River of styx: Water turned blood (Book 1)

Chapter 13

"This body is going back to Tenby and would be given a proper burial. We aren't throwing his body away." Lesley suggested because both Michelle and Bryan's body were no where to be found and she just wanted John to be buried in the right way.

"Don't be silly. You want me to go to jail?" Sara knew she couldn't go back to town because if they saw the knife wound on John's dead body, she would be busted for sure. Lesley was always a loyal person at work and to their town she will definitely expose Sara.

"We aren't going back to that town!" Sara insisted

Lesley wanted to seem believable to Sara so she kept her cool and acted as if you won't tell on her but deep down she wanted Sara to be behind bars

"Look Sara, I won't tell on you. We are friends."

She sounded convincing but Sara was difficult to trick.

"You can't fool me. The second we get to town, you'll start blabbing out" Sara said

"I'm not gonna. There's no point anymore. Everyone is dead." Lesley kept on trying convincing Sara.

"Let's make use of where we came to. We cannot leave without making a change." Sara continued

"I'm not listening to you. You are so selfish."
Lesley began raising her voice

Lesley was about to turn the boat around so that they could leave when they still can.

"What are you doing?" Sara was curious to know

"I'm turning this boat around whether you like it or not." Lesley went on to grab the paddle. Sara collected the paddle immediately and flings it into the river

"We aren't going back"

In the process of both of them struggling, Sara tried pushing John's dead body into the water but Lesley didn't want his body to go. The boat tumbled into the river and they all fell into the bloody water

They both managed to swim back to the top. When Lesley got to the top, she search around for John's body but it was too hard to see. She kept on looking and saw his body floating on top of the water.

Sara wanted to get to John's body before Lesley so she hastened up. As Lesley placed her hands over John's body, Sara brought out her pocket knife instantly and stabbed lesley's arm.
"Argh!" Lesley cries in pain

Her blood splashed out and she felt the knife going deep into her bone. The pain was too much for Lesley and she pulled back

Don't make me go too far Lesley. Just listen to me." Sara sounded threatening. She pulled away strands of her hair stinking to her face.

"I won't stay here and listen to whatever you have to say. It's better for one of us to die."
Lesley's arm was bleeding vigorously into the water and the pain made her say anything that came to her mind.

"You are losing blood. Let me help you." Sara all of a sudden sounded as if she cared

"Stay away from me. You've always wanted me dead." Lesley yelled in return

"I'm sorry Lesley but I have to keep going on. You've been such a good friend to me. The lives of the people of our town now rest on my shoulders." Sara whispered in a lenient tone

"So what. You think you are a good person?" Lesley asked

"No.." before Sara could continue, Lesley interrupted

"After you find whatsoever, you will go back to town and start spilling bullshit that never happened so everyone will praise the brave Sara." Lesley states sarcastically

"I was trying to save you before, but it's better I leave you out here to die." Sara was furious by Lesley statement

"I'd rather die than to follow you and be your minion." Lesley was tired at this point and wished her death could come sooner. She couldn't bare Sara's bitter heart anymore. If it could end sooner, she would have preferred

"Burn in hell lesley." Sara face looked so cold as she said

Sara moved to where the boat was and turned it back to the right side singlehandedly

"You are the one to burn in hell asshole!" Lesley yelled from a distance.

Sara sat on the boat, grabbed on the paddle and sailed away. She didn't care about Lesley's well-being or what might happen to her. She wanted what as to be done to be done. She went alone to the land of the dead
