“I thought you were my friend.” Price said.

“Haven’t you figured it out? They’re my family.  My last name is Hung. I could never be your friend. No one could ever love someone like you.” Jordyss said.

“Say hello to your brother.”

“You’re pathetic Medina.”

“The name’s Isabel.”

Price picked up the pistol and popped three bullets in her, two in the heart and in the head.   Price had one bullet left and knew just who to use it on.  His name was on it.  His blood was calling out to her.  She could almost smell it.  He was screaming before she was done. 

Price retrieved her trusty knife and imprinted a K in him, made damn sure they wouldn’t forget.  It was the first letter of her real name.  This wouldn’t bring them back but she was hoping it would give her peace, some kind of relief.   There were a few things she relied on and revenge just happened to be one of them.  It was at the top of her list.  It was her religion, her sanity.  It became her sacred realm, her special place.

36.

A pregnant Medina walked along the cemetery plots, the leaves whistling in the breeze until she came across a tombstone.  She glanced at it and laid a long stemmed black rose on the grave.  She observed the dates at the bottom. 

March 20, 1993-Oct 10, 2016

She read the writing in the middle.  It read: Soul Possessed.

Several leaves covered up the top half of the tombstone.  Just before she left, a gush of wind whipped them up and disclosed the top of the headstone.  She saw herself in the lustrous surface.  There was no expression of remorse left on her face.  It was all over.  Her reign of terror had come to an end, but she lost herself in the fold.  She looked the same but she wasn’t Medina anymore.  She was her sister.  Her body was hers but her spirit belonged to Isabel, sending Medina’s soul to purgatory. 

Isabel’s eyes flickered as it altered to a pale green color.  She looked at the names on the headstone.

It read: Here lies Medina.  Born Koley Vada.

Daddy said she was always the strongest.  She put up a good fight...but I was determined to take what was rightfully mine. What the world owed me. Enjoy the afterlife sis; I hear it’s a real bitch.  Some say no one can survive in a tumultuous world, such as this. But there’s a first time for everything.

The End
