Chapter 20: Trillian

Friday, New York

10:15 pm, 20 years prior

Melissa's screams stop suddenly and Felix thinks that he's killed her much faster than he anticipated. He stops chewing and starts to choke. Black fluid begins to pour from his mouth as he gags and gurgles. Melissa's laughter catches him off guard when it becomes hysterical between gurgles, choking on her own blood. Crimson stains her teeth and lips which are stretched in a wicked grin.

Confusion casts shadows over his sharp features.

"That's f-for my sister you f-fucking m-monster," she chokes out, more blood streaming down her front and spilling from her mouth.

"What did you do to me?!" Felix growls as he shoves her off of him.

"I p-poisoned you," she states weakly, blood loss taking its toll.

The sickly man rushes out of the car and to the driver's side, smacking the window as fear grips him.

"Open the fucking door!" he shouts as he grabs the handle with slippery fingers.
