Life with serial killers as your family isn't bad. They will never forget how much you helped them when you treated their wounds in your house during the night when they came bleeding. Or how you had patience when they were wary at the beginning and didn't believe you. Others would have left, but you stayed. Your loving words, warm hugs and soft kisses became their escape from this cruel world. Because when they are with you, nothing bad can happen to them.

Even though they are dangerous killers and you know it, that doesn't stop you from going into mama bear mode when you see something is wrong with them. Once an abandoned mansion outside the city, with renovations it is now a "new" home for all of them and you. No one knows your location, so there is no danger of someone finding out and coming.

They love you, in all kinds of ways, and would never let anyone hurt you. You know it and you are moved by it. You are their queen, literally or not, but your word is their last. They don't dare to question you because they know you have never done anything to hurt them either physically or mentally. They blindly trust you.

In your free time, you are in your study. There you do what relaxes you. Whether you were reading, drawing, sewing or just lying in silence, you were never interrupted. They know you need time to yourself even if it hurts them to be apart from you, even if it's just in another room. As is the case now.

After spending the morning sewing, you headed downstairs to the kitchen. But to get there, you have to go through the living room. From sitting for a long time and being tired, your back hurts a little, and your eyes are sleepy. That's why you think you didn't see well, because the living room is fuller than usual. You freeze in place and slowly turn towards the middle of the room.

Why do you see double? It's like killers have clones, and now everyone's looking at you. Clones are from a parallel universe.

“What… Why is…” You try, but you can't form a sentence from the shock. ©
