Yorick:
"Look at her, mother. The one who had been too afraid to fight for herself and needed shoulders is suddenly fighting till her last breath," I commented, shaking my head as I folded my arms across my chest. Watching Oriana being bitten by my brother was the most satisfying sight ever.
"What was she talking about earlier?" my mother asked, looking excited as she did not break eye contact with the two inside the room, as if she did not want to miss a second of the entertainment.
"She was making up these stories, that she is not even Oriana, it is Suki in her body and all that bullshit," I remarked, and my mother covered her mouth as she laughed.
However, it seemed like she was getting good at fighting my brother, and it was getting annoying at this point. Every time he came at her, she would retaliate harder.
"Okay, I am going to bring in the warriors to shoot silver bullets at her. I do not want her to hurt my son," my mother muttered angrily as she noticed Oriana slashing across my brother’s back, making him cry out in agonizing screams.
It did not make sense. Oriana would usually not be so good at fighting. Even when she was afraid, she would not do this well.
Maybe for the first time, seeing herself close to death was the reason she was fighting so hard.
My mother returned quickly with the warriors and pointed at Oriana.
They held the guns up and then shot her once in the leg, once in the arm, another in the shoulder, and one in the back with a silver bullet.
With that, she collapsed onto the ground, crying in pain.
That was when my brother attacked her once again. This time, he decided to go for the neck, tearing into her flesh like he had been hungry for years.
I turned to my mother and noticed the way she had her hands clutched together under her chin, watching the whole scene with focused attention. It was a little hard for me to watch, so I turned my face away.
Part of me was very angry with myself for doing all this. I guess her accusations had pushed me to the point where I thought becoming the villain was the only way to get justice for myself.
"You know what that means?" my mother uttered, snapping me out of my thoughts.
I turned to look at my brother eating Oriana. At this point, her body was barely moving. I watched her look at me in her last moments, making eye contact, and then her eyes rolled back in her head. Finally, Oriana was done for, but my brother was still eating her.
"What?" I asked my mother, pressing on her earlier statement.
"That means he accepted her flesh, which means one of our sacrifices was right," my mother finished happily.
"Now what?" I asked my mother, looking away once again as my brother was now chewing on the bones of Oriana.
"Please, you care for my sister, do you not?" she pleaded. "How would you live with yourself once you do it? Even if you do not tell her, somewhere along the line, the guilt will stay in your heart. Please, please do not do this to me."
She began to cry harder and thrash around while they dragged her by both arms toward my brother’s room. The moment they stopped in front of the door, I watched Leysa’s eyes widen at the mess inside.
"No, no, no, no, this cannot be," she screamed. "Please, no, do not let it eat me."
She threw herself around, doing anything to avoid being shoved inside.
"Just throw her in there," my mother instructed with a hand gesture, and the warriors opened the bars and pushed Leysa inside.
As soon as she landed on the floor, my brother lifted his head from whatever remained of Oriana. Leysa gulped and covered her mouth with her hands, crawling backward and away from him.
Leysa only turned briefly toward me, and through her tears and wet cheeks, she muttered, "I hope I live long enough to tell Clementine everything about what you are doing. I hope she sees you for who you are and stays away from you, because remember, an innocent person can never settle with a monster."
Her words struck me so hard that I clenched my fist and then looked at my brother.
"Fucking eat her alive," I yelled.
