Energy Never Dies

Chapter Seven: Call The Coroner

TANAYA POV

I'm not scared of Sabti, her ghost, or whatever the fuck that was trying to scare me. Me and Trey are together and unlike her wrinkled ass, he's actually going to WIFE me up. We announced our engagement a month ago and we are working on our wedding this winter. Trey is at a meeting with Atlantic Records to discuss renewing his contract for $30 million. He's worth way more than that, but he's getting that bread either way.

He wants to have dinner so instead of going out, I made him pot roast, sweet potatoes, with macaroni and cheese. The food was cooling off so I decided to run myself a nice bath and wind down for MY man. I was halfway in the tub....it felt so warm. I made it a point to turn the water all the way off because I hate the drip-drip sound. A minute later, the water turned back on and I hadn't even touched the damn knob! 

Me: The fuck? 

I turned it back off.  Then, it came back on. I huffed and turned it back off. 

Sighing, I eased into the tub again. But this time, the water was rising and the knob wasn't even TURNED! I suddenly became scared, especially because the water became hotter and then began to BOIL! I tried to get out of the tub, but it was as though the porcelain was too slippery! I screamed as I became consumed by the scalding hot water. Seeing as I had no choice, I threw myself onto the cold floor, which was painful in combination to the hot water. My skin was burning red and extremely hyperthermic by this point. I grabbed my robe, put on my clothes and ran to the front door, but the door was locked. It had somehow become dead bolted. I punched the glass frame on one of the windows to unlock the door but my arms were too short to unlock the door from the other side.

Me: HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!

Bloodied and cut up from the glass, I ran into the kitchen to grab my cell phone but was overpowered by a plethora o flames! I screamed as I saw that my cell phone was being burned by the stove (which was previously turned off). I ran towards the bedroom, but the door was locked. I tried opening the guest bedroom, but that was locked too! Desperate, I ran into the garage and clicked on the door switch, which miraculously opened! I dashed to the opening, but it had risen only off the groundI ran back to the door switch again but it was stuck! 

Me (sobbing): Oh God....

BARK BARK! That's it! Our puppy Doberman named Spicy was coming from outside and trotted to the front door. 

Me: Spicy! Baby....come here and help Mommy.

He looked at me in fear....as if he knew something bad was gonna happen. I stuck my head through his doggie door to reassure him that everything was okay. Then all of a sudden, the garage door slowly went up! I tried to get out of the doggie door but I was stuck. I wiggled, kicked and thrashed until I saw the garage door connect with me..............SNAP!

TREY POV

I changed my mind about not loving Tanaya. Sabti has my heart still, but I need to move on. I renewed my contract with Atlantic for $50 million and I could hardly wait to get home and tell my baby! Plus, a nigga is HUNGRY! I had my niggas T.I. and Quincy riding with me. We hadn't even gotten to the front door when I noticed something was wrong. 

Quincy: Yo, somebody broke in the crib!?

Me: TANAYA!!!!

I kicked the door five times before it broke down. We saw the flaming stove put itself out and we opened all the doors before we reached the bathroom, T.I. opened the door and we saw the bathtub boiling hot water by itself. Quincy ran and slipped on the floor, hurting his back. Tip looked in the water (from a distance) and couldn't see Tanaya in there.

We helped Quincy up and went into the garage.....

Trey: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

I tried to run to her, but they held me back! 

Trey: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! MY BABY!!!!! NOOOOO!!!! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!

....My baby was....DEAD.
