The families
Three murders in less than a week is practically a cry for attention, so naturally what does the media does? Ignore completely the subject to avoid answering questions without answers from citizens. New Orleans is know as the city of party but there’s always two side to every story and this is no exception, besides the endless night of music, dancing and laughter, there is mystery and darkness in this city. Rumor has it that long before there was any community in New Orleans, an old tribe of witches who died in order to accomplish an old spell, no one ever believed it was true until this week before all the mess this stupid spell has cause in my life, slowly it has been ending the incredible sparkle New Orleans had. It all started on May 17, 1920. The Geraldine family was hosting the party of the year and everybody was going crazy whether if they were getting invited, basically if they invited you to one of his anual famous parties you where officially of the elite part of society, everyone wanted to attend except obviously for the Fitzgerald the long last enemies better know as the most mysterious and darkest family of The country, the old tale of the witches who use to live there before anyone else where rumoured to had the last name Fitzgerald.
Clark Fitzgerald was the man of the house, he was owner of a large company of trading boats and never had the need to work, he enjoyed the darkens of his life. Everyone thought he and his family where depress because of the lost of his younger daughter of 3 years a of decade away but truly even when his daughter was alive he was always so mysterious and sometimes scary, many thought he could have kill her and the poor girl couldn’t had stop him. Mrs. Fitzgerald was as fancy as you can get and couldn’t care less about the live of people in a lower class as hers, but other than that she and Mr. Fitzgerald where a normal couple nothing compare to his know only child Christoff how enjoyed stalking his classmates and teachers after school many where suspicious of his actions but somewhat he always was really low-key and not many people notice him except the Geraldin’s older daughter Sophie who was always the most popular. She use to hang out outside the gates of the school. Unfortunately for Sophie, Christoff hated when people intruded in his personal interest and life and Sophie wasn’t the kind of person that would keep quiet if she saw something that could easily turn to gossip.
New Orleans people has the ability to steal in plane day light without anyone noticing so you could easily imagine what can be done at the dark.
The day of the Geraldin's ball, Christoff had a plan on mind and he had no intention of changing his mind, he was ready to do something he wanted to do so long ago but never had the opportunity of doing.
Everyone where astonish while Christoff enter the main door of the mansion and took a small gun and pointed directly at Sophie, moments later the blood drain out of her body and follow with a moment of silence another shout gun was heard, this time direct to Christoff from his own mother who not long after seeing the death body of his own son pointed the gun to her head and finished her life with a smile on her face, saying her last words “ it’s time for the prophecy to occur, my husband may be mad at first but soon he will smile once again and everyone who ever judge the Fitzgerald would suffer the consequences”. The room was death silent and right across the street in a dark ally Mr. Fitzgerlad painted his face with the first smile in years.
