both exchanged stares.

you could feel tension in the air, so thick you could cut it with a knife. lexi sighed as played with her knife. elia stares at her with fear, she gulped. the other started pacing around the room.

"once upon a time, there were two teenaged girls. a psychopath and a sociopath. both came from abusive families. they were abused for four years, four painful years. they got beat up, to the point that they were at the brink of death. when their family ate, the food was warm and tasty, but when they ate, the food was raw and bloody. they hated their family. one day, they decided to end it. the abuse, the pain, they wanted to end everything. the psychopath stabbed her parents, she watched them bleed to death. the sociopath shot her parents, she listened to them taking their last breath. after murdering their parents, they felt free.

the adrenaline and ecstacy of killing people made them happy. it made them so happy that they made it their own job. at only the age of 15, they became the most feared mafias in the world. they got the power and success they deserved, finally."

lexi turned to elia, she had her knife in between her teeth. elia seemed confused but still terrified.

"one night, a couple of men went to theur home. they claimed to be working for their rival. both, ofcourse, executed them. as they did so, one of their close friends witnessed it. in order to protect themselves, the psycho killed the friend. as much as it hurt, they had to for them to not get in trouble. since one of their friends saw their dead friend's body, the psychopath needs to kill her as well"

lexi sadly smiled and slowly walked to elia. the other protested, crying for mercy. lexi stopped in her tracks, merely a few inches from the other. she kneeled, eye-level from elia.

"l-lexi, please d-dont do this... im n-not gonna s-snitch, im not like that!"
"im sorry, its part of the job"

lexi sighed, stealing a last glance from elia. they shared a sad stare, then lexi stabbed her chest. elia closed her eyes, a tear slipping out along with her life.

lexi exhaled deeply, massaging her temple. she grabbed her phone and texted moriah.

lexi threw her phone across the room. she groaned in the palms of her hands, as she cried silently. she already lost one, now she lost another. all because of her.

two out of five.
