Chapter 9: Eve Is Dead

Alice….” Eleanor muttered.

“Please tell him I don’t want to be excuse.”

“Huh…, my friend is actually in a bad mood right now but it okay I can keep you company if it okay with you.” Eve concluded

“I actually….” He hesitated and then continues. “It’s my pleasure.”

“Sure. Excuse me girls.” She went to Eleanor ear and whisper to her, “Don’t wait for me, I’m going to have a long night.”

“Silly girl” Eleanor said and sip from her wine.

They walk out of the bar exit without David saying a single word to Eve.

“Where are we going?” Eve asked smiling trying to start up a conversation and end the cold atmosphere but David didn’t utter a word. Soon they arrived a lonely path.

“Wait me here.” David ordered coldly

“Okay.” Eve answer and he left. She look around the path and it was empty. “What are we doing here?” she questioned herself.

David walks to someone who was eventually standing and waiting for David some foots away. He bows his head when he got there and after a few minute he began walking away.

“Hey! David, David, hey! Where are you going?” Eve called asking and running after him but was stop by the lady standing few steps away.

“Where do you think you are going to?”

“I don’t get, who are you?” Eve asked looking at her. She seems scary. She try to look at her face but it was already dark and her head was facing the ground with a black hood covering her head and half of her face; she was putting on black all through. She seems really scary in her outfit. Eve was already scared but she tries not to show it off.

“Leave my way this second.” She said. Eleanor was about leaving but she blocked her way again. This time David was already out of sites

“Who the fuck are you?”

“You wanna know?”

“Yes, who the fuck are you?”

She remove the hood from her head leisurely, behold, it was Keisha. Seeing Keisha, Eve exhales tranquilly. “Keisha, are you nut? How dare you block my way?”

Keisha smile scornfully at Eve.

“I’m talking to you bitch….. How dare you…. “

She wasn’t able to complete whatever she was going to say before Keisha grabs her hard by her neck and raise her up.

“Put me down this minute before I descend on you.” Eve said struggling, trying to take Keisha hand off with her two hands.

She smile looking at Eve, opens her mouth and her teeth grow out.

Eve gasp in fear. She wanted to say something but her neck was hold even tighter and she couldn’t.

“You know, maybe it’s your destiny to die now. It wasn’t you I wanted, I wanted to deal with that bitch mother fucking Alice but you took her place instead, so I’m just goanna use you as a massage to them.”

She struggle for breath and tried to go free from Keisha but couldn’t.

“Don’t bother trying, you can’t, it impossible. Now go to hell.” She opens her mouth and bites her, feed on her blood leaving her body lifeless.

*********************************

Keisha was still in bed when she heard a knock on her door.

She get off her bed and walks to the door. She opened the door and to her surprise, it was Skylar. He was standing on the entrance looking handsome as ever with a flower on his hands.

“Hey” I muttered my eyes fixed on him.

“Hey. I guess I took you by surprised”

“Yeah” She nodded slowly still standing at the door exit.

“Can I come in?”

Then she realizes she was still standing at the exit. “Sure, come in.”

Skylar walk in. “You look good.”

“Really, is that flattering?”

“No, I mean you don’t look weak and sick like the other day.”

“Oh! Well thanks to God.”

“Yeah, I got you flower.” He said and handed the flower to her.

“Flower? I…” I stopped when I remember how embarrassed I was when I told Liam I don’t like flowers.

“You what?” Skylar asked

“Thanks” I collected the flower from him. “So why are you here this early?”

He sat down. “Let me say I finally give it a thought and decided to take the teacher advise and made you my tutor.”

“And you decided to come with flowers? That funny.”

“Well, I feel guilty for what they did to you the other day and I want to make it up to you.”

“With flowers? Why are you feeling guilty away?”

“I don’t know actually. I notice you were mad at me the other,”

“What? Mad at you? I wasn’t. Give me a reason I should be mad at you.”

“Maybe they were mad at you because of me for some reason I’m not sure of.”

So he thought about that too. I nodded my head in agreement.

“So how are you going to make it up to me?”

Skylar smiles. “I think I know exactly what to do.” He stands up and takes my hand. “Come with me.”

“And where are we going?”

“You we see.”

“Okay, let me change into something else.”

“That isn’t necessary. You’re okay with this. Let go.”

“Sure, After you”.

Skylar, stop his car at a spot. We had been driving for almost forty minutes before arriving at our destination. “Welcome to my cozy”, Skylar said.

I view the place from inside the car, my mouth drop open. “Where in my mother name is this place?” I whispered in my heart. Only a tree with little yellow and pitch white beautiful flower on it could be seen around and flowers from the tree spreading all over the ground like some richly decorated carpet. Skylar get down from the car and open my side door, he stretches his hand to me, “may I?”

“Sure” I said amaze and giving him my hand. “Wow! It really cozy as said here. finicky and attractive.” I said leisurely. “What’s this place?”

“Welcome to Acacia, my comfort zone.” I said raising his hands wide to the sky.

I Stare around amaze and was taken aback by the place. I have never been to a place warm, clam and peaceful such as this ever in my life. I notice a sudden bright smile on Skylar.

“Shall we?” Skylar whispered. His voice brought me back to reality.
