I look at the clock. It is 11:34 pm. She must think I am not coming to see her tonight at the treehouse, but I just need to wait until my father is asleep. I think the coast is clear...
I run out of my house and onto the grass. It is completely silent, so I sneak out to the birch forest. But I hear... voices. This will be her end, one of them says, Love shall never live, but it shall die.
I ignore them and continue on until I make it to the treehouse. Zella is asleep on the purple beanbag chair and I lay across the blue one. I see her sleeping so soundly, and it creepily makes me warm inside. I slowly feel myself drifting to sleep...
I wake from a rustling noise and I look over at Zella... oh my Irene!
"This is what I think of love!" Knox snarls as he holds a knife above Zella's chest. It is pointed toward her, and Knox is slowly raising it.
"No, stop!" I yell at him, but he just smiles wickedly and puts it above his head. "NO!!!" I scream with such terror as he plunges it down toward her. But I knock his hand and it hits her arm. Zella screams with pain, and I see the fear in her eyes. It cracks my heart into pieces. Knox is smirking as he moves the knife across Zella's arm. I finally notice what he is doing. He is drawing on her arm with a knife. He is drawing a... heart. Once he is done with Zella, he jumps on me and starts drawing it on my arm! I try to bite his hand or kick him, but it is no use. I am screaming in pain. This is worse than any poisoning that I have ever had, worse than any beating I got from my father. Because I am punished for love, and so is Zella. Knox finishes with my heart and he wipes the blood off of the knife with a rag and he rings it out on Zella.
"That is what I think of love. And you'd better learn that quickly, or else you will never see the light of day ever again." Knox scowles and leaves the tree house, Zella and I are covered in blood.
