ENJOY!!! 2001, on a rainy Friday in autumn.
"No I don't need an umbrella, bro." Jessica told her older brother although the the first raindrops felt on her. "It's not far until the bus station and it isn't raining so much." "But if you have to wait for the bus..." Oliver replied. He looked up to the sky, feeling the cold raindrops falling on his skin. "You'll catch a cold!"
"No." Jessica meant smiling. "It's not the first time I'm in rain and I'll survive it this time, too."
"Alex is going to be angry, if you're going to catch a cold." Oliver told her. He knew his younger brother well, and he knew, too that Alex would get on his nerves if Jess would get sick.
But Oliver also knew that he would reproach himself. "Here, a goodbye kiss!" Jessica said and leaned forward to give her oldest brother a kiss on the cheek.
"Jess, go now!" Oliver laughed "Or you're going to miss the bus."
Finally his sister went after an another kiss and two hugs.
Oliver watched as Jessica left in the rain. "She really should take an umbrella." he thought.
Jessica walked right and disappeared behind the corner.
"If we still had the car, she could drive." A voice whispered in Oliver's head. "But you had to sell it, because you weren't able to earn enough money for paying the bills."
"Stop it." Oliver thought to stop the voice of his bad consciene. "I know that." Oliver stood some more moments in the rain. It let him remind at the day, on them their parents had died. It was the same cold rain that felt today, that had made the streets so slippery so that their father lost the control about the car and drove against a tree. Their parents were dead immediately.
Since then Oliver, his younger brother Alex and Jessica lived together in a tiny flat in one of the worsest neighourhoodes of the whole city. All of the three worked to get the money they needed to live; it wasn't easy, but it worked.
Oliver and Alex had sworn that they would make it possible for Jess to live a good life in future. She was only 16, but the brothers already began to save so she could go to university later.
They wanted to protect her.
And they would do everything to do that. A sound teared him out of his thoughts. It was a black cat that sitting on the ground, that miaowed loudly, like it wanted that Oliver notices it.
As Oliver looked at it, it stood up and walked from left to right.
Oliver it camed to his mind the old stories about black cats.
His grandmother had always been very superstitious and had told him and his siblings often about black cats that go from left to right. "They always bring big bad luck." she had told them often.
Oliver looked at the cat again. He couldn't believe that an animal could bring bad luck.
He could hear a car that came nearer. "Black cats? Superstition." he thought, turned around and began to go back to the flat.
The car came nearer and he could her that it drove fast on the wet street. But he couldn't see, what the cat was doing.
It suddenly ran over the street. Oliver just could do some steps back to the flat, as he suddenly heard the loud noise of screeching tires, a bang and an awful scream.
He frightened unbelievable and turned fast around. Fear began to increase in his heart.
He knew that it had been Jessica who had screamed.
Oliver ran to the street. But even if he hadn't reached it yet, he could smell it. Fire.
His eyes saw the scene, but his mind couldn't believe it - it didn't want to believe it.
His sister lay under the cat that had begun to burn; dark, fetid smoke developed and made the sight worser.
Oliver heard that the driver's door was opened and a the driver began to scream. He could see from the corner of his eye the driver and noticed that she already began to call the ambulance.
But he knew it was too late. The black cat stood on the street and watched the things in front of her.
Its different coloured eyes glided over the happenings and the people that appeared one after the other.
Then it turned around and walked slowly away. 6 years later
It was short after midnight and Alisha slept deeply. She didn't have a good dream; she went through the nightmare from 6 years ago one more time. Her eyes twitched behind her closed eyelids and she turned around restless.
One more time she drove through the shabby streets at this Friday afternoon. One more time the black cat ran over the street and one more time, Alisha lost control about her car, by trying to make way for the animal. And one more time, she ran over the girl.
Alisha groaned quietly as she got out of her burning car in her bad dream one more time. She wanted to wake up, but she couldn't. Suddenly her black cat Lilly jumped on her an began to walk over her.
"What?" Alisha asked sleepy after her pet had stepped so long on her body that she had woken up finally.
"Lilly, no!" she said tired and pushed softly her cat away.
"Good that this nightmare ended." Alisha thought and pulled her quilt away. Then Alsiha turned on the lights and stood up.
She was glad that there weren't much persons who knew about this terrible accident. Only her parents, some very good friends and her manager knew what had happened. If there were more persons, there would be the big possibility that somebody would tell it the press. And that would damage her good image very badly. Alisha was one of the famoust and succesfulst female singers of the world. After six very hard years she had reached the top of her career, she had been awarded with many commendationes, she was popular and she loved her job.
Alisha lifted her cat and began to stroke its head.
"Do you want to go outside?" she asked her pet. Alisha walked around her bed to the long windows of her balcony.
And congealed. The window was open. Cold air came through the slit into her bedroom. Alisha began to freeze. She was sure that she had closed the window before she had gone to bed. She was sure that she had closed it - no - she KNEW it.
"Maybe I didn't looked it right?" she wondered, put Lilly down and stepped outside on the balcony. Alisha looked around. The cold wind moved her pyjamas and she began to fell uncomfortable.
"There isn't anybody." Alisha thought. "There's no reason to be worried, everything is okay." Her eyes looked for persons in the garden, but couldn't find some.
"Come Lilly, let's go in. It's cold." she told her cat and went in fast. But Lilly didn't came in. It began to move its ears fast, ready to hear everything. Then it heard something.
It began to arch it's back, it ducked its head and its eyes observed the thing that had made this noise.
"Lilly, come in!" Alisha called her cat again.
It looked a last time after its aim, mewed two times and walked inside finally.
Alisha locked the door. In the dark garden, behind one of the big trees, a man made a step to the side, so he could watch again the balcony.
"For the first time it's enough." He thought, leaning against the tree trunk. After that he jumped over the fence without making any noises and disappeared in the dark. On the next morning, Alisha went downstairs to the room, where the alarm system was.
She checked the system carefully and noticed that the system worked only downstairs, but not upstairs, where she had here bedroom.
As she wanted to check the system again, to find maybe more mistakes, she glanced at her watch and noticed that she was late.
"Oh damn!" Alisha sweared. She knew that her manager would make trouble if she would come late again. The studio they used for recording her new CD was very expensive and he didn't like it if she wastes money by always comming too late. After she had arrived at the studio, Alisha hurried up to come to the recording room, but after she had gone some meters, she already could see her waiting manager. He didn't look like he would be in a good mood.
"I'm not so late like the last time." Alisha thought after she had looked at her watch again. "Only 35 minutes this time!" One moment later her manager stood up and went to meet her.
"Where were you?" Alexander yelled angry. "We waited for more than a half hour! How often did I tell you that you have to be on time?" he stopped shortly to take a deep breath, so he could go on with screaming.
"Alexander? I'm sorry." Alisha interrupted him. "I knew that I'm late everytime, but this time I have a reason."
"So usually you just don't want to come punctual?" her manager asked sarcasticly.
Alisha ignored this sentence. "I had to check my alarm system."
"Why?" Alexander wanted to know.
"I woke up this night and noticed that the one of the windows that go to the balcony was open." she explained. "The system didn't noticed that, but I checked it, it seemed to be okay except for this mistake. Maybe I should contact the security company, so they fix that."
"I don't think that this is necessary." Alexander told her. "But...why?" Alisha replied surprised.
"You just use this house during we're recording, do you?" the manager said smiling. "We are going to finish that in two or three weeks, so I don't think that this is necessary. You told me that you're going to move to your villa in Los Angeles after were done here, so if it's really necessary to fix the alarm system, it can be settled when you aren't there anymore." Later - brief before midnight
After hours of recording, Alisha had gone home tierd. She just wanted to took a short shower, after that she would go sleeping.
Before she had checked all windows and doors and had turned on the alarm system, also if it seemed like it didn't work like it should. It made her feeling better. Suddenly she heard Lilly scratching against the door.
"Lilly stop it!" Alisha shouted and for some seconds the cat really stopped, but began some second later again with scratching.
"What does she have?" Alisha wondered,turned of the water, snapped at a towel and went out of the shower. She noticed that she had forgotten to take her pyjamas into the bathroom. Alisha sighted and took some of the clothes that laid in the bathroom.
The cat still didn't stop.
"Lilly, it's okay, I'm comming out!" She said and opened the door. "What do you have, hm?" Alisha asked her pet and stroked about its soft coat.
Suddenly she felt cold air comming into the room and she could hear the blowing wind from outside.
"What the hell?" she thought and looked up.
One of the windows had been opened widely and the cool air from outside streamed into the house.
But not this air was the reason, why Alisha suddenly felt cold inside.
"H...hello?" she asked whispering. But nobody answered.
"No problem." she though "you just forgot to close this window, it's no problem. There ISN'T anybody in here apart from Lilly and me." But she knew that this wasn't right. She stepped outside hesitantly, and look around in the garden.
Nothing moved.
But Alisha couldn't calm down, she couldn't.
Then she looked a last time down - and saw it. A ladder.
It leaned against the wall, so that she couldn't see it on the first sight.
She knew this ladder, it usually stood at the outdoor stairs that go to the celler.
Alisha couldn't move. She stared at this piece of metal that someone had leanad to come into the house.
Somebody was in her house. This regocnition let her feel colder and colder. The shock that someone MUST be inside let get her a gooseflesh and her breath began to go faster.
"The phone" it suddenly shot through Alisha's head. "The phone in the corridor. I have to call the police!" and then she ran inside. It weren't much meters to the phone, but for Alisha, it seemed like it was one of the longest distances she had ever run.
She graspped the phone and dialed the number of the police station. As she waited for the signal that the phone had dialed she looked around hastily, but couldn't see anyone.
Alisha waited longer, but it came no sign.
No usual "beep".
No kind voice of an electronic woman, telling her that she had dialed the wrong number.
It came nothing, the line was dead.
"No." Alisha whispered and tears began to rise in her eyes. Some quiet noises let her frightened and she saw how her cat went through her open bedroom door.
"Lilly, where're you going?" she asked desperated. "Come back!"
Though it was only a cat, Alisha felt saver with it. She didn't want to be completly alone in her house then somebody was there, too.
Somebody who doesn't want to ring.
Somebody who prefers it to use a ladder to come into a house.
Alisha ran into her bedroom. Lilly was sitting there and looked up as Alisha came in.
"Why do you always run away, you stupid cat?" she asked her pet and wanted to lift it as she suddenly began to freeze. She could see the mirror image of a man who stood behind her at the reflecting floor.
Alisha thought, her heart would stop beating, so big was this shock.
The man grinned down on her, he knew that she had seen him.
Fast she stood up and turned around. "Who are you?" Alisha asked scared. After she had thought her heart would stop beating, it began to beat faster and faster now.
"Did you forget my name? I thought you would remember the brother of the girl you killed." the man said threateningly and he made some steps so Alisha could see his face clearer.
"You!" she whispered. She couldn't believe that this guy stood relaxed in her bedroom. She went some steps back.
"I." Oliver replied smiling. But even he was smiling, his eyes were cold.
He pushed the light switch. "Now you can see me clearer." he said and went closer to her.
"What do you want?" Alisha wanted to know. "I and my brother, we want that you go to the press and that you tell them the story how you killed our sister." Oliver told her and Alisha could hear his suppressed rage in his voice.
She shoke her head. "No! Never!" she replied. "Why should I? That would destroy my career forever!"
"You destroyed our life, too. And Jess's live." Oliver said and his fury changed to hate. "If you won't do it, we will do it."
"But it was an accident! It wasn't my fault!" Alisha meant. "The streets were wet and then there was suddenly this cat."
"So why didn't you drove slower?" Oliver replied. "And why did you never apologized to my brother and me?"
His questions hit Alisha hard and she hided her face in her hands. "Please leave. Leave me alone." she asked him to do. She was scared, feared and afraid. She heard in his voice and saw in his cold eyes that he could lay his hand on her.
"Alisha? Are you upstairs?" someone suddenly shouted. "Alisha? Where are you? Are you upstairs?" Christina shouted again. Alisha's assistant began to climb the stairs. "I know it's late, but there are some things, that you have to decide now. Some recording stuff." she said loudly. "I don't care if you tell the police that I was here." Oliver told Alisha. "If you go to the police and they arrest me, they will want to know, why I broke into your house. And then I will tell them how you killed my sister."
"I didn't kill her!" Alisha replied once again, but her voice shaked so much that even she couldn't understand it right.
"You did." Oliver just said and went to one of the windows and opened it. "If you tell the press the story, I and my brother, we are going to leave you in peace. Then you paid for your guilt. If you don't go to the press, I'll come back." and after his words he went outside. Oliver climbed down the ladder fast. He didn't care about it and let it where it was, he was sure that Alisha would tidy it.
Then he crossed fast the garden and jumped about the fence. After that he ran to the street and followed it some meters till he could see the car of his brother. Oliver ran to the waiting car. As he was next to it, the lights were turned on and the driver started the engine. Oliver opened the door.
"Everything okay?" the driver asked.
"Yeah. But Christina appeared suddenly. But I told Alisha, what we wanted to tell her." Oliver replied and sat down on the seat.
After that Oliver's brother started to drive. "Is she going to tell it the press?" he wanted to know a bit later.
"No." Oliver replied. "She ... she didn't understand it. The emptiness we felt because of her. She is responsible for Jess's death, but she never said that she's sorry. Until now. She did as if nothing had happened, only because of her career."
"Maybe I should come with you the next time." Alex said. "Then she will understand it. How much she took from our lifes. If she tells the story the press, then she will feel a little part of the pain we felt after Jessica's death."
Alex changed into a higher gear and began to drive faster. After Oliver was gone, Alsiha began to cry and felt to the floor.
She was totally scared and didn't know what to do. She didn't want to make it public that she was responsible for the deat of a human, even she got never anger with the justice; everyone said that it was an accident. She knew that she would get fired from her agency that other employers would cancel contracts. After some month she would be a completly nobody. And that she really didn't want, after 6 years of hard work.
But one the other hand, if she wouldn't go to the press, Oliver would come back. And she knew that he could lay his hands on her.
Alisha didn't know, what she should do. One moment later, Christina opened the door and went in.
"Oh my God, what happened?" she asked worried as she saw Alisha crying on the floor. "Tell me Alisha." She repeated with a soft voice. "Come here." Christina pulled Alisha up and hugged her long. "But tell me, why are you crying?"
"I ... I can't tell it." Alisha just replied sobbing and began to cry again. It was too much for her. She had thought that this story was over, like a closed, finsihed book, ready to get dusty and to get never touched again. But it wasn't over.
After 6 years the horror began again and Alisha knew that she couldn't close any eye this night. Because of the fear to see Jessica in her dreams again. And because of Oliver.
He would come back. Lilly jumped on the couch. Its clear, blue eyes watched like Christina tried to calm Alisha down.
The cat laid down and after some moments it felt asleep. It began to dream from cars and fire, ladders and brothers and from black cats.

I love this story and I feel sorry for Alisha. She did not kill that girl on purpose. It is obvious she feels guilty for what she did but she also is frightened about having her career destroyed. Most people are torn between emotions like this and aren't evil as atangki seems to think.

Well. the idea is FAB and the way Lily died, so sad. Alisha strikes me as being quite shallow and vain. Oliver seems kind and dignified. I have the strangest idea that the soul of Jess might be in the cat, Lil- oh, never mind, its a stupid guess. I can't wait for more. Let me know about the next part. P.s.

I really enjoyed this story. I'm glad you've continued to write and I'm very happy to see that your english continues to progress. It's very sad that Oliver lost his sister JUST after thinking about how him and his siblings lost their parents. On a rainy day too. Alisha is stuck in a rock and hard place. But she does need to tell the story, otherwise the longer it goes without being told, she'll eventually forget about it, and end up making up a lie saying that she didn't kill a girl. It's sad that Oliver has to break into her house just to make her realise what she has done. But this is great, and I will be looking for the next part!!
