The Girl Who Killed

Chapter Thirteen

The police showed up only a little while after Sabine went back under the water. Nada hadn't seen her surface, but she was sure that Sabine had come out. Probably on the opposite end. The pond was big enough that the other side was actually hard to see. 

Nada had taken Casey back to the barn, unsaddling him and giving him food. 

"Are you Mal?" The officer asked. 

Mal nodded, Nada clinging to her arm. 

"It seems that your sister, Kim, was in an accident." 

"It wasn't an accident." Mal replied. "No way in Hell was that an accident." 

"Excuse me?" The officer asked. He was tall, with blonde wavy hair, cut pretty short. But still long enough to see the waves. His eyes were green. Like Nada's, but a little duller. 

"She means, the way that the accident happened- I saw someone messing with the car. She's the little orphan we were forced to take in and she's the biggest-"

"Bitch we've ever met." Mal finished for her daughter, knowing exactly what was wanted to be said. 

"Where is she?" The officer asked. 

"Good question." Nada replied. "Probably somewhere in the woods, plotting how to kill us."

"What?" He asked. 

"You wouldn't get it unless you read this." Mal held up the journal. 

This looks really bad on us. Nada thought. We are screwed.

"Do you mind coming down to the station with me?" Mr. Blue eyes asked. 

Nada sighed. Knew it. Knew Sabine would do this. 

There was a splash behind them. "Mum, what's going on?" Sabine asked. 

"I'm not your fucking mother."  Mal hissed.

"Obviously you are, or I wouldn't be here."

"I hate you. I don't want you here. But you were forced into my family, ruining us!"

"No, actually, you did that pretty well yourself, Mal. That's why you have no son or husband anymore. It was all you."

"Excuse me?"

"Ma'am, would you please-"

"Shut up!" Sabine hissed at the officer. She came up the shore, watching the officer as she did.

Sabine walked staright up to him, then hugged him.

"Uhm," Was all he could get out before she hit him hard enough in the throat to kill him.

They had a dead police officer in their yard.

"SHIT!" Mal screamed. "Sabine, what the fuck did you just do?"

"He was irritating."

"You don't kill irritating people, Sabine! Like Aunt Kim. YOU DON'T DO THAT!" Nada shrieked.

"But I did. And we have to hide the body. Or," She looked from Nada to Mal. "I kill you two, too, and get away with it."

"You won't be able to get away with it for too much longer." Nada snapped. "They'll find out eventually." 

"Help me hide the body." Sabine said through clenched teeth. 

"I don't want to. I'm tired of you, Sabine. I'm not doing everything you tell me to. I'm not going to live like this. I said no." 

Wrong answer. 

Sabine's eyes had a spark of red in them. Her lips were tighter and her hands were clenched. She had obviously never taken anger management classes. "Nada," 

"Sabine, look," Mal said, stepping between the black haired girl and the blonde. "I don't want you to fight. Or kill people. I want you to confess to what you've done. It'll be better for you that way." 

"I don't think it will, Mallory. I really don't. I think it would be best if you helped me and pretended like nothing ever happened. If you do as I say, I won't hurt you or Nada or even Casey, I'll wait." 

"What did you ever want from your family that you were willing to kill them, Sabine?" Nada asked. 

"I wanted to be left the fuck alone."
