•No One Mourns the Wicked•

Chapter 10.

Natalia sits right in the middle of the stage, looking out over the rows of chairs in the theatre. It feels weird seeing all of the chairs since it all looks like a big, black hole of nothingness when you perform on stage. The blood's all cleaned up and the metallic bubble is back up above the stage. No guards are in this part of the theatre and it seems to be empty of people. Natalia closes her eyes and enjoy the silence. With Abigail there never was silence. She smiles as a memory comes back to her, it's of their first kiss.

Natalia lay in her bed after a two show day watching pointless reality drama shows while going through her instagram. She stuffed a few cheetos in her mouth as Abigail's newest instagram picture came up. It was a picture of her, Abigail and Levan. Both Abigail and Levan was kissing either side of Natalia's cheek as she beamed into the camera. The caption was 'Gelphie or Fiyeraba?'.
Natalia smiled as she watched the picture. She'd been going out with Abigail for about a week and a half now, and they still hadn't kissed since thay wanted to take things slow. But Natalia yearned to press her lips against Abigail's and feel her soft skin against her own.
Finding herself missing Abigail to no end she decided to text her.

Natalia
Hey, Abi! Wyd?

Abigail
Hey gorgeous! I'm just watching some shitty reality show.

Natalia
Omg, me too! Which show?

Abigail
Dance Moms.

Natalia
ME TOO! Coincidence? I think not.

Abigail
Hahaha, you dork;P

Natalia
Wanna watch it together?

Abigail
Is this just a reason for me to come over ;)

Natalia

Abigail
Haha I knew it! Of course I'm coming over! Just give me 10 and I'll be there.

Natalia
Bring more cheetos.

Abigail
Dork.

Natalia
Love you too!

8 minutes later there was a knock on the door and Abigail entered the house. She was wearing a panda onesie with her brown curls in a messy bun. In her hand was two packs of cheetos and Natalia took them and ran to the bedroom.

"Hey! What kind of welcome is that?!" Abigail yelled as she ran after her.

As she caught up to Natalia in the bedroom she still couldn't manage to grab the cheetos due to her small height and Natalia's tall height. After a few minutes of struggling, Abigail finally caught the cheetos and raced to the other side of Natalia's bed, but Natalia followed her and grabbed her waist from behind. Abigail shrieked as Natalia lifted her up and threw her on the bed. Abigails tried to roll away but Natalia caught her wrists and pinned her to the bed. Abigail laughed as tried to get away from under her girlfriend. But Natalia wasn't laughing anymore. She wasn't even smiling. She'd realised what position they actually were in and felt a great need to kiss Abigail. Abigail stopped laughing too when she realised that Natalia had stopped. She gazed into her eyes with concern but Natalia just couldn't bring her eyes off her lips.

"What?" Abigail muttered questioningly smiling nervously at her.

Natalia didn't answer. She just inched her face closer and closer to Abigail's until their noses where touching. She stopped there so that Abigail would have a chance to back away if she didn't want this. Natalia could feel Abigail's breath on her lips and it made her dizzy to think that her lips could be on hers any minute now. Suddenly Abigail drew a sharp breath before leaning up to crash her lips against Natalia's, catching her by surprise. Natalia soon melted into it and let go of Abigail's wrists to move her hands to her face, placing both of her hands on her cheeks, strokening them with her thumbs to deepen the kiss. Abigail let go of the long forgotten cheetos and threw her arms around Natalia's neck, pulling her closer. All the tension built up between the two was now released and both girls couldn't have been more happy about it. And to sum up the rest of their night you could only use the words 'cuddles, kisses, cheetos and Dance Moms'.

Natalia smile at the memory, a tear rolling down her cheek. She can't wait to be reunited with her if there was such a thing as heaven.

Suddenly she hear steps walking in the wings. She feel her heart beating faster. Is that the one? Is that the person who's going to kill her? She turn her head to the side and can see a silhouette of someone in the shadows. Yes, it's surely the murderer because this person has a gun in their hand. Natalia turn her head forward looking out at the rows of seats again. She sighs heavily before she opens her mouth to speak.

"Just get it over with." she mutters.

She can see out of the corner of her eye how the silhouette steps into the light. Out of curiosity, Natalia turns her head to see who it is. She raises her eyebrows at the sight of Cornelia Webber. She's actually very surprised, Cornelia always seemed like the shy type, not really capable of something like she's done.
Cornelia raises the gun to Natalia's head, not even blinking, her eyes showing no emotion. Suddenly Natalia is overwhelmed by a need to know the motivation behind all of this. She turns to look at Cornelia, her eyes filling with tears.

"Why?"she whisper, but Cornelia just stares back at her.

"Why?!" Natalia screams a little louder.

"Because you were sinning!" She says hurriedly. "And sinners must be punished..." She says and Natalia can sense her death coming closer.

"How did she sin?! How does someone so sweet and caring deserve to die?! All because the gender of whom she loved?!" Natalia screams but Cornelia doesn't answer.

Natalia closes her eyes and tries to think of happier moments. Her parents, friends and Abigail.

Robert creeps up behind the short girl, takes a deep quiet breath before punching her shoulder hard, making her drop the gun as she whimpers, clutching her shoulder and turning around. Robert is quick to kick away the gun from the girl. Cornelia tries to run, but he stops her and kicks her in the hollow of the knee, causing her to fall to the ground. Robert hurries to sit down on her back, bringing her arms behind her back, holding them there.

"Cornelia Webber, you are under arrest for the murder on Abigail Kennedy. You have the right to remain silent, everything you say can and will be used against you."

Cornelia doesn't even struggle underneath him, she seems to have accepted her fate.
Two police men that had been standing guard outside the theatre earlier rushes in, taking Robert's place and dragging the girl to a standing position before walking against the doors with her.

"Natalia, are you alr-" Robert freezes in the middle of a step as he sees Natalia.

She's picked up Cornelia's gun and is pressing it to her head.

Okey, guys, I'm sorry I haven't updated in so long. It's just hard right now, my grandpa just passed away and my brother is struggling with some serious sickness... But as I like to say: Better late than never!!
Anyway, tomorrow I have to hand in my school computer over the summer break, and that' really sad because I really do everything on my school computer! So it'll be harder for me to update during the break, but I'll try my best!!
What do you think will happen next? Will Natalia shoot herself? Will Cornelia go to jail? Will Carl go to jail? Just wait and see..
Love y'all!!
