twenty eight

All-day E was distant; she used the second last needle and got three bags of blood, we ate, and she went to her place. I hugged my knees to my chest tightly and cried. I didn't have my shield up, but she didn't ask once if I was ok. Were my dreams real? Can she see the future, and is it true that she wants Joy? From 2 o'clock when E left till 3 Am, I cried off and on. Finally, I drifted to sleep.

E was sitting on a grave- freshly buried in- no headstone yet, just a tiny white stick. With 'Vivian E Mort' written on it. E played with a piece of grass growing on the fresh sod. "It's peaceful." She spoke quietly. I hated that you knew this was coming... even if you didn't really know. I'm glad you couldn't read my mind like I read yours. You're a naive kid- sorry, you were a naive kid. But no more past lives for you now... taking your soul was everything I ever wanted." She breathed.

"E." I cried. "E I fucking loved you! How could you do this to me?!" I screamed.

"I wish I could have seen your face when you put the pieces together." She chuckled, lighting a smoke. She smoked it slowly, and as she finished, she doubted it on the gave suddenly I cried out in pain. She pushed herself up and walked away, I looked down to see a burn mark on my chest.

I shot up with tears in my eyes. E is going to kill me... I looked down to see a burn mark on my chest. I touched it and cringed in pain. Fuck... my phone started to vibrate, and I leaned over seeing 'E' flash on the screen. "Hello?" I choked.

"Hey. I'm outside, are you ready?" I looked at the time 11 Am.

"I... ya." I mumbled, pushing end, not giving her time to speak. I slid into her passenger seat, and she looked over at me

"You ok?" She asked and I nodded. "Vivian." She laid her hand on my thigh, and I pushed it off. "Vivian what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Just do what ever you need to do." I mumbled.

"Ok if you don't want to do this you don't have too."

"You'll find another way, I'm sure." I rolled my eyes

"Do what?" She asked and I rolled my eyes.

"Nothing," I said under my breath. She stopped at a stop sign and looked sideways at me. "What happened to your chest?" She asked.

"Nothing."

"Ok, Vivian, you need to talk to me. What the hell has been going on with you the last few days."

"Don't fucking worry about it; it won't matter shorty anyways."

"I am so confused, v-"

"I don't get why you need to have such a plan made up. Just do it now; it doesn't matter. I know the queen is a fucking lie so just kill me now."

"Vivian, close your eyes for a second." She said quickly. Thank fuck, this is all over.

I opened my eyes and looked around, E had her hand on my thigh and I looked around. "Fuck." I breathed. "Where are we?" I mumbled.

"Baffin land."

"Where?" I asked.

"Well, it's Baffin Island now."

"Baf- Canada?" I said loudly. "I'm pretty sure murder isn't any more legal here." I cross my arms.

"Who said anything about murder?"

"I know till will kill some of the fun but I been getting the dreams. You didn't count on me being actually suicidal, though, did you? Just do it and get it over with."

"Do... do you think I'm going to kill you? Also what dreams? I haven't done that to you since I showed you us."

"I'm tried, E. Just do it."

"Let's go inside." She pointed to a cabin similar to the one she took me to the evening she told me about her being a vampire. Once inside she offered to take my jacket, but the room was still chilly, so I kept it on.

"Enough of this act, E, just fucking kill me."

"Vivian, sit."

"Just fucking do it already! Would you rather I do it myself?" I asked, pulling a pocket knife out of my boot.

"Vivian! Put that away."

"Why? You want the pleasure of doing the job? Huh? So you can be happy with Joy?"

"With joy? Vivian put the fucking knife down." She reached for it, but I pulled away, flicking it open. She pushed me hard against the wall, the impact made my breath hitch, and the knife flew to the floor. I dived for it and she tackled me.
