The Mouse Maiden

But Which One? (END)

"Well Vanessa, good question, I think it'll be..." Micey pondered for a long while, leaving both the girls in suspense, "YOU!" She pointed at one of the girls and cackled, then disappeared into the vents, making a 'clunk, clunk, clunk' sound as she crawled. Both of the girls were fear stricken, Cassandra started panicking and Vanessa began to sob. Mumbles could be heard coming from both the girls. "I don't want to die!" "I don't want to lose you!" "What are we gonna do?" "Nothing." The girls hugged eachother, knowing they could not escape this hell. Meanwhile, Micey was plotting the death of *CRASH* Vanessa screamed, and Cassandra was yelling at her while throwing various objects at her. "I won't let us die by the mouse maiden's hand! I'll kill you myself if it means I'm protecting you from her!" Vanessa let out a sharp screech as a beer bottle hit her arm, she was now bleeding. Cassandra saw ths blood and broke down crying, realizing what she was doing. "The voices told me to! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Her cries were loud and painful. She rushed over to Vanessa and pulled up her sleeve to examine the wound she had given her, but what she was met with was scar after scar up and down her arm. Cassandra sighed and pulled up the other sleeve, surprised to see it was blank. "Only one arm huh?" Cassandra asked, but Vanessa was crying to much to answer. Eventually she calmed down and answered her friend. "It's kind of a way of tricking people... if anyone ever says 'let me see your arm' I hand them the clean one." Cassandra nodded at her friends explanation, and Vanessa was surprised she wasn't mad. With the recent circumstances, and considering how one of them was going to die, Cassandra thought it was reasonable. "You're such a bad friend!" Vanessa laughed, trying to lighten the mood. Cassandra looked at her. "Oh yeah? Well at least I don't drag my friends to lake houses with murderers in them!" She giggled. Though the situation was so dark, both the girls found a way to lighten up the mood. Then Micey's voice joined in with the laughter, but her laugh was more malevolent. "I'm not the murderer! I only kill mice!" Both of the girls looked around in fear. "Up here!" Micey's voice was slow and soft, making it eerie. The girls looked up and found Micey on the ceiling. One of the girls gulped. "Then who's gonna kill me?" Micey chuckled at her question. "Why you of course! You will be your own end!" The girls couldn't beleive what they were hearing. Micey cackled again and it echos through the house as she mysteriously disappeared.  The girls looked at eachother and one started rocking back and forth. "I'm going to die by my own doing! These hands will be responsible for my undoing!" Cassandra chuckled lowely then began to laugh madly, this scared Vanessa, she had never seen her friend so insane before. Cassandra got up, her movements were sharp and sudden, she grabbed a knife and looked at Vanessa. "Ohhh Vaneeesssaaa! Come here and give me a huuug!" Vanessa shook her head. "No! No! You're mad! You belong in a psych ward!" Cassandra looked hurt, and she smiled angrily and spoke through clenched teeth. "Vanessa darling! Come here and give me a hug!" Vanessa made a break for the stairs. "Oh no you don't!" Cassandra tackled her and sat on Vanessa's stomach, she plenged the knife into Vanessa's chest several times, killing her, before she plunged the knife into her own chest, until she too, was dead. Micey crawled to the bodies. "Your skin will make lovely bags to keep my mice in!"
