Vengeful Echoes
Chapter 1
In the quiet corridors of Whitewood University, where the crisp autumn breeze rustles through the leaves, Ava Unbida returns with a heavy heart.
The echoes of Zoe's laughter linger, tangled with memories of shared secrets in the library.
[Flashback: Heartbreaking News]
Yet, the tale begins not with the gentle rustle of leaves but with the harsh ring of a phone, cutting through the stillness of Ava's world.
Unknown Caller
Is this Ava Unbida?
Unknown Caller
I'm sorry to inform you...
Unknown Caller
Your sister, Zoe Unbida
Unknown Caller
Has passed away.
Ava
What do you mean, she's gone?
[Thoughts: Ava's Reflection]
Zoe, attending school abroad, was the lively thread connecting the Unbida sisters.
Ava rushes home to their city, a whirlwind of emotions accompanying every step.
The city welcomes Ava with its familiar skyline, but the weight of sorrow hangs in the air. The memories of childhood, laughter, and shared dreams cast long shadows.
[Flashback: Childhood Memories]
Their shared dreams once danced in the sunlight of the city's parks, but now, those memories are bittersweet reminders of a time before tragedy struck.
[Thoughts: Ava's Inner Turmoil]
Ava
(Now you've left me too...)
Ava
(just like our parents did)
Ava
(Alone in this city that used to be filled with our laughter)
Chapter 2
[Nighttime in Zoe's Room]
The night hangs heavy, and sleep eludes Ava. Grief weighs on her, an insomniac companion. In the solitude of Zoe's room, she wanders, tracing the contours of memories.
Ava
My sister does really have a good taste.....
[Ava notices a picture frame of them.]
Ava
*Chuckling* Haha, she looks really happy in that picture.
[Ava's eyes moisten as tears slowly fall.]
Ava
Hah... I should stop crying. My sister, for sure, wouldn't like to see me crying.
Ava
(I should go to sleep)
A subtle movement sends a book tumbling from a shelf. It's as if fate intervenes, leading Ava to discover a forgotten diary, a silent witness to Zoe's innermost struggles.
[Ava picks up the book from the floor.]
Ava
*confused* What's this?
Ava
*Flipping through the pages*
"The city whispers its secrets, but the weight of its silence is unbearable. Each day feels like a puzzle with missing pieces, and I long to find the truth that eludes me."
Ava
*Deep in thought* What secrets were you chasing, Zoe?
[Ava turns the pages, reaching the last entry.]
"I never thought he would betray me, and I can't take all this suffering anymore. If anyone reads this, I'm sorry. I can't bear this anymore... I wish those people will get their karma."
Ava
*Whispering to herself* Betrayal? Suffering?
Ava
Who could have hurt you like this, Zoe?
[Ava clutches the diary, feeling the weight of Zoe's pain.]
Ava
I'll find out the truth, sis. I promise.
