Chapter 2 bellum

Cruelty and depraved thoughts, this is it. The two girls were back where they belonged in an apartment that was theirs all alone. Both girls were 20 years old but still a year apart if not ten months difference in age; it didn't really matter. The older one stood in front of the other as she wrapped the other girl's hands in bandages. The young neither winced nor whimpered. The pain was all the same; just pain. Her face was stoic and without life. She was emptied of humanity. All she did was stare at the gentle porcelain hands wrapping hers.

No, life was not suppose to turn out this way she thought. The second chance meant she would, they would, be happy. The birds would finally be free from that small and restrictive cage only to find that they existed in a much large cage that was slowly creeping around them threatening to crush them all. However as birds, they were exotic types. They were not just song birds. No, their song was a harsh screeching song if they were song birds. They were startling beauties with marvelous talons and glinting eyes.

"I'm done…" the older girl said stepping back throwing away all the bloody gauze and the fragments of glass that had found their way into the younger girls hands.

"Thanks…I'm going to make them pay." The younger girl said with a low voice. The other girl just finished cleaning up and walked away putting her hand to her mouth restricting herself from screaming. She knew it would do no good.

A blood bath is what they want. Then they shall drown in their own blood.
