Chapter 28

"So. Before I kill you. Let's go over everything you know about me. I'm sure you know a lot." I say as I sit back a bit, gun still pointed at her head.

Her face showed how much her heart raced. "All I know is that both of your parents are dead, along with your sister....I tried to look for your parents to contact them after I couldn't contact your aunt. Maybe I could ask them some questions but then I stumbled on the case. Your father allegedly killed both your mother and your baby sister. Then he stabbed himself and it was ruled a suicide."

"Ohhhhhh but what's the catch??? You know what it is."

"...it is impossible for someone to commit suicide by them stabbing themselves 42 times."

"Ding ding ding!" That focus and feeling I had when I hung Elizabeth was coming back.Adrenaline was pumping through me. "So What does that leave?"

"You killed your father, Xena."

"Absolutely. And I would do it ten times over. I was Ten years old and he was my first kill. At first, I wanted to through up and I was shaking with fear. It was so messy and uncoordinated. Blood gushed and splashed everywhere. My hands were soaked and stained while the house smelled of iron. The only reason why I was found was because a neighbor complained about the smell."

"That's...pretty graphic."

"It is what it is."

"We can get you help, Riley."

"Oh nope. Riley is dead. Along with the others. I'm the only one left."

"What do you mean by she's dead? And others?"

"As in Riley is no longer. This is now my body completely and fully. I'm sharing it with no one. Any thought is my own. And as for what I mean by others is that originally there were 8 of us. 8 different people sharing the same body. Riley was of course, the main personality and this was originally her body. With her included, it made 8.

There names were:

Riley(Kind and Emotional )

Xena(Me)

Zeva(Clean freak)

Arima(Fighter)

Samantha( Lustful And a player)

Hera (Short temper and possessive)

Kathryne (Awkward as hell)

And Rita. (Mean and Dominant as fuck.)

But I killed every single one of them. POOF. Gone. And when I did kill them, I took a piece of them and made it my own, if that makes sense. So I'm a little of each and every one of them. In a way, they made Xena. And I can't thank them enough for what they did for me. They taught me how to have a personality as I watched through their eyes whenever they did come out." I explained to the doctor.

"When did you start to 'kill' them?"

"After When Riley first asked me for help. Which was the night I killed my father. Seeing the world like that....actually moving and thinking off of free will was a new feeling for me and I loved it. I loved every minute of it, it was so open. I had kept control for a few days and I was the only one that chose to sit there and do nothing. I stepped over their bodies in the kitchen for 5 days as I pretended nothing happened. I showered, ate and said goodnight to them every night too. When the police came is when I was Pushed out the way by Rita and I had chocked her out by the time I was actually questioned by the police. I chose to stay silent and just cry."

"Xena. You don't have to do this."

"Oh no, I think I do. Spring cleaning and you would just end up being a loose end. I don't need that. I cant jeopardize the plans I had in the beginning."

"Which are?"

"To be with Zen forever. Yep! Back on track! My goal is Zen and his happiness. I'll keep him to myself, for myself from now on. I don't like sharing."

"How do you plan on doing that?"

"I would say watch and see but you're dying today so." I say as I stand up.

"You need massive amounts of help, Xena." She says. Wet eyes.

"Shit, maybe. But all I know is that I'm not getting it from you. Cmon stand up. It's time for you to go." I gesture the gun so she knows I'm serious. She soon stands up slowly with her hands up. "Turn around and face the window." She does exactly that. I fire the gun at the class 3 times and it shatters to pieces, some spilling over into the street below. "Jump."

"What?" She was puzzled.

"Jump. Jump off."

"What?? No I won't."

"Oh really????"

"No,what the fuck is your problem?" She was getting angry and turned to face me with her hands down. I put the gun to her stomach and pressed in a bit. I leaned forward closer to her face.

"Do you really want to test me? Because we can take a walk across the street to the daycare and we can watch your son's brain splatter all over the wall. Or we can walk down the block and go have a visit with your husband and see how he likes being shot at point blank range. I will fucking kill you after I make you watch what I do to your family, am I clear?"

"You fucking won't."

"Then test me. If you don't jump, then I will make you watch as I kill them, or you can just listen and jump. This way, you actually have people to remember you. Just. Jump." I say.

Waterfalls start to flow from her eyes "Please! Please, no! Don't make me do this please please please."

"Jump."

"Xena PLEASE! NO I DONT WANT TO GO PLEASE LET ME STAY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!" She fell to the floor and Started to pull at my pants leg."

"Jump."

Her crying went on for a bit until she realized that she had no other option for her family. She couldn't do anything else but. Jump. She got up from off the ground, turned around to face the street. She slowly inched her way to the edge. Slow and deep breaths as I saw her lungs and back expand. She looked up to the sky, then back at me. Her makeup was running and tears were still coming down. We locked looks and slowly but surely....she tipped herself over, sending herself plummeting to the concrete.

"Welp. That's done. I put the gun's safety back on and Put it in my bag. I grab all my things and I go to the elevator. On the ride down to the first floor, I prepare myself. I make tears run down my face slightly. When the elevator doors open, my walk changes into a frantic as my face is frowning and worried. The receptionist was outside next to the body. I walk straight past them as I scream and Carry on past the crowd that had formed. I quickly stumble my way to my car and drive away quickly. I think my Spring Cleaning is finally over.
