Prologue: He (I)
In Ohio, there is a small town called Plumwood.
It's a veritable town, with only a few hundred homes, but it's a huge area. Because it is surrounded by fields and is half a day's walk from the nearest town, the architectural planning here is very haphazard......
Elm Street ...... It's a street in the heart of the city, and everyone in the town thinks it's weird...... Because there are no elms here.
At 4 p.m., the sun begins to glow early, and the sky is gray almost all the time except dusk. In the dilapidated park that has been in disrepair for many years, the children are returning home one after another, only Alice is still sitting on the swing and swaying unconsciously......
Alice is twelve years old, and she is a beautiful and lucky little girl.
Saying that she is beautiful does not need to be explained too much, because as long as anyone who is not blind can see that this girl will definitely be the most beautiful girl in the town in decades when she grows up.
And to say that she is lucky is because she is an orphan.
Okay, that's actually a pretty unfortunate thing, but ...... When she was adopted by Mr. Abtt, she became the luckiest girl in the entire orphanage, and indeed in the whole town.
Mr. Abt was a good man, and this was well known throughout the town of Plumwood, whose family had lived on Elm Street for generations, who was helpful, gentle, funny, courteous, and a good man, a good neighbor, a good husband, and a good mayor...... Don't be surprised, a person as good as Mr. Abt would certainly be chosen as mayor of the town.
So, he's sure to be a good father too.
Even Alice herself, at the moment when she was led out of the orphanage by the hand, thought so.
The sun was setting quickly, the temperature was a little cold, and Alice was still sitting on the swing...... She didn't want to play a little longer, but ...... She didn't want to go home yet, or rather, she didn't dare.
It is true that his adoptive father is a good man, at least in front of others, but ...... Alice knows that this does not seem to be the case.
When did this feeling begin? Alice can't remember, she only knows that as she gets older, she feels more and more that her father's eyes are becoming more and more strange, and the last year has been much more presumptuous, and when her mother is not at home, he will even do something to herself......
That's a bad behavior!
Even if Alice is only 12 years old, not yet old enough to fall in love or be exposed to those things, she can clearly feel that these behaviors are wrong, not to mention the eyes that her father looks at her, as if to say, "Hey, little girl, you can't escape." ”
It's like a demon out of a closet in a fairy tale.
But...... And what can be done?
In the beginning, Alice tried to talk to some people about these things, but no one would believe it, and even those people would not think about it.
They will only emphasize in front of Alice that their father is a good man, a model husband, a good father, and a good mayor. Coupled with the fact that Alice is still young, she can't come up with the idea of running away from home.
So, that's how it goes...... Continues.
"Yo~ Isn't this the mayor's daughter's hard luck?" A hoarse, ill-intentioned voice suddenly sounded from behind Alice, who turned her head and looked behind her.
In fact, as soon as she heard the voice, she knew who was coming.
It was a man called Freddy. Kruger's boy, in the entire Elm Street, is probably the only one who can make such a nasty sound.
Sure enough, Freddy was standing not far away with his pockets in his pocket......
As his voice sounds, Freddy is a very obnoxious child, wearing a washed-faded red and black T-shirt with patched blue overpants underneath.
He is 15 years old, three years older than Alice, but until now, he is still in the orphanage, and no one wants to adopt. Because he is not only ugly, but also naughty, mischievous, and always bullies other children...... So much so that even the staff at the orphanage didn't care much about him, and in the words of those people, Freddy was beyond the category of "naughty", he was simply evil.
So, Alice subconsciously jumped off the swing and wanted to stay away from this guy.
"What are you going to do?" She asked.
"Tsk, what are you going to do~~" Freddy learned Alice's voice, and said in a weird way: "Of course I'm here to play." ”
"So, why did you come when the sun went down?"
Freddy was silent for half a second, but Alice didn't notice.
"Hahaha-" He suddenly laughed: "Listen to what kind of stupid question you have, I can come whenever I want, who stipulates that after the sun goes down, the swing will not swing?" ”
With that, he walked over with a wicked smile on his face and sat down on the swing.
"Y-you-" Alice pointed at Freddy, hesitated for a long time, but still didn't say a word.
"You bastard, little deflated three, stinky pervert." As if he already knew what she was going to say, Freddy helped the other man and said: and then suddenly covered his face, like the woman screaming: "Ahhh Freddy, who does all kinds of evil! That damn Freddy! ...... Hahahaha-"
He laughed as he grabbed Alice's hair and sniffed it deeply.
"Whew~~ It's really delicious, it seems that our mayor's daughter is a good girl who loves to take a bath."
It's hard to imagine a boy just 15 years old saying such things so fluently. Alice looked angry and helpless, as if there were tears in her eyes.
"You're a bastard!!" She finally scolded.
"Hehe, you look like Sister Mosley."
Alice turned around in a huff, she didn't want to stay with Freddy anymore, so she walked quickly home.
Although she didn't really want to go home, she ...... She always has to go back, doesn't she......
Looking at Alice's crying back, Freddy smirked evilly, and swayed in the thinning light. As I said before, he is a nasty child, so it is normal to be angry with a little girl.
But...... Watching Alice fade from his sight, Freddy seemed to think of something.
Alice, he felt, seemed to have a feeling of resistance to going home...... So, he hesitated for a moment.
And then......
Followed.
(it?) It turns out that I'm exempt, emmm, so do you have to count the votes? )
