Nothing works out as plan. You could plan an evening out perfectly, correct every flaw and something or someone could ruin it.
The night Fall died, the night I saw her tossed against a rock besides the lake is something I’ll never forget. The person who killed my love will never forget it either.
A romantic picnic in the woods. Simple. Nothing too fancy, a two year anniversary. Tenting underneath the stars. That had always been Fall’s favourite.
“Don’t be silly” I remember her saying, I also remember how she tossed her long auburn hair behind her back while laughing at my ridiculousness. “It’s only a little further in the forest, I’ll get the wood for the fire, you cook dinner” her ocean blue eyes winked at me. She put on her purple jumper and walked into the woods, even now it’s hard to think she would never walk through the fern tree filled path again. I watched her walk through the close, the evening sun shining down, illuminating her face. Making her porcelain reflection even more perfect than usual. The sunset bounced off her hair, the hair I longed to play with once more.
I held her jumper as a tear falls down my face, engulfing myself in the sweet scent of fall. Until another smell becomes more prominent: blood.
Cursing at myself, I brought out my sketch pad. I could have prevented this. Staring at my last insane artwork, I saw a girl cowering under a black silhouette. I’d avenge her, that is the only choice now. My love died for nothing. Her fragile figure, was no match for the attacker, I thought while examining her bloody wounds. Scars trailed up her skin like broken glass. Strange, there was a black chalky substance up her arm in a twirling fashion. Was this to upset me? Vandalising her pale white silhouette.
Leaving the forest was not an option, I’d find out what happened to my darling, Fall.
The sound of her screams run through my head like a fang bite from a snake. Slowing releasing the poison until your body has to consume every dreadful drop. Confusion ran through her voice as the piercing shrikes continued. I ran, I ran so fast.
I trailed off towards the woods, a haunting atmosphere set in. Trapping emotions in the deep fog. I started running, chasing my thoughts. Becoming more and more consumed in my rambling brain. Fall, slowly falling to the ground not being able to help, a dark hue concealing her fate. Screaming, blood, screaming.
Blood. Blood. Blood. Her fatal look only added to her insane beauty. As twisted as it was she looked equally beautiful. Peaceful, somehow. It made me feel alive.
Alive. Alive. Alive. Something, Fall was not.
The entrance to the lake began to show. Mossy rocks and sweeping branches began to form. The lake itself glittered a cobalt blue. It flowed beautifully forever chasing itself along the stream, never coming to an end. A further reminder of Fall. Weeping willows hung over my head as craved my print along the wood. I was slowing down now. Trying to take in the twisted setting. How could something so pleasing only bring thoughts of ugliness? A frightening contradiction indeed.
And there it was: the rock. The rock, my precious Fall had been lying beside, left for death.
It was alluring, without thinking I walked over to the rock caressing it, looking for something. Anything that would allow my hunt to end. Until my hand extended over a pointed edge, cutting my finger. The blood ran dizzily down my thumb, dropping onto the sliver killer.
The knife that stabbed Fall was sitting in the corner, mocking me. Laughing at my failure. Beside it a piece of black charcoal. The ones I used to sketch. To frame me? Or to tease? This animal showed no limits.
Along the rock was a message I had failed to read the first time I visited Fall’s early grave. Taking in the words, I froze. Utter confusion and insanity chilled my bones. I gasped. This couldn’t be. The words whizzed around my head creating a black smoke of hatred.
Flashes of her auburn hair, deep blue eyes and intense smile came rushing forward, I picked up the knife.
Drove it into my heart and slowly bleed to death, my dear, Fall has been avenged.
“The inner demon killed her. Monsters live inside us and they always win. You failed.” the demon hissed.
