Run! | Eva Swarm

Y/N
I woke up again. But the sun is nowhere to be seen. This time, my body felt weak. My head aches. I can't even get out of bed. I remember everything. Eva knows I'm a murderer. Eva knows I killed her friend.

My heart dropped when Eva walked into the room with a smile on her face. She noticed my open eyes and chuckled.

"Oh? Awake already? Good," She whispered not wanting to cause a disturbance.

I tried moving my legs but it only made small moves. As if my muscles were stuck. I couldn't even scream. She definitely gave me something that made me paralyzed. I wouldn't be surprised if she wants to kill me.

"Sh.. Sh... Stop trying to move so much. It won't happen. Don't be scared, I'm not going to kill you," She smiled again now staring into me. Her hands caress my head. Softly and slowly like I'm something fragile.

I can feel my heart pumping and beating. Even if she tried convincing me to not be afraid, my body still tries to resist her. Trying to be far from her as possible. It's almost like they know she's dangerous.

"It's my birthday today. Don't you remember? Aren't you happy to see me get older? I've been dying to be 21, you know,"

I don't fucking care. Even if my body isn't paralyzed, I still wouldn't be able to leave just like that. She could kill me. If I kill her first, I would have to kill the others too. And it will be too risky. Do they even know Eva is a fucking psycho?

My bland reaction didn't amuse her. Even though, she was the one who made me this way.

"Yikes, bad mood huh? Let me make you go back to sleep. Hopefully, that mood of yours will go on time as the celebration," She sighed pulling out a needle out of her pocket.

I tried again. I moved my body countless times. Hoping that a miracle would happen. But miracles happen to good people. Not people like me. And by the time Eva pulled the needle out of my skin, I could feel myself drift away to sleep.

"Wakey wakey," A voice called out right beside my ear. My heart thumped, surprised. It's cricket, thank god. I try to move my limbs and it fucking worked.

"It's Eva's birthday today, we want to celebrate it in the woods," She smiled. Even if I want Cricket to help me escape, I have a feeling that she knows exactly what Eva is. Yes, I'm also somewhat crazy but I have a reason to be that way. Eva has been weird since the day I met her.

"Oh. I'm not sure I can go," I say innocently. If they leave me alone here, I can surely escape without them knowing.

Cricket raises her eyebrows at me. "What do you mean you can't go? We're all ready, we're just waiting for you," In the corner of my eye, I can see Cricket's hands forming into fists

"I just- I can't go," I sighed. Wanting her to leave as soon as possible. "Don't make it harder, Y/N. I know you know exactly what would happen if you don't join us," She spat in a lower voice. So, I was right. Everyone here knows about Eva's crazy personality.

I silently nod and stood up to follow Cricket. Her demeanor changed from demanding back to herself. Her calm and collected self.

We walked for what may be 30 minutes into the woods. I can feel myself getting more aware of each step. Aware of the surroundings. Aware that I might die today. It made my body weaker. My heart pumping faster and faster.

We reached our destination. A really small farmhouse with about ten people around. They all sat in a circle, meditating. Or they might be praying. There's something in the middle of them. But I can't see what it is from afar. In front of the farmhouse gate, 2 girls are standing. Probably guarding it.

"Wait here, don't go anywhere. Girls, watch her," Cricket stopped me from walking in then ran towards Eva and the others. I can slightly see Eva grinning and whispering something to Cricket.

After the conversation, they walked together to me. My heart raced faster.

"Y/N, you're finally awake. You must've been really tired, huh?" She laughed. At that point, I wanted to come at her. Strangle her and kill her. But a lot of people are around. I'm not that quick at killing people.

She puts her arm around me, guiding me to the circle of girls. Cricket and those 2 other girls followed behind. When we got closer, a strong smell burned my nose. Something fruity but at the same time rotting.

The fear I had immediately crashed back as I see a dead person in the middle of the circle. Just laid there, naked. Blood dripped down her whole body. Scratches from what I assume must be a knife are everywhere from the top of her face down to her feet. My stomach ached and I wanted to puke.

What made it even worse is no one else are reacting. They all smiled like it was normal.

"Isis said she wanted my birthday to be special. So her birthday gift to me is for me to do any sort of experiment on her. I was always fascinated by how the skin reacts to knives. I did just that to her. However, I wasn't satisfied. So, I cut open the top of her head to see the skull. Do you see that? It's beautiful,"

The lump in my throat begging to be let out is screaming. I did what any normal person would do. I tried to run. I looked back to see Eva just smiling at me. Even stopping everyone from catching me

That wasn't a good move. There's a big pile of logs and I tripped. It hurt badly. My ankle stung when I tried to stand up and run again. Now limping, I dragged myself out of this insane place. But the gate feels so far away. I can hear Eva laughing maniacally.

"Girls, you know what to do,"
