REBIRTH
1021 Words
Evelyn's POV.
'Was I dead?' I pondered, my heart pounding heavily when I noticed the way Neal was panicking.
Laying on the floor was my body, my head covered in blood. I tried to touch Eva, who seemed to be trembling, but my hand went through her.
Words couldn't describe my shock.
"We have to be calm, Neal." She whispered as she sat on the bed, placing a hand on her chest, probably to calm a racing heartbeat.
"What? But she is dead." Neal yelled, after checking for my pulse through my neck.
"We have to get rid of her body or plant it somewhere or even on someone." Eva said and Neal widened his eyes at her, so did I.
She didn't even seem to care that I was dead, gone forever.
Did she hate me that much?
After everything I had done for her?
"Shouldn't you be sad that she is gone?" Neal asked and Eva huffed, folding her arm across her chest, just like mine.
"And why should I be? She ruined things for me." She accused.
How?
"How?" Neal asked the one question, running through my mind.
"If she is gone, no one can be a blood bag for you." He half-yelled and I froze.
Wait! Was that what they all thought of me?
As some sort of blood bag for my sister? Did he ever even love me?
"I never really needed her anyways, Vincent and you know it, don't you? I don't have a condition and all the blood, we do get from her are always being sold to patients who actually need them." Eva laughed as my heart tightened against my chest.
Was I hallucinating or now hearing double? Because how come?
This couldn't be happening.
I tried reaching for my body hurriedly, but I could feel a force, throwing me backwards, preventing me as heavy air blew by.
No, no. I couldn't accept this. I refused to be dead and killed by the people, that I thought I could trust.
Nooooooooooo. I needed to get revenge and if there was a second chance at life, oh Lord, please grant me.
I shut my eyes as the breeze grew stronger, so strong that I could feel it lifting me away as a tear rolled down my cheek.
"Eve, Eve, Eve." I felt a rough tap on my shoulder and opened my eyes to see that I was in a bar, surrounded by loud music.
Where was I?
'Wasn't I dead and why was I here?' I pondered, so many thoughts drifting through my head, when I felt the tap again.
I looked and who I saw, made me rear backwards in shock as a huge lump formed in my throat.
Was that.....
Was that not......
"Back to Earth, Evelyn." She snapped her fingers in my face with a laugh as my stomach turned.
It was Xenia, my ex-best friend, that tried to seduce Neal on the night of our wedding. Because of this, I cut off all ties with her and had her blacklisted across the industries.
Last I heard about her was that she had an accident and was now in coma, but I wasn't bothered enough to check up on her, despite later finding out that she (Xenia) was actually innocent.
Eva framed her up, just so she could eliminate someone that truly cared for me, away from my side and I stupidly allowed her.
'What a horrible person I was.' I thought and the tears rolled down my cheeks before I could stop them.
Xenia frowned and reached forward to wipe the tears.
"Eve, are you okay?" She asked in a caring tone and I cried more as I hugged her, burying my head into her shoulder as words of apology filled my mouth.
But then, why was she here and why could I touch her?
Just then, I looked up and what I saw made my jaw drop.
"Happy bachelorette party, Evelyn?" I called out in disbelief and Xenia nodded as she pulled away from the hug, giving me a weird look.
"Yes. Tomorrow is the wedding, remember or are you having a cold feet? Is that why you are acting weird?" Xenia smirked at me but I couldn't really pay attention to her words as a shiver went down my spine.
Bachelorette party? But that was two to three years ago.
I hurriedly opened the purse I noticed I was holding and brought my phone to see the date. It was October 14, 2023.
I wanted to scream as it hit me that my wish had been granted, I had been reborn.
God was on my side.
Xenia looked like she was about to say something when Eva walked over with three glasses of wine.
"Oh my God! It's the bride of tonight." She squealed so happily that you would think she was the one getting married tomorrow morning or did she wish that?
Rage burned through my veins at seeing her awful face as the urge to slap her hard, across the face, nudged me but I had to control myself.
Not tonight. I wanted to ruin them, but it was definitely not tonight. I needed to do more digging first.
"Thank you." I faked a smile at her as I grabbed the wine she offered me before gulping it down all at once.
Xenia did the same, while trying to hide her disgust at Eva, who scurried away, almost immediately.
"You should really stay away from that twin of yours. For someone with a critical condition, she looks almost as healthy if not more healthy than me, with a good health." Xenia pointed out and I couldn't agree more.
I was about to speak when I suddenly felt my entire body, burning hot as I tried to stabilize my breathing.
"You good?" Xenia questioned when she noticed me wobbling but I didn't answer her and just walked briskly towards the restroom.
I was at the elevator, when I felt someone grab and pin me against the wall.
"Found you." He laughed as goosebumps covered my entire body.
