The Killers

I was walking on the road under the midnight blue when I saw a silhouette of a man: his broad shoulders, slender legs and the masculine feature of him against the moonlight that gave me a fine shivered as the cold wind touches my bare skin. My heart's pounding uncontrollably, when his eyes darted on me, a sinister look of a killer. His eyes filled with bloody history and dark memories, his face was closely familiar by the aura and the shape. 
"I know him, I've been looking for him for too long", I uttered, but does not audible 
"Why would you look for me?", he asked me as if he really hears me.
My forehead creased, my eyebrows arched, my body trembled with anger and my voice cracked,
"YOU KILLED MY SISTER!!"
"How could I've had done that, if you could do it by yourself?", he said while forming a smile
"What do you mean!?"
"You want me to say that I killed my sister!?", I asked him sarcastically
"Nope. I want you to know that you are the killer and not me!", he said frantically
"Huh!! Why would I killed my sister!?,
"After all you are the only person in the scene when my sister died, so you are the only suspect here!!, I said in a loud voice
"Yes, I'm on the scene, but I didn't kill your sister!", he said while tears started to form in his eyes
"Do you think I will believe on you?"
"If you didn't kill her, then who?, I muttered in a calm voice
"I don't care if you don't believe on me, but it is the truth! You killed your own sister!", he said, but I am not sure if he's just convincing me.

"Remember July of 2017 when he gone missing, it almost two weeks, but you and fucking police officers still didn't find her, so I toridly do my best to find her, I even gone for days without eating or even sleeping inorder to locate her, but I failed!! I want to find her, but I don't know how.
I'll go to the nearest bar to drink alcohol beverages, 'cause I thought this is the best remedy to forget about her for awhile. I need to rest, but how could I do that, if I know she's not alright, If I know she's missing for fucking two weeks, If I know she's wasted, and maybe had done bad things to herself!! He said as he tried not to sob and hiccup
One time I received calls from her, 5 consecutive calls, I thought I was just hallucinating that I received calls from her, but I realised something was off and my dazed turns to be a nerve wrecking and a signed of concern. I dialed her number and seconds later I heard her voice, "Gelo?", she asked, but after I heard her voice, the sound of crushing and bushing echoed under my ears. I furrowed and called her name again "ella!!!"
"What's wrong!?"
The line was kept on going, but everything doesn't audible enough to hear their conversations clearly, I just heard her shouting and screaming the name "Carl!!". There is a sudden storm and chaos inside my mind after I heard her voice again, "he-e--help me, gelo!!"
"I'm here ———, the line suddenly stopped,
Someone cutted the line.
I want to inform it to the police station, but I badly needed to see her now, if she's fine, so I go by myself and think about her favorite place—carl's favorite place. This time I saw her bathing with her own blood—lifeless and alone in their country house.
I hugged her lifeless body—still warm, but there's no any hint of pulse.
Moment later, police arrived on the scene together with you—late.
Maybe she's still alive, if I not encounter traffic, if ever I pick-up her calls, and if you don't betrayed her!!!
I stopped for a moment because his words slowly swallowing my whole system, I want to know why he keep on insisting me that I killed my sister, that I am the real killer.
"Prove it!!", I said unexpectedly
"I know you don't like your sister, 'cause she got everything you don't have, the attention, the fame and the man you once love!!, he said while looking at me seriously
"Do you think, I killed my sister for that!?", I said in gritted
"No, but it's enough for you to betrayed her!", he uttered
"Hahahahhahaha!! You've gone crazy, man!", I said in a sing sang voice
"Betrayed!?, It is an explanation or your own excuses?, I snorted
"You are not that innocent to not know ellaine! Don't act like as if you don't really know!! You had a relationship with her boyfriend!, his baritone voice filled my ears
"SHUT UP!!! It is an old mistake, I left carl before my sister died!! so don't accused me that I killed her 'cause after all it's not a suicide case to be burden on me!", I said while tears streaming down my face
"Yes. It is not a suicide case because you killed her!! Carl killed your sister for you!!!, he said while pointing me with disgust

Those words make me feel ashamed and gasped for the air, I am crying a loud while holding my chest. The same feeling when my mom and dad chose to pamper and give all their attention to her, the same feeling when both of my parents died in an accident, the same feeling when I learnt that the person she's into is carl, the same feeling when she died— murdered, and the same feelings when I discovered that carl killed her. I don't expect that carl will turn out to be the killer—that he could had done so much for me. I must be happy that he loves me more than my little sister, that he chose me over her, and he had done a lot of things for me, but I feel so bad for this—the way it ends to the both of us.

Flash back:
"I'm sorry carl, but we need to stop this!", I said while remaining composed
"What's wrong ellaine?"
"Did your sister find out?", he asked me confused
"NO", I answered as I lifted my head
"Then why?", he asked me trying to cup my face with his both hands
"I realised that this relationship should not happened at the very beginning"
"This is wrong, CARL!!", I shouted
"NO, this is not wrong, I love you and You love me! We both all know that!!", he said while looking into my eyes
"We broke up, ellaine!", he said in a grin

My eyes cannot hold it any longer, my tears drifted on my cheeks down to my chin as I heard his words again, "We broke up!"
"Is it the reason why my sister, still not coming home?"
"Is she's alright?", those words are the only things vibrating on my ears back and forth.
"What have you done, carl?!!"
"I'm sorry but I love my sister more than  what you think!!
"Let's stop this!!"
"I'll go find my sister!!, I said in a hurry—composed and emphasized.
I thought everything will be fine now, after I left him, but I'm wrong...
"You remember now!?" He asked me, taking me back to the reality
"I know you still receiving calls from carl and oftenly picked it up, like nothing happened!!"
"How's your realtionship with him?"
"You don't even feel guilty!"
"While me, imprisoned and haunting by my conscience, even though I am not the killer and the only sin is loving her!!", his words are dagger—sharp
"Ellaine, I'm watching every moves you made"
"Be observant 'cause I will make your life miserable, until you will know the feeling of being outcasted and wasted!!", his word makes me mute for awhile
"You're wrong!, I just pick up his calls 'cause I didn't know he is the real person behind my sister's death and I just want to start my life again", I said while looking straight into his eye
"No hatred, no regret, and live my life with a brand new day!",  I said in teary eyes
"Brand new day!? Are you out of your mind, after what happened?!!, he asked me in a blood shot
"It's enough, all this years I regret that I've done a lot of bad things to my sister", I said while heads up and trembling
"No it's not enough 'cause you are the real killer, ellaine!", he said while pacing me back.
"Why is it always unfair!? Why it should be me—the one who's suffering here!!"
"WHY IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE ME!!?", I shouted in the high pitch tone.

After he turned away, he started to walk, leaving me frezy and questioning myself—my worth.

"NoOOOO, It's US!, remember you agreed with my plan to get my sister!", I said to myself while he distanced.

I am wronged and I am really sorry for that!!
