A drastic decision

Conny and I hid behind the fort filling the water balloons with red paint.

“Fire in the hole!” I called as I tossed the balloon

The balloon splattered on Alex as Trevor pointed his paintball gun at me seeing my laughing on the ground.

“No! Don’t shoot! I surrender!” I called out too tired to play any further.

Conny helped me up then smirked at Trevor shooting him in the balls.

“Ayyy!!!” he screamed

Conny dragged me back behind the fort and said to me “Pull yourself together soldier!”

“Ah! She shot me in my balls!” we heard Trevor screaming

Conny and I continued laughing behind the fort. Alex got up deciding to cheat since we were playing dirty. She ran and did a summersault over the fort and once in front of us she opened fire.

“No!” we screamed trying to block the paint with our hands.

Alex smiled and winked “The Blackanese wins again”

We all headed back inside as it began to get dark again.

“We should take a shower and prepare for tomorrow” said Alex

Once inside entering the kitchen I grabbed a red apple out the fruit tray.

I thought about my life. How I grew up just fine without my birth mother…and just like that my curiosity was over. Then I started thinking of Chris. The only guy to ever show interest in me was death.  He took my life in my past life but saved me multiple times in this one.

Conny watched as I bit into the apple and said “We got lucky. The Peterson’s must be locked in at the opera”

Yup” I replied leaving the kitchen

Conny followed behind me noticing my strange behavior. “Trixy?” she said

“Nothing! I’m tired!” I replied

After heading up the stairs I opened Alex’s door seeing her drying her hair in a robe.

“Hey, you can hop in the shower after Trevor” said Alex

“Okay…” I replied laying down on her bed

Trevor entered the room wet and shirtless. He said to Alex “Hey, do you think the world will notice a week passed and nobody can remember?”

Alex smirked seeing him shirtless “Oh my…”

Alex approached him feeling on his chest. While she felt him up I left the room jealous and annoyed and mumbling “So unfair…”

Once in the bathroom I stripped naked turning the knobs watching hot water filling the tub and once it was full I climbed in.

“Hot! Hot!” I whispered slowly sitting in the steamy water.

“Ahhh” I let out a sigh or relief once my body adjusted to the water.

As I sank down into the water I began to dose off into dreamland.

“Beatrix…” said the grim reaper holding out a black rose

“Chris!” I called back reaching out for the rose.

Suddenly I found myself surrounded my corpses and blood. The blood began to rise like water. I began to panic and let out a scream, my breath bubbling out my mouth but then I woke up in the bathtub screaming.

I got out the bathtub and wrapped up in a small towel. After leaving the bathroom I noticed Conny standing looking at me.

“Trixy, is something wrong?” said Conny
