Chapter 14

I snatch my Halloween rug off the shelf, rummage for torch and rush out. The yellow light of the lantern begin to glow wider as I walked closer. My nerves started to sturdy themselves when I saw the golden teeth glee in rave.

Reaching the patch of dead land I face him. He is happy and this is a bad sign. But, I must never forget we are a team. I had agreed with being a badass for my own benefits.

" Hello K! How are you doing tonight?", his thrilled voice makes my instincts sicken.

" I am good Roger. Got hold on both ?", Speaking low my voice feels strained and a tiny sweat drips down my forehead.

" No. The boy is in their. Girl has m-y...m-y l-little Tia's eyes.", he squeaks and continues, " I-I c-can't lay a figure on h-her.", although it's a no moon night I can hear his voice deduce and that he was crying.

Posturing himself into a man of strong ribs he speaks in commanding tone, " I need you to finish her. She is with the tribes. She has to stay till the burnt up piece of shit settles. I set the fire to dance around the reserve.", the sound celebrates the joy of mishap.

I harden on my heels and tug tight to my polo night shirt. "T-this isn't m-my pot of w-water. I-I share my f-friendship with her. J-just can't m-murder.", I stutter.

He gets the grip of my hair, he grabs it from back of my head. Pulling me closer to his ruddy face he contorts his blimey features. A strong smell of dead remains reach me when he comes closer and hisses like a strange serpent. The anger emerges in every nerve of his body.

" You can't deny!", his features change in sudden and he starts laughing like a maniac, turning towards me he speaks in hissy tone,"want me to remind you how you threw your little sister Ella from your house? How much your daddy loves her and prefers her over you? Want me to remind you how your mother never got the love Ella's mother did? Your mother died in psychotic attack because of the same.

My father lived for hundred and two years but, never showed my mom the love he gave to Ella's grand ma. Ella's grand ma never showed love to my father, instead she ditched him on the night of their wedding and ran away with Rohanthan the conquerer. That son of a bitch...."

He was definitely sad, probably he let his tears spill. I could hear the bondage of a mother and child," Do you know why I chose you to partner with me? Because we both are sailing in the same boat. That breed of junk Ella is a thief, who has stolen the happiness of others like her ancestors.  For you she's a spoiler of every soul's life. For me she is guilty family's only seed. ", pacing across the field he abruptly stills himself in front of me.

" Are you ready to destroy the Earlson's forever K?", now his tone seems to hold a crystal clear question.

" I don't regale the past Roger. I hate El", I flinch pronouncing her name," I have doomed her life already, she lives alone and has no friends except me. I made her to break up with her boyfriend and broke her heart. I was the the one who bought Ro to the party other night. Remember that night do you? "

" yea yea I do, it was the night when we slit that idiot's throat. What was his name_? Um...Joy!", he spoke scratching his head.

"Yes Roger yes. I want to destroy her and for that you don't have to remind me of anything. Her mom was a bitch, she ran away with that Earlson guy but, had Ella in her womb when she did. Now that you told me about her grand ma I feel her family is scarred to do the same. Let's destroy her", our eyes meet and I can feel the redness burning out anger and hatred.

" Let's do it.", he confirms our motto and I simply nod my head. I need this and I need to destroy her.

I remember the day when I took my first revenge, autumn week of singing it was. Ella was at school playing around in merry. But me who had lost all love in the world was chasing her parents car heading towards the church. I had grabbed dad's rifle from the attic for this gracious day. I aimed my archery skilled eyes towards the back tire of the red SUV pulling the trigger and it hit the target beautifully. The car immediately lost its balance and fell into the lower valley rolling over the muddy road. Ella's parents were gone forever and this bought a strange peace in my heart. I walked back home in triumph. Ella never again found her merriness.

" It's 2a.m. and I can hear the hooting sound. Everything is ready to repeat itself again and I should be in the mansion to see it all. To see that white gown swirl around the dome in circles. To cry for resonating pain the mansion emits.

I trust you for now to stay mum. Let's not meet up until either of us find her the way to hell.", he limps towards the darker outskirts and after few seconds I see the owl high above myself, seething through the cold wind.
