I blinked as I regained consciousness. I had hit my head hard, or had someone hit me? Then I realised I was holding a bloody knife in my hand.
I looked around and there were blood trails leading out the back.
what happened? ah! it's all so blurry, u can't remember. I tried to stand up but I couldn't.
OMG! I was stabbed in my thigh. I got a quick flashback of how I was stabbed and the pain reinforced, I moaned in pain.
I gathered all the strength I could, with help from items around the house which I used as support to walk to the kitchen, I opened the cupboard and removed the first aid kit. There was a white drug in it.
I remembered Sammy, my friend putting it into my drink and forcing me to drink it, he was successful. was that why I fainted?
I treated my wound to the best of my knowledge and followed the blood trails. they went through the fence. That's Sammy's house. Could he? I remember him saying "if I can't have you, no one can, you refused my proposal and your gonna marry that dimwit? now drink up! I'll kill you before he gets to see you in your engagement ring" I felt jittery. I moved to the front and sat on the porch, trying to remember.
Emmy said he's coming over to surprise me. He came over, when he went on one knee and tried to put the ring on me, Sammy stabbed him from behind. I groaned in shock! I looked between the flowers and a foot stuck out. OMG what is that? do I check it out? Well, I'm not as easily scared as you'll think I am. I am a military woman. and whatever it is, it doesn't scare me. as I reached to open the flowers.
" hands behind your back, woman" it was the police. I moved away and they checked, it was Emmy's.....DEAD...body. I felt like fainting all over again, I couldn't even cry. it all went blurry and next, I woke up in a hospital. "she's awake" i heard, though faintly. Then a police woman came in. "you're okay ma'am?" she asked
"apart from the pain in my thigh, yeah I'm fine"
"emotionally?"
I remembered Emmy. I was silent for a short while "yes" I answered.
"The stab marks on the deceased's body marks the one we found in your house, with your fingerprints on them."
what is she saying? when did all that happen? I don't remember giving out my fingerprints. "how long have I been here?" I asked her.
"a week" she replied. " your wound was treated so we could question you"
"I remember. Sammy drugged me that afternoon and left, it had no effect on me, then Emmy came, we spent sometime, then he proposed,I was so happy,my eyes were closed. then I heard him fall with Sammy behind him, grinning. I went to him and tried to stangle him, he dropped the knife and I picked it up. in the process of dragging it with me, I cut his arm, he stabbed my thigh and I fell, he left through the back. and I fainted".
"ok. we're gonna have to keep you under observation till we find this Sammy."
"he's my next door neighbor. he proposed to me and I rejected. that's why he killed Emmy and drugged me so I'll die before Emmy got to my house"
the police officer left and they began investigation. Sammy had tried to escape when he saw my gardener on the phone. the police caught him at the border and he was arrested and sentenced to life in prison for murder and attempted murder
Life wasn't the same without them. Emmy, my love and Sammy my bestie. I just managed and lived my life In hope that I'll find love again.
