Lethal Bride - Season 1 - Episode 3

Reminiscence

She stamped her feet hard when she discovered he had disappeared, she moved quickly, her eyes were swift to scan the place; she aggressively ran her hands through her hair. She has
never disappointed Easton and she was not starting now. She felt someone touched her, she
turned to see a beaming face of a lady, “good evening miss Crystal”, “evening”, she tried
to force a smile, d--n she didn’t want any sort of delay whatsoever and this was
beginning to annoy her. “This is my first time in this club and I loved every word that
came out of you, you sang
like an angel, and the way
you danced was angelic I
must confess”. Crystal was in
no mood for flattery but tried not to disappoint the lady who seemed really excited to
meet her in person”, “ermmmmm, I’m glad you
loved my song, I hope you
come here often. I’m really in a hurry now, trying to catch up with someone”. The lady
nodded and watched Crystal walk away.

She searched everywhere, she was already getting pissed when she saw the rear of a
man wearing a white jacket and walking towards the exit, she smiled and hastened
her pace, she wasn’t going to
lose him. She got outside to see him leaning on a pillar, smoking a cigarette, one hand
in his pocket, the other held
the stick of cigarette between
his lips, he exhaled so much
smoke through his nostrils and little came out through mouth, he seemed distant. She
walked slowly towards him
like a lioness that just saw
dinner. She got to his side and
took the cigarette from him and placed it between her lips, pouted her lips and blew out
smoke. He smiled.

“The famous Crystal, beautiful
and elegant. This night is going
to be great with you by my side”.
“oh yea, I’m not going to
make it just great, I would make it unforgettable”, she flirted with him for a while
before whispering in his ears “come, this night won’t be complete without you getting
la!d”, she pulled him by the collar, he drew in one last smoke and exhaled, threw
the cigarette to the ground and stepped on it, the
followed her, hoping for the
best night in his life. As she led
him to where he hoped he would get bliss, the images of her mom came to her, she could hear her dad begging for his wife, she could feel the
terror that engulfed the house, she heard men laugh without sympathy.

That night before the attack, her dad wasn’t himself, he behaved odd like he knew
something bad was coming.

While they were settled eating dinner, an unusual
silence hovered around the house and it disturbed her, but she ignored it and kept eating,
her dad barely touched his food. After dinner there was a terrible bang at the door
that seemed to shake the house. Her mother looked at her dad in terror, “I thought
they said they were coming
next week”, he looked at his
wife with so much guilt, there
was so much apologies in them, he pulled her close and kissed her forehead, “honey
take crystal and hide, I will face them on my own and can’t risk your lives, I caused this, let me handle it myself”, her mother took her arm and
took her into the room and told her to roll under the bed and stay there, “but dad said
we should hide together” she
was already visibly shaking with fear, her mom kissed her cheek, “its our duty to protect
you, just remain here, after everything is done, we will come and get you, promise
me you would stay here please”, “I promise mom”. Her mom stood up, she watched
her mom’s legs as she left the
room and closed the door.

After all went silent she waited for a long time before she realized her parents were
never going to come and tell her everything was fine and it is okay to come out. She
crawled out from under the
bed and went in search for her parents.
What she saw made her
scream, suddenly she was
orphaned by brutal men she
never saw, she shook with
terror, she touched the faces of her parents to see if there was any life remaining in
them. She remembered crying
so intensely that day, she
didn’t believe she had lost the
only people she had in life, she ran outside and called for help, she got the attention of few
people as they all got in and
gasped in horror simultaneously, an ambulance
was called and they were taken to the hospital she went along with them and
her parents were confirmed
dead. The next day, the bodies
of her parents were missing.

The doctors and nurses were thrown into confusion. She was devastated; she went
back home to grief and waited for a call that would tell her the bodies were
found. As she got closer to the house she saw two men circling the house, they looked
suspicious and fierce. That was
the last time she went back
home, she never got the call
and never went back home. She was scared they would come for her too. That was a
long time ago.

She led Hector to an alley. He
looked confused, “is this
where you want to do it?”, she smiled and pushed him against the wall, placed her
lips on his and kissed him, he
circled his arms around and
pulled her closer, his breath
already labored. She withdrew from his embrace;
he wondered why she
withdrew so quickly, when
he saw her looking into her purse he smiled thinking she was going to pull out a condom. But her hand came out with a gun, he was
shocked “what is that for?”
she had a devilish smile on her
face “you really stressed me
today, made me kill another person. Anyway it’s worth it, I have you now”, she pulled
the trigger, he fell to the
ground, as blood gushed out
from his chest. She turned to
go but she heard him say “b---h”, she turned round to see him trying to crawl, she
took out her gun and this
time aimed for his head. “You
are the bigger b---h b-----d”,
she walked away feeling fulfilled, now she can face Easton boldly, and regain her reputation for not missing a target.
