Today is the day. The "Killing of the Gods" was today. I got up fighting the tears that dared to come out of my eyes. Nova gracefully walked towards me.
"Miss, I'm afraid it's time," said Nova.
"Yes, hand me a black dress," I asked.
"Yes, Miss" her voice cracked and I could tell she was about to cry. I could do nothing to help, cause if I did then I would start crying as well. She handed me a black dress that went to the knee then flared out in the back. It stops in a solid color to the chest. From my wrist to my neck it has a beautiful pattern. I put my hair behind me and the front hair curled. I walked out of my room to meet my family. Alev, my Dad, Courtney, my Mom, Klev, my big brother, and Alexander, my little brother. They didn't move or hug me.
Courtney had some black flowers and in the middle was a Beautiful black rose.
"Isabella, here," Mom said, handing me the flowers.
"Thanks, Courtney," out of them all she wasn't smiling. She looked sad.
"Yeah, Yeah," she said.
"Isabella" a man called. I turned around and there was Noah, the newsman.
I sighed and walked to him. "Yes, Noah" I smiled.
"We need you, now" He pointed to the door.
I nodded my head and walked. I opened the door and there was a huge crowd. I smiled and waved. I looked at the car that was mainly for me. I got in and quickly blinked the tears back. This ride was is to the deadly cave of the beast.
Beast. I forgot I had to meet the beast. The tears started to roll down my cheek. I whipped them up quickly. So help me I'm not crying today, I thought. Noah got in the car as well. He put his elbows on his knees and his fist to his mouth. I've never seen him like this before.
"Okay, I have some rules for you"
"Rules for being sacrificed, funny, huh, Noah" he raised his hand and slapped me.
"IT'S NOT JUST FOR A SACRIFICE, ISABELLA" he screamed. I cupped my cheek-the one he had slapped- and looked at him, angry. "IT'S FOR THE GODS, MISS FUNMM"
"Yea, then, GET SOMEONE ELSE, NOAH LINE" I raised my hand to slap him this tie but he caught it beforehand.
"The people chose you, Isabella Funmm," he said softly again, now. I blushed red. "The rules are; you have to keep walking until you find the beast or the beast finds you" he smirked as my eyes wide.
"So, BEHAVE YOURSELF" he slapped me again. This time I was close to tears. After a few moments, he laughed. Then, I knew why I was crying, without noticing it. I covered my face and quickly wiped the tears off my face. Goddamn prick, he wanted to see me cry, I thought. He chuckled.
"FOR GOD'S SAKE STOP LAUGHING, YOU PRICK" I screamed. His smug face turned to hatred as I hoped it would.
"YOU, BITCH, ISA" He grabbed me by my hair and yanked me towards him. I was scared now. Because he was much bigger and stronger than me. He yanked me to his lap. My head faced his as he pulled me closer to his face, while he was smirking. This time I let the tears go.
"Now I know why they chose you," he said.
"G-GET AWAY FROM ME, PRICK" I screamed, the tears still rolling down my face.
"Guess I'll taste your lips" he smirked.
I froze. He's not saying what I think he's saying, right. He leaned his head towards me pursing his lips. I shook in fear. He closed the gap between us. I've never kissed a boy before, I thought. Then right at that moment, a knock came at the door. I was so thankful for that.
The door opened and there was a man.
"Uh, am I interrupting something?" the man asked.
"Ye-"
"NO, not at all." I cut Noah off.
Noah growled at me and I just kept my smile on as best as I could. See who's a bitch now, prick, I thought. I got up quickly and walk out, no longer crying. Everyone cheer as I stepped onto the stage, As did Noah.
I no longer thought of him as the sweet man on the news. Now I thought of him as a pervert and a prick, who is money and lust hungry.
"Today is a special day," Noah said, at the mick. The crowd cheered so loudly that I almost became deaf. "Are you guys ready for the "Killing of the god" he yelled. He walked to me slowly still having that disgusting smirk on his face. "Time for your speech, honey"
"Good morning lovely people of Saln. I am Isabella Funmm, and I am grateful that you lovely subjects choose me." I said raising my hands. The crowd cheered louder than when Noah was speaking. See, Bitch, I'm the one that's getting their attention now, I thought. "Soon I will be sent to the cave and face the beast." Again the crowd shouted. I waved and let Noah take the lead, although I didn't want to. I didn't pay attention until he said,
"Now it's time to send Miss Isabella to the Cave." I was hooked. Wait, that was too fast, no, help. I kept the smile on my face as two men came up to me. They grabbed me and walked me to the cave. I was crying. Somehow I noticed I still had the flowers Courtney gave me, they're still in my hands. I was forced to walk so I did.
"Help me, gods. I don't wanna die like this." I cried, I looked at the black Flowers as I walked. I saw the black rose. I picked it up and kissed it.
I heard a growl and looked behind me. It was already dark, wow. I still had to keep walking through. I let myself cry. Then I felt dizzy. My eyes couldn't stay open and I fell.
