Alena didn't know how long she sat at the edge of the river, but she knew it was at least past dinner when Adrienne came for her. Since they were fighting, there was no other reason for it.
'You should give up on Matthias,' Alena told her sister.
Adrienne glared at her jealously, 'So you can have him? No way. He loves me and wouldn't have you even if I didn't.'
Alena wanted to slap her sister so Adrienne would actually think. 'Really?' she asked, 'Then why did he ask me to marry him even though you are still meeting him?' Alena held up her hand that had his ring on her finger.
Adrienne's eyes narrowed. 'You witch!' she cried, 'you placed some spell on him to make him love you.'
Alena knew that if she told the truth her sister wouldn't believe and would hate her even more so she kept quiet and sadly stared out into the river.
'Answer me!' Adrienne shouted, spinning Alena around. Anger showed in Adrienne eyes and for once in her life, Alena was scared of her sister. They use to be so close and she wished she could blame Matthias for their drifting, but Alena knew it had started long be for that.
'I have done nothing to Matthias's heart and if you thought logically you would see that,' Alena told her sister, calmly. That just fueled Adrienne's anger. She pushed Alena back and watched as she fell in the river. Alena felt the cold water pull her beneath the surface and saw horror in her sister's eyes. Adrienne tried to grab for her but Alena let the water take her in.
Author's Note: I couldn't decide whether to make it an accident or murder so I did both. Anyways, Alena didn't have the right attitude for an accident. I wonder if anyone recognizes this story yet.
