• Chapter 3

    Flashback to the day Emma was murdered.

    Annelise drove her dark blue 2009 Volkswagen Beetle into the drive way of her mansion of a house. It was the biggest house in the whole neighborhood. She got her bookbag out of her car and then locked it after she closed the door. She walked up her long sidewalk and gasped,dropping her keys onto the ground as she walked in on the scene of what would become her sisters murder. A man was there and he was fighting with the nanny that Annelise had gotten to watch Emma who was 4 at the time. The nanny would watch Emma till Annelise got home from school and then Annelise would watch Emma the rest of the day. Their parents were workaholics,and barely ever paid any attention to Emma or Annelise. There was lots of shouting going on and the nanny slapped the man right across the cheek. Annelise could see Emma further in the house,holding her dearest teddy bear in a death grip while she watched the fight. The man suddenly punched the nanny and then pulled a gun of his jacket. Annelise,the nanny,and Emma all screamed in unison. The man shot the nanny first and Annelise saw him point it at Emma. She ran to go help Emma but the man shot Emma right in the head. Her body fell to the ground with a loud thud and Annelise screamed so loud that neighbors who hadn't heard the gun shot defintily heard her screams. The man turned the gun on Annelise and pulled the trigger. The bullet grazed Annelise's arm,causing her to cry out. A neighbor had heard the gunshots and had shot at the man at the same time the man had shot at Annelise,causing his aim to fail at killing Annelise. The man fell to the floor dead as Annelise fell to the floor crying hysterically. All she saw was her sister getting shot over and over in her mind. That was the day that the Void joined Annelise.
