Energy Never Dies

Chapter Eight: Something Sabti This Way Comes

TENESE POV

I was sleeping in bed when I got a phone call from Sage Zuniga, Sabti's father.

Me: Do you know what time---

Sage: Tenese, where is Ocelean? Are you girls sitting down?

Me: Well, I'm chilling in bed, does that count?

Sage: Turn on the television!

I sighed and turned on the news.

News Announcer: "This morning, authorities found the body of 28-year-old Tanaya Henry, a jewelry maker and fashion designer who was the fiance of Grammy nominated R&B heartthrob, Trey Songz. Officers initially thought Henry was the victim of a robbery and attempted to escape through the garage, but nobody else was in the home. Her death is being ruled as being caused by a freak accident. This isn't the first time that Songz, whose real name is Tremaine Neverson, has lost a wife-to-be. You may recall that his previous fiancee, poet Sabti Zuniga, passed away nine months ago in a car accident in Madagascar. Our condolences are with both of their families."

Wow! I didn't like this girl, but death is something you can't come back from. I know that Sabti, or more specifically her spirit, did this. You see, Trey had been messing around with Tanaya a few weeks before Sabti's passing and apparently had plans to make off with his supposed share of Sabti's estate once she was dead. I'm not gonna fuck with Sabti's plan because that's human nature in my eyes. I grabbed my car keys, called Ocelean and we headed to the crime scene.

Tanaya's neck was snapped by her being between the garage door and its pillar. Her collarbone was caught in the blades, so she was almost damn near decapitated. It took eight forensics specialists to undo her from the garage and take her to the coroner. As we were close with Sabti, Ocelean and I were encouraged to go to the coroner's office.

AT THE CORONER'S OFFICE....

OCELEAN POV

I can't believe Tanaya's dead. I didn't like her for the simple fact that she smashed my fiancee, but death is something you can't come back from. Tenese, Trey, Chris and I were all in this room where they had Tanaya's body on one slab and Sabti's body on another slab. My girl looked good even when she was dead. Still properly preserved for nine months.

Coroner William Bludworth: I've never seen anything like this.

Me: They're dead, what else is there to---

William: Do you want to hear this or not!?

Tenese: Shut up girl!

Me: This went from Why Do Fools Fall in Love to Final Destination! Sabti---

Tenese: We're sorry, proceed.

Chris and Trey looked at each other, then at us, and back at William.

William: I see that there are two beautiful women here. The first is a Sabti Zuniga, whose file I looked at and discovered that she was a believer in numerology, yoga, and Afterlife Karma. Do you all know what I'm referring to?

Chris (sadly): I do.

William: Well, it seems as though Sabti's resurfacing from beyond the grave. Now, what I mean by this is that in death, her spirit would eternally haunt those who wronged her during her lifetime. The person who scarred the deceased the most would never be at peace because of how horrible that person was to her. One by one, those individuals will die a horrible death.

Ocelean: She's going by a list!

William: Right. She's killing them by order of importance. The other young lady, Tanaya Henry is just the bottom of the barrel.
