Chapter 37 - The Reason For The Move

I guess you want to kill but you don't want to die, Eden scoffed. My father isn't my real father, turns out the first one wasn't either, Eve looked up and said slowly, what do you mean by that, Eden and Louise turned to her.

When I was little, my dad used to touch me inappropriately, everywhere went silent, I knew something was wrong so I tried to tell mom, but he would threaten constantly so I didn't dare to do that, Eve sobbed. He'd get drunk and do things to me, if I wasn't at home he'd send something to look for me, her lips quivered.

All I prayed for as a kid, was to get out of that ridiculous situation, then God answered my prayers. My brother got back early that day, dad had no idea, and I also had no idea that he was going to go too far that day, she sobbed, hot tears falling from her eyes. Timothy heard my muffled screams, when he saw what was going on, he screamed and charged at him, throwing him off the bed, dad threw him across the room, shattering a mirror. When he began beating Timothy up, just because he tried to help me, I couldn't take it, Timothy was always my favorite person in the world.

I followed my instinct, picking up the biggest shard of glass and driving it into his neck, Eve stared blankly at no where in particular. That was my first kill, and I didn't even feel bad about it, instead I wondered how a dad would do that to his daughter almost daily for years, no matter how drunk he was, she gulped and tried to stop her voice from breaking.

I was so relieved he was gone, when Timothy told my mom what had been going on, she seemed so calm come to think about it, she might have known the whole time, she giggled. Oh my gosh, why didn't you tell me when this was happening, I would have killed him for you, Eden sobbed. They all had solemn looks on their faces. So why are you telling me this, your dad deserved what he got, but what about all those innocent people, Eden cut in.

Let me finish, Eve took a deep breath.

Yesterday I stumbled on some suspicious papers in my parents study, which basically disrupted my life. Turns out my parents adopted me, or rather I was forcefully taken from my birth parents, because they couldn't pay a huge debt fifteen years ago, she teared up again. I always wondered how your mom knew my middle name, she stared intently at Eden, my birth parents came to London looking for me, they found my whereabouts and they finally had enough saved up, so they came looking for me, but I. B-ut I, but you what, Eden yelled, but I killed them, she broke down in tears. I'm your sister Eden, we're triplets, that's why we have a striking resemblance, I'm so sorry, I killed our parents, she choked on her tears and cried uncontrollably.

Eden and Louise too stunned to speak, Jeremy gasped with his hand over his mouth. Eden stumbled back, falling into Triston's arms, who was no less shocked. What are we going to do now, he asked Eden as they took a stroll in the forest, worry for her clear in his eyes as she squeezed his hand tightly. I don't know, she replied blankly, helplessness clear in her tone.

No wonder, no matter how much I tried to beg and dissuade mom about coming here, she didn't have it even for a second. Who would've thought that the one in which they wanted to come here so desperately, would be the one to take their lives, she closed her eyes tight and took a deep shaky breath. I don't know what to do Triston, her voice shook, would mom want one of her daughters to die, that too by another one's hands, and by the way if I kill them would'nt that make me just like them, she desperately looked for a reason to abort the mission. I don't, I d-on't know w-what to do Triston, p-please, please tell me what to do, she sobbed as she embraced him tightly as if her life depended on the hug, she buried her face deep into his chest, his vanilla scent filling her nostrils. Triston froze for a second, he could feel her heart pounding furiously through her clothes, he slowly hugged her back stroking her hair slowly.

If there's anyone who can make the right decision about this, it's you Eden, he whispered before putting his hand down. Eden caught his hand, and led it back to her hair, please let's stay like this for a while, she sobbed. Triston couldn't help but feel her pain, finding out the one who killed your parents is your twin sister was alot, that's why she was acting so clingy and vulnerable, which was out of character for her.
