Love or Death

Untitled Part 1

I

It was midnight, and Jayla's phone started to ring. "Buzz, buzz". Jayla moaned, got her phone and answered it.

"What do you want?" she asked not fully conscious..

"You must help." The croaky voice said.

"Is this some kind of joke?" she said trying not to sound scared.

"That was a mistake Jayla. Know I'll be with you forever. Or must I say you will be with me forever." like that the call disabled. Leaving her in a mess. 'What the heck was that', who could that be, what did she want with her. But the most important thing what did 'you will be with me forever mean'. Once the thought came to her head she heard her mom calling her.

"Jayla" She ran out of her room and to her parents' room. She knocked and knocked but no answer so she opened the door a little bit and found her parents fast asleep. Then she heard it again "Jayla" but then she realized it came from her own room. She stood in front of her room for about 10 minutes but nothing happened. So she thought she just imagined the voices. So she went back and laid in her bed. Slowly she started drifting back to sleep....

She dreamt she was lying in her nice warm bed. Scared to leave it. Scared if she did she would freeze to death. Once she let her fear take over her a voice whispered 'oh you'll met death very soon. You'll get a chance to be close friends with him. But know that love is always stronger. Do you want to know why? It is because everyone thinks love is the key to everything. Like people say 'love is an open door' but trust me all love would ever do is close doors. You would have to choose between your loved ones and your closest friend. You will never be left alone. Although my twin, death, would probably be more generous. You see me is never nice. As hard as it is to get. You will always regret it at the end. Death i don't think you would regret at all. The sound of someone screaming came 'that sound is my twin seeking for you. I am way more powerful then he is. Love can kill people. Just like i've killed him'. She jolted up in her bed

Something came limping towards jayla's bed

"This is what you'll get." it said while lerking towards the bed.

"What did I do?" she asked still not getting what she did wrong.

"You will be all alone for your lifetime. You will never be loved. You will have no one to turn to but me. And believe me if you don't do as I tell you there will be consequences."he said, as he pulled out a Cinquedea(a type of dagger) that was still dripping with blood.

"But that still doesn't answer my question what did I do?"

"First command is to shut up and look up."

"Are you death?"

He stiffened "i said shut up and look up"

Jayla obeyed the simple commands and looked at the wide ceiling without a breath. The figure came closer to jayla and pointed the dagger to a point on Jaylas throat. He adjusted her head so his hand was tilting her chin up even more.

"Good girl. Next I want you to kill your parents." before jayla could say anything he continued "they'll be too much of a distraction for our work. And if you don't....." he ran the dagger down her throat.

"But I can't! They are my parents! How could you ask me to do something like that?!" Jayla shrieked. She could feel the guys mouth turning into a smirk but as he did he ran the dagger deeper into her throat. Instead of getting an answer he continued.

"I want you to kill them the same way my parents killed me." "But why?" again no answer. Was this guy that deaf. He continued " Pretend that you love them, once you've earned their trust backstab them. Leaterly stab them with this knife. It will appear when the time comes. And trust me I don't need a knife to kill, I'm deadlier than any weapon combined. So I wouldn't do anything funny is I were you. Do I make myself clear"l?" All he got was a nod and he smiled.

"Why are you like this?" jayla asked she asked with tears streaming down her face.he sat on the edge of her bed.
