Evelyn's POV:
I went to Natalie's secret place and I saw it's been shovelled. Near the entrance was a note and the words hit me like a truck. I then saw the knife and picked it up, without missing the blood. I gagged, knowing what she had done. I walked solemnly back to my office and called the boy who had brought Beatrice.
"Yes ma'am?"
"I'll be going out to visit Beatrice. Call Johanna for me." He left and returned in a few minutes with Johanna.
"Eve? What is this I hear about you seeing Beatrice? You haven't seen her since your 'funeral.'"
"She visited two days ago. Her mother left when she found out her parents were killed by Beatrice. Unfortunately, Natalie had killed herself to be with her grandmother." Johanna gasped and silently broke into tears.
"What? Andrew and Caleb will clearly blame this on Beatrice!"
"I know. Which is why I'm seeing her today. Natalie left a note and it shows that Beatrice should be the one to have the knife." I retrieved a tissue and cleaned the knife free of blood without noticing the freshness of it. Johanna collected herself.
"I'm coming with you. I need to see my daughters." I bit my lip, and nodded as I'm not only going for Beatrice. Johanna and I disguised ourselves and set off towards the Pedrad's.
Natalie's POV:
I woke up from my sleep with a jolt. It hasn't even been 5 hours but the room was moving,... not like a straight up and down motion, but just forward. I bent my eyebrows in concentration, and the moving stopped. I looked around and was startled to see a window of sorts. I looked out and I looked up at a figure who's face was turned away from me. I gasped as I recognized the long nose... Evelyn?
"Oh." I said softly. "I must be an angel of sorts, looking at others."
Will's POV:
I heard a knock on the front door and went to open it as no one else heard it. Two ladies were smiling and I cocked (don't even.) my head in confusion.
"Hello, we need a girl who goes by the name Beatrice?" The old lady asked and I nodded.
"TRIS!"
"WHAT?" She screamed back.
"SOME LADIES ARE HERE FOR YOU!" I turned to see Tris sprinting towards us and she stared at the ladies in confusion before widening her eyes in recognition.
"Evelyn? Johanna?" The ladies nodded and grinned.
"MARLENE! LYNN! SHAUNA! THERE IS A SURPRISE FOR YOU!" She shouted gleefully. The three girls dashed towards us with the others in tow. The three girls skidded and were as confused as I was. The younger lady took off her wig and the girls gasped loudly.
"Mum?" Marlene whispered. Johanna, I'm guessing was led away with the girls and the rest of us just stood there awkwardly.
"Tobias. This is your mum." Tris smiled and Tobias opened his mouth and closed it like a fish then scratched his head sheepishly. Evelyn reached out her hand and caressed his cheek.
"My little boy has grown so big. Tobias, I am sorry. I shouldn't have left. I should have either stayed or taken you. But I couldn't do that as the plan had to go underway. I love you." Tobias nodded and excused himself. Christina rubbed my arm and dragged me away from the group. Zeke and Uriah decided to goof around in the games room.
Tris's POV:
I felt bad for Tobias since his mum has literally resurrected from the dead. Evelyn stepped in and I shut the door behind her. We both went into the conservatory and I paced the room as I knew there were bad news since she came, not one of her minions.
"Tris. I don't know how to say this. Your mother was not at the place but there was a note left behind. She has committed suicide." I stopped in step and turned to Evelyn.
"She what?" I shouted. Zeke and Uriah ran in, wide-eyed. Tears were streaming down my face and I was shaking uncontrollably. Uriah scooped me up and sat down with me in his lap.
"I'm sorry. I found the knife she used and she wants you to have it." Evelyn had a knife in her hand and I backed away from it and Zeke took it, sensing that I was uncomfortable. Johanna swooped into the room and strutted over to me. She knelt down beside us and stroked my cheek.
"Beatrice, she loved you. Don't take it the wrong way." Lynn sat next to Uriah and rubbed my shoulder. Marlene and Shauna were consulting Zeke about what happened. Tobias returned with a thoughtful look on his face and he looked up, scanning the room, surprised at the sight but when he saw me, his face changed to a look of concern.
She committed suicide... Why? Why the hell would she do such a thing to me? Well, listen to yourself Tris, you're being a hypocrite. You were all set to do it before. But why am I caring? Wasn't it me or denied her? Wait, it was her fault. Right? Yes, of course it was! But now, I simply can't believe it.
"Tris? Tris? Tris!" I snapped my head up from Uriah's chest and glared at Marlene.
"Whoa, don't look at me like that. Are you okay?" I looked away from her and saw 10 pairs of eyes on me. I knew I looked like crap but I didn't let that bother me.
"Oh yeah, I'm great. I found out my mother stabbed herself and has left the knife -that she used- for me to have. How awesome is that(!)" Uriah scoffed and I let a small smile take over. A thought occured to me and when I looked at Will, he had the same thought.
"Where's her body?" Evelyn's eyes lit up in realisation.
"I don't know. It's possible she stabbed herself and dragged herself elsewhere to spare us the depressing sight of her." I rolled my eyes, of course. I pushed myself off Uriah and stood up.
"Okay. I'm going to have to get over this because you know, stress isn't good for this pregnant lady. Or should I say, girl? Screw this. Give me the knife, Z." He tossed it and I caught it in my right hand, but without feeling as if I had got powerful. I shook it off and examined the knife. It had some foreign language and I could only make out, 'Spirit'. I shrugged and threw it at the wall, making everyone jump in fear.
"Relax guys. I have accurate aim, it's not like I'm going to kill you." I chuckled.
"Yeah but when your hormones kick in fully, you'd be considering it." Marlene said.
"Who said I'm not considering it now?" I smirked when everyone shared scared looks. I shrugged with my hands upright and mock laughing face. I combed my hair with my fingers and walked towards the kitchen, feeling a little weak from when I threw the knife.
Natalie's POV:
Well, this is strange." I mused. "How exactly am I supposed to control this thing? I'm sort of a guardian angel, I guess. The window is solid anyway and there's no indication of it being able to open so I could reach Beatrice and Evelyn. I'll just have to watch then." I sat back and watched with love and passion for those in sight bursting at my seams.
Evelyn's POV:
I still can't get over the fact she did this. Maybe if we found her body, we can find out more... My brain started whirring and I paced in time with my thoughts. 7.3, 8 x 21, 3!
"Wait," I said suddenly, causing Tris to stop just before exiting the room. "if Natalie stabbed herself and dragged herself away, she would have had only three minutes to live. If she dragged herself, I would have seen her. She couldn't have gone far in her weakening state, especially since she had just three minutes to do it." Tris stood there, facing me with an ice cold stare, I looked around and saw the confusion on everyone's faces.
"I thought you were best friends? You're meant to know that no matter how weak she can get, she'll keep going strong. Where do you think I got my stubbornness from, huh? She's gone. It isn't like she's doing what you did. Fake her own death so things can calm down because Marcus is in prison, she escaped from torture and because her other best friend raped me. We all know she wouldn't do that. She is gone. There's no point in conspiring theories because all of them will end in the same way. Oh wait, it's possible it's homicide. You know, where someone else helps with the suicide? So her body could be in the deepest parts of the forest. Or maybe she's alive, bleeding to death out there. So just get over it. And yes, this is my way of grieving. Now a girl's gotta eat. And I bet that after this, I'll be apologising so please don't be offended. I'm just being the harsh girl who is hiding the coward."
Natalie's POV:
I'm stunned. Simply stunned. How in the world was my body not there? I didn't drag myself away, obviously! The knife... I simply collapsed in a flash of light, then darkness. I'm sure I died. What's happening? What went wrong and why?
Evelyn's POV:
I grabbed my coat and ran out, ignoring different cries of protests. I needed to find her body. If there was one to find. I had the slightest idea, an impossible one but if we didn't find the body, there were still two solutions.
OMG. So what did Natalie really do? Oh wait, BonnieSilver888 and I know, how ironic. But don't worry, the truth will come out... or not? Hah, I'm just joking. Or am I? Till later, BooksLover2000... The poll is still up, guys!
