416 The Elder

"I- I have kill- killed my sister-" Adrianna stuttered. Her face was smeared with blood. She looked blankly at Dmitri who held her tightly in his embrace. She was quivering so much that he stroked her back, held her head against his chest and pressed his lips on the crown of her head. 

"Shh…" he tried to calm her. "Adri… I am so sorry darling."

Adrianna's eyes went to her sister who was lying on the black rock with blood dribbling out from the heart. She remembered her wide eyes when she drove the dagger into her heart. She had gasped and the blood spilled on the black rock like rain splattering. Kayla's lifeless body was slumped there. 

Adrianna shuddered and then with a loud noise started howling. "How could I kill Kayla?" She could never understand that in that last minute how she saw herself through the eyes of Ed. 

Everyone else stood there on the slope of the mountain silently waiting for her to calm down.
