Chapter 4
Her eyes consumed my stare, burning like a raging fire. I wanted so badly just to tear them out of their sockets and out of my mind.
Nina ripped the monitoring cords from her body. The line monitoring her heart rate went flat and a loud sound rang in my ears.
She stood up from the hospital bed, without once tearing her eyes away from mine.
"What are you going to do, sis? Offer another chance at appeasement?" I taunted.
She reached her hand over and slapped me across the face. I kicked her leg with the point of my heel. In retaliation, my sister punched me in the face and, almost immediately, whirled behind me. She grabbed hold of my arms and held them behind my back. Her grip was tight, but I knew a way out of it. I slipped from her grasp.
"Play time's not over!" I shouted at her.
I had practice breaking strong holds and getting out of tight situations. In father's neglection, my mother would teach me things to keep my mind occupied. Becoming like Houdini was only one of them.
Nina, of course, did not look very happy at my actions, she delivered an array of kicks to my legs and my stomach.
"Forfeit the game!" my sister commanded.
I arose from the floor and landed a high kick to her face. A bit of blood spurted from her lower lip.
"What reason do I have? You've caused nothing but trouble. It's time to put an end to you!"
Nina sat up and wiped the blood from her mouth with the back of her hand. She swept her legs under mine before rising to a standing position.
She grabbed me by the arm, but I shrugged her off. I pulled at her shoulders and flipped her over me and threw her across the room to the other side. After rising up from the floor, she leaped up onto the bed. Nina kicked at me as she jumped back down a few feet to ground level. After rising up, I could see that my sister was losing strength. The neurotoxin was taking effect yet again. I pulled out another dagger from my attire.
"Where did you get that?" She said. Her voice was not much different than before, just a little less firm. But by the looks of her, bloodshot eyes, red blood spurting from her lip, scratches to her face, Nina didn't look too energetic or up to the fight her mind wanted to put up.
"A friend." I drew the knife to her neck and Nina spat in my face.
"What friends do you have? You and I both know that we shall forever travel alone."
"Well, for you forever ends now!" I spoke harshly to my twin.
Just then out of the corner of my eye, I saw a figure behind me. I couldn't make out the person silhouette's, but I paid no heed. Slowly I pushed into my sister's neck but no scream escaped her.
"You will gain nothing from this, Anna."
"Nothing," I repeated. "Nothing but pleasure."
"Sick pleasure." The voice was almost whispered in my ear. I shuddered as a finger ran down my spine. A gasp escaped my lips. I moved my head ever so slightly so as to keep an eye on my older sibling while still being able to get a good look at my captor. Steve Fox. My nephew.
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see a leg lift. But I wasn't quick enough. Nina knocked the dagger from my grasp. I let it fall but I quickly spun on my heel and pulled Steve's arm to the side, bringing his leg toward me, and pushing down on his chest until his back cracked satisfyingly against my knee.
Nina moved to stab my stomach but I did my best to evade her attacks. The knife landed in my leg. I kicked into her with the other, buying myself some time. I pulled the dagger from my thigh and stabbed it into her stomach. She was already too weak to survive this.
Before she hit the floor I grabbed her and held her face in my hands. I looked into her blue eyes one last time. "Sweet dreams, dear sister." I planted a kiss to her lips and dropped her down to the floor.
I turned and walked, as best as I could, out of the room. On my way out, I stepped on my nephew in the abdomen, drilling my heel into him as I went.
I laughed, my voice echoing through the halls.
I chanced a glance back into the room as Steve held his mother as she slowly faded away.
