Having that heavy atmosphere with her sister was weighing Nittah down. She really missed her sister considering that she shared a lot of childhood memories with her . Staring at the dark and empty ceiling was all she was doing thinking of what she did to her dear sister that now she was getting that silent treatment. It was just a week ago that they went to the trade fair with her and her friends. She almost got sure that their bond was stronger, until they came home that day and all she's been getting are hard stares from her.
It took Nittah some time to sleep. And when she slept, she dreamt of her and her sister. They were in a park under the shade of a huge tree. The air was clean and she felt a cool breeze sweep over her face making her close her eyes lightly and inhaling the fresh air. She opened her eyes after hearing Betty whisper ,"Sorry." She smiled gently and said, "I'm sorry too." Nittah couldn't tell why they were reconciling and apologizing to each other. She couldn't point out what was wrong and the reason why they weren't at peace with each other. But what mattered more than having her sister forgive her? Anyway, she was about to hug her sister and things would be back to normal.
Suddenly, Fred showed up. That was unexpected. Fred was one of the popular boys in her sister's campus who lived in their neighbourhood. He was in the famous hockey team which was told to be winning all tournaments. He was a star. Not to mention he was from a wealthy family. Making all kind of girls cling unto him ready to follow all his orders. Almost all girls dreamt to be with him. They would gaze at him in the school halls and registering everything he did. He was used to this attention, and he used it at his advantage getting what he wanted.
Fred was stunning to look at. Even in her dream, Nittah couldn't get her eyes off him. He was a blonde with blue eyes , his face holding a fairly sharp nose and a light moustache on top of thin light pink lips. Not to forget a piercing in his left ear. He kept his hair combed back leaving some strands hanging on his forehead. Betty had always wondered how it would feel to have his lips on hers. That thought alone drove her crazy.
He raised his hand and weaved his fingers through his hair. His eyes were only focusing on Nittah ignoring the presence of Betty. The gaze , even though it was a dream, it had Nittah's toes curl. She could feel heat rising from her body . Fred slightly openned his lips to speak but before he could ,Betty had snapped his head and smushed it on the tree. Nittah was confused. What just happened?
She quickly stood up and walked a distance backwards from her sister. She could feel sweat starting to drop on her back. Everything turned cold. She was feeling hot a minute ago but now she thought she was freezing and sweating bullets at the same time. She turned to look if the people had seen what happened, but no one was there. It was as quiet as a graveyard making the atmosphere so eery. It was just the two of them. The trees suddenly turned dry and the leaves withered, falling off from the branches leaving the trees in their skeleton form. A strong wind swept the ground , lifting all the dried leaves from the ground ,making them float around them. She could feel the grass beneath her feet harden until it was only bare ground.
Betty who had now plasterd a medusa face, turned to her and she was ready to snap her head next. She started taking slow steps towards her with that sinister smile she hated to look at. Nittah wanted to take off but she couldn't. Where was this hormone they called adrenaline!? She could only curse her body for not producing it when she was in dire need of it. Useless ! So useless! For not producing it now when it has always been aimlessly pouring it every two seconds of her whole life! Making her a nerd who always freaked out at everything! Even her own thoughts !
Betty was now two steps closer to her and still she couldn't find her legs. 'Maybe screaming would do' she thought. But her mouth had abandoned her too. It was as dry as a desert and her voice was nowhere to be found . This was the day her body parts had decided to fail. Maybe her heart was next ,with the rate it was beating, she could tell that she would die of a heart attack if not her sister. She looked at Fred's body on the ground and a cold shiver ran through her spine making her hands tremble.
She instanly felt her sisters body touch hers as she was just below her sister's nose gazing at her with blood lust eyes. Betty slowly raised her hand ,and she carressed her neck with the back of her index finger down to collar bone letting her hand rest there . Nittah felt her sister's cold finger graze her neck and she took a small inhale, holding her breathe halfway. She smelled the air which now held a strong scent of blood. Any second now, she would be lying on the ground lifeless. A tear fell from her cheek when she looked at her sister. She slowly raised her hand to touch Betty's cheek.
Her hand was an inch from her face ,but before she could touch her , Betty grabbed her neck and she quickly reached for Bettys hand in her neck . The grip was strong and she couldn't unwrap it off her neck. Tears welled up in her eyes . What has happened to Betty? She was okay a while ago. This wasn't Betty. Betty wouldn't do that. She was sometimes mean to her when they quaralled, but that didn't make her the evil villain she was right now.
With a struggling voice she called her name "Be..Betty." but that only came out as a squick. "Pleeaase... le.. me g.." Her grip only tightened on her neck. Nittah heard a cackling voice from her sister. She felt her nails digging her skin ,as thin streams of blood flowed down her neck. This was not how she imagined she could die. Her sister strangling her to death before snapping her neck .Nittah closed her eyes tightly reciting her last prayer and waited to join her creator. "Nittah!Nittah!" her father was shaking her shoulders vigorously ."Wake up!" .she could hear a distant voice like an eco and she thought it was her Maker calling to meet her.
