Killing You Would Be Easier

Rosa
I couldn't breath. I turned my back towards shit face and began to pace. I looked at the boy and started to cry.

I was beginning to have selfish thoughts. I needed to survive. I needed to take revenge on all of these sons a bitches. But I couldn't kill a kid. I turned to face shit face and put the blade to his throat.

"What if I just kill you instead? Your life is worthless!" He smiled.

"So is his. There's no difference between us. He'll most likely just turn out like me"

"Shut up" I said through clenched teeth. "You shut up. You killed my family" I looked at him and pressed the blade into his skin.

Åsa
"Hey, hey, hey, enough with this cat fight bullshit" I turned to Dillan.

"Dill, we didn't have to do this, why does she?"

"Didn't you know, Åsa?" He smiled. "Miss Rosa here is in the calling"

"No she isn't"

"The calling? What calling?" Said Rosa.

Dillan turned to Rosa and moved closer to her. He placed his hand on her shoulder making her pull away.

Again, he was giving her that smile. The same smile he used to give me. I turned to look at the wall next to me. I crossed my arms and listened to their conversation.

"What calling shit face!"

"Rosa, darling!" The messiah called.

"Come sit down. Here. I have a lot to tell you"

I turned around to make sure she moved away from Dillan. When I saw her move away to sit with the Messiah, I moved closer to Dillan.

"Is it true? She's the one?" I said watching her.

"She might be" he looked at me and kissed me on the cheek then moved away from me and left the room.

I moved closer to the messiah and Rosa. I smiled at her even though I didn't trust her one bit. She looked the other way telling me she feels the same way as I feel about her.

"So you see the reason you're here is
because your mother belonged to this very cult when she too was sixteen. Quite an extraordinary woman she is"
"My mother?" Said Rosa. Her voice was beginning to crack. I sat down opposite the messiah and Rosa who were facing each other across a square table.

"Yes. She was beautiful Rosa" I couldn't help think of my relationship with Dillan.

Not even two minutes of listening to the Messiah speak of Rosa's mother and I was already getting bored. I thought back to the first time I met him. It was my first ritual and I was all in white.

We were at the Cresterfowl forest which held an opening of chopped down trees. We all stood around in a circle and in the middle a dead body laid face down with a wooden stake protruding from it's back. I didn't look at the body much because all I looked at was his gorgeous green eyes and tall frame. He gave me a smile and I knew this was where I belonged.

The messiah came out in his red gown and called my name. I walked foreword until I was standing before him.

"Åsa" he said. He took the blood of the
body that was already in a bowl and
smeared it on my face.

"I give this sacrifice to you. I give this cult to you. I shed this blood for you Åsa. I want you to kneel before me child" I kneeled. He looked up at the sky and said something in
Hebrew. Something I couldn't understand.

Then he brought a buffalo's head and stood in front of me.

"You are worthy" he shouted.

"I am worthy" my face was tilted backwards so that I was looking at him. He placed the buffalo's head on mine and helped me up. I walked carefully to the body laying in middle and bent down gently, making sure my head doesn't fall off, then I lit the wooden stake.

Everyone chanted "Vi är hans. Han är i oss. Vår Messias kommer oss".

After the ceremony, while I was cleaning myself up and getting ready to go home, Dillan came over.

"You're a natural" he smiled.

"At what?" I smiled in return.

"At getting on your knees" my smile faded.

"What?" He laughed.

"I'm just shitting you. Åsa right?"

"Yes. What's your name?"

"What kind of name is Åsa? German?"

"Actually it's Swedish"

"Oh nice. The name's Dillan. See you around Åsa" he tapped my shoulder and walked away.

What a jerk I thought. I hated his character yet I loved his carefree spirit. I'm so fucked up.

"Åsa, are you okay with that? Åsa?" The messiah snapped his fingers in front of me.

"Excuse me master, please repeat what you've said"

"You better start waking the fuck up when I speak to you Åsa. Rosa is staying in your room"

"What-" my face completely changed.

The messiah wasn't listening. He stood up.

"Dillan! Get the food ready for Rosa"

The messiah turned to me.

"Darling Åsa, please do the honours" he gestured toward the boy hanging from the ceiling. I moved over to the boy and took out my blade.

"No! Please don't kill him" I looked towards Rosa who was now getting out of her seat. I looked to the boy and thought about his life, what he had done and all the things he wouldn't be able to do after today. Then
Rosa came closer, almost running towards me and I turned to the boy once again. This time ending it. This time slitting his throat and watching the warm blood spurt everywhere. I smiled and turned around to look at Rosa. I was going to love making her miserable. I was going to enjoy myself. I am already. I slit his throat and watched the blood pour out.

"Rosa. Sit down here and eat" Rosa gave me a look that was supposed to be threatening but just made her look pathetic. She walked toward the table and sat down. Dillan
brought out the food and I couldn't wait to see the look on her face when she sees what she has to eat. Dillan took the lid off the tray and her face turned green.

"Bon apatite"

"What is this" she asked the Messiah.

"Baby rats, Rosa. Now don't be shy. Eat
them and eat them all"

She looked at them again and threw up.
