Onyx The Black-Hearted KILLER

Backstory Part 3

Later that day.

     She went to her house, wrote a letter to her mother, packed a small backpack with some changes of clothes, and a notebook, a couple pens, some markers (sharpies), an extra pair of shoes, and her favorite book, as well as a couple thousand dollars in cash that she found stashed in her parent's room. She re-entered her parent's room and set the letter on her mother's pillow. She then sat on the couch and waited for her parents to arrive from their meeting with her teachers. 15 Minutes later they arrive.

     They walk into the living room to find their delinquent daughter sitting on the couch with her feet up on the coffee table. "What happened to you?" her mother asked, "you used to be such an angel, you used to do so well in school, and now you're just scraping by! What happened sweetheart?" Onyx stood up to confront her parents.

     "Are you serious? Now you care, after your only child has snapped...how sad it must be to understand that you never realized that your only daughter was being bullied her whole life. And you only realize because you had a parent teacher meeting that THEY called for. I wonder what you learned... How does it feel to be on the outside? How does it feel to never know anything 'till it's thrown into your face? Hmm? Well this is what I've been feeling my whole life. I wouldn't expect you to understand."

     "Oh, Honey! My poor BABY! I-"

    "So it doesn't matter that those people you praise all the time tormented me for being different, for being an outcast. But I took the bullying because you didn't want to know, I took it because you wanted to be the perfect family with no problems, well guess what? I'm going to leave a perfect hole in this fucked up family. Because of this my arrangements at the funeral home just might be necessary."

     "NO! Honey killing yourself is not the answer! It never is! We love you honey! To the moon and back! The long way round!"

     "Well, 'Honey' the arrangements are not for me, because I'm not the one who's going to die, in fact I'll make this a fun puzzle...More than one person is going to die, I know them well, they know me not, they're great at acting, and they made me. Any guesses?"

     Her mom looked at her father then down at the floor.

     "I see you're smart enough to solve my riddle mother, but are you smart enough to survive what's coming for you?" She turned to her dad, "Father, any guesses?"

     "Your two best friends? Uh...Bella and Ali?"

     Onyx laughed, then smiled and said, "No father, those friends were mere figments of my imagination, if you wish you can do some research and find that there were no Bella's or Ali's at the school while I was there. Do you wish for one last clue or do you wish for your wife to tell you the solution to the riddle?"

     "Um I'll take the clue."

     "Final clue," she grinned, "is that the two who are going to die are in this room and are looking at me as if I was crazy."

     "I...I...it's...us?" her father stuttered out.

     "Who else would it be? I have no friends and the ones I did were just figments of my imagination; no family, that care anyway; and no loved ones, as I love no one...anymore. But because you are my parents I'm going to give you mercy and ask you a question...Do you wish for all your dreams to come true?"

     "Yes!" they replied simultaneously, "so we could give you the best," her mother added on.

     "Nightmares are dreams too, and because you want to give me the best, so I can be the best both of you must be eliminated, "she purred, sauntering over to her father. She grabbed his tie and whispered into his ear, "I wish you the best in Heaven because to me that would be hell." Onyx kisses his cheek.

     Her mother made a mad dash for her phone that was in her purse that she set down by the door so she could dial 999. She got there and succeeded in contacting them and giving them all the info they needed.

     Onyx's mother looked up from the phone call to see black lipstick on her husband's cheek and a sharp knife in her daughter's hand.

     Onyx then stabbed him three times in the stomach and once in the heart then turned to face her mother who had frozen in her spot because of fear.

     "Dear mother, I know you tried but you've got two choices...I kill you the way I did your husband or, "she reached into the front pouch of her backpack and removed a syringe, "you inject yourself with this liquid I created and take your chances."

     "Is there any other way?" she cried desperately.

     "One"

     "Ok then what is it?" she asked between her sobs.

     "I inject the liquid into you."

     Her mother sighs, "hand me the syringe."

     Onyx smirks, walks over with it and places it in her hand. Knowing her mother's dishonesty in the past, she slides behind her and firmly holds her knife to her mother's throat.

     "Mother, because I know you hate chances, you can inject yourself under my watchful eye with my knife at your throat. No other way, you already chose. The longer you wait to do it the more of a chance that something unpredicted is going to happen. Like the paramedics showing up when it's halfway through with it's job...that would suck. So I'd highly advise you to do it already."

     She pushes the plunger down in a near medical fashion. Onyx gets up grabs her backpack and walks to the door, stops and turns to her mother and says, "I wish you the best of luck and always remember, Nightmares are dreams too. You'll be seeing it on the news soon. The paramedics are around the corner you will be in the clear in 3...2...1, they are now powerless against it. Goodbye mother, expect changes. Put on the best show you can or you will be framed for it. Keep in mind mother, Nightmares are dreams too, and I am your worst one yet."

     With that Onyx dashed from her old home and away into the forest.
