Sunsets POV

"WHERE AM I YOUR WHORE." The man shouted. He looked really hurt. I seen it more times than fingers on my hand.

" Shoot him sun."

" But mom-?"

" Shoot him."

I look towards the man and his pleading eyes.

" I cant." I lowered the gun to the floor.

" Shoot him sunset."

That tone of voice sent shivers through me. I raised the gun.

BANG

The mans body went still In the chair he was tied too.

" Good job baby." Mother said smiling, " how do you feel?"

I stood there, terrified, staring at the man and the bullet hole in his head. I shakenly dropped the gun and just stared.

" Sun?"

" Sun."

" SUN."

I come back to earth. My mother is holding my face in her hands.

"Let's walk..." she kisses my forehead and grabs my hand.

" I remember when I killed someone for the first time." She speaks staring off into nothing. Her face is flat and dull. We walk up old creeky wooden stairs to the basement door. She opens it and allows my to walk through first.

" Your hands are still shaking sunny." She says with a hint of concern." What you did is good, don't feel sad."

Don't feel sad. I JUST KILLED A MAN AND YOU WANT ME TO NOT FEEL SAD. AND OF ALL DAYS MY BIRTHDAY. WTH.

" Sun?"

" What did he do anyway." I say leading the way to the only safe place in this house. My room.

" Nothing but you know we need him for our work."

" Your work." I correct. I feel the heat rise. We're gonna have this conversation again aren't we. Shit.

" Sun. Its our families business." She says scoldingly.

" Cult. It's a cult mother." I say walking a little faster forcing her to let go of my hand. She, unfortunately, matches my pace.

" Yes and a business. You have no choice, you are going to join and understand. Or you yourself will be the next death. Okay?" She says taking her her hand in mine again.

" Okay. Just I need to sleep. I'll get diner later. I love you." I say not even waiting for a response and run to my room. I know what's happening later.

We live in a big house. Other cult members live here as well. My mother being the leader. Me being her eldest daughter alive should be the next leader. I refuse to. They worship a God with no name. His name is too "unworthy" for humans to speak. They use this houses basement as a worship room. It's not really even a basement, it's more of a floor under ground. And for sacrifices... they use human blood. Every birthday someone has to be killed. And my mother preforms the ritual by using their blood to "bath" the birthday person. It's a way to purify their soul and give someone else's instead. It's a way to give to the God without giving yourself.

At this point I'm in my room just pacing. I've always hated this cult and house and everything about my life. I am so worked up I didnt even notice Flo in the corner. One of my only friend and sister, even tho it's not by blood.

" Bad day?"

" I FUCKING KILLED A MAN WHAT DO YOU THINK?" I snap my head towards them.

" Don't be so hostile I was just wondering. I'm sorry to hear that."

" Sorry it's just, been a long day."

" Would a cupcake help?" She asks holding a small orange and yellow frosted cupcakes with colorful sprinkles. " It reminded me of you."

" Thank you... I needed this."

" Any time sunny." She smiles, " Now get some rest I'll be back later." She says walking to the door.

" Wait-" I say and she turns to face me.

"Yes?"

" In about 30 mins can you send Noah please."

" Yeah sure, I've got to go though. Bye." They barley wave and turn back to the door to open it.

" Bye I love you."

" love you too sis." She says, and shuts the door
