Linda received the package from the handsome delivery boy with delight. On the huge box was written the words "happy birthday" in blood-red ink. Her smile dropped instantly,,,,,, and she slowly sat on the big, brown, leather, recliner in the living room [it was a gift from her grandmother]. She cautiously opened the package only to find a fat messed up doll covered in fake blood and its eyes had been removed. On the doll's fingerless hand was a beautiful gift box, wrapped in pink and enclosed in a white ribbon. Inside was a bright blue diamond engagement ring on a freshly cut up finger covered in actual blood. Screaming she threw it on the ground as she had recognized its owner, it was her husband. Trembling like a chameleon on a feeble twig, she took out her lime-green iPhone pro max and dialed the only person she knew could be behind this idiotic prank. The person on the other end picked up immediately as if they were awaiting her call.

"What the hell do u think you are doing Nancy? I told you to end this long ago," said Linda still trembling but filled with rage.

"Come on mother it's your birthday, don't be such a buzz kill," answered Nancy in a calm yet dangerous tone.

"Why would you do such a thing! "

"Oh shut it! You and I both know the answer. So...how do you like my gift? It looks just like you,"said Nancy giggling.

YOU'RE A PSYCHOPATH! " Screamed Linda with pain and terror.

"And you've always known that. So stop the crocodile tears. You know very well I don't do sympathy. "

"I'll get you for this."

" I'd like to see you try. Because of all people, mother, you should at least have learned by now that I am untouchable. By the way , tell you're boss I said hi."

"how do you know about him."

"I have eyes everywhere mother. And don't even think of suicide cuz I'll be there to stop ya."

Linda cut the call before Nancy could say add insult to injury with her harsh words. She could tell that Nancy had that stupid smirk on her devilish face. she slowly buried her face in her hands and cried silently and with great pain. Why couldn't Nancy just accept that she had never liked Donald. Not all happy families had to live together. Now she had just cut the call on the most dangerous 17 year old in the world. The first time she had done this, her first ex-boyfriend ,Chris , went missing. Now what was next? she tried hiring bodyguards but they slowly disappeared one by one. Even the cops wouldn't believe her story of her own blood daughter trying to kill her. she had to cry herself to sleep and had many painkillers cuz of the insomnia the fear of her daughter had brought to her. everytime she would ask herself one question "was it wrong to want to stand on you're own decisions and be happy with whoever she wanted?"

Nancy Hamilton had been a born beauty ever since she was born. Even her siblings fought for her attention. At teenage, she never had to worry about acne. Her dark brown hair reached at shoulder-length for she loved to keep it short and straight. Her eyes were golden brown. She was the perfect height to be a model and her skin was pale but smooth. Her joyous nature made most of the elderly love her.At school no 9ne dared bully her for even if she was all bubbly , she was violent at times. Everyone knew this when the school bully decided to prank her by putting a voodoo doll in her locker. When Nancy found out she had no reaction at all.Though the very next day the bully was bald. All his long precious Italian hair was gone. All the boys and men had fallen for her and the more they tried to prove themselves right for her. Her father made sure she had good education and as the expected daughter of a rich tycoon, she found connections to school in University of Bangkok. There she obtained her masters in teaching, acting and animation, not because of connections but because she was smart. Her parents were so happy and decided to make her the next heir of his business. But of course not everything goes according to plan, for she refused to get a job and one day as she was going home she died in a car accident though her body was never found. Everyone in the city grieved for she was the city's angel. All in all, they just had to cope with it and find another.

IT was once said that a stranger bought a huge forested area a few miles away from the city, and built a mansion there. The dark side to it was that once someone got in the area they never came back. This was confirmed when four drunk teenage boys went into the area after a bad game of truth or dare. The oldest one, Caleb, had dared them to do so. The rule was that if one couldn't then he would have to buy everyone whatever they wanted. Of course everyone agreed since their ego took over. It was a blood moon that day and the quietness of the night made everything even more scary. Caleb led the group with a flash light in his hands . when he finally decided to look back he found his friends on the ground bleeding profusely. He would have called out for help but it was too late. They were dead. as he sat and wondered what to do, a wolf charged at him and killed him in a second. One day a man decided to prove his courage and went into the area lookingfor the boys.By faith he came back and was declared a brave man, but he had not foundthem. All parents warned their children not to go near it be it day or night. As for the man he lived his days perfectly with no regrets.He decided to hold a conference to describe it. and it went like this...
