A Twisted Fate

The Seven Wonders Pt 3

Madison grabbed her suitcase and dropped it onto her bed opening it while releasing a sob. As she returned to the closet, Kyle stood at the other end. Madison froze for only a minute before returning to grabbing her things.

"What do you want, dumbass?" asked Madison taking hold of her clothes and taking them to her suitcase, throwing them in as Kyle followed.

"You let her die," stated Kyle, looking somewhat out of it as Madison returned to gathering her clothes until he grabbed her around the throat making her gasp for air. "Why... did you let her die?"

"I-I..." gasped Madison before Kyle pushed her back and slammed her down onto Zoe's bed.

Cordelia and the others were in the greenhouse, Zoe standing beside Queenie. Kyle had left a little earlier to get one of Melinda's things but hadn't returned. Watching as Cordelia breathed into Melinda, they waited with baited breaths.

"You know that dark place. We've both been there. We both came back," growled Kyle over Madison as she continued to cry in fear. "Why?!"

"I did it for us," answered Madison. "I love you. I love you, please. Please."

Kyle glared down at her as she writhed beneath him trying to get away from him, tears still in his eyes.

Leaning down, he whispered, "You're not that good an actress."

Madison didn't understand until Kyle's hands flew back to her neck and tightened once again.

"Stop! No!" cried Madison as Kyle held her down.

Madison tried to free herself punching and slapping him to release her but Kyle wouldn't have that. It was her fault that Melinda was gone. Hearing her say it was for them let him know that she knew about his feelings for Melinda. She knew and she left her dead on that table.

Zoe, Queenie and Myrtle watched as Cordelia hovered over Melinda. Taking one another's hands, they waited. She had to come back. She had to.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Madison stared up at Kyle gasping for air as her vision darkened. Her heart started to slow from its frantic beating. And then finally she stopped moving. Kyle shook her harshly cracking her neck in the process to make sure she was gone.

In the greenhouse, Melinda sat up quickly gasping for air and looking around as Cordelia fell from beside her. Looking over the table, she gasped.

"Cordi!" exclaimed Melinda as if nothing had happened and she hadn't been dead for several days.

Quickly jumping off the table only for her legs to give out on her, she crawled over to Cordelia and checked her. She was alright. It wasn't anything to worry about.

"It's ok. She's fine," called Melinda breathing a sigh of relief before being tackled from behind. "Whoa!"

"You're back! You're back. I thought I'd never see you again," cried Zoe hugging her from behind making Melinda smile and reach up to lightly comb her fingers through Zoe's hair in a soothing manner.

"I'm sorry I was away so long. You guys took longer than I expected," answered Melinda looking at the others who laughed at her a bit before she looked down at Cordelia on her lap again. "Looks like the ascension has begun."

"Indeed. And we're all happy to have you back my dear," smiled Myrtle as Queenie came over and hugged the two girls.
