Darkness Prevails

Revenge

Zuniper walked home silently. Contemplating how to kill her brother. It had to be when he was in the kitchen or somewhere with fire. She entered the house, it was empty or so she thought. She kicked off her shoes and ventured deeper into the colossal of a house. She heard the annoyingly familiar video game beeps and gunfire. So her deadbeat brother was home. She walked into the den and noticed a lit candle dangerously close to his elbow...perfect.

"Hello brother."

"Hey Calla."

"You know very well that's not my name."

"Do I?" He said tauntingly.

"Yes you do. Issaac."

"Yes fine Zuniper"

"Was that so hard?"

"Excruciating. " Isaac drawled. "Now leave me be. I'm playing a game."

Zuniper looked at the flaming candle and willed the flame to jump onto her brothers hemp bracelets and sweater. He went up in flames in mere seconds. His screams washing over her like music. His screams for help went unanswered as she closed the door, scooped up her cat and left the house. No one would know she'd been there. She visualized herself next to Nexis and she disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. She appeared in the park. There sat Nexis below an Oak tree.

"So killing your brother went as planned?"

"Yes, had a candle going beside him. It was an...accident. It will be labeled as tragic and the town will forget Isaac Mitchell."

Killing seemed to come too easily to Zuniper. For years she pretended she was just like Calla...but she wasnt, and she never would be. Zuniper, was evil and it was time she embraced it.

"Nexis, how did it feel." Zuniper whispered as she stroked her cat's head.

"How did what feel Zuni?"

"Killing..."

"Wrong at first, but I learned to enjoy it." Nexis said smiling. "The only kill I regretted afterward was that of my Nanny"

"You killed Matild?"

"She was shagging my dad. She was in the bed when it caught fire. I didn't have much choice I didn't have the control I have now. "
