Legen er død. Nå vil datteren hans hevne seg … «Jeg kommer alltid til å beskytte deg», hvisket mamma i øret mitt hver kveld før hun kysset meg god natt. Og hver gang vi våget å forlate den forblåste kystbyen vår, klemte hun hånden min så hardt at knokene hennes ble hvite og ansiktet fortrakk seg og ble blekt. Før har jeg aldri forstått hvorfor. Det gjør jeg imidlertid nå. Jeg hørte hviskingen og ryktene da jeg vokste opp. Mamma forsøkte å skjule sannheten fra meg, men hun lyktes ikke. Jeg vet nøyaktig hva det var som skjedde for 18 år siden. Jeg vet at jeg er den drepte legens datter.

Every day I walk up the driveway to this gorgeous house and through the window I see the picture-perfect family: a husband and wife playing with their two adorable children.

Opening the door, I kiss my handsome man and smile as the children run into the home I’ve spent all day making perfect. I still can’t believe that I’m living in this warm, safe place that’s filled with laughter. But I’m always looking over my shoulder because I know that my gorgeous family could be taken away from me in a heartbeat.

Og hver gang vi vovede at forlade vores forblæste kystby, klemte hun min hånd så hårdt, at hendes knoer blev hvide, og hendes ansigt fortrak sig, anspændt og blegt. Jeg har aldrig forstået hvorfor.

Hun kan redde livet ditt. Men kan du stole på henne? «Jeg heter Darcy. Jeg er sykepleieren din, og jeg er her for å hjelpe deg.» Men denne gangen mener hun dem ikke. Med den fine, hvite sykepleieruniformen er det ingenting som tyder på at hun er noe annet enn et godt menneske. Men skinnet kan bedra. Hun stirrer på seg selv i speilet, med mørke ringer under øynene og blod på hendene. Pulsen dunker mens hun lytter etter politisirenene. Hun har brutt alle reglene en sykepleier bør følge. Hun ville bli kvitt noen, og nå er de døde. Og det er hennes skyld.

For bare et par måneder siden var mit liv enkelt. Mine dage gik med at pleje mine patienter under hospitalets sterile lys. Hver dag efter arbejde hentede jeg min søn i børnehaven, lavede mad til min mand og nød hvert eneste øjeblik med dem. Men nu er alting forandret. Jeg kan ikke genkende mig selv længere. Jeg er blevet en løgner. Jeg gjorde det for at beskytte min familie. En dag, da jeg kommer hjem, står hun der: en kvinde med langt, lyst hår og perfekte, hvide tænder. Hun er den eneste, der kender min hemmelighed, og jeg ved, hvorfor hun er kommet. Hun vil have hævn.

I used to enjoy my job. I was good at it and felt fulfilled. I also used to enjoy spending time with the people I worked with. They say you spend more time with your work colleagues than you do with your family members, but that was fine by me because I made two very good friends at the office. I also allowed myself to get a little too close to my boss, but I soon realised that was a mistake. Unfortunately, it was too late by then, and as my personal and professional lives quickly blurred into one, that was when everything changed.
