Chapter 9: Forever & always
Lady squid snickered. It was finally to have the dream she had always wanted. Now all she was able to do is pull off the necklace & break it in pieces. Zoe would be nothing more than dead, her spirit would drift off to the shores. As she was about to rip it off, one of her tentacles started to burn with pain. She looked back to see that a knife was implanted inside her, the grip being held by Isabel. Lady squid screamed of pain.
"AHH! HUMAN HOW COULD YOU! NOW IT'S TOO LATE!" She screamed & shouted until her fish skin melted. Everyone stood eyes wide, Farlan looked like he was going to pass out. When the smoke & steam cleared, a young girl with silver hair & pouty eyes looked up with a glare. Her hair was cut short & she gritted her teeth at them. Zoe's heart sank upon realizing the identity of the girl.
"Rico!! Sister! Is that you?!" Zoe screamed at her.
"Ugh... You always get in the way! You humans!" Rico hissed. "I finally had things going my way."
"But... Why.. How? I thought you cared about me. And I thought you died out there!" She said angrily.
"Fine, If you want to know the truth... I was always pleased & bitter about your voice. The irony was heart wrenching that the girl blessed with the most captivating voice of all, could be so quiet & shy about your voice. Even father... He always loved you the most. Ignored me, the eldest girl. Only someone so lovely & lively could steal so much attention from me. And that's why I sold my soul to the Aquatic Siren, she understood me & gave me my unlimited power. I thought I could kill you off by sinking a ship using my telekinesis. But you little smart one decided to find a way to keep yourself alive. So I had to choice but to trick you by using my disguise, & it worked. Sure I had to give away a necklace so precious it can be sold for the entire human jewell sells, but it would be worth it. I'm not finished now though..." She explained with a small smirk that meant evil wrong doing.
Zoe grabbed her arm to pull her down, slamming her body on top of her, pounding Rico like a rock. Levi screamed & started to kick her face. She scrawled in pain, trying to grab one of his ankles.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE I LOOKED UP TO A SISTER LIKE YOU! AN EVIL SISTER THAT DESERVES TO DIE!" She yelled, slapping her face as tears flowed down her face.
"FINE I WAS WRONG! I SHOULDN'T HAVE KILLED MOMMA & PAPA! BUT... THEY NEVER LOVED ME!" Rico yelled back at her.
"MOBLIT! PETRA! THEY LOVED YOU! AND SO DID MOM & DAD! YOU NEED TO ALWAYS KNOW THAT!" Zoe screamed at her, grabbing her throat to choke her. "YOU'RE SO SELFISH! THAT'S ALL YOU REALLY ARE! SELFISH!"
Rico pulled out a knife & began to cut her, causing Zoe to bleed from the arms. She screamed in pain, it felt like fire. Levi tried to push her down, but Rico gave him a small cut on the shoulder, not meant for it to hurt. He fell back dodging anymore attacks from her. Isabel pulled her hair back, starting to bite her viciously. Farlan stood aback, he had trained so much for something crazy like this. He pulled out his gun to fire, but since everyone was so close, Farlan didn't fire in fear of him shooting a loved one. Rico growled & saw a streak of light in the corner of her eye. She pushed Zoe off of her & into the water. Using her dark magic, Rico pulled the lightning to her hands & fired it at the necklace. It glowed the brightest it has ever gotten from there. Levi, Farlan, Isabel fell back covering their eyes. Farlan started to run back, his palm over his forehead & eyes.
Zoe screamed & felt her legs disappearing. She fell back in the lagoon, looking up to see her tail was covered in red blood. Rico started to walk towards her, she quivered back shaking. Rico grabbed her by the neck & started to suffocate her. Levi glared & yelled, grabbing her from behind & slamming her on the dirt ground. Levi rushed over to help Zoe, while Farlan pulled out the gun to finish Rico, he fired about 3 times. Her blood was gushing everywhere.
Zoe's eyes were closed. She looked pale & her heart was pumping very fast. Levi tried to give her CPR, but she wasn't responding. He looked panicked.
"Please... Please... I'm sorry. This is all my fault... Why did I have to do that. For a stupid girl..." He mumbled. "This is all my fault.
Levi started to tear up softly, Isabel & Farlan watched from a distance, it was the first time they had ever seen him cry. And it was heartbreaking.
"Will she be ok...?"
"I don't think so..."
Authors note: HAHA! I HAVE NO REGRETS! But don't worry, I'm not finished yet. Hue hue hue.
