[Rated #389 in Insanity]
"Oh my God! You just killed her!!" I screamed, covering my mouth, staring at the gore that was displayed in front of me.
Erith stood in the corner, hugging a knife tightly to his chest, eyes wide and staring at me. His clothes and hands were splattered with dark, red, blood.
"Adrian.." He mumbled, pointing the knife in my direction, right at my face. His voice made him sound like he was dazed, like he was half asleep. "Do you love me, now?"
What? Why would he kill my sister?! What does he mean?! Why can't he just leave me alone?! What did he do?!
"Y-You're i-insane!!" I cried out, tears welling in my eyes as I backed up. I made a mistake.
I backed myself up in a corner!
Erith hummed, head tilting to the side a bit as he stepped closer to me, lips pressing against mine gently.
It was dark, twisted, I hated it. I just wanted to go home!!
"You love me, don't you?"
