Behind the Smith's

May 8th 2009 06:40
The noise of the thunderstorms reign over the screams, making sure it won’t make noise. Every cry in pain seems too silent to be noticed and the lights were all turned off. Nobody witnessed the terrifying lost of lives inside the house of darkness. The stabs of knife in every flesh were too fascinating by her hands. She liked it… and she loved it. Her hands were in bloods. She was panting hard, where heart was in rage and had not felt any fear at all. The final stab had been thrust. It made a curve in her lips with eyes brought on fire. The blood cluttered all over the floors, the walls and even herself were drowned to blood which her own hands have stained with. Too horrible but she was in fun. The sharp sound of every thunder and the lightning striking through the windows made the scene more horrific. She raised the bloody knife and chuckles came out of nowhere…

“I now pronounced you – man and wife.” Tyrone kissed Rihanne.
Applause was freed after the ceremony. The enthusiasm of the crowd was shown, and it gave more excitement for the couple. The newly-wed partners set off for their private places, where they shared dreams and vows that should last. That night was the warmest and loveliest of all, they thought.
The embrace of sunrays woke up the loving wife in her sleep. She could see the city through the window. “This morning is lovely.” She murmured. She stood up with the bed sheet wrapped around her, covering her fine shape. Her feet led her to the window and her eyes won’t dare to blink, for a good day she had faced. Looking at a beautiful scene, Tyrone walked into the room, holding a tray with nutritious fruits and a fresh juice to welcome her.
“I made this specially for my wife, I love you Rihanne…” and his arms embraced the girl he just married.

“I love you, my love.” Rihanne responded, caressing his face.
They talked about the possibilities ahead of them, and their plans for the future. “I think we should look for a house.” Rihanne suggested. “And I want it in a village, more convenient and less pollution.”
“I have been thinking about it lately, and I have decided to buy a house, for you, and for the family we might raise.” And Tyrone gave her wife a sweet kiss.
The couple had been wandering around the village, hoping too see a perfect house to live into. They took the house nearby the woods, which was once owned by the Smith family. It was a white-coated house with large windows on every side. The chimney seemed very old yet it looked attractive. The house was surrounded by different natural beauty of nature, too beautiful and charming to be disregarded. The first time they saw the house, it already captivated their eyes. It’s like a magnet that won’t let go their sight. It’s like looking a mansion in a lovely paradise. The sky gave a good aura for the house, spreading the sunlight into it. It gave an illusion of a shining structure.
Tyrone stared at her face while she was busy, amazed by the house.
“We’ll take it.”
Rihanne was so surprised, that she jumped out to Tyrone like a silly child. She was obviously happy of what was Tyrone said.
They went inside the house to check it, and very amazed that it was actually beautiful inside but one room beneath the stairway was locked. But they didn’t mind it at all.
They bought the house thus too busy buying household furniture. Rihanne had always wanted it that way – to be with the man she really loves, for the rest of her life. And there, in that certain house, she believed that her dreams may come true, sooner or later.
Too strange, they used to see a girl alone in the woods with intriguing look towards them. One sunny day, Rihanne got the strength to ask this girl. She was looking in this child’s eyes, for they are too beautiful and she looked like an angel from above. But unfortunealtely, the girl won’t talk.
“Tyrone, she has no family. Let’s adopt her. She’s all alone and I want to help her.” Rihanne asked his husband’s permission.
“Okay sweetie. You can do anything you desire. You can adopt the girl you’re talking about, where is she?”
The girl was named Clara and she has been loved by Rihanne.
Living in there, they really felt comfortable. Yet some strange incidents have occurred.
One freaky night, Rihanne was walking along the corridors, when she heard running footsteps passing behind her. She could actually felt the presence of that something. Her face had turned pale as she tried to look behind and she had taken aback when he saw a little girl had just passed too fast! She tried to follow but the girl had just disappeared! All of those were kept, and she doesn’t want Clara to find out. The child might get scared.
Rihanne could also hear voices inside the house. A voice that’s trying to tell her something she could not really understand. The walls seemed to be talking to her and she could almost hear these things everyday! Home furnitures were seen broken and figurines were scattered on the floor. The pillows were all in mess and there were writings on the walls. But those things could only be seen by her eyes. She could not tell it to Tyrone for she didn’t want to be a burden to him. And she tried it once, but Tyrone won’t believe her. Nobody did. So she made up her mind that she would find out the mystery behind this, even if she’s all alone.
She went in different libraries, to conduct her own investigation and to judge it more wisely. All she found out was that these incidents had something to do with somebody whose soul hasn’t left a certain place yet.
But Rihanne wasn’t that superstitious. She went in a police station to ask for help, but then the cops won’t cooperate.
A number of weeks had passed but those strange things weren’t cleared yet. Rihanne was crying in her bed. She was too confused and she didn’t know what to do. Then Clara walked in surprisingly. She gave Rihanne a hug and tears started to flow. The night was cold and that hug made it colder. The girl was quiet and no words had been spoken out. Clara’s skin was cold and she was pale, but she was okay. Some times, she acted really strange and it was like she knew every corner of the house. “Maybe she used to watch the family who lived here, that’s why.” She thought.
The strange incidents in the house motivate her to ask policemen once again to unveil the mystery, but still, they won’t give a hand. Rihanne left and she was upset. She was in frown when someone finally walked to her and told her that he could help.
“I don’t know why, but why wouldn’t they lend you a hand? Every family who had been in that house had been complaining, like you. And nobody would help. I just keep on thinking, are they trying to avoid consequences, or the case itself? Do they want to keep it a secret and hide the truth?” That was policeman James R. Collins.
He came to Rihanne to help her.
“The truth? What’s the truth sir?” curiosity in Rihanne started to awake.
“I don’t know. They hold the case about the house. I don’t know anything. But I could show you something.”
Rihanne and James went into the police station secretly. It is almost night dusk and they could easily go inside without anyone seeing them. They reached the case files room and they looked for the compilation of the facts and events happened in the house. They got surprised for what they figured out. The Smith family who lived in the house had died from a murder, and the murderer is one of them – a child. She was Alanna F. Smith and she had killed her family out of rage. The uncle was Joe C. Smith and the auntie was Leona H. Smith. Alanna was an adopted child. The case was already closed yet she was never caught. Nobody knows where she had been and there was no trace of her. 12 years had almost passed and it had already been forgotten, but not for those family who had experienced its terror. Rihanne was shocked for what she had found out. She burst into tears then together with the helpful police, she rushed out to the house of terror!
They conducted their own investigation for self-references. The certain closed room in the house, which was nailed and padlocked, and was forbidden was intriguing. Even though Rihanne lived there, she never thought of opening that door. It was scary for her. James forced to open the door and got shocked for what they saw. It was an abandoned room and the foul odor made them disgusted. It looked like room for torturing people. They could actually see the bloodstains and scrape marks on the walls and floor as evidence of struggles. Everything in the room was disarrayed and all cabinets and drawers were notably seemed to be ransacked. The window was broken, showing it was been wrecked for escape. In a corner of the room, there was a dirty doll that seemed to belong from a child. Looking at the room made Rihanne a bit sad and she started to cry. She could feel the sorrow, the pain and the hardships Alanna went through. They have recovered from there a video tape and a diary. They quickly closed the door and went upstairs in Rihanne’s room to see the content of both diary and video tape. Examining those revealed that the child was been maltreated and physically harmed frequently, resulting to multiple injuries and bruises, almost all over her body. She is likewise being sexually abused by her uncle. She wrote each pain she had gone through. She was being detained inside the room for several weeks, without food. Her mother had died from an illness and that was the reason why she was living with her uncle and her auntie. This girl had been a pay for the loss of their son, who was with her mother at that time. Poor Alanna… she became a murderer out of vengeance.
Rihanne is looking nowhere. Tyrone walked in.
“What’s bothering you sweetie?”
“Honey, something is wrong in this house.” She was making sure if Tyrone had the same experience and won’t mind telling her.
“Nothing is, sweetie. I am happy here, with you.”
“Where is Clara, honey?”
“Who’s Clara sweetie?”
“Clara, the girl we once talked about. She had been here for weeks. Don’t tell me you haven’t seen her? Where were you? Maybe she’s around when you’re out.”
“Sweetie, there is no Clara. No one is here but only the two of us.”
“No,” she chuckles. “We have been playing and she gave me a hug!”
Tyrone hugged Rihanne tightly, and he cried. He felt pain in his heart. The next day, He went in a near hospital and looked for a psychiatrist. He told the doctor that his wife had been seeing, feeling and saying things out of reality.
“I’m beginning to worry, doctor. I don’t know if I would believe her or not. She sees things when I don’t. She feels things when I can’t. She says things, but I won’t believe her. It’s hard. I’m in pain.”
Tyrone went home and he was disappointed. There is really no Clara, he thought. What is she saying? I wish I can believe her. He opened the front door and he saw her wife talking alone, chatting with someone. He didn’t mind his wife and he went upstairs sobbing. Downstairs, Rihanne was talking to Clara.
“I could feel something wrong here. Do you?” Rihanne asked Clara and the child shook her head, as a negative reaponse.
“My husband hasn’t seen you yet. Come with me and I’ll show you to him.” She was smiling. She took Clara’s hands and as soon as she stands up, Clara pulled back her arms. Rihanne have read the fear in the child’s eyes, so she didn’t insisted on it.
That night, Rihanne heard voices again. Help me. It was echoing inside her room. She stood up and went outside. The whole house was in darkness and it’s too silent. On the way downstairs, he saw someone passed swiftly in the living room. She rushed down to check what was there but she found nothing. Suddenly, her attention was caught by the opened door beneath the stairs… the forbidden room, it was already unlocked! She started to shiver. Then she looked for Clara. She was worried for what might happen. “Clara? Where are you?” then she felt someone standing behind her. She turned pale as she tried to turn around and seek it vividly. - It was Clara. She looked back to the room but it was already closed. I might have just imagined it. Then they went upstairs to go abed.
The next day Rihanne went in the police station. She looked for James regarding for what they have discovered. Unexpectedly, James had been in the hospital. He was beaten up by some unnamed policemen. Rihanne knew those policemen who tried to kill James. They were those who refused to help her.
Out of desperation, she asked his husband’s help. He was too confused but he gave her a hand. They opened the room beneath the stairway, searching for evidence until they found this letter:

Mr. Smith,

I know about your missing son. He is so excited to see you.
I wish you want to see him too. He is very much like you and he’s
willing to meet you soon.

Louie Martin

They brought the letter to James and let him read it and make his own perceptions. “What is really happening here? What’s with you and this cop? I don’t understand!” Tyrone questioned his wife.
“I told you before and you won’t listen!” Rihanne yelled at him.
They were surprised when James told them that their sheriff had the name Louie Martin. “Maybe he’s the one covering up this case!” James concluded.
“Why would he do this?” Rihanne was suspicious.
“Sheriff Louie Martin always comes to that house for Mr.Smith and nobody knows why.”
“We have to talk to him!”
Rihanne, with his husband, went to the police station to look for the sheriff, but he had gone to a cemetery nearby. They rushed there, hoping to find what they’re looking for. From afar, they saw the sheriff crying for someone in a tomb. They walk towards and got terrified that Louie was crying in Mr.Smith’s tomb! They asked Louie some questions and he was unaware that he had spoken out his deepest secret. He was Mr.Smith’s missing son. Then James came up, with other police officers to arrest the sheriff for they have seen enough evidences against him. Louie resisted but the men were determined. Until he confessed the crime he committed. When he was a child, he was lost in a park while playing. He was with his auntie, Marisse, who was his father’s sister. When he lost his way, he wasn’t able to come back. He had grown alone by himself but he has the trace of his father. Marisse bear a child, and was named Alanna. She had an illness and when she’s about to die, she ask Joe Smith, her brother to take the responsibility for her child. That’s when Joe Smith started to be with Alanna. Smith and her wife maltreated Alanna since she was the child of the woman who lost heir son! And the daughter must pay the debts of their parents. Louie always visits her father, and he loved him so much, that he could cover up his mess. Smith had done a lot of injustice for Alanna yet Louie remained silence for he didn’t want his father to be imprisoned. That night he went in the house to visit, when he saw his parent’s body, lying in the floor, drowned in blood and it made him out of mind. He saw Alanna with the knife which was used to slaughter his parents. He grabbed Alanna at his great effort and he stabbed her almost 40 consecutive times. His anger is intense that he even wanted to chop the girl. He got an axe and did what he shouldn’t had done. He raised the girl and axed it with the sharp of his vengeance. The blood of Alanna scattered all over the floor and made Louie’s jeans messy. He didn’t mind, he went in the garage to find a shovel and went into the woods. He dug as deep as he could, and there, he dumped the corpse inside, poured a gas on it and set a fire. He burned it, like his burning anger inside of him. He covered it up with soil afterwards. He called other cops to back up. He said he found these bodies and he never traced anything that may lead to the murderer. That’s all he could do, instead of letting Alanna live and just imprison her. He actually thought that her death wasn’t enough. He had spent his life without a father and a mother, and that time he was with them, it was the happiest of all. But Alanna screwed up. And it’s embarrassing.
Louie got arrested and he admitted it all. After the hearing in the police station, they all went home. Tyrone apologized for he didn’t believe in her wife before. They kissed in passion and they hug tightly, promising to one another that they won’t let go of their love. “I will look for Clara.” She’s very excited to tell her the whole story. She searched the whole house but she didn’t found Clara. Tyrone was still wondering about that girl. “I really don’t know her, you must have introduced her to me.” Tyrone was laughing at her. She described Clara and Tyrone stunned, realizing it was the girl in the woods who always smiles at him.
“Maybe she wants us to help her,” Tyrone murmured.
“Now you’re free, Clara. I love you. Thanks for being here.” Rihanne cried. And her face was touched by a sudden windblown. She could feel the cold hands of Clara, touching her shoulders and she could hear her voice singing and celebrating.
The couples were happy then. They move to another city to start a new beginning. They left the house for serenity. They jumped in the car and when it was about to start, a girl from the woods waved at them, smiling and then just disappeared.

A girl, who fell in love with a boy, was disappointed. Why? Because there is no way she can tell the world about it. THE END
