When she dies

A friend.

"Marin I'm sure she didn't mean it. This is hard on her."
Lily and I stand on her balcony.
I stay silent.
"Look Marin...I'm sorry that she said that I know that just must of hurt. That's kinda the reason why you returned right?" A nod. "Yeah...I can barely imagine how that must of hurt. But trust me. She says things that hurt but she doesn't mean it especially to the one she cares about. I think you should just talk to her about it."
My head bows down and silence goes for a moment before Lily breaks the silence. "It probably is hard for the dead to speak to the living. But...Marin. You knew us so well those years ago. You should know she wouldn't mean that."
Continued silence. Lily looks back away and sighs when she turns to see her friend.
She is gone. 

"Marin? Marin are you there?" Bella speaks out into her room.
After a moment of trying to hear for an answer she gets nothing. "I'm sorry."
She doesn't see me. I stand hiding in the shadows watching as she begins to cry knowing I might of left for good.
RING RING
She sits up and answers her device "Lily hey what's up?"
"What the hell did you do?!?"
"What?"
"Ugh Marin told me what had happened."
"She did? So she's still here?"
"I don't know! She left as I was talking. She really was upset. Really silent to."
"She won't respond to me. I don't see her anywhere either."
"*sigh* You must of really hurt her."
"Again something I really wish I hadn't done."
"Here let me try to get her."
She makes it so Lily is heard all around the room. "Marin? Please Bella wants to see you."
Bella does not see the dead form I take. The dark eyes of death that stare into her light eyes as she moves in front of her.
The slight gentle whispers that appear out of no where through the girls device.
"She's there. Look around as best you could do you see her?"
Bella begins to look around trying to see my dead figure that used to be so delicate and sweet. Lily's line is cut.
The device is shut off out of no where along with a scratchy whisper. "Now we are alone."
Blood drips down the wall. It then moved in separate directions slowly moving around to make an eye.
"Marin. What are you doing what are you trying to say?"
The blood makes a long message spread against the wall.
T r a i t o r
It spells.
"Look I'm so sorry. I really didn't mean it. I really didn't."
She now sees me.
I dig my long nails into the wall.
*scratch scratch*
The noise she knows for sure is that death has come.

I crawl slowly. Like a small rat against a snake.
I slither to it ready to pounce and enjoy my meal.
"Marin no don't do this."
Fear spreads across her face.
But she is not to die tonight.
She is to pay...
But not to suffer.
I stand. My head bowed down.
The long damaged hair covering my face. The long white dress.
The skinny bony arms revealing that I am truly...
Death.
"Marin...please..." Her precious lip is bitten by her teeth.
Without another word. I take several slow steps forward. My feet grey and small.
"Please. Don't hurt me."
I put my finger on her cheek.
Showing her that she won't be in pain.
Well
Not in to much of course.
She catches her breath. "Marin what-"
The door is kicked down. Bella jerks around and is shot in the arm. She falls over and yells in pain. My eyes widen and I go down to hold her.
"You owe us money cunt."
"I owe you nothing."
He reloads his gun. I stand. "Give us the money or you die."
Bella looks over. And I am gone.
The man points at the wall where Bella "looked".
They go over.
*gurgle*
They take a step back. "What the-"
*scratch scratch scratch*
"Oh god is there a fuckin rat in there?!?"
"Kill it."
Bella smiles. "What's so fucking funny bitch?"
"Do you really think that those noises are rats?"
"Don't be so fuckin stupid."
BAM.
They jump back. Bella stands and holds her wound.
I wait in the ceiling part that was removed watching them with a wide eye ready to attack. Bella knows my exact location. But doesn't look there.
"I'll give you one chance. Leave or die. A horrible horrible slow death. By death itself."
The man who shot Bella slowly looks up.
How he sees me is what he fears.
The some what black eye slowly turns to all dilated black. Staring. Ready to lunge.
He chuckles. He gestures his gun to where I am. "That scary thing? Really? Ha your quite funny honestly. So scary. You know sweet heart makeup can be scary but it doesn't really kill people. But then again your ugly it could."
"Dont you fucking dare say that about her." Bella holds a gun. The man shakes his head and smiles.
"Well played."
"Oh I'm still not the one who is going to kill." Bella looks to where I was. But no longer am at. The part closed up.
"W-Wait a minute she was right there! I just saw her! How did-...No." Realization sweeps through the man. It's Bella's turn to laugh. "Told you."
She drops the gun. The rest of the men shake and gape as they jerk their guns around to try and search for something they don't know what.
*gurgle gurgle gurgle*
They jerk around to the noise.
But are even more scared when they see nothing.
"SHOW YOURSELF!!"
The blood from the wall drips down and on to a mans gun. The man shakes and slowly looks up as there he sees me in the ceiling looking down at him.
Another part that was removed but now directly above him.
He screams as I reach out only once and bring him up with me. The part of the ceiling closing.
I hold him with my long dark nails. I pet my prey delicately. I like mine alive and healthy.
"P-P-P-Please! Pleasepleaseplease!!! Don't do this!!"
My form changes.
The delicate brown haired, purple eyed, pale skinned beauty now sits in front of him. His shaking stops his eyes now wide.
I caress my hand to his cheek. Making it seem as if I am here to love not to hurt. Once he is calm my form changes once more making him scared.
Death eats up the delicate sweet flower I once was.
With that I open up my mouth the razor sharp teeth appear and dig into his screaming face.

The ceiling part shifts around as bloody screams and gurgles enters through out the room.
A moment later a pile of flesh drops down.
Making the men sick.
They shiver even more. Knowing this will go on long until the men are all dead.
They will pay.

They will suffer.

I rise from the ground my head bowed. Blood dripping down my closed small dead mouth. After a moment of hesitation they shoot at me. Once they stop they are relieved to see that they have hit me. Bella worries.
I smile. The wounds close up.
They shake with fear. One of the men drop his weapon goes over to in front of me with bravery.
He goes on his knees. "Please! If you are here for all of us end my suffering quick. I just want to get it over with."
My finger is placed on his cheek. A tear rolls down his face. Saddened and scared that this truly is his end.
The form I once had when I was alive returns. The long dress that appears on me. My long brown hair. My beautiful purple eyes. Everyone is in shock at my beauty.
The light, sweet, delicate voice that now speaks. "Your sweet innocence shall not suffer."
The men all drop their guns.
My hunt

Is their leader.
I walk to him. His mouth open wide.
I smile warmly.
Then I glare. Making him scared.
I hold my hand to the side. My long black nails appear. The man falls to his knees knowing what comes next.
With a simple swipe..
His head is off.
Cleanly.
The last remaining three men shake in fear.
I point to the door.
They now sprint out...leaving their weapons.

"I'm guessing your still pretty angry at me?"
My dead form stands while she sits a foot away from me.
It isn't anger.
It's confusion.
Betrayal.
"I'm just gonna have to get used to you not speaking as you used to huh?"
"There is something that is hungry...something that wants to take you...I want to kill that something."
She stands eager to know more. I turn to face her and take a step back. "What is it? Why does it want me?"
Such a great question that cannot be answered.
That is what I fear.
I am not sure.
But I shall find out.

"Marin?"
She notices me staring at the ground deep in thought.
"Marin what's wrong?"
There are many things wrong.
"I fear your life is in danger."
Her eyes widen. And with that
I turn and disappear leaving her to drown her in thoughts.
