One morning, Katherine leaves home and went to Rachael's place. when she got there, she rang the doorbell and Rachael came outside. "Hi, am Lizzy, I'm your new neighbor and I wish to be your friend" Katherine told Rachael. Rachael invites her in and they had some tea.
Katherine consistently visited Rachael and they became friends. On the day Katherine had decided to carry out the operation, she went to her place and they had some tea as well and as Rachael had went to get something from the kitchen, Katherine pulls out a gun and aims at Rachael's head, as she was about to shoot, Rachael utters her last words "shoot, for I won't beg but be warned for I shall not die alone, you shall come with me, my one and only friend" she said as she laughed in a maniac manner, Katherine scoffs as she pulled the trigger.
One morning, as Katherine was in her room, she hears a ring on her doorbell and surprisingly it was a woman who looks just like Rachael and claimed to be a new neighbor and Katherine also invited her in for tea but Katherine was getting suspicious so she went to get her gun but to her surprise, Rachael had disappeared "I see you have found out" a voice said from behind "Rachael, it's not possible, I...I killed you" Katherine said "I know and I'm a woman of my words, I had promised you that you would come with me and I am here to fulfill my promise" "no!" Katherine replied as she shut multiple bullets at her but to her surprise, all but one of the bullets had disappeared. The last bullet was floating in mid air "please don't kill me, I beg you" "oh don't worry, it's just one bullet straight to the brain, like you did to me" she said showing her the hole in her head. Katherine pleaded but it was of no use, she shed her last tears as she watched the bullet coming straight to her.
That was the end of Katherine's life.
