Red Red Give Her Red, Aurora Kryan [the top 100 crime novels of all time TXT] 📗

This story takes place in a small town. It was very quiet and just the kind of small town where everyone knew everyone and all was peaceful. On the edge of town in the small two story house a mother and daughter lived. The daughter was five with long blonde hair and looked like her mother. They were just as normal as everyone else. That is they were normal until the day Laura found a new hobby...

It was said that Laura was working on a picture for her mother, Maria, and she needed scissors. Maria was out back in the garden working at that time. Laura knew there were some on the desk where her mother worked so she went over to get them herself. The only obstacle was the black office chair. Laura of course climbed it as Mickey followed right behind her. Mickey was her beloved white and block spotted dog. Where ever little Laura went so did Mickey.

As Laura finally got on the office chair Mickey laid down below it so he was close to her. Unfortunately when Laura grabbed the scissors she pulled to hard and the office chair spun her around knocking her off balance. When she finally gained her senses she looked over to her whimpering dog. The chair had flung her off it and right to the ground, but the scissors went straight down into Mickey’s leg.

Now it was known Laura loved the color red, anything and everything red. So when she saw the blood trickling down Mickey’s white leg she wanted more. Smiling she took the scissors out of Mickey’s leg and looked at the beautiful crimson liquid on the scissors. Being as curious as a five year old was she stuck the scissors in again to see if more red blood would come out. She became so absorbed in the different shades of red that she was unaware of the stabbing motion she was doing.

At least until her mother walked into the front room and screamed bloody murder. Maria was horrified as she looked at poor Mickey who laid there dead. But she was more horrified when she saw the look in Laura’s eyes, the look of a killer.

That was the first incident where Laura killed. But it wouldn’t be her last. Since the murder of her dog twelve years had passed supposedly without another accident. Laura would be seventeen and she had her first boyfriend named Keith. He didn’t know about his girlfriend’s deadly interest in killing animals so she could see their blood. Laura was keeping it a secret from everyone. Or so she thought...

It was a study night for the teen lovers and Maria had let Keith over so long as they studied. Laura took the floor and Keith had the couch in the front room where Mickey was killed. Keith had either gone to get a soda or something to eat, the exact item is unknown. But upon return to Laura he cut his hand on whatever it was he had fetched. Laura being the blood craving murder that she was took action and tied him up with a towel and rope.

She dragged him to the basement and tied him to a chair. Taking one of the knifes she used to torment the animals she killed she began to cut Keith. Three cuts had been made when it was said that Maria came down the stairs to look for a box of books she had stored down there. When she saw the knife in her daughter’s hands she panicked taking the knife from her and releasing Keith.

There just wasn’t something right about Laura because she went after her own mother with the intent to kill. People said that Laura had always been secretive about her hobbies. And it was theorized that she would kill to keep it a secret, who ever said that didn’t know how right they were. Maria had to defend herself but she was hesitant to kill her own daughter, even if Laura didn’t feel that way about her.

The slight hesitation Maria had forced her to stab Laura in the left eye or be strangled. The pain must have sent Laura over the edge more because she lunged again to kill her mother. This time she was armed with a pocket knife. Maria was forced to kill Laura or be the reason for a murderous teen being on the loose. Regretfully Maria slit her daughter’s throat. The last words Laura said to her were spine chilling.

“I will be back to finish this.”

Many said that because she was so full of malice towards her mother for killing her Laura’s spirit was damned to wonder for eternity. All ways trying to go back and finish what she started. It was two years after Laura’s death that her mother died. It was ruled as a suicide, but then why was her left eye stabbed and her throat cut just like Laura’s...

It turned out Maria never left the house after she was forced to Kill Laura. She mourned her daughter and wonder what she did wrong. Her neighbors said she would go down to the basement and look around to see if Laura had returned. Always saying she was sorry for what she did. Always hopping she would be forgiven. On the eve of the two year mark of Laura’s death Maria returned to the basement as usual to mourn.

But this time there was a surprise. This is where authorities say she finally lost her mind from all the grief and took her life, inflicting the same wounds on herself as she did on Laura. But then why did the neighbor call the police saying she heard Maria scream from the basement? The basement that had no windows and one way in. The basement who’s only door was locked from the inside. There was also a note written on the wall in Laura’s blood.

Vengeance

is

mine.

The only real explanation comes from the one witness to survive Laura’s lust for blood. Keith, the captured boy friend set free by Maria. He left behind a journal with one entry. And this is what it said...

Laura waited for Maria that cold night in the basement. Her spirit had waited two years to get the power to touch the living. She found the same knife Maria had killed her with and waited. On the eve of her death she watched Maria cry and beg for forgiveness. But Laura couldn’t and wouldn’t forgive her. The only reason her spirit had returned was to get revenge. Making her move at the stroke of midnight Laura showed herself.

Upon seeing her daughters ghost Maria screamed. And ran for the door but it slammed in her face and locked it’s self. Laura was having fun so she made herself bleed by cutting over the scare on her ghost throat. She wrote the words Vengeance is mine on the wall before she stabbed her mother in the eye. Maria didn’t scream she just accepted it asking for forgiveness. Laura denied her and slit her throat.

After killing her mother Laura came to me. She had one request. Spread word she will be waiting for something to do on the other side. I have by leaving this journal behind. Now that I knew the truth I can’t take it any longer. I will meet Laura tonight in the basement at the stroke of midnight so this will end.

That was the only entry in the journal. And the next day Keith was found dead in Maria’s basement, stabbed in the eye and his throat slit...

It is said that if you go out at night to the old property and search of the sight of the basement you’ll see her. Of course the house has long since been torn down and a cemetery built over it. But there is a one spot where the grass doesn’t grow. It is believe to be the spot where you will see Laura’s black red eyed ghost...

If you bring a pocket knife and place it on the dirt you will be stabbed in the eye and have your throat slit. But every now and then Laura will let someone go free with only three cuts to show for their efforts. For the ones who do survive they all say the same thing. She let them go because she wants’ word spread she will be waiting for something to do on the other side...
