Get down from the car, Eve yelled, Esmereldas eyes widened as she turned to see Eve holding Maria at knife point, and Samuel pinned down at the door by Louise. W-what are you doing Eve, Esmerelda stuttered in a low tone, lower the knife Eve, we got what we came here for. Eve slit Marias throat in a flash, blood splattering on the black car, earning a gut wrenching cry from Samuel. Eden covered her eyes, and Esmerelda stumbled back in awe.
Eve and Louise laughed out hysterically. You know, I didn't think it'd be so easy to fool you, she started, you should have listened to your brother he's really smart, then maybe his girlfriend wouldn't be dead right now. Did you really think I'd let my two best friends go to jail, now, because of your stupidity, you're all gonna die, she said and looked over to Louise who immediately snapped Samuels neck. Samuel, Esmerelda screamed out crying uncontrollably as she ran to him and held him. Don't worry dear Esme, you'll soon reunite with them okay, she baby talked her and puckered her lips, you're not gonna get away with this, if you kill Marcus his dad is definitely gonna find out what happened, you'll pay for killing my brother and his girlfriend, she screamed wailing, my parents won't rest until they find us, you're not the only rich ones.
Eve snapped her head to Marcus who was sitting in the drivers seat, quiet and terrified the whole time. That's right, Marcus baby, do you also want to die, or do you want to join us and live happily with me forever. Marcus shivered as he turned to look at Eve, who was running her bloody knife around his face. O-o-of course I'll stick with you, he stuttered and forced a shaky smile, yaay, she clapped and hopped in place. Hear that bitch, my man is with me, and your stupid parents can't do shit, now, no one is going to save you, she let out another crazy laugh.
Eden slowly got down from the car staggering all the way up to Eve, she held her hand up in protest when Louise tried to help her. She couldn't understand what was going on, her body was giving out, she was in a whirlpool of emotions and couldn't comprehend her surroundings, but most of all, she couldn't believe her only bright light in this dark world, Eve was also a murderer. Why did you do it Eve, she whispered under a shaky breath. I did it for you Eden, she said holding onto Edens shoulders, I knew you could never kill me, but you'll have to perform the ritual sooner or later, so I brought a sacrifice. Sacrifice, Eden repeated, in tears, her voice shaking asked she shrugged Eves hands off her shoulders. Esmerelda is a living breathing human, not a sacrifice, you even killed her brother and his girlfriend, you would also have killed your boyfriend if he didn't agree to be on your side. Eden paused, looking at Louise before looking back at Eve, you're just like him, you're a monster. Everyone who's important to me in this world, my parents, Louise, you, you're all monsters. I will not kill, I will not become one of you. Eden shaded herself with her hand, as the headlight of a car pulling in flashed on them.
Speak of the devil, she scoffed and said. My baby, Everleigh exclaimed running over to Eden and enveloping her in a tight forced hug, get off me, she yelled and pushed her mom off. Get off, she cried, you people are terrible, who forces their child to kill someone, she said looking over at her dad. Dad, I know you're a good person, you're not like these people don't make me do this please, she hugged him and cried. This is what we do for our riches dear, if we don't kill we will die, that's the deal our ancestors made, I'm pretty sure you don't want to die baby, so you're gonna have to do this. Eden backed away looking defeated, but she isn't my best friend, Eden let out. I'll explain that to you, Eve volunteered beaming, you probably don't remember this, she started, but you, me, and Esmerelda use to be besties when we were younger. We drifted apart when Louise pushed her brother down the stairs, then she straight up stopped talking to us when you started dating Louise. That's why, when she thought I was feeling guilty for everything she couldn't stop herself from helping me, she said with a pout, then burst out laughing, she's an idiot.
A loud scream ripped through the woods as Eve threw a knife piercing into Esmereldas leg, as she tried to run away. Wait, she said to Louise who was about to go after her, she's mine, she said as she strolled off towards Esme who was still trying to get away. Run faster Esme, faster, Eve giggled in excitement following behind. Caught you, she yelled out in front of Esme, who fell down to the ground. I'll just take my knife, she said pulling out her knife stepping on and twisting her already bleeding wound, earning cries and screams from Esme. She moaned to the sounds Esme was making, don't make those sounds if you don't want to fuck me, she squatted down and said, it makes me really horny you see, I want Marcus baby to take me right here right now, but you see that's not possible right now, so no more screaming okay, she smiled and wriggled her finger.
We're back, Eve said, dragging Esmerelda by her hair out of breath, she's not going to run away again, that knife throwing class really came in handy, right Mrs king, she said and giggled. The time has come Eden, Everleigh announced, you have to kill your friend now, so you can live in riches. Come on Marcus, come and watch, Eve excitedly brought Marcus to where they were, this is my boyfriend Mr and Mrs king, she said and hugged his arm, you guys look cute together, they replied.
I hand you this knife in order to take the future into your own hands, live long, prosper and be happy, Everleigh said and handed her the knife. Now, at the count of three you have to stab the sacrifice, she continued, now all together, she said directing them to count in unison. Three, two, one, Eden, they all screamed as she stabbed herself in the chest, Louise ran and caught her in his arms, blood gushed from her mouth as she choked and gasped for air. They all gathered around her tears in their eyes, her dad holding her hand, her mom holding her other hand, Eve stroking her hair, I guess she made her final decision, Dustin said within sobs. Eden, Louise yelled as she took her last breath, hugging her tightly as if to bring her back.
Beep..beep..beep, what's that sound, Eden thought to herself as she regained consciousness. Not again, she whispered as her eyes fluttered open, trying to adjust to the light. Eden, said a familiar male voice, aunty, uncle, Earl, she's awake, Triston yelled. Tears glistened in her eyes, when she noticed it was Triston. Eden, they all gathered crying, you're finally awake, Eden pushed herself to a sitting position with Tristons help, and hugged her family tightly bursting into tears, I'm so sorry for doing that, I don't want to be rich I want to stay here with you guys. I don't want another family, I didn't mean it, I'm so sorry, she screamed and sobbed, she thought she saw Pastoria smiling at her, but she was too confused to tell if it was real or not. It's okay baby, we know you didn't mean it, next time please look both ways before crossing, her mom said, yes please, everyone replied in unison and laughed.
The End
