Now my sweet child, the time has come, her mom whispered, for what, she asked confused. I have a special task for you, the time has come to perform the ritual. What ritual mom, oh just listen dear, let me finish, when a King is of age there's a special ritual we perform, who are these kings you speak of mom, you dear, replied Dustin, your name is Eden King. Oh sorry, replied Eden with a smile, continue, so as I was saying, there is a ritual of killing your best friend, for every King. We owe it to our ancestors, what did you say, said Eden in a low tone, I said we owe it to our ancestors, no mom before that, you mean I have to kill Eve, she asked with a louder panicked voice, you're joking, she said with a nervous giggle. No I'm not my sweet, your dad did it, I did it when I got married into the family, it's your turn to carry on the legacy, of killing people, she muttered, disgust clear on her face. She turned to her dad, who just nodded in approval, she turned to Louise, how are you so calm Louise, did you know about this. Yes I did, I'll also have to kill my best friend after marrying you, a huge thud was heard at the kitchen door. They all turned to see Eve on the floor, her face was pale and covered in sweat, no, don't kill me, said stuttered, don't kill me, she repeated, shivering in place.
Eden felt something cold on her side, take it and fulfil your destiny, her mom whispered in her ear. She took the gun and headed towards Eve, she grabbed her and they ran for the door, Eden and Eve kept stumbling due to the darkness. I don't want to die Eden, she said sobbing, look at me, she cupped her face in her hands, I would never kill me, you're like a sister to me, ok, Eve calmed down a little, feeling reassured. We just need to get to the door and run into the woods so they can't find us. They ran to the door, Eden pushed and pulled but the door was locked, nooo, screamed Eve as Everleigh dragged her by the hair, mom, she screamed at the top of her lungs. Mom, please don't hurt her please, she pleaded in tears, but I must, said Everleigh, if you can't kill her then I will, no one ever said it had to be done by the best friend you know, just a king, so don't you worry dear I'll take care of this for you, no mom she's like my sister I can't watch you kill her, then close your eyes girl, mom please, she pleaded, this time on her knees and with folded hands. Stupid girl, you won't get anywhere like this, how do you think we got all this, you have to do the dirty work, it has to be done, and if you stand in my way you'll have to die too, she said, as she shot at Eden, Eden dodged resulting in the bullet hitting the door. Eden tried to use her gun, but Louise snatched it from her.
So you'd rather kill your own mom, said Everleigh laughing, you tried to kill me first, and you are not a mom, shut up, she said and fired the gun again, Eden, screamed Eve as she jumped into bullet which went through her head, she died on the spot. She plopped down onto Eden's laps, her blood gushed onto Eden's dress, turning the part blood red. Eve, Eveee, screamed Eden as she shook her, she held her face in her shivering hands, you killed her, Eden stuttered looking up at her mom, you're a monster, she yelled, how dare you kill my sister. Oh Please spare me the real family fake family bullshit will you, her mom said unbothered, since you obstructed the ritual you can join her, she pointed the gun at Eden. No you don't have to Ever, Dustin cut in, oh shut up Dusty, you care too much about people, Eden closed her eyes and accepted her faith, by the way what did she have to live for. She heard a gunshot, but she felt fine, she opened her eyes to see it was her dad that had been in the chest, Eny dear, he said gasping for air, run. Eden gasped on seeing her dad like that, she couldn't believe that two people had sacrificed their lives for her in such a short time. She carefully placed Eves head on the floor and took off towards the door, she heard yet another gun shot and screamed because of the pain she felt on her leg, but she wouldn't let their sacrifice go in vain. She took off into the woods, get her Louise and kill her, Everleigh screamed and giggled like a maniac.
Louise chased after her following the trail of blood, Eden, where are you, he said in a sing song tone, Eden hid behind a tree, she covered her mouth and tried to fight the pain and control her breathing, trying not to make a sound. Unfortunately for her, she left a trail of blood, found you, Louise said in excitement, which made Eden jump out of fear, she screamed due to the pain in her leg. Louise you don't have to do this, she said fearfully, an evil smirk formed on his face, but I do, if the ritual is interrupted by someone they have to die too, don't you know, if not we'll be poor, you don't want me to be poor do you, he said in a mocking tone. Then tell me Louise, how will you become a King without me, she asked hopefully, don't worry about it, he replied with a grin. Louise backed her up to a tree, he ran the gun from her forehead to the side of her face, which made her shiver. I really did like you, you know, but you just had to save your friend didn't you. So now I'm forced to kill you, then just don't kill me, let me go I'll never come back, Everleigh would never know.
I'm sorry but I can't do that, if someone obstructs the ritual they have to be killed, Eden burst into tears and slid down into a sitting position, Louise backed up and pointed the gun at her. I don't even know you guys I just woke up and I was here, I don't want to die, she continued crying hoping he'd take pity on her, he was her boyfriend after all. Don't worry Eden, I'll make it quick, he said a bit sadly, Eden looked up, everything was a blur due to all the crying, she heard him cock his gun, it's time, she said to herself and closed her eyes. Goodbye Eden, he said and pulled the trigger, her body fell to the ground with a thud.
