Part XXI

"Cr-crystal?", He asks coming closer to me with a wide smile and teary eyes.

The moisture forming in his eyes look so sincere I nearly fell for it a second time but realise myself and move back as he tried to pull me in for a hug, bringing confusion and hurt to his face, wiping off his disgusting smile.

"What's wrong?", He frowns, giving me a once-over, "you seem, different."

"I do?", keeping a straight face.

"I'm sorry," he looks away in shame, "that was unthoughtful of me to say. I know you've been through a lot because of me Crystal and it's unavoidable that you change, it's just...". He comes closer and I move away, disgust clearly written all over my face.

"Save it." I finally say and he looks up at me, "I'm not interested in flimsy conversations and apologies, especially not with you." He looks at me confused, trying to figure out my intentions and feelings but I show no expression on my face, blocking him out completely.

He doesn't deserve to know anything about me. He killed me afterall.

"I've missed you greatly Crystal. I never stopped thinking about you and it killed me every second knowing that I put a knife through your heart with my own hands." He strolls away, not being able to look me in the eye anymore.

"I wouldn't have been able to live with it if something bad happened to you. I wouldn't."

His voice breaks in the end and I wanna burst out in laughter at this ninny who thinks I'd feel a tinge of pity for him.

Suddenly, he turns around and looks at me with so much worry and concern,

"This place isn't safe for you Crystal. You have to leave now."

"Leave?", I chuckle, "I'd leave alright, right after I'm done with my mission."

He looks at me confused and I immediately get the instinct to raise my hand which I do and surprisingly, he gets raised up in the air as well, the shocking and fearful look on his face satisfying me a little, making me feel really powerful.

"Crystal! What's going on?!", He asks terrified and I laugh, move my hand quickly to the right and he hits the right wall hard before dropping to the ground.

"My revenge", I walk towards him looking at him sitting down on the ground, looking scared and confused, "that's what's going on."

Twisting my wrist around, he screams putting his hand on his stomach and I smile, his pain stricken screams giving me bliss and pure joy, urging me to do more.

"Crystal?!!", A voice booms around the room causing me to reluctantly stop and turn around, only to be met with fuming and angry pair of eyes belonging to, Jake.

"Hey there, Jake", I smile looking him in the eyes, not wavering or scared, "it's been quite a while."

"I see," he smiles looking too relaxed for my comfort.

"I was a fool to think he'd really kill you."

"I was a fool to think you would", I say and he looks at me, still smiling making me feel like slapping it off his disgusting face.

"Maybe I still would." He says and immediately, my insides start to twist and tumble painfully.

Gathering my strength and power, I raise my right palm and push it forward, feeling energy flow out of me through my palm and pushing him backwards.

"Wow", he says, steadying himself, "you've got powers now, I guess I underestimated you."

Looking at him with disdain and irritation, I did the same thing I did to Dylan and sent him flying across the room.

I will cause them both so much pain in payment for what they did to me and whatever I do, I have to be quick so I can go back to my love.

Walking back to Dylan, he gets up and faces me, balling his fists in anger. Anger? This ungrateful being has no right to be angry at me, no single right.

"What has come over you Crystal. How come you have powers now, tell me what's going on."

"You don't deserve to know anything." I could feel my powers tripling from the anger I feel right now and I raise my hand, pointing at him with my index finger wishing for him to feel a thousand times more pain than I did and just then, the groans and shouts that erupt from him ring throughout the entire room, filling up my happiness.

Soon, blood starts to come out from his nostril and his eyes become so red and bulgy, his face becomes pale and he struggles to keep screaming, his life obviously seeping away.

A really strong force overwhelms me and I feel myself freeze in my spot, like a tree rooted by the river side.

Soon, I hear approaching footsteps followed by an applause.

"The princess who was saved now trying to kill her savior," Jake appears in front of me, "isn't that a great storyline dear Crystal."

I wanna rip his intestines out and feed it to the vultures but I can't even blink. Damn you Jake!

"Oh Dylan," he bends down to look at Dylan on the ground who's still trying to recover, "I told you love would never end well, didn't I? Now see where you've landed yourself. I could just walk away right now and leave you both in the hands of fate, Or I could kill you both right now and end all this.

You disgust me Dylan. Your own mother died because of you goddamn it!", He yells in Dylan's face and the memory of Betty comes faintly to my head.

We're both sitting on a bed but that's all I can see. I try but the last I can remember about her was when she brought up food for me.

Betty died because of Dylan? Oh this family's messed up. I need to end this quickly, but how?.

"You have my powers. You just have to be able to maximize it's use in order to get your desired results." Sean's voice replays in my head and immediately, i gather strength from within feeling a hot sensation in the pit of my stomach, spreading through out my body and just then, I gain absolute control of myself, looking at Jake straight in the eye and smirking, gaining a shocking and horrified look from him.

"H-how is that even-", he stutters with wide eyes, backing away from me in fear reminding of how I always cowered from him in fear.

"Isn't it funny how tables turn dear Jake", i smirk and immediately sight a knife lying on ground, I stretch my arms and the knife immediately flies straight into his broad chest.
