I AM BACK

POV- EVANGELINE HOPES

-------------------------------

# Water is everywhere in my hall and its color is red. The bloody red.

It feels like blood is everywhere. I run towards where the water is coming from. It's from the downstairs washroom. I opened the door only to be shocked. My father had drowned in the bathtub. The water in the bathtub was red, and his body was frozen and upside down.

I was frozen for a moment, only to start screaming.

"No..... Dad..............." I screamed very loudly. I heard footsteps approaching towards me. It's Zeraf.

He came near to me, shocked to see my father's body in there. Staring at his dead body made my head hurt a lot. It's like my entire blood is boiling with fear and hatred. Something flashed in my mind, and at that moment, blood started coming out from my nose. I felt dizzy for that moment. Darkness swallowed me.

Two days have passed, and today is my father's funeral. I stood emotionlessly up there as people came and attended peacefully.

On that day, I was admitted to the hospital with Zeraf and my friends around me. These days, the police came to investigate the situation. His autopsy and everything finished.

I saw almost famous people in the city of Lahorla attending my father's funeral. They were giving condolences to my father. I looked at my father's coffin. He was sleeping there peacefully. Tears rolled down my eyes, and I couldn't control them. Suddenly, someone hugged me, and I cried on his chest. Zeraf patted my head, and I cried silently in his chest. I didn't feel embarrassed or anything. Zeraf's family always takes care of me.

It's just like the scenery, When I was 11 years old, my mother died too. While attending her funeral, Zeraf was the one by my side. I cried a lot because now I am alone in this world. My father was a great man. He was a loving father to me. I didn't miss my mother too much because of him. He was a great officer and helped many people too. Finally, the funeral song started. It was time to say final goodbye to my dad. Finally, we reached the graveyard of my family. My mother Elvin hopes already rest in peace there. Near her, my dad Edward hopes too. I gave him a goodbye kiss. "Dad, I love you," I burst into tears in front of everyone. Tiara came near me and hugged me tightly. Then the funeral ended.

When I reached home, I felt very lonely. No one here to greet me like my dad.

He gave his warm welcome like this: "Welcome home, sweetie." His gentle smile always boosts my mood. After all, I am dad's little princess. I fell down, feeling broken. I cried on the floor. Suddenly, Zeref came and hugged me. I cried silently.

"Cry as much as you want, Ange... no matter what, I am here for you," he said.

Those words of his calmed me down for a while. He planned to take me into his home. I refused and gently rejected him. "Are you okay to be here? Are you okay?" he anxiously asked me. "I am fine, don't worry too much about me, Zeref," I told him. He patted my head and left.

Then I entered the washroom where I found my dad's body. I looked into the mirror and washed my face in the sink. I sprayed water a lot on my face. I sprayed and sprayed and sprayed a lot of water. It's like I wanted to scratch and ruin my entire face because I saw a horrific view in my mirror's reflection.

I am smiling... I am smiling for no reason. It's like I did something very satisfying... I was smiling...

Why am I smiling?

It shriek into me . I saw someone else in the mirror, but not me, someone other than me. It smirked at me widely and told me,

"I AM BACK HONEY"
