Forgive Me

It all began walking from my house, to my friends' house, Sarah.
I don't know how. Or When. Or who exactly did it. What I did now, was that it wasn't normal. So lets just keep this our little secret okay? Good.

● ● ●

"Mom, I'm going over to Sarah's for a bit!" I yelled, running down the steps as I grabbed my coat.

Sarah was the best-est friend in the world. We met in kindergarten when we were getting drinks from the water fountain.
"Here, you can cut me," she said noticing the long line behind her, and me- at the end.
"Oh-uh... thanks..."
From then on we both knew we were going to be best friends forever. I know it sounds pretty stupid, but it's true. almost 10 years have past now, and nothing has separated us.


"Okay, Hun, but grab an umbrella. Its supposed to rain today."
I didn't bother. We were going to stay inside anyways. And it wasn't raining now.
I ran outside pulling my jacket on, with no umbrella. Sarah's house wasn't far. Maybe a block or two away. So I never bothered to ask anyone to drive me. I was already familiar with the trail.

I had to go through the forest, it wasn't the kind of forest that had a messy ground with a whole bunch of roots and weeds. It was pretty flat, with fallen leaves. I walked. I was listening to my iPod, humming along.
-Snap-(twig snap) I swung around. Nothing. I figured it was a squirrel. I continued walking.
-Snap- I paused.
-Snap- I stood there. Frozen. NOT a squirrel.
A huge gust of wind blew, blowing the leaves everywhere. Blinded by the many fall colors, I turned around.

There was a human figure. Well, it seemed pretty human.
"H-hi?" I said scared stiff.

I didn't get to figure out who it was. It all happened so quickly.
All I remember is getting pinned to a nearby tree, then a second of pain in my neck. And it all went dark.
By then I wished I had an umbrella, I would have whacked the crap out of the guy. Or girl. It didn't matter


"PLEASE!! WAKE UP!!" I heard a familiar, panicked voice.
I slowly opened my eyes.
"Omigosh are you okay?! I thought you went into a coma or something!" She said, super panicked, more than needed.
" Wha-what happened?"
"That's what I was going to ask you."
I blinked.
" I.. don't remember enough... " I said.
"What do you remember?"
" Person. Pain. Nothing."
" That doesn't make any sense."
"I know. Howed you find me?
" Well you were an hour late, so I got worried. I went into the forest looking for you and i saw you lying on the ground all pale."

I looked at my hand, I was pale.
"Well thanks. Lets get going. "
" Are you sure you don't want to go back home?"
"I'm sure."
As I got up I felt sting in my neck. I jolted a bit.
" What?" She said.
"Nothing, lets go."

" Hi Mrs.Rallicks." I said walking into Sarah's house. I loved her mom. She was fun.Not that I didn't love my mom, It's just that she never made brownies and cupcakes just for me. Mrs.Rallicks probably just did that because I was her guest, but I didn't care.
" Oh hello Silver, I'm so glad you're fine."
Yup, Silver. That's my name. My sisters name was Moon. Silver Moon? I know. It's really stupid. Our parents said we have unique names. Which is true. I liked the name Silver. I bet barely any other people had the name Silver. Or Moon. And I bet NOBODY was called Silver Moon.
" Yeah, me too. " I smiled.
Sarah and me ran upstairs to her room. In front of us was a dog. Sarah's dog. Cosmo.
"Awww look how cute you are!" I bent down do pet and drown him in kisses.
"Alright, alright, we know he's cute. Can we move on?" Sarah sometimes got annoyed when I spent most of my time with Cosmo. It was funny.
" Why? You jealous?"
" You wish."

We went in her room, and I sat down on the bed.
"So what are we gonna do?" I asked.
"I was thinking we could work on our project."
"Okay."
She left to go get the volcano model we were building.
When she left I noticed I felt empty, and I was still sort of pale. I had a weird feeling. I thought I was hungry. Which was true.
"I'm back!" She brought in our project. It wasn't fully painted yet, and it still need a bit of wet newspaper.
"Awesome. Can I get a snack?"
"When were done. I don't want your dirty fingers messing this up."
"Fine then, be that way." I said in a fake-dramatic voice

She picked up a newspaper to wet.
"Ow! paper cut." Her finger started bleeding. Something was weird. I wanted something, but I didn't know what. I felt.. strange.
"I'll get you a band-aid." I walked to the bathroom and opened a drawer. I already knew everything about Sarah's house. I grabbed a band-aid inside the band-aids box and went back to her room.
"Here," I said handing her a band-aid. A drop of blood fell on the floor. I felt a pulsing inside of me to do something. But I didn't know what it was.

After we finished the volcano model, we ate vinegar chips. But they didn't stop the feeling, no matter how good they were.
-Ding Dong-
The door bell rang. Sarah went to open the door.
"Oh hey Moon," she said. "are you here to get Silver?" I walked up to the door.
She replied, "Yeah." Then she looked at me. "Mom wants you back home."
"Why?"
"I don't know, she said it's late." It was only 7:00
"Alright whatever, bye Sarah."
"Bye."

We walked through the forest. I was nervous. What if it happened again? And what if nobody found me- or Moon this time. Moon could get hurt too.
"Lets-uh, speed walk. I don't want mom worried..."
"Okay?"
-Snap-
"Oh crap," I thought.
"What?" She asked. "It's probably just a squirrel."
Another twig snapped. A girl appeared. I was about to scream, but I noticed it was just Sarah.
"Oh gosh you scared me half to death!" I said.
"Well so-rrey. I wanted to make sure you got home safe.
Moon didn't say anything.
"Oh- okay." I replied. I was happy to have Sarah with me too. I felt protected.
Then, out of no-where, Sarah tripped and fell.
"OW!"
"You okay?" I said helping her up.
"Yeah." She said. Then I noticed her hand was scraped, she was bleeding.
The feeling took over me. I couldn't control myself. I didn't know what was happening. The next thing I knew, I was pinning Sarah to the ground, trying to bite her.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" She yelled.
Moon acted fast. She grabbed me and tried to pull me away. I tackled her and hit her hard against a tree.
She moaned in pain. Then, it was like there was a pause in the whole world. I noticed what I was doing, more scared than Moon, or Sarah. I was a blood sucking monster. But It didn't last long enough to stop myself. I dug my fangs into moon's neck, and drained her blood. Moaning, as I did. I felt Sarah, was still standing there, shocked, scared, unable to move.

Then I was done. Done with what? Killing my sister.
Killing my own.
Little.
Sister.
