Sofia opened her eyes.Coming back to reality,slowly.She just stood there,still in Robert’s arms.She pushed Robert away and ran off.Robert stood there,looking at her go.He smiled a sly smile.”You’re not getting away,Sofia.” He walked away.
Sofia ran to her car and got in.She sat still at the driver’s seat,her hands on the steering wheel.She had no control over herself.Her soul,her heart,her body had a mind of its own.It felt like nothing controlled it.It just moved.
Sofia,why did you run,Sofia?
“WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT?”Sofia asked,completely angry.
No answer.
“ANSWER ME!”
No answer.
Sofia looked round her now,feeling scared.
Why are you scared?
Sofia closed her eyes.
Sofia was up early.The sun shone beautifully.Sofia started her car and prepared to drive.She simply couldn’t go back to the Central Market.Either the people would recognize her and gether,or Eric and Robert would.Shedidn’t know where to go,but she would find someplace. She turned on the radio.She started her drive.
“Hi,where you going?”said a familiar voice.
Sofia turned to the direction of the voice.She almost hit a lamppost when she saw Eric seated beside her.
“How did you get in here?”Sofia asked,driving more carefully now.
“That’s not important,”said Eric,looking at the road.
“Eric,who are you?”Sofia’s eyes still on the road.
“I’m…just like you,Sofia,”he answered,hesitantly.
“Just like me?”
“Yes,we’re the same.Anger got the best of us both,”
“Like Robert?”Sofia asked,looking at him closely.Eric looked away.
Eric was hesitant.”Yes,like him,”It got quiet.
“You want me to get rid of myself?You want me to commit suicide?”Sofia asked,breaking the silence.
“It’s for the good,”Eric answered,calmly.
“For the good?Why don’t you go kill yourself then?”Sofia exclaimed,driving more furiously now.
“Kill one soul and save the others,”Eric answered,turning his head to look at Sofia.
“No,”
“Your choice.You want to kill?You want to torture?Like Robert?Hmm?”Eric asked,all in one go.
Sofia slowed down and parked her car by the side of the road.She pulled out her gun and aimed at Eric’s head.Eric smiled,and didn’t make a move.
“Tell me what is going on?”Sofia asked,her voice sweetly dangerous.
“Don’t you know?I thought I told you,”
“Spare me the rage and anger shit.Who are you,Eric?Who are you and what’s going on?”Sofia’s voice carried a note of impatience.A note that could burst into something bigger.Gunfire and death.
“You’re not alone,Sofia,”Eric began.”There are others,who are like you,Robert and I.There are mainly two groups of us,the ones who prefer to die,and the ones who want to express.I am the ones who want to die,and Robert is the one who wants to express the rage,the anger,”
“Why are you still alive,then?”Sofia asked.
“To let people see the truth,Sofia.Anger and rage can do so much,but there’s always one part of you that anger or rage can never get to,”
“Conscience”
“Yes,precisely!”said Eric,smiling broadly now.
“Why can’t I live?”Sofia asked,puzzled.
“Because people like Robert will do anything to make you kill and torture,they are selfish,Sofia.They value their lives too much,they forget others,”said Eric,with a sad tone.
“Why are you still alive,then?”Sofia asked,doubtful.There seems to be too many gaps in the whole explanation.Why was Eric still alive?She felt like there was one gap Eric seemed hesitant to fill.
Eric hesitated.”Because…Robert would never hurt me,”
“Why is that?”
“Robert is my brother,”Eric continued,”Family will never hurt family,”
“That isn’t true!”Sofia exclaimed.
“Well,not entirely true,but it is true.You know that,Sofia,don’t you?”
“Yes,I do,”Sofia said.She lowered her gun.
“It’s hurting you,isn’t it?”asked Eric,his voice less hesitant.
“What is?”
“The anger and the rage,”
Sofia kept quiet.
“It is driving you crazy,it’s in your head,it’s in your mind,you can’t think straight..I’ve been there,Sofia,I’ve been there.”Eric said,sounding like a wise old soldier.
Sofia looked down.
Eric lifted her head up by the chin and gave her a long passionate kiss.Sofiaput her hands on his shoulders,and kissed him back.They made out in the car.Tears started to trickle from her eyes. Eric wiped them off with the back of his hand.
“Do I have to?”Sofia asked.
“I wish you didn’t have to…but you have to,”Eric looked at her,sadly.He pulledher in closer to his body.He closed her eyes,and let her sleep.
“It’s time,”said Sofia.
“I know,”said Eric.
They were on top of the tallest building in the city.The wind was blowing hard.Sofia passed her gun to Eric,her tears trickling down fast.Eric hugged her and kissed her for a long time.Sofia took off her coat.Without her coat,she looked beautiful.She was beautiful,she always had been.Eric hugged her from behind.Gave her one last kiss.Sofia told him she loved him.Eric told her he loved her.She jumped off the building.Sofia died.
Three weeks later,news came out that a 17 year old teenage girl had shot her parents and her siblings.After killing her family,the teenager reportedly went out on a killing spree,killing all her closest neighbours.She is wearing a black minidress and a black leather coat and black boots.Anyone who’s seen such a person is advised to contact authorities.Immediately.
