I yawned a little taking those painkillers really helped me get to sleep I noticed my phone was going off I sat up but it wasn't my alarm it was one of the girls from work calling me maybe she was going to be late or something? So I answered
"Hello?" I ask
"Ohh thank god Miss Warren are you alright?" she asked
"Yes? Why?" I ask
"well... I was making sure knowone came into work early today" she says
"why? What were you checking?" I ask
"The bank Miss, It went up in flames this morning. It's alright anyone who was there got out in time were all safe" she says
"Ohh thank goodness for that. Everyone can go home we will sort this out tomorrow everyone can go home and just... relax after all that" I tell her
"Yes Miss Warren," she says hanging up the phone I got up and quickly got dressed and calling Peter, maybe it was a confidence and has nothing to do with Arthur but... I would want to be sure I felt a cold draft whistle past my feet as I made a coffee ringing his number I stood listening to the dial and the Ketel a moment before I noticed... the ringing was coming from outside my door
"Peter?" I ask in case he had come over to check up on me given the fire? I did notice that cold draft again I looked around and saw Ohh I must have left the window open last night? Well not to worry I'm five floors up. I opened my door and there was a little box where the ring was coming from I brought the box inside very worried making my phone stop ringing I opened the barely tapped box and...
it was full of blood, his phone stuck to the side of the box there was a heart. Dripping with blood and on top of the heart was a face just the peeled off face like some sort of movie prop the face of Peter. I dropped the box in shock I held my hand over my mouth so I wasn't sick tears running down my face peter one of my old friends left int his world and he's dead his body cut up into pieces to make some awful point!
"Hello, there darling? Do you like your present?" I heard Arthurs voice coming from the phone "I made it special for you. He had such a kind heart I figured you would like it. I guess you're wondering why he's been cut up and put in a box well... firstly I'm the only friend you need my love" his voice smiled "secondly... How dare he kiss you, I know it was your head and as a family friend it wasn't wise to fight back so I'm not mad at you my love, but he should have known better he knew your mine" he growled "And lastly..." he said but the phone rang off
"Lastly what?" I ask more to myself
"It gives me enough of a chance to distract you" I heard his voice say I turned and he was stood there Arthur stood standing at the door to my spare room "Hello darling" He smirked pulling a gun on me and the world went black.
he was a good man Peter... a loss to the force
he was, he was the best man I ever knew.
what happened next?
then... I discovered the truth about everything, about Arthur, about that basement and that little room.
