"Are you out of your mind?!" Liam said as he shoved me towards the wall.
"Yes I am!, I'm out of my mind! All of this..all of this is driving me insane!" I said as I pushed him away.
"You aren't Eve!, you aren't the chosen sacrifice!,you are Bella lux, my Bella.."
We both slowly go down and I hold his face.
"Saying something continuously, won't make it true" my heart ached from my own bitter words.
"Try to understand, I have to end this,this circle of death" i wiped my tears once again as i stood up,there were too many people depending on me.
To many lives i needed to save.
Too many lived i had wronged.
I slowly open the buttons on my shirt. Revealing the mark, Revealing the curse that deemed me as Eve.
" I am Eve, I am the chosen sacrifice" I said as I touched it.
" I won't let you..kill yourself." He said as he held my hand.
"I don't plan on dying" I replied with a fake smile
" but this is suicide" he spat.
"Then what do you call staying here doing nothing?!, we're practically waiting to be someone's dinner..isn't that suicide?!"
"I'll convince them, humanity deserves another chance" I said looking deep into his eyes.
He touches my face and wipes the tear that managed to fall. "humanity, has lost all hope, heck they have no will of their own,"
"that's why, I have to return what they lost because of me"i said looking deep into his eyes "this is only only option," I said
"Stop..stop fighting a lost battle"he said tearing his gaze from mine.
"That's exactly why I have to win, because I'd rather be the fool who saw danger and still moved on, rather than the wise who saw danger and knew when to give up,they never achieve anything" i smiled at my choice of words.
I sighed as I stood up.
"I will change this world, with or without you"
" you've made your choice,now I'll make mine"he said standing up.
"I will save you, from humanity"
"You want to save me, but I want to save them" I slit my wrist with my pocket knife.
The mark on my chest began to glow.
"fine then. goodbye Liam" I said as tears welled up in my eyes
I walked out
People stopped the second they say me , even those feeding their bloody hands, mouth covered with flesh of those they had killed their innocence lost buried along with their ability to differentiate between right and wrong.
I stared into the eyes of the predators,preys and soon to be corpses.
Eyes that were blinded by the wrong definition of survival.
At that moment I felt it, I felt what the past Eves felt,the anger,the fear,the desire,the insecurity, all at once.
The pressure to end it all, at a point i wanted to runaway but no, not again,I wouldn't make the same mistake all over again.
Silence consumed me, fear gripped me and left me, I stared in the eyes of the people I had wronged, I stared at the bodies of those who were collateral, and into the eyes of those who I knew could be saved.
Then I found it, the words to say.
"Humanity!!!"
"Listen up!!"my voice firm and unwavering, the adrenaline drowning my worries.
I wasn't talking to predators or preys I was talking to humans who were products of my mistake,I was talking to humans who I knew could be saved.
"I am... Eve"
I would never forget the silence that followed.
