The End of Madison
“I don’t think it’s me who’s going to be let go tonight, Azurite. You may be stronger than me, I admit it, but you are in no way, a challenge to me mentally, and you know it. I see it in your eyes.”
“Stop trying to get inside of my head…”
“Well, by the looks of it, I already have.” She lifts up some of my hair to reveal a long scar across my scalp from my operation. I push her away, covering it back up.
“You don’t like it? I think it suits you.”
“I hate it…why couldn’t you just do it?”
“Do what, insect…”
“Kill me! You had the perfect chance! Why did you have to do this instead!? You could’ve been done with me by now.”
“Don’t you see how much better this is for me? Killing your precious Micah and keeping you alive to suffer was the best choice I could have made.”
“MICHAEL! Now are we going to do this or not!?”
“Alright, fine. Go ahead.” I lunge at her, but she darts away centimeters before I get a good grip on her. She laughs, “Is that really the best you can do?”
“No…” I throw myself at her again, this time knocking her to the ground. I start pushing as hard as I can on her neck, wanting to stop any air from exiting her body.
“No need to break her, Azurite. Be nice.”
“What are you talking about Mad—“
I turn, expecting to see my best friend, but instead I’m met by a post-operated sixteen year city girl with piercing green eyes and wavy black hair.
