PREDATOR BRIDE

The night was still and silent. Like a drop, the rain fell heavily. At the west wing of the top floor of the Palermo family's house, a figure was spotted invading the floor. But still, it was let go, like they knew someone was coming and made the coach clear. The figure gently walked around the floor and stopped at a door. And knocked twice. “ Come in, Megan. I told you to stop knocking anything you're coming in. This is your home.” a rusky voice replied from inside. But still, the figure outside didn't say anything but just slid the machine door open. The lights were dim but still, the figure sitting on a moving chair behind a wooden mahogany table, seemed to have aged suddenly when he raised his head and saw the person that stood before him. “ What're you doing– here?... I didn't make any mistakes. I paid the full money…. So what do you want ?” he stammered. His eyes widened as the invader tiptoed forward. With a bot, he jumped up from the chair. The only distance was the mahogany table. “ You could touch me. But please not my family…. Please… I beg of you” the man said as he kneeled. But still there was no response from the invader. Like a robotic being. “ I didn't come to spare– but to kill. And you know the rules, Palermo. But still you went against it!” the invader said. But surprisingly it's a femme voice. “ I bid for it. My men delivered it to your organisation!” Palermo said. His eyes diverted to the figure. Or it was someone…. Someone behind the invader. “ I didn't come for an explanation, but to end what should've been the end… Ended” The femme voice stopped. And moved swiftly to the left side of the room. “ Who's here? Show yourself!” The invader said. A figure stepped out from the shadow.“ It took you a long time to feel my presence, Melissa” a female voice replied. “ Is the queen now weak to even feel the presence of a lowly one?” “ Lilith what're you doing here?” The invader knew as Melissa asked. Her eyes fixed on Lilith. “ Oh… Lilith? Really…. You should change the way you call me now. Right, that's if you can escape from here!” She giggled. “ How much I love today!.... Don't you feel weak Melissa dear? Don't you feel like those bones of yours are getting eaten up?” Lilith asked.. Her eyes watching Melissa expression and movement like a predator. “What have you done?....” Melissa's voice broke as she kneeled down. Holding her shoulders like it was on fire. “ Yes…. That's it…. You should kneel. Kneel before your master and mistress. A good dog doesn't bite the hands that feed him. But you… you're one unique dog. You bit the hand that always feeds you– How shameless!” She screamed. “ Lilith what has come over you? You're my best friend–” Melissa muttered, and spit out blood. Coughing. Shivering. “ What did you do to me… me…. Lilith ?” She kept coughing… “ Thank you Mr Palermo for your help. Our business is done here… you can go!” Lilith said, shaking the hand of the head of the Palermo family. With a last look at the body now laying on the floor. Mr Palermo walked out. “ I've always felt low and shameful anytime I'm compared with you Melissa. What made you so good? What do you have that the rest of the predators don't? I curse the day I made you my friend!” Lilith screamed. “ I watched you just like the predator we were trained like. I watched as you became a prey that I had to conquer. And here you're, low and down like before. Where's the queen that made everyone shiver in their spine. Here she's, under my blade as I slice her into pieces. And I also want those eyes of yours. Just as your existence will be erased forever!” . “ What do you mean?” Melissa asked Melissa's eyes widened as she saw the other figure behind Lilith. Her eyes lit up like a sunrise. “ Master!” Melissa said. “ Be done with it Lilith. We've other things to do” The man's voice was cold. His eyes flashing with anger. “ Yes, my master lord.” Lilith muttered. With a radiant smile and sparkling eyes. She walked up to Melissa and kneeled before her. “ You time is up Melissa. This is my last gift for you!” she whispered. “ Oh… And I drugged you with the poison you made. The scorpion bite. Beautiful isn't it. You became my experiment on it– how about I claim it as mine?” Lilith muttered. “ No!!!!.. No Lilith.. Why?..wh.. ” she screamed but it all went down with a gunshot. “ I'm sorry Melissa but you've to be erased forever! Don't worry… I'll keep your eyes as a reminder ” Lilith giggled. Her voice echoes in the dark room. On the floor, Melissa's eyes widened. Her mouth opened.. as she gave up the ghost. “ Burn her and throw the ash into the sea. But remove her eyes and bring them to the clan!” Her Voice fades into the shadows. And down there, the queen was gone. Gone forever…. — A figure laying on a tiny bed suddenly stood up. “ Ahhhhh….. mama…. The witch is awake! She's finally awake!” a lady dressed in a pink princess gown. With a diamond necklace adored in her neck, glittery pink heels. Her curly hair tinted with a pink colour. “ What's wrong my princess? Don't scream. Do you want your voice to get cracked because of that haggard girl?” A sweet voice said. “ Mama, she gave me a scare… What if brother Casper found me ugly because of her. I don't want her to spoil the relationship I just started having with brother Casper!” the young lady whined. “Oh dear… Don't worry. Casper loves you! He can't love the daughter of a b***h. Don't worry I'll send her away.. mm. You just get yourself ready– okay?” the mother said. Her hands gently rubbed her daughter's shoulder. “ You! What're you still doing here? Have you done the dirty dishes? Didn't I say, no rest for you? What're you doing resting? Don't let me beat the living hell outta you!” the mother said, as she raised her hands to slap the wiry girl but…. “ Who are you?” a cold voice asked.
