My eyes quickly darted around to find something to break into the safe with. I saw a crowbar nearby on the ground, so I snatched it up and banged on the door of the safe.
The children's voices started getting louder, until one female voice took over. "Hi. I am Susie." The voice said calmly. I ignored the voices and kept hitting the door. "I will help you get in." She called out to me.
I paused, as did the rest of the mumbling children. The door flung open. There were 10 purple jars, but one glowed a color I didn't expect. It was a bright orange, with a yellow hue. It looked as if you liquified flames.
"Those are my remains." The girl, 'Susie', stated. "But.. I-" before I could ask why the remnant was this color, Susie answer. "This is the only thing that can kill you." She replied. I quickly grabbed the bar and searched for a syringe . "Wait." The voice said.
"It will only work on heartless souls. And you, y/n, have a heart precious as gold." Susie said in a calming tone. "But William is a monster. Heartless, never to love or be loved." She growled in a low manner.
"There is a syringe in the drawer to your right. Do the right thing. Get revenge." The girl rambled.
"So.. you want me to kill my first love..?" I trembled, holding the glass jar in my hand.
.

.
."So you can hear them too?" I heard a British voice ask. William was leaning on a work bench next to the door. He was about 10 feet away, but could easily walk right up to me with his long legs.
My head snaps to look the man in the eyes. I quickly fumble over to the drawer Susie told me about and grab the syringe, opening the glass jar filling it with the orange substance.
"You know what this does? It will kill you. And here I've got it." My voice trembles out, still trying to sound confident. "Kill me?! Rather 'melodramatic' aren't we?" He chuckles, mocking my words from when I had told him I hated him. Acting as if it wasn't the truth.
But nonetheless, I stay completely silent, holding the needle up as my 'weapon'. "Mind if my smoke?" He asks pulling a cigarette and lighter out of his pants pocket. "Smoke?!" I say in a bit of a louder confused and angry tone.
"I always smoke before dramas. Always seems to enhance the performance." He shrugs, looking off to the side. "Sure. You can do anything you please, William. But you have very little time to do so. Because you may find this funny now, but I won't hesitate to jab this into your veins." I glare.
His eyes widen in surprise as his brows furrow. "You.. you mean your actually going to kill me..?!" He says in anger, but mostly doubt. "I mean just that." I say, fixing my posture.
He stops, looking as if he's thinking, then looks me in the eyes once again. His features suddenly soften. "Well, go ahead." He challenges with a blank expression.
"I-I'll do this my own way." I say hesitantly, raising my hand with the weapon up more. "Why?" He asks, playing dumb. "Don't be smart with me, 'Dave'." I mock.
His faulty innocent look soon turns to a sinister grin. "Look, You already know my purpose in being here. Now you'll either explain or I'll kill you!" I yell slightly, then breathing in softly. "You have 10 minutes." I say, looking up at a clock.
It is currently 7:23PM.
"You won't do it." William stares blankly, taking a few steps forward. I back up a bit as well, William now being only 4 feet away from me.
"You can't kill me. You can do it because you love me." He says blankly once again, stepping forward even more.
"It takes a very cold woman to do that
Y/N. And I don't think you can." He whispers, still walking towards me. I repeat our last steps, walking backwards more the closer he got. But, I was suddenly backed into a wall. William now only being 2 feet away."Isn't that true?" He questions, looking down at me. I sit in silence. He leans in close to my ear "Isn't that why your waiting?" He whispers. "T-that's not true.." I mumble. "Oh!" He springs up.
"Or is it how you'd like to watch your victim? You want my heart to constrict with agony, my hands to tremble?! You'd like for me to plead for my life so you can make a 'generous jester' and spare me!" He says out of anger, his tone slowly raising in volume.
He lets out a breathy and shaky sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Well sorry y/n, I don't seem to be in the mood for prayers tonight." He grits his teeth, looking back down at me.
"You don't think I'll do it?! That's why you're so brave. You don't think I'll do it.! You wouldn't be so brave otherwise! You're a coward at heart... You lied to me, you deceived me!" I shout, leaning closer to him while glaring into his eyes.
"You tried to deceive me!" He glares back, getting closer to my face as well as even more anger floods out of him like a boiling pot. "I'm sick of listening to you!" I turn, holding my ears like a child.
He grabs my arm and spins me back around to be face to face with him. "You gave me your heart you know.." he says knotting his eyebrows. "You'd like me to hand it back, but I won't." He snarls.
"You've lived a long time y/n, an eternity without me. You have looked into the faces of passersby's hoping for something that will, for an instant, bring me back to you!" He yells, pushing my arm away and standing tall. "You will find the night sky strangely empty, because when you call my name there will be no answer. No hope that I could maybe, possibly, be out there. Mourning and waiting for you as well."
"Always your heart will be aching for me, and your mind will even still give you the slight doubtful constellation that you did something brave to honor the dead children." He growls.
"You dare to talk of the kids." I grit my teeth. "What else do we have to talk about?!" He raises his voice. We both go silent, staring into each others swelling eyes. "For me there will never be another woman I love true but you, but for my heart there is another love that will always come before you. My life work and research." He stares in hatred.
I freeze, trembling while tears absentmindedly stream down my pink cheeks. "You're so still." William speaks out; his features becoming as soft as the first day we met. "Your face is like ice" he says as he gives me a look of acknowledge.
"What are you thinking, y/n?" He says, leaning closer to my face knowingly this time.
"Why does anything I can say matter?! You've betrayed me with words; what good are words if your heart is breaking..?! If I fail killing you now, I deserve to die. You've tricked me into loving you." I say lowly in a still angered tone. "Aren't you forgetting you came here for the same purpose?" He reminds me, his face still blank.
"I could never betray you, I tried to tell you before we departed that pitiful day. You had recently told me you already knew! I've been as honest as I know how to be!" More tears started pouring out of my eyes. This time coming out more as a sob.
"You think I wanted to love you?! Knowing what dispair and misfortune it would bring my life?! Even after knowing the whole town, including my own family, wanted to watch me get publicly executed?! Don't you suppose every hour we were together, in the back of my mind I was thinking 'what if she's just pretending, going to leave me like everyone else'?!" He yells. "I WASN'T!" I cry out.
"I LOVED YOU!" I tremble, the tears making it heard to speak. "AND I LOVED YOU SO MUCH I LET YOU DESTROY OUR LIVES!" He yelled much louder. "Because.. you brought something to my days. I.. couldn't stand the thought of losing you." He mumbled out. The tension was so thick you could cut right through it, out mouths refusing to utter another word first.
"Listen to your heart, y/n. Feel it's hatred for that disgusting excuse for a man." Susie called out. My eyes locked onto the clock, as I noticed there were just a few seconds until 7:33. "Your time is up." I glare up at his upset eyes. A single tear rolled down his cheek. "Then my last words, I love you y/n." He said closing his eyes. I grit my teeth in disbelief. "YOU'RE DETERMINED TO DIE WITH A LIE ON YOUR LIPS?!" I yell, stabbing William in the neck. The liquid runs through his veins as he falls to the ground. Regret floods over me as I fall to my knees shaking his limp body.
"W-William this isn't funny.." I force out a chuckle. I feel for his pulse and..He was really still..
alive..?
