365 Days

Part 2

When I woke up, Xavier was still at my side. Although he was awake he just started at the ceiling with a blank face. I followed his gaze and immidiately squeezed my eyes shut. Molly’s head was hanging from the fan. 

“Xavier, I’ve had enough. We can’t let them do this to us any longer!”

“Beth, there’s nothing we can do”

“Not unless we try”

I got up and walked to the door. I took a step back and kicked the door with all the strength I had left, and to my surprise, it flew open.

“C’mon Xav. We need to get out of here”

He was at my side in a flash and hand in hand we looked for a way out. 

After walking up and down at least ten hallways we finally found the exit door. We walked out half expecting it to be a front lawn that lead to a road like usual, but what we saw was the exact opposite. We were in a beautiful field. The sun was setting and it was marvelous. There were flower beds, trees and the greenest grass I’ve ever seen.

Something is wrong.

I turned around and the building we just left was no where in sight. In its place was a graveyard, dark and eriee. Two of the graves glowed white, I walked towards them but stopped dead in my tracks when I saw what was written.

‘Here lies, Bethany Louise Parker, 1-5-1995 ~ 6-6-2014’

‘Here lies, Xavier Woods, 8-2-1995 ~ 6-6-2014’

“Hello Friends.”

Startled, I turned around too quickly I almost fell back.

“Molly? How?” Xavier said confused.

I ran to her not caring how she was there. She was just there and alive! I hugged her tightly for a long while, but let go when she didn’t return my embrace. I turned to Xavier.

My heart stopped.

There was a sliver arrow planted in his shoulder and he had fallen to his knees while clutching his elbow. He screamed and you could hear the pain. I rushed to his side, calling over my shoulder,

“Molly, Help!!”

She was always good with this kind of stuff, I was convinced she would become a nurse someday. I kneeled down beside him and tore off his shirt to get a better view of the wound. Xavier was on his back now wincing with pain, his eyes glowing and his claws out. I gripped the arrow and pulled it out. The tip was poisoned. 

“Molly, Quick!!”

She took the arrow out of my hand and examined it.

“It’s laced in a rare kind of wolfsbane, the poison is traveling slowly through his veins right now. The second it reaches his heart, that will be the end of Xavier Woods.”

She stabbed his thigh with the arrow.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING, ARE YOU MAD?” I screamed at her

I was so confused, and angry and worried at the same time. All these emotions coming at me were stressful. Once again I pulled the arrow out of Xavier’s body. He was screaming with agony. His fangs were out now. Molly was laughing. Who is this person?

“Ah Beth, you’re probably really confused right now aren’t you? Well let me clear things up.  My real name is Carmilla Bloodworth and I’m Here to end your life. I had taken over you dear friends body after mine was destroyed. And that just made it easier for me to get to you dear.”

“Why do you want me dead?”

“Because, you had everything I didn’t have. A big house, a family who love you, a sweet boyfriend, friends who would do anything for you. Everything I ever wanted, everything I ever deserved. But you, you didn’t deserve any of this. You were given it all just for being your Mother’s daughter. Do you know who Karida is?”

“Yes my dead aunt”

“Yes that’s right, and you wanna know what happened to her daughter? THIS! THIS HAPPENED! I WAS LEFT ON THE STREETS ON MY OWN! WITH NOTHING TO LIVE FOR, except getting revenge on the only people who could have taken me in. You and your family.”

“You’re crazy!”

“I may be, but at least I’m not dead”

Just then Valentine and Jake appeared behind me. I turned and dodged as they swung at me with their swords. They swung again but I was much faster. I was behind them and I slit their necks from behind, with the silver arrow I was still holding. Wow, can’t believe I was ever afraid of them. Losers.

But just as I turned I felt something pierce into my side, crushing my ribs in the process. I dropped to my knees as I heard Xavier screaming my name. I could feel blood gushing out. I sank to the ground and the blurry image of Xavier’s figure was crawling toward me.

“Sweet dreams, dear cousin” Carmilla said menacingly as she planted a kiss on my forehead. She clicked her fingers and she vanished into air.

“Beth! Beth! Talk to me Beth!”

We were both lying on the ground, facing each other, dying. We reached for each others hands. And inched ourselves closer to each other.

“I love you Xavier Woods” I whispered

“I love you Bethany Parker” He whispered back

And there we both lied on our sides, looking into each others eyes, hands intertwined, as our souls slowly drifted away from our bodies.
