It was a pleasing day outside, birds are like performing a gratifying carol. The wind is invigorating, you can still smell the aroma of apple pie. And there is Jacob a 24 year old good-looking young man with curly hair, with a typical type of body, not that buffed or thin, and a innocent looking eyes. He used to be a friendly neighbor, offering different type of pies. But this haunting tragedy happened a few weeks ago.
Melody is a singer, she likes to sing pop and classical music. Melody is Jacobs neighbor, they are like lovers you know, because they always sweet together. He always hand a jasmine flowers, its aroma are intoxicating and rich in sweetness, and a fruit to keep Melody healthy and glowing. Her house is always full of laughter, they always spend there day in Melody's house, " Your house is more decent than mine, and I don't even have time to fix my humidifier" Jacob said. And melody was okay with it, because at some point they are getting along.
Before Melody meets Jacob, she is alone. Her parents were divorced and Melody has a problem with both of her parents and she become self-supporting in 23, and it went well. She survived, and she didn't hear any word from her parents still, but her sister Abby always visit her and suddenly this past few weeks she didn't happen to visit her and she just thinks because her mother didn't want Abby visiting Melody. So the time that he met Jacob, she didn't feel alone anymore. Melody is a type of girl that doesn't need a man to support her and her career, because she used to be alone. But Jacob is different, she felt distinct feeling about him, something that make her feel special.
The time they were getting along, its like she had a new family, a new part of her life. " So you like singing? Can you sing for me?" said Jacob, " Yeah, sure." Melody replied. And she sang 'Flowers' by Miley Cyrus, the song suits her well. Jacob was amazed by Melody, it has a great power and control. Melody blushed, it was a long time someone compliment her. That day was very special to Melody, its not just someone complimented her, but also she has Jacob.
Jacob went home after that day, he was happy. He even see his future with her, his eyes widen while imagining it. And that makes Melody as the inspiration to clean the whole house, the clock is rotating rapidly and he still cleaning. The dust in the corners of the house was no more, it looks stunning. It almost looks like a new furnished house, He called Melody and invite her to his house.
" Wow, you did a good job cleaning this place huh." Melody said, and Jacob surprised her with a gift. Melody opened it, and she was astonished. It's a mixtape of 'I knew I loved you' by Savage Garden, "Before I even met you, my life is miserable. I dont have any friends to talk with and I don't know why my parents abandoned me, so yeah. Lets stop being emotional here, I love you Melody" said by Jacob, Melody was thankful and at the same time she feel loved.
They smell a burning scent coming from the oven, and it's the pie. It was burnt, Jacob was just stare for seconds in the burnt pie, and he taste it if its still good. "Well, crunchy on the outside but delicious on the inside" said Jacob, Melody grin from ear to ear. And they both ate the burnt pie, they chatter about their lives and little did they know they are both abandoned by their parents. It was a wonderful night, both are full from the burnt pie and they both like each other.
Melody went home and listen to the mixtape that Jacob got her, she listens to it until she dozed off. The music just playing, and Melody didn't even realize Jacob was staring at her while sleeping. Jacobs popeyed eyes and his smile was like forced or a smile with intention, its uncomfortable. The sun rises and Melody too, She went out of bed and she showers. Singing beautifully while pouring shampoo in her hair, brushing her teeth and drying herself. Like nothing happened last night.
There was a knocked in to her door, 4 times of knocking. "Wait a minute, Im coming" she said, and she opened the door and its Jacob. He went inside without having a consent from Melody, and she just let him in. Jacob ask Melody what was her dream last night, Melody was stunned like it was a very awkward question for her. Jacob was just smiling waiting for the answer, "What? Ummm I don't know? Why?" Melody said, Jacob just says "okay" with a smile on his face, and left. Melody was confused why Jacob ask that question and leave. In her curiosity, she looked through her laptop and open the 'cam app' because she has a camera in her room and outside. She was alarmed at what she saw, she suddenly looked pale and feeble, she didn't know what to do. Call the cops or go to Jacob and ask why he is in her house, her room that night. And without hesitation she will dialed 911 not until..
Knocking at the door again, its Jacob. He ask Melody to come to his house because he has another surprise, Melody just get along with Jacob and she was still shaking. He opened the door, and Melody sat in the sofa shuddering. "Are you cold?" Jacob said, And Melody just says "No.", Jacob went to the kitchen and brought the cooked pie to Melody, and now its not burnt. Jacob takes a piece and put it in a plate and gave it to Melody, he was just there standing just watching melody savor the pie he made. Then he says, "How was my father taste?" Melody was stunned to speak, she was just staring at Jacob grinning smile. "Wha-what?" Melody said, Jacob just sat near Melody and put his hand on Melody's shoulder. "I know, you know about me staring at you while you are beautifully asleep, sometimes you shower, and sometimes how you eat. You still look beautiful" said Jacob, and Melody;s eyes were dropping with scared tears. Jacob suddenly walked to the door and locked it.
Melody rushingly went to kitchen and she saw it was barricaded, her life depends on how quickly she can think, her only way was upstairs or in the attic to get through the roof. She went upstairs and find the attic but before she even open the door, the scent of rotten flesh slap Melody. She almost puked, Jacob was going after Melody. She had no choice to go to the attic, she shouted and called for help. And after that she saw a white covers with a human figure lying on the ground and its 3 of them, she was dazed. Jacob was in her back, he grabbed abby. " You want to be part of my collection? Ha! And want to meet MY COLLECTION?! Okay ill show you" Jacob take off the covers, first in was Jacob father with missing one arm, mother with missing one legs and lastly....
Melody was having breakdown, scared to death and panicking. Its her sister Abby, her precious sister who she thought was with her mother. Melody was having memory flashes in her eyes, the times where she and her sister was laughing in the tiktok video they made, the jokes they share to each other, making macaroni and cheese and eating together, it all went downhill, it was like bubbles popped and the memories turned blank. " You fu**ing killed my sister, she was all I have!! You fu**cking psycho!!" Melody said while in burst of anger and tears. Jacob was laughing hysterically, he took the bat and...
Melody closed her eyes, she was destined to die, she cant do anything " Its okay Abby, ill be there for you now." Melody said, she grasped her hand in Abby's cold shoulder. And suddenly, Jacob cant breathe. He was choking, the look of Melody was muddled. Jacob was slowly dying until Jacob fell down, And she saw Abby's closed eyes are tearing and gradually smiling. Melody hugged her sister tightly.
The police went to Jacobs house and busted all the doors downstair and upstairs, they went on searching until they saw the body of the parents of Jacob and the two siblings, Abby and Melody. holding each other, pool of blood. No And Jacob was nowhere to be found.
The justice of the two sibling are not yet attained, that's why Melody's mind made the justice they deserve, its all in her brain until it doesn't function anymore. While Jacob brutally blowing Melody's head off, Melody was having her justice for Abby.
"Until we meet again, sister." .
Months passed new people took over in Melody's house and they say every afternoon they smell the fragrant of pie that was being baked near the abandoned house.
