Story
Act 1: Scene setting
This is a old story of death, hatred and betrayal. But it's not any history of death, this is based at the trial of several characters to continue judging each death and failed steps mistrust between such. This story told by my grandmother back to the Victorian era, outside of England in the most bourgeois and rich, to be exact, there where the secrets are subject to the hands of the grandfather clock.
was a cold night rain unstable, sometimes pouring rain or just stopped suddenly, but seemed to improve the circumstances of that day. One day I would see a big meeting between old friends or rather between "good" friends. There little movement and noise in the streets that used to roam a drunkard among the dead. But that day was all too unnatural, not only by the unusual weather, also by the unusual scene of the grim entrance of a luxury home that always used to spread peace in the environment. But that day was very strange, beautiful house full of roses now but did not convey a strange dark aura. There was blood red petals strewn everywhere, pouring rain which made the scene even more bleak and rain abandoned by humanity. In that place there was a deafening silence and strangely unique, but most peculiar was the break that silence claim.
For a moment he began to listen to old coaches go through the cobbled streets, some coaches with some noise mortuary. You could hear every so often the rhythmic clatter of wooden wheels with stones for a moment you could say they were not more than 3 floats that were coming down the street, but it would be wrong and immediately secure the carriages came to a point meeting, this gloomy mansion.
If one looked at all the carriages had come would surely be thinking that something important what was going on, surely you would be right, that day all those coaches met due to a further cause dark, the facade of that house. That day a funeral was held the owner of that property, but that day only attended by their closest friends and intimate to talk about the deceased.
As if it were an old play very well synchronized opened the doors of the carriages leaving show the main characters in this story. Although it seems strange they were only two men and five women who were about to enter the scene. All were looking at young people with a great future ahead, but that night he would decide many things more than life for them. All included in the decedent but only a few could be left with his vast fortune, to be exact would be no more than three people. To this should happen until dawn in the house locked and no escape from the property said to be haunted by a serial murderer, although this has not affected them at all young people who were entering that property that day, after all, could call authorities by telephone or climb the huge gate and escape for them, their least concern were old urban legends. Immediately
floats doors were closed and left off their passengers who were dressed all in black with an umbrella in hand. Each one went through the iron gate and entered the property immediately a lawyer behind closed doors and could be met such treatment. They did not flinch and steadily entered the dreadful place as if it were a place of shadows.
Act 2: Scene One
Immediately inside the young people left their coats on a coat rack and umbrella in the right place, they sat around a round table in the kitchen and looked at each other, were not just kids who liked playing with fire.
Each took a seat next to the people who would rather be, after all, were a group too large to get along with them in their entirety.
were there from the "average" to right:
Mercedes, was the daughter of a small family that produced textile goods, incredibly his family had grown economically in recent times too, but even he was needed to win the competition.
Dorothy, was the best friend a life of Mercedes, were known since they were 3 years old. She belonged to a family of metallurgical manufacturing was raising more and more. But she was a person a little more ambitious and wanted to open his own textile company, which does not dislike Mercedes was not wanting to have more competition. Federico was also lover for a while, but things did not work and quickly separated.
Federico, the impossible love of Mercedes and the eternal love with Antoinette. He owned a large chain of banks, and even had all the money in the world could not have the love of Antoinette. Antoinette
simply the hottest girl harassed by a group of guys and the impossible love of Frederick. She was part of a noble family and was a person very dear to his beloved sister Dorothy quasi. Although economic problems were not she wanted the land of the dead to expand their fields.
Rosa, Mercedes cousin. She loved with all his soul to Mercedes that was almost like her sister and her Mercedes, but hated Mortimer falling in love with her and did not trust at all in Dorothy, while Mercedes came to warn several times that Dorothy was going to end betraying.
Mary, perhaps the person most hated by Mercedes and Antoinette. His family was part of the royal court of England and were part of parliament since it was founded, thanks to that had managed to amass a great fortune. But not everything is as it seems, his family wanted to expand its power in the world and needed American lands of the dead.
Manuel, a childhood friend of Dorothy and Mercedes. It was just a very sociable person in a world in which he detested. He was a sickly young man who lived traveling overseas to improve their health. Denise
, Manuel's cousin. She usually did not coincide with the ideals of Mercedes, so they tended to be ignored. Unlike its cousin enjoyed excellent health. Although he was "honored" by the world of the bourgeoisie, but always came to each month a new "gossip" about her.
But even need a last character, one who was inside the box and surrounded by flowers in the living room. The dead, the better known as Mortimer, a friend of Federico, Manuel and Mercedes and hated by the rest of the group. It was a great businessman who used to do good business with low costs, so he had amassed a fortune in the twinkling of an eye. Nevertheless, he could not get the love and affection of Antonieta Rosa let alone to which he had proposed marriage a few times.
were strange things in the environment, especially because many refused to approach the dead. Mercedes spent his gaze to the present and sighed. I knew nobody was going to encourage to move if she did not first. Tulle walked dragging his fine black dress and went quietly into the living room, moving like a maid by the customs of high society and, in part, hoping that the rest follow.
slowly and slowly walked towards where I was, but was reluctant to accept the death of Mortimer had no choice but to accept it. While Denise and Rose wanted to accompany her to the place least knew they were not going to do just because they hated Mortimer.
crossed the threshold of the living room and just collapsed characteristic strength in his feet to see the white shroud surrounding his friend. Pulled out a beautiful white handkerchief and began to mourn just quietly in a chair near the deceased and the fireplace turned on and leaned her head on the cold body spilling their pain over the person who did not seem to be your friend.
The rest of the group looked at each other to see who did, Dorothy, Denise, Marie Antoinette and quickly refused to go to see the body of that foul being. But Rosa did not quite know what to do, and I knew almost perfectly to Mercedes and maybe she knew she needed her company, but did not want the truth never see Mortimer.
Federico Manuel looked at and walked into the living room. Federico continuously as followed only a few steps behind and total calm. But something strange happened before they could cross the doorway of the living room, the grandfather clock did not sound that for years gave the twelve o'clock and immediately cut off all the lights being dark.
Act 3: First ploy
Strange noises were heard around each character, but the strongest was the one who came from the living room, everyone stood still until he became to turn on the light after two minutes. Everyone looked around until they heard a scream coming from the bed of the deceased. Was the cry of Mercedes, all were running to her until she was found lying on the floor crying, frightened and trembling with fear. She looked with horror towards the fireplace which was still burning.
All his friends nearly died of fright and several of the girls gasped. Just a few yards away there was Mortimer out of his crate, to be precise lying on the floor with a knife in his stomach with a note that said "Start the game." Even
Mercedes remained on the brink of collapse when the girls were calm and could help her. The first to approach him was Rosa faced concern to see that Mercedes was getting paler and trembling more and more, was on the verge of tears when Rosa held her tightly to calm down.
But Mercedes was still there lying on the floor watching in horror as the corpse and tangling their fingers arranged her hair so she could not realize that his friends were at his side, his time had stopped with that image his mind.
She kept silent until Rosa held her, only then realized that she was safe around the arms of his beloved cousin and was able to close my eyes and mourn the fear hiding her tears in the folds of long sleeves dress of her cousin. Everyone was silent for a moment until Denise opened her mouth to say in a tone of indifference:
"This is not just a bad joke Mercedes
stopped immediately embrace Rosa Mercedes was still in the ground and opened her mouth to object to such an absurd idea, because she knew she would never do something that the body of Mortimer.
"She would never do something because ... - said angrily, but before the close Rosa Mercedes stood trembling and with a sad smile on his lips took her cousin's sleeve clothing and wiped his face with his handkerchief.
"No need to fight," he said quietly and began walking toward the exit. Rosa immediately followed without protest because he knew that Mercedes was a very quiet person who hated the fights, especially those that were caused because the people around her did not know.
-Mercedes always thought a lot but the truth is it's a bitch, "said Denise just anger and Mercedes Rosas were far from the habitación." I'm going to sleep, I'm tired of this stupid theater immediately walked toward the exit and went to the second floor where they were the guest rooms.
They looked at the rest of the characters between them and the only thing that came to do was to lift the body off the floor and return things to normal. As soon ended up walking to where they were Rosa and Mercedes. When they noticed that Mercedes was not with Rosa asked about his whereabouts to which Rosa began to say:
"He went to the bathroom ..." but before he finished his sentence was heard a cry from the second floor.
all ran in the direction from which came the cry that appeared to be a Mercedes. They climbed up the stairs and found Mercedes trembling hand on the knob of one of the doors leading to one of the many bathrooms there. Barely saw looked like a ghost, completely pale looking inside the piece.
Act 4: Second ploy
All were amazed at such a scene that felt that a bad omen around the house. A few yards away was Denise wallowing in their blood, or rather, Denise pieces floating in the tub. Maria and Manuel could not believe what was happening, if only a few minutes ago Denise was talking with them, inevitably tears began to fall from their eyes.
But Dorothy came abruptly Mercedes that was still in shock and shook her arms gripping tightly and said angrily:
- What you did to Denise? What you did to deserve death? Tell me I was ... -
But before he could continue his hands were left without power and his legs too, so beat it ended on the body without understanding Mercedes that looked quite right. When Dorothy hit the floor and was crying and her hands hiding her face. Mercedes bent down to embrace it to get things right but Mary pulled her hand and cried in fear:
-killer not touch
Mercedes 's mind went blank for a second to see Manuel, Frederick and Mary looked at her with fear and reproach. She knew she doubted his innocence, but could not prove it. I was about to mourn, but he held his tears when he felt the warm hand of friendship to Rosa, she knew Rosa supported her but could not allow her to venture to oppose the rest.
Mercedes sighed and stood up decisively
said "If I can doubt both arrested and imprisoned but that's not going to change anything because I'm not
guilty ...
Mercedes had hoped that it could even change the waters of distrust that began to become increasingly dangerous. Dorothy gazed for a moment, she had never seen his friend so even though I knew her a lifetime. But that did not stop and said even more determined to Mercedes to his friends
-tie them and Lock him up with Mortimer
Mercedes simply lowered his head and smirked, I knew all he was playing against, or rather, almost everything he played against. Rosa knew that was in his favor and he believed in it, in turn, knew that attitude would Antoinette, the person he believed even more just and calculating as her. But it was time to be thinking too much, those who were once his friends were now enemies and tormentors of their own innocence.
hopelessly sighed and walked to the plant at low and being escorted by Federico Manuel ahead and behind her, after all, would not she could escape out the narrow stairs. But only because she was escorted not let him touch a hair before you get to where it pinches, for it was a matter of pride being tied and locked up for something they had not done. But there was no other to be submitted, after all knew that if she opposed going to be worse, not for herself but for Rosa, Rosa could not allow spreading of the group and take unnecessary risks. Quickly
already inside the living room and tied in the middle of the room and beside the coffin. Federico Manuel and perhaps felt a little sorry for her when she tied his hands and feet while sitting in a chair. If that was not gagged little question that I could not scream, it was something that Dorothy had asked specifically. Dorothy did not believe in the innocence of Mercedes and if they prove innocent his own death. Mercedes
felt foolish for having trusted Dorothy ever, but deep down she knew that Dorothy was a good person. Looked at the floor while tied thinking that had been betrayed by people he liked, for a moment a few tears shed over her long dress that was beginning to wrinkle but her thoughts strayed constantly started saying "I hate, hate ... I am innocent ... You never trusted me, I was never your friend ... I hate them, hate them. "
His feelings were so strong that the appearance of his face had changed to normal, she is always crying or laughing now had a serious expression with a hateful glare. For a moment he raised his head to give them a dirty look and Federico Manuel walked away, feeling as if a fierce attack them. For a moment doubted that remained Mercedes Mercedes and felt they had awakened to a serial killer.
Act 5: First true
Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Antoinette prepared to watch the scene in great detail, after all had no evidence to doubt the innocence of Mercedes and hoped that something would give the key to revealing the identity of the criminal. Though not much given to things they had to do with blood would rather find something that will tell you anything to be with people accusing her arms folded.
walked around the tub a few times, but nothing indicated anything, it was very "clean." Although Mercedes did not think it did, after all, how much time had passed since Mercedes went to the bathroom until they arrive? "10 or 15 minutes? Mercedes did not believe that someone could break up so quickly with its texture and classic weakness. I knew that Mercedes was weak physically, so I do not think it was possible that she is.
Initially could have nailed dagger into the body of Mortimer, but she knew that Mercedes would not, not because they were friends, but because she loved deep Mortimer with all his heart. And though she was rejected she still loved him a little, never do anything that would defile the body of Mortimer or their memories together. Antoinette
clearly remembered that Mercedes had been well taken at first the death of Mortimer, but barely had seen the body in the hospital, her strength had collapsed in front of everyone. Although Mercedes was known as a cold and calculating person she was tender at heart, or at least that Rosa had told him that knew it well.
closed the bathroom door with her inside and found something unexpected find, behind the door had a dagger and bloodless. While this knife had only one function, leave the door a note saying "I used once can not be used twice." I did not understand what he meant, but he had another pass this "statement" to his cellmates.
went downstairs with Rosa who had been waiting outside the bathroom so that nothing had happened and both went to the kitchen where all but Mercedes were. Dorothy was still shaking and crying and Mary could not calm her, but she was in the same conditions as Dorothy. While Manuel sighed and revealed a face depressed to tears, but Frederick seemed unperturbed.
Barely Antonieta Rosa appeared on the scene and things seemed to be worse, especially since everyone knew that Rosa was going to defend his cousin no matter the cost. Antoinette sat down and asked Mary to prepare a tea to the present. Mary looked unhappy but he case Antoinette when she caught a bad mood, quickly heated and poured water on the table china cups.
all stood in silence until Mary finished serving tea, Antoinette looked at those present and said while throwing a paper on the table:
"I found this on the bathroom door was stuck with a dagger ..." he said while adding a little sugar to your tea-I do not know if you recognize the lyrics, but that's not the point of Mercedes ... I do not know if you know what I mean ...
quickly read the note and looked with amazement as they did not know she meant. Although most were amazed at the words of which seemed to defend Antoinette Mercedes. Mary quickly said:
"That does not mean anything, either write else copudo ... - he said as he continued to serve tea
" But that does not mean that Mercedes is innocent, "said Rosa," It is impossible that Mercedes has killed so fast with someone who is physically weak ...
-Able hired someone to do the dirty work ... - muttered Dorothy "Surely it has all worked out ... all our deaths ...
Rosa hit hard the table causing it to pour the liquid from the cup on the table. And cried
- How dare you ...? - Raised his hand to hit in the face but Dorothy Manuel stopped her "Let me, let me tell you ... - When you managed to escape from the hands of Manuel his hand flew in the air to beat Dorothy.
splat!, Was heard even in the living room where Mercedes was locked. Rosa looked for a moment in fear of the situation. Antoinette had brought in a final blow causing the person who had earned the slap had been Antoinette. Rosa looked at with indifference and approaching said Rosa and whispered in his ear:
"If you want to help Mercedes would be better to stay without saying anything or want to act rashly ... - sighed and continued tie she would prefer that you do not do anything against them, you're more likely to continue to live if you stay with them that if they lock you up as they did with it.
Rosa fell for a moment that her cousin was in danger of imminent death and, at any time the murderer would realize that she is to them to be killed and die if he could not defend themselves. For a moment he hated Mortimer and his desire to be veiled in the house and by the fact of the conditions to get their fortune.
Without any options sat quietly in his chair with concern, he had no choice but to keep around doing nothing, hoping that Mercedes could be good despite the odds of playing against.
and Federico Manuel sighed and took a bit of tea, tea whole discussion was already cold enough to drink. Dorothy then took a sip and then Antoinette in her box was dead serious. But when Mary took a bit of tea began to feel tired and dizzy at the time.
