My Apocalypse - To Live Or To Die

Chapter 6

"I-I mean" I try to say but I'm forced to stop as I can't seem to form words fast enough for all the thoughts forming in my head. After staying silent for a few minutes I'm able to form words. 

"Why did you wait so long before telling somebody, I mean how many people did you play nice to, and let your mom fatten them up knowing they were going to get mauled and eaten to death all while alive too," I smile "I mean that's cold even for you."

"Reminds me of that very old story, what was it called" I sucked my teeth as I think "Hansel and Gretel that's the story's name. Yknow the one where they get lost in the forest, find the little candy house where they meet the witch who plays nice while she fattens them up to cook and eat them except, in this story, it wasn't one but 3 little witches. So that brings us back to why did you decided to wait so long to break that cycle" I corner her.

"I-I didn't want them to die, I didn't want my mom and dad to do that I-at first I didn't know, they tricked me making me think they left me, going back outside to the world" she rushed out moving her hands while talking the speed of light.

"Oh so because you were angry and too much of a pussy you ignored all the obvious signs that something was happening because you were sad they left?" I mock her

"I'm sorry I didn't-" I cut her off, "shut up, fuck you never shut up, can't even think" I exhale. "And I'm not the one that you need to apologize to. Apologize to the corpse rotting in your basement I'm sure there's plenty" I glared at her. Before continuing.

"I'm going to leave as soon as I wake" I plan out loud knowing I can't stay here. "What? Leave? I don't want you to. I told you so you could stay but be mindful. I like yo- your company and I thought we could be friends" she rushes out in distress.

"You didn't get out much before this did you?" I say like she's stupid. "I mean no I was homeschooled and my parents paid more attention to my sister than me so I guess" she awkwardly smiles.

"I'm sorry to break it to you like this kid, but no sane person would ever stay here with you after finding that out"

"What- why I told you the truth" she says honestly confused

Causing me to laugh "How old are you?" "18" she cringes

"I guess being 18 really doesn't make you an adult cause you are awfully childish and immature," I say straight-faced and serious. "Oh and let's not forget fucking dumb" I add

"That's a mean thing to say," she says, sounding sad. To which I grimace. "One more thing do you honestly fucking think that if survivors eventually stop coming here that they won't fucking feed you to that thing you guys keep like a pet?" I spit out wanting to hear her dumbass answer.

"They wouldn't do that, they love me" she actually muttered out her mouth. "Oh god you're really slow aren't you" I laugh slowly.

"They wouldn't," she says, trying to convince herself.

"They.. they wouldn't?" She says stuck

"Oh yes, they would. What do you think would happen when kids like me stop making their way over here? did you honestly think that if the kids stopped coming that they wouldn't think to feed you to that thing? They definitely wouldn't carve a piece of their skin out to feed her, cause if they would they would've done that. They don't care that your their daughter, they obviously don't give a shit that you're their flesh and blood, and from what I've seen since being here they don't give a shit about you!" I harshly shive my finger in her chest "get that through your dumb fucking head, and get over it. They wouldn't take a second before choosing to cut steaks out of your skin to feed to her daily, and how long do you think you would last getting pieces cut out of you like origami? You should've seen that from a mile away, now enough chit-chat bring me to the basement. Now." I say as I bring out my knife 

Making her visibly gulp "What do you need that for," she says shakenly "I'm gonna kill it," I say letting her know "Kill her, you can't kill my sister," she says making me laugh "That shit ain't your sister it's maybe a cannibal and an undead monster but if ain't your fucking sister." I say the truth. "If it was your sister she wouldn't be chained up in the basement feeding on humans now would she."

"I-i know but I can't stand her down there by herself chained up like an animal forced to lose her mind, she is my sister...at least once she was." She tries to make me understand but I don't. "I'll leave tomorrow after killing her. I just want to let you know before I disappear," I warned her. "Why can't you stay here?" she says like she is about to cry.

"Don't start with the waterworks" I say seriously "I'm not the comforting type so you'd have to go to someone else, your sister maybe? She'd probably be good at it if she decided not to eat you" I say emotionless.

"Why would you say something like that" She actually starts crying

"Oh god please stop crying, I'm sorry alright I didn't mean it,"

Ok I kinda did but that's because it's true ain't nothing to lie about

"If you really didn't want me to leave you could always come with me" I Suggested to make her stop crying "What?" She hiccups as she wipes her eyes. "You could come with me," I repeat seriously "What? I couldn't leave my parents here" I know she just making excuses

"I'm sure they can fend for themselves and their little abomination of a pet" I sneer "I couldn't"

"Then have fun alone here, I won't even wait for first light," I say walking around the room as I pack my stuff up, cleaning out the trash in my bag and replacing it with my newly acquired clothes. "I thought we were becoming friends?"

"Yea me too before I found out you were a crazy baiter of humans for your still wanna-be sister"

"Since you want some freedom I'll kill your parents along with your sister," I suggest that so she could have a chance at freedom.

"Wait no that's not what I want" she rushes out

"Why I mean you'd be able to live your life and actually be able to live and not for them but for you, even with everything going on you could explore," I say confused about how she wouldn't want that
