Chapter 7, Murderer
After we got Evilyn clothed and kitted I went up to roof. I got to the very top and sat down. This was all my fault… if I had just stayed at home then, none of this would happen. I curled up into a ball and cried. They were silent tears, but they were still tears. I looked up at the moon, cheeks glistening. This was the only light outside. I cried out. “Why me, why am I the one with all the bad luck,” I stood up, still looking at the moon, “Why must I be the bad guy, can’t this be someone elses fault.” I got no answer, the wind blew through my hair, a cool, gentle breeze. “You ok..?” I turned round. Masky had climbed up to the roof.
I ran down to him and hugged him. I couldn’t hide it any longer. “I can’t take it anymore, this is all too much for me, I-.” I stopped myself, I didn’t know what to say. “I don’t want to live with this nightmare anymore, I want to end myself… right here, right now.” He hugged me back, tight but… nice at the same time. “I’m sorry, this is all my fault, if I had just stayed at home, none of this would have happened.” I didn’t feel safe in Masky’s arms anymore, I felt as if I would never be safe again. I tried to push him away, but his grip was too strong, I wanted to jump off the roof, knowing it would end me. I’d end up a lost soul.
Masky eventually loosened his grip, his hands found mine. Our fingers locked, he held up our hands so we could both see. “I would never let you die, I’ll always be by your side.” I looked up at him, tears in my eyes. “Even when everyone else leaves you, I’ll be next to you, no matter what.” I didn’t know what to do. We ended up kissing in the moonlight. “Sis I’m ready to-” Evilyn had gone up to the roof. I fell back in shock. “Evilyn, w-what are you doing up here.” She started laughing, Masky helped me up to my feet. Evilyn just kept laughing. I was so fucking embarrassed, my twin sister (who is younger than me) had walked in on me… kissing a boy! “Wow, I never thought you’d ever get a guy, but here you are having a bit of a moment with one, talk about shame.”
Things got better though, right? Wrong. Evilyn ended up telling everyone about it. I wanted to fucking slit her throat. Me and Masky ended up having to hide in the attic so we wouldn’t get bombarded by psychopaths fangirling over this. After that hell of a buldoze, I ended up smacking Evilyn (quite a lot since I was so pissed off at her). After a lot of yelling, I went outside. I knew that to make a portal to hell I needed blood, but not human… animal.
There was only one way to get close to an animal, and it’sto be an animal. The lucky thing with being a cat hybrid was that I could transform into a cat. Prowling through the forest brought me back to the old days with mother. We’d always go out together in the middle of the night, catching mice and counting stars. I was able to kill a wolf, with a full flask of blood, I turned back to human. I got back into my clothes and went to a clearing in the woods. “Sorry guys, but this is a one only gateway to hell, no plus ones”, I couldn’t help but mutter to myself.
I drew a large pentagram on the emerald grass. It glowed a midnight black and a swirling vortex opened below me. I was falling. I kept falling and falling, no end. I ended up slamming onto the rocky floor of the underworld. A searing pain shot through my back as I landed. I gathered up all my strenght and stood up. I looked around… my childhood waas all in front of me. “Kathrin… is that you?” A voice called out from the distance. “Star… Star where are you!?” She came running up to me, she looked scared. “Star… w-what happened?” Her clothes were torn, her skin was stitched together, her… her mouth was stitched at the sides with a small hole so she could still talk. “Kathrin, it’s your dad, he’s gone on a rampage across hell, he-… he’s killing us all.”
