Girl sees robbery. Robber sees girl...what next? it has a little mystery to it...
"I'll be right back, Dustin." Sharon yelled at her boyfriend. It was already night and they were going home.

She was going to the donut store, beside Marman's Jewelry. Marmam's Jewelry was a small building with brick walls and a broken sign, but it was a very good one, though it was on the quietest street ever made so they didn't make much good business. It held the best diamonds in Colorado, though.

She saw a man heading toward her. He didn't notice her. She was about to step out of the way until the man turned toward the jewelry store. It was closed. He still didn't notice her. Sharon's skin got goose bumps. She didn't know whether to tell someone or stop the man herself. While pondering these thoughts, she suddenly heard a bell ringing. People began to take notice. Some took out their cell phones, others ran to payphones. The robber started to take notice to this and started shooting wildly. People ran and there was a major car crash. He went back inside in the store. He was stuffing the diamonds into his pockets of his sweatshirt and jeans. His face was coverd in a mask.

Abruptly, she ran towards the criminal. Her long, blonde hair was flying. Her green eyes were filled with confusion and fear.

Why, out of all people, did I have to be there?" she thought. "Don't steal." she said to the man when she got there.

"Too late, lady. I already did. Hmm... your kind of cute in that black skirt and black long sleeve." he said. His voice was familiar but she couldn't put her finger on who it could be.

"Don't steal. It is wrong. Just like running away with you." Sharon said hotly.

"A little harsh, are we? Well, in that case, you have no choice but to come with me. I don't need a 20-year-old girl babbling that she saw a man stealing. Shit...someone saw me."

"Duh.I'm actually 19, but nice try. I will tell, whether you like it or not. How did you get in, anyway?"

"I used a hair pin. It only alarmed because of that dumb hole I had to cut. Stupid alarm system." he said to her.

Sharon took out her cell phone. He took out his gun again. It was hidden in his back pocket. He shot her cell phone out of her hands. Sharon ran toward Dustin.

"Man...stealing...Marman's Jewelry..." she panted.

"What?" Dustin said, bewildered. He heard the gunshots and ran,turning back only to remember Sharon.

"Now you're hiding behind your boyfriend? I can change that." he said, and aimed right at Dustin's heart. He shot. Dustin fell, blood was everywhere.

Sharon kneeled. "What...have...you...done?" she said slowly.

"Killed him. Now, you have no choice. Come." he said happily.

Sharon was too scared to think. Sharon ran, but the man had good aim and shot her in the leg. He carried her to a warehouse and hit her on the head so that she fell unconsious. When she woke up, everything was dark. SHe was laying on something that felt like velvet. She could feel something next to her. Once her eyes adjusted, she saw the face of Dustin staring right at her. His eyes were open rather than closed. His mouth opened also. Dustin's hands were clapsed around his neck. She screamed. Sharon tried to get up. She hit her head.

"Hahaha. Try to get out of that, Sharon. This coffin is bolted down. You are going to be buried alive. Don't despair. Your honey is next to you. Now, I got rid of you. I live my life like I've always wanted to. No one to take care of. No one to bug me to come over for dinner at Christmas. No one at all." the man laughed even more. This time, Sharon knew she met the devil's spawn, the devil's earth born son. Her father.

Her father...the one who killed her mother...the one who abused her...the one who made her life a living hell...the one who came from the flames of evil...

20 Years Later...

It was a very sad day for the Manhattan family. The father of the family died from cancer. It was in the Derest Cemetery. When they were digging a hole, they hit something that made a loud thunk. They continued digging until they found a coffin. THey tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge. They used one of the shovels to lift it open. Inside was a velvet linen and a body that was decaying. It's facial features were still visible so they could mak out it was a boy. Next to him, it looked like someone else was buried with him...only it wasn't there anymore. A note was in place of it. It was tattered and ripped.

It read:

My father...shall die...
