I looked down at the dead squirrel, and sighed.
I never wanted this.
I cleaned off the knife using a napkin that i stashed into my pocket, and also used it to clean the blood off my hands.
I turned around, and made my way out of the woods. It was still fairly dark out, and I was sure that my parents weren't awake.
As I made my way onto the road, i felt something poke my back. As I was about to turn around, I was stopped, and I heard a familiar voice.
"Don't move"
Steve. Oh, that son of a bitch.
"Steve, what the hell?"
"You know what. Don't act like I'm an idiot, either".
"No, seriously. What is it?"
"It's you".
Steve walked around me until he was facing me.
"Steve, what do you want with me?"
Steve lifted up what appeared to be a stake, and put the end of it against my chest.
"I think that'll give you an idea of what I want"
"It was an acciden-"
Steve slapped me across the face
"Lies!"
"Listen to me! Steve, why do you want this?"
"Darren, listen to me right now. You stole my place".
"Steve. I never wanted to be like this. If you'll just listen to me-"
"Shut up!"
"I thought we were friends"
"Well, I thought we were friends too, until you betrayed me!"
"I didn't betray you. I did this to save your life. I thought-"
"Sure, Darren. You're screwed. Even if I decide not to kill you, you're screwed".
"Steve, listen to me! I almost murdered my sister because of your accident. All I wanted is..."
"Say it. Say it, now.", Steve demanded.
"I only wanted to save your life, and it was the only chance".
"Bullshit! You never cared about me."
"Yeah I did! I just wanted to save your life"
"Well, now you're the monster."
"How about I give you something you've always wanted?"
"No.", Steve replied.
"Why?"
"You know why. It's because of my Destiny"
"Your what?"
"Just go, you jerk."
Steve lowered the stake, and stabbed the ground with it.
"You'll die of thirst anyway. You know you can't live off of animals like that."
At least he doesn't want to kill me.
I walked home, and made sure my parents didn't see me come in. I tiptoed into my room, and silently closed the door behind me. I went into my bed, and hid under the blanket.
