prison.

'Amelia!!! Fenny shouted

'Hi!' I said.

'Ohh, i miss you, i wanted to hug you but this stupid glass is the problem' fenny said and flinched the glass between us.

'So how's the outside world?' Suzy asked

'Completely different, by the way, thank you for the condo, it helped me a lot'

'Ahh, i forg--' suzy stopped as fenny interrupted her

'We thought you already forget about us'

'Of course not, I'm just busy finding a job' i said

'You got one?' Suzy asked

'Yeah' I shrugged.

'That's good, i mean its difficult to find a job specially when your an ex convict' suzy glared at fenny telling her to stop and shut up.

'You're right, i got lucky'.

'Luck dont last' suzy warned me.

And i nod. We just talk and talk like what we used to but not too long. The officer in charge signaled fenny and suzy that it's over.

'Ugh, come on! Just one more minute?' Fenny begged on the policewoman.

'No' she strictly said.

' bye Amelia, visit us again sometimes' suzy said and stood up.

'Bye' fenny said with a sad face.

I went home after that.

I changed my clothes to my pajamas and eat my lunch feat dinner.

I wonder why they hired me?, I'm an ex convict but despite that I was able to finish my college before I got prisoned, Maybe I just got lucky.

Nevermind, I should just be thankful to them on hiring me instead of suspecting them.

There's not much things happened yesterday , I got an interview at MH pub and ended up being hired immediately, met some handsome guys and I was able to visit my friends on prison. That's all. But now, I got a feeling that this day will be different. Since my shift is in the evening, I decided to spend my day visiting our old house. This will be my first step of finding justice on my parents death. Though i am not sure if I will be able do it but I should overcome my fears. So I'll gather all my courage and pull this off the hook.

I told Cristina about my plan on visiting our old house.

'Are you sure about that?' She sincerely asked

'No, but i'll try'

'Why? there's nothing there. After you got prisoned your place were emptied. So why bother to visit there, you'll just end up remebering that incident. will you be okay with that?' She nags.

'That's why I called you because i want you to come along with me to lessen my fears. Please? I just wanted to visit that's all.' I said. I couldnt tell Cristina the truth behind my visitation.

'Ugh, you rascal. Okay, I'll pick you up at 10'

She said and hung up. If I am just strong enough I wouldnt bother asking her to come with me. since the day of the incident, everyday, everynight I kept on having nightmares. Even now , just thinking about it still shivers me. The trauma caused by that incident still lingered on my heart.

Just a few minutes, I heard a car honking outside the dorm. I looked at the window and I saw Cristina. I grab my pouch and went outside. I was about to open the passenger seat on the back of the car but cristina stopped me.

'Hey! Don't even think of sitting there, I'm not your chauffeur, sit here ' she said and pointed the front seat. I rolled my eyes and changed seat.

'Are you sure about this? She asked me while she's driving

'What choice do I have? '

'Choice? '

'Ahhh, i mean. I thought going there would help me overcome this trauma. You know i have to face my fears in order to overcome them?'

'Tss.' She uttered. Thank goodness i was able to make an excuse.

along the ride, I couldn't stop feeling nervous, i kept on biting my nails and i dont know why i keep on doing that. Finally, Cristina parked her car on our parking lot. I couldnt move when i saw our house . It's like one of the haunted houses in the world.

'It creeps me' I Heard Cristina mumbled.

Our house was a two story house, we have a swing in the backyard and a narra tree infront of the house, but now its just withered. Dried leaves and small trunks are scattered everywhere, You know just imagined how a hunted house look like.

'The door was locked.' I said.

'Oh, great let's head back' Cristina cowardly said. I looked around hoping that windows are open. And I'm right, the kitchen window weren't locked.

I opened the window with force, since it's been 5 years, the steel were already rusted.

As we entered the kitchen through the window, I realize how funny this moment was. we are like robbers who are planning to rob a haunted house, quite unique huh?

'Home sweety home' I said as we entered the house.

Cristina stand close beside me, scared.

I looked around, it was empty, nothings left. There's no evidence left, I suppose. The police got them all. I sighed.

We went to the dining area where my parents were killed. The stained of their blood was still on the floor, dried up.

Suddenly, I felt tears flowing through my cheecks.

'Are you okay? ' Cristina asked and patted my back

'Never been better' I said and wiped my tears away.

I studied every corner of our house hoping to find even just a small evidence. But I got nothing. I just wasted my time, I should've just listen to Cristina.

'Are you done reminiscing ?' Cristina asked

'Yeah maybe' I said and about to go out, but something caught my attention. I looked at cristina,

'You go ahead, I just need to pee' I said

'Be quick' she replied and went outside leaving me here in our dining area. I turned my attention towards the storage room which is half open.

"Strange, it wasn't open a while ago. " I shivered with fear.

I slowly walked to that direction and open the door quietly. It's dark.

Thankfully I was born in this generation were technology is advanced, like a cellphone that could also be a flashlight and a speaker that could also be a lamp.

I turned on the light on my phone and saw something I shouldn't see. I was stunned and was trembled with fear. I want to run and scream but I just couldn't.

There's bodies. Fresh dead bodies.

I sensed Cristina entered the house.

'Amelia? '

'Oh my god! ' she shockingly shouted and fall on the ground. I helped Cristina got up.

'W-- what is that? ' Cristina asked with a trembling tone

'I don't know, we should get out of here' I said and we hurriedly get out of the house and went inside the car.

Cristina started the car and drive as fast as she could. Her hands were trembling and she couldn't stop looking at the side mirror, making sure that no one is trailing us.

'What was that? What's going on Amelia? '

'I'm sorry if I dragged you into this, I'll explain later, just drive' i said. Good thing there wasn't any police car patrolling around.

I turned on the radio so that i could be distracted, but i cant stop thinking about the storage room. As far as i remember the storage room were closed and locked because i checked it myself. But how come it opened? Whats with the bodies?. It's fresh, like someone putted them there intently.

And when i think about it, They looked like they were killed by some wild animals, just like how my parents were killed by a wild human.

We safely arrived to the dorm. With my relief, I immediately grabbed a bottle of whiskey.

'Now, tell me' Cristina stood infront of me crossed arms and with a serious face.

'Okay, here's the thing... ' I said and sighed heavily. I think she deserves to know it. I was doomed.

I told her everything, my plan of finding justice, clearing my name and why I couldn't tell her about it.

'I am sorry for dragging you in this suicide plan of mine, I really don't want you to be part of this, I don't want to lose you' I said. She is looking at me with mixed emotion.

'To tell you honestly, the moment we stepped inside your house, I feel like someone's been watching us all along' Cristina said with a trembling tone. She sat beside me at the couch.

'Look, you shouldn't be involved in this. ' I said with a cracking voice.

'I won't, this is too much for me Amelia. I know you've suffered a lot for helping me and other people you loved and I really want to repay your kindness but not this. To Risk my life? Amelia, I don't want to go that far' she said and she was right. She was absolutely right, but why am I hurt? Why do I feel like it's unfair?

I smile at her.

'That's right.' That's the only words that came out to my mouth.

'I can help you with anything without risking my life' she said and stood up.

She wiped her tears and caress her hair.

'I have to go. You should rest. ' she said and walked out with hesitations. I bet she's scared of going out alone but I know Cristina, she's a tough one, maybe.
