Eleanor Duke Ainsley is a small, fragile girl with pale white skin and blue eyes. She was 11 years old and about 3 feet six inches in height. For a girl her age she was very weak and poor in health. She had been knocked into a coma when she was 8 because she hit her head on a table. Due to that fact her growth had reduced and her health had tremendously weakened. She was often bullied because of that, and that earned her a visit to the nurse almost every day and a visit to the hospital every month.
Her family didn’t care of course; they wouldn’t have cared if she died. Her parents had four other children who weren’t failures or as weak as Eleanor, and they were happy with that.
Right now the entire family was on their way to Buxbridge islet; it was a small, hostile island mostly for vacation and relaxing. It was summer break and they had decided to pay a visit. They were going to stay in their villa along the sea side, though the islet was small, it was said to be beautiful, and equipped with very daily necessity so that any of the visitors would not have to lift a finger.
All the servants were sent away by the grandparents of Eleanor as they thought that they’re too used to having others do things for them. Only the butler, the head maid and the chef were left. Who would have thought that this this decision would lead to massacre?
A black Chevrolet Camaro pulled up in front of a massive villa, one of the bodyguards opened a door on the passenger’s side, out came a man, probably in his fifties, he had a chevron mustache. This was Bernard Ainsley
Then a fourteen year old boy came out, his name was Charles Ainsley
Then a young man, wearing a military uniform came out, he was Chester Ainsley, he was 21
Then a young beauty came out, she was sixteen and her name was Dorothy Ainsley
Then a young boy, probably eight, came out, he was Arthur Ainsley, unlike the other men in his family, he had a bright smile on his face
Then came Eleanor, followed by her mother Cordelia Ainsley
After they washed up and had dinner. Eleanor was sitting in her room on top of her bed reading a book.
It was raining heavily, thunder roaring, wind was howling loudly and waves were crashing violently. This was like something out of a horror movie, Eleanor, too, felt it in her skin that something bad was about to happen.
A window crashed open due to the wind, causing a loud bang; Eleanor’s head snapped towards the window, cold, bone chilling wind blew in. Eleanor rushed and shut the window but then an ear piercing scream came from downstairs
Eleanor ran downstairs, almost tripping on her white dress, after she reached downstairs what she saw horrified her beyond words, the chef and the nurse had big knives stabbed through their hearts, now it was Eleanor who screamed
“Eleanor!” a femine shout came from the study
Eleanor, against her will, went in cautiously, then again, what she saw terrified her even more, her father’s severed arm was on one side of the room while his body was on the other and her eldest brother Chester Ainsley had a wooden stake through his chest, there was a gun near his hand, he probably had tried to shoot the murderer
Her other two siblings were backed up against the fire place, they too, had tears streaming down their faces, their eyes were filled with pure fear and horror
She then noticed a man, he had a red mask, or a white mask, it might have been stained by blood.
He had a black top hat and black leather gloves
He was covered in blood, the very sight of him was terrifying, he held a small sharp knife held to her mother’s neck, who had passed out due to fright
She looked for Arthur but he wasn’t there, the sound of her mother’s neck being slit bought her out of her trance, both her and her siblings screamed, the man let her body fall down, he then took out two kitchen knives and threw them. One hit Charles in the neck, and the other hit Dorothy in the eye
Eleanor didn’t scream this time. She couldn’t, it was like there was a hand tightly clamped on her mouth
A clattering noise came from the left, it was the head maid she had the phone to her ear, she was probably trying to call the police, the butler was lying next to her, over a puddle of blood. By the time she said the address, there was a bullet in her head
The man then finally noticed Eleanor, he stalked towards her
Eleanor backed away with each step until finally she hit a wall, she slid down, still staring at the man with horrified eyes. He was about to touch her with those gloved hands
But then sirens were heard, the police men were here, Eleanor found herself drifting off, she saw the man disappearing in red smoke before darkness enveloped her
After the police got to them, all of the Ainsley members besides Eleanor and Arthur were announced dead. It seems that Arthur had been already placed in the panic room
Eleanor told the police everything she had seen, and everything about the Red Masked Murder, they didn't believe her, she was soon placed in a mental asylum at the age of thirteen
Arthur was sent to a faraway hostel to be raised; at the age of 18 he inherited everything and became the master of the Ainsley family
The murder case was considered a mystery and closed. But one thing was clear; Eleanor would never be able to forget the horror
THE END
This was my language homework, I didn't have anything else to do with it, so I uploaded it on here
