A so-so Called Friend

Dark Night...

There was a silhouette running in the middle of woods begging for mercy. The screaming so was loud enough to know that it was a man, his face was a pale shade of white and looked terrified. As he run across the thick mud his speed become slower and his voice become louder and louder.

He was panting desperately. He could see his life flashed right before his eyes. But he wasn't ready to go just yet, he has a beautiful wife at home whom she never made a sound when he beat the shit out of her and three little treasures who will serve him when he gets old, how can he be willing?

" Am sorry, I was only following orders, Please don't kill me, I'll talk , I'll talk " He insisted but there was silence from the other side.

As the wind slapped tree leaves which lead to the spooky atmosphere, suddenly another silhouette appeared , It was of a long human with a long black coat which a covered everything including their face, on their hand there was a long Katana, shining brightly under the moonlight.

Seeing that the man pissed on himself as he keep begging for mercy . Begging to be let go and that he will spill all the beans , The silhouette become bored.

" Am not killing you because you had wronged me!" The filtered voice spoke.

The man was puzzled as if asked, ' Why the hell am I dying for then?'

There was a suddenly chuckle and the silhouette moved closer to the man. " You see, The heart of man is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. It naturally instinct, we are born this way. the length of how wicked a man can be it's something no one can fathom . So am just trying to figure it out, no hard feelings ". The voice spoke calmly.

" You are a psychopath. You lunatic how can you kill a fellow human without a second thought ".

The silhouette move even closer and chuckled. " Ooh! You are human? But why am I seeing a bug, and right now I feel like crushing it to death ".

The man gave up and cried. He watched as the silhouette grabbed him and dismembered his body parts one after another. It was beyond pain but the silhouette was starring at him cold-heatedly .

As the pain reached the point of insanity slowly the man started to lose his senses and he went numb and fainted.

The silhouette looked disappointed and finished him in one go " It's a pity, I thought you would have lasted longer.

Gizzel...

It was early in the morning when I received the news of my husband passing, I was happy, It was kind of good news I have been waiting for my entire life. I know you will think that am cruel and ungrateful woman but...

Do you know how it feels to lay down with the man you don't love who forces himself on you everyday and abuse you and his little brats are disrespectful to you,

Do you know the pain of being the only failure in your circle and you have to be the only one trying to keep up with the others ?

Do you know what wickedness is?

Actually, It is never about ripping someone's outfit or adding seasonings to their food.

I always have this sense of hatred to the people who are better than me , take my best friend Hazel for instance. I made her fall for the perfect man and gaslighted her about how undeserving she is to have him.

She fell and fell harder and the man married her.... that's when my revenge activated. I went behind her back and make her married life a living hell, I made it so that she would rather die but couldn't, I served her the beacon of torture with a smile.

If I don't have a good life then no one will. This is an oath , to myself and almighty, as well as the devil himself. I am evil, I just couldn't let her of all people have a better life than me.

It makes my life less miserable if everyone is miserable.

...

This morning as usual and Gizzel was admiring her face in the mirror as she humming in joy after all it was just last night her husband was murdered, she knew that her life will finally went back to a place and she will no longer have to endure getting beaten any more.

Her late husband left her with two bastards and one of her own. But it wouldn't matter because she will send them all to the boarding school after all the insurance wasn't small .

She grabbed a sanitary napkin and wiped all her make up and squeeze some tears. People will start to come to her house very soon so she needs to be presentable and she didn't forget to hides her inheritance and insurance documents, her husband's family are wolves so she always so cautious of them.

When she was finally outside there were a lot of people that she imagined and they were all helping with cooking and cleaning Gizzel just had to sat and cry.

One thing about these people the harder you cry the better or else you will wake up with the rumors that you kill your husband.

It around noon when Hazel got the news that her best friend's husband had just been murdered and they will have to go to her house.

Despite of her weak body and the wounds she has all over her body Hazel couldn't just let her friend be there all alone at the times like this. She took her two children and wash them up despite of their resistance.

" Bob , Simba ! You remember auntie Gizzel, right? We are going to her house she is not feeling well ".

Hearing that, there was a sudden worried expression on Simba's face and Bob was even more pale. " Is she okay? Should we call daddy?" They asked in union.

Though their reaction was a little overboard because of how silly they are, still Hazel though that may be they like Gizzel because she too like everyone else likes Gizzel, she is very sweet and caring woman who wouldn't like her?

" Don't worry , everything is going to be fine, Let's go and see her".

It took them ten minutes by bus to reach Gizzel's place, there weren't many people since it was still morning and it will take two to three days before the burial date and for the case of murder like this it might take even longer 

As soon as she was there Hazel run and hugged her friend. " Am so sorry, I should've come sooner " She cried in her arms and Gizzel had to comfort her instead.

If you didn't know better you will be envious of such friendship however, In Gizzel's heart now she was sneering in disdain. If not that there was so many people she would have pushed her away, after all she doesn't need to pretend anymore.

' Just wait until all this is over ' Gizzel grin in her heart.
