Blood sisters

Chapter Nine

Ade's POV:
I'm in the park, walking to the same places that Raya and I had been when she was here. In all honesty I have no idea if she was dead or alive. We're not allowed to know either because of Raya's safety if she is living. I have a strong feeling that she's not...living. I can never forgive Elizabeth for what she did. Seth has dropped all feelings he had once had for Elizabeth but I can't help and think he won't be able to properly move on.

I sit on a bench, in fact, the very same bench Raya and I ate the ice-creams. I miss her so much. I want her to be here with me once again. I look over to a tree that was a few metres away, a figure is standing there, long black hair, cold grey eyes...

"Raya!!" I gasped and ran towards the tree. "You're ali-..." When I reached the tree no one was there. Not even a trace of someone being there. 'Did I imagine her there?' I thought. Most likely, it's not possible for her to be here right? Right? I sigh in disappointment and turn away, walking back towards my house.

I arrive home and there's a note on the door. It read "I've gone out. I'll be back around 11pm. -Seth P.S I've left you some food in the fridge." 

"Great" I mutter.

Elizabeth's POV:
My Dad is now taking care of me. Right now I'm going to the store to pick up some ingredients for dinner tonight. He's going to try and help me find out whether Raya is alive or dead. Dad said there's not much hope for her being alive. But I'm not giving up until I find out.

In the corner of my eye I see Seth. He's with a girl. I stop a few feet away from them. He's laughing, smiling and generally having a good time. Just like how he was at the park. I can't help but feel...what's the word? Angry? No. More like jealous. The time I spent in prison, I realised that I have feelings for him. But it can't happen. I killed nearly all of his siblings. There's no way he'd ever fall for me again.

"What are you doing here?" Seth said, in a cold tone and now is in front of me.

"I was..going to the store to get ingredients.." I mumble. "Who was the girl?"

"And why would you care?" He scoffed.

"I don't recall ever saying I did"

"Whatever" he walked away. I felt tears sting my eyes. I quickly blink them away and head to the store. After gathering everything I needed I headed back home.

Ade's POV:
After I finish my food I go up stairs and fall face first onto my bed and fell asleep. I instantly go into a dream. Everything around me in my dream seemed familiar. My back garden, on the door step with Raya. Something wasn't right though. Although I can't pin point what was off.

"Ade?" Raya said quietly.

"Hmm?"

" you shouldn't keep holding on to the past and just accept that I've gone" she now whispered.

"What?" I have no idea how to react.

"You can't keep holding onto something you don't know that's actually there or not"

"Raya...I'm not giving up that easy" this most defiantly not the Raya I know. This Raya is bitter and not encouraging.

"Hmm, I guess you'll just have to find out the hard way then" and then my dream ended. I woke up to Seth accidentally slamming the door. He walks into my room and stares at my face.

"Ade..why are you crying?"

"What?" I lightly touch my cheek and I felt a tear on my finger. 'I was crying?' I thought. "Oh, well I had a dream about Raya, I guess I must've cried in my sleep without realising"

"Okay, well get some rest. Maybe you'll feel better in the morning"

"Yeah, thanks Seth" I mutter.

He leaves and closes the door lightly. I change into my nightwear and get back into bed. The night was full of happy memories with Jackson, Amanda and Raya. God, how much I miss them. Why do they have to be taken from me?

Elizabeth's POV:
My dad and I head to bed, I lay in my bed and just think of horrible things. Things I never want to think of again. Seth has a new interest, Raya's gone, Dad is somehow colder than I remember and mother's death keeps replaying in my mind. Along with my other murders, like Amanda's murder..and Raya's.

I need to go for a walk. To clear my mind. I rise from my bed and slip on some shoes and a coat. Because it was dark and late at night, I decided to take a pocket knife with me. I then headed out of the house and walked to my left. The cold night air made me shiver and I carry on walking. On the other side of the road I see the girl that Seth was with earlier. With out even thinking I follow the small, wheat coloured haired girl. Clutching the pocket knife that was in my coat pocket, I continued to follow her into an alleyway. 'Perfect' thought.

I then grab her hood and pull her back, making her fall to the ground. I take the knife out of my pocket and postilion myself, ready to murder her.

"Elizabeth, think about what you're doing" a soft voice came from behind. "Don't you think this should stop now?" The voice continued. I turn around to see who was there.
