“I killed Isabella. Look at me. I killed her.” I repeated to him. “I took your innocent sister from you. She looked like someone who’d been betrayed when I took her life. And she fought for her life as well. Look at the knife on the ground and look at the stab wounds and b***d on my body. Its proof that she fought back before I killed-,”
I didn’t get to finish as Thane’s hands closed around my throat.
I smiled with victory as he slammed me against the ground. I didn’t fight back. My hands were to my sides as he continued to strangle me with one hand while laying punches with his other hand.
I didn’t feel any pain; in fact I felt peace at being beaten by her brother.
Yes.
This was what I wanted.
Thane held me by my throat and slammed me straight through the wall of my home until we both tumbled into the living room.
A loud scream pierced through the house and I recognized the voice immediately.
My sister … She must have just returned from the search. I hoped that my men weren’t near either, they would fight to get Thane off me and I didn’t want that to happen. I didn’t want anyone to stop this from happening.
Thane needed to finish the job before anyone else got here.
Esma jumped onto Thane’s back and tried to pry him off me. “Stop it!” She screamed. “Let my brother go! He would never hurt Isabella! He would never! He loves her too much!”
I looked up at her and wished that it was true. I never thought that I would ever lay a hand on Isabella but I’d surprised myself. I hated myself and I wanted to die.
“Let him kill me.” I whispered and I knew that she’d heard me when her eyes widened in horror.
“nOOOO!” She screamed when Thane punched me again.
“I killed her …”
“Stop it please.” Esma screamed as she continued to try to get Thane off me.
“Hunter, listen to me. How are you so sure that you killed her? Tell us exactly what happened! There is no way that you killed her. You love her!” She screamed.
“I d-did.” I coughed in agony. I didn’t need the constant reminder that I’d failed her. I couldn’t handle the truth.
She jumped down from his back and dropped to the floor besides me as she pleaded with Thane to save my life.
Thane paused midair when his eyes fell on Esma’s tear streaked face.
no … Don’t feel sorry for my sister now. finish the job!
“Don’t stop.” I shouted. “Kill ME!”
Thane’s eyes narrowed and he grabbed a vase from a nearby table ready to slam it against my head.
Good.
The sooner he finished the job, the better it would be for me.
***ISABELLA***
Wake up.
Wake up.
You need to wake up Isabella.
I heard voices around me. Something was insisting for me to wake up. The voice in my head wouldn’t stop and I was trying to sleep but it just wouldn’t let me. It was trying to warn me about something that needed my attention but it was hard for me to figure out what exactly was it.
What needed my attention? What could possibly be calling out to me so strongly?
Someone I cared about was in danger.
He’s in danger … WAKE UP!
I shifted in my sleep. Was I asleep? Wherever I was, it felt weird.
I felt like I was missing some important part of me; like I was forgetting something important.
What was it? Or who was it? The force to wake up was overpowering the force demanding that I kept on sleeping.
“KILL ME!”
Everything inside of me completely stilled.
I knew that voice. Why was there so much pain and sadness there? I didn’t want there to be any pain. There should only be happiness. He should not be in pain.
