A dark figure appeared in the downpour of the storm, her eyes closed as she allowed the rain to hit her dark, soaking hair. That’s when another dark figure, slightly shorter than her, approached her in the rain.

“What’s wrong, Raven?” Jay asked.

“I’m fine. Just...thinking…” Raven answered her younger sister.

“About what?” A third person, Starling asked.

“What would it be like to kill the person who did wrong to me,” Raven answered, her tone devoid of emotion.

“Do you think you’re ready?” Jay asked.

Raven didn’t respond, instead, she nodded as her response. Jay knew by the look on her face that she was ready. It was the face she made when she was determined to end someone’s life. Starling smiled slightly, all of them had the exact madness of their youngest sister who lived in San Francisco. Raven opened her dark, blue, lifeless eyes and signaled for her sisters to set up everything they needed in the cellar.

Meanwhile, Raven trudged through the rain, the wind whipping her face and her damp, jet-black hair trailing behind her. A flash of lightning appeared and she broke into the house. Raven’s victim, Richard, was upstairs, sleeping. All of a sudden he heard a crash and a whimpering sound from downstairs. Richard grabbed his candle and walked down the stairs, a flash illuminated the dark living room. Something stood near him and dropped something on the floor. Richard leaned down and saw the lifeless corpse of his pet dog, Ruby.

“How does it feel to lose something so important to you?” A voice cold enough to chill his blood taunted.

Richard spun around, in the darkness, a figure of a woman sat on his couch. Her face was illuminated by the lightning. Richard’s eyes widened, the woman was none other than Raven. She smiled. It wasn’t a loving smile. It was sadistic and malicious. 

“R-Raven?" Richard stuttered, unaware if it was actually her.

Raven chuckled slightly, her soft laugh echoing through the quiet house. Richard wanted so badly to punch her in the face and run out of the house, but her gaze paralyzed him. Raven crept closer to Richard and the thunder drowned out his scream as she struck him on the head. Raven picked him up and carried him out of the house along with the carcass of his dead dog in his lap.

Meanwhile, her sisters had the cold, metal table set up along with the weapons in the box. They heard the cellar door open and Raven stepped in with the unconscious body of Richard. Jay clapped in astonishment, it had only been a few weeks since they started teaching her to make cream puffs and murder their victims and she was already a professional. Raven dropped Richard and began slicing the dog open and pinning it to the wall. Raven’s hair was hanging in her face, but due to it being so long and so damp, it gave her a sinister look. As Richard opened his eyes, he was met with a gruesome sight. His dog pinned to the wall, its’ entrails pouring out of its’ body. He felt himself wanting to sob and vomit at the same time, but a low, somewhat soothing voice stopped him from doing so.

“Well, Well, Well,” The voice cooed “if it isn’t the world's most perfect guardian.”

As this sentence was finished, Jay stepped into view. Her dyed lavender hair swirling behind her as she paced in front of his hound and then in front of him. Her green eyes meeting his dilated, hazel eyes.

“You didn’t think karma wouldn’t come for you, huh?” Another louder voice added, “Well you are sorely mistaken!” 

After the voice had spoken to him, Starling stepped into view. Her golden eyes staring straight into his soul. She was extremely intimidating and, well...scary. Her dyed sky-blue hair bouncing with her movement. She moved with a strut, circling Richard alongside Jay as if they were stalking their prey. 

“This is your punishment for everything you have done to me,” A quiet and intimidating voice hissed “I will make your last few moments on earth a living hell.” The voice growled the word ‘hell’.

Raven had stepped into view, her blue eyes making eye contact with him. She flashed that sadistic smile. The one he had seen while she was talking to him in the house. Richard tried to struggle, but his movement was restricted. Something was pinning him to the ice cold, metal straps. He heard Raven humming a tune very softly as she searched for something. Her sisters continued to taunt and break him down slowly. Jay and Starling were usually the ones torturing their victims and baking them, but this time it was the other way around.

“Richard, Richard, Richard is a dead man. He lived in others’ lies and now he’ll die and his cream puffs will taste divine.” Jay and Starling sang in unison.
Raven came back with a large knife, a syringe, a cloth, and a gauze. Jay and Starling watched curiously as their sister worked. Raven took the cloth and shoved it into his mouth, then she gripped his arm and twisted it backward, breaking the bone. Then she continuously hit his arm with the knife. 

“This is for every bit of suffering you put me through!” Raven shrieked in anger.

Jay and Starling backed away, watching the rage erupt out of their sister. Neither of them had ever seen Raven so furious before. 

“I can’t even count the numerous attempts that I made to kill myself before you showed up to our house!” Raven hissed over the stifled screams of Richard.

Jay couldn’t believe. The rage that had built up over the calmest sister she had was boiling over into a destructive character. Raven stopped as Richards' forearm was separated from his humerus. Raven began wrapping his humerus with gauze to keep him from bleeding out.

“I am sorry!” Richard yelped attempting to plead with the enraged woman.

Raven laughed a high pitch psychotic laugh, unlike any Jay or Starling had ever heard from her.

“Sorry?! How can you be sorry?! You put me through rape, mental abuse, physical abuse, and sexual assault! How the fuck can you be ‘sorry!?” Raven screeched stabbing the knife into his foot. 

Richard shrieked in pain as it tore through the muscle. Raven laughed her psycho laugh again. It was entertaining to see him suffer slowly. She turned to Jay and Starling, who were in the corner. 

“Do you have anything that I can use to make him suffer through this even more?” Raven asked.

“Yeah, there’s a lighter and a baseball bat,” Jay answered.

“Perfect,” Raven whispered, a huge grin on her face.

Raven grabbed the lighter out of the box and the baseball bat off of a shelf. Richard lay there perplexed on what she was going to do next. All he wanted was for her to kill him and put him out of his misery. She began humming that tune that she was humming earlier, she flipped open the lighter and lit the small flame. Then she smiled and jabbed the open flame onto what remained of his left arm and then on his right in a messy pattern. Hate. That was the only fuel to her rage.

“This is what cigarette burns feel like!” Raven growled.

Richard screamed in pain, but once again, it was stifled by the cloth being reinserted into his mouth. Raven then grabbed the baseball bat and began to beat him with it, breaking his legs then she grew bored of him whimpering in pain. He suffered just as much, if not, more than she had, which was fine by her.

“You can take over from here, I’ll bake the cream puffs. I think it’s your call to end his motherfucking life.” Raven spoke, sitting on the wooden table where they baked.

“You heard her,” Jay said to Starling “let’s kill him in the slowest way possible."

“Alrighty!” Starling spoke in a rather happy tone.

Jay grabbed fish hooks, twine, and a piece of shattered glass. Starling smiled and began jabbing the fish hooks with the twine tied around them into Richards’ jaw. Raven smiled and began clapping. Starling removed his clothing, other than his underwear and began to cut his skin with the glass. Richard gave up fighting and hung his head. Jay pulled the twine through his jaw, causing excruciating pain to jolt through his jaw. Starling grabbed the knife and cut around his eye, but the eye popped right out of the socket. Raven chuckled, cutting the optic nerve and squishing his eye in between her fingers. The amount of blood he was losing was killing him slowly.

“See you in hell!” Raven spoke as Richard took his final breath.

They unstrapped his body from the metal table and let Raven work her magic. Her filling was his blood which she dyed white, then she used the remains of his body, along with a hint of sugar to make it taste better. She had made it. Using strawberries to accent it. However, they still had some of his remains left over. Together, Raven, Starling, and Jay made assorted sweets, packed their things and left their small town.
