“If you won’t help me save Russell, then you are of no use to me!” Kelly shouted and pressed the sharp blade against Chloe’s neck until beads of dark blood began to drip down.
Chloe managed to break from the other girl’s embrace. But Kelly still was able to sink her knife in the other girl’s shoulder.
Chloe’s eyes widened in shock and pain. She opened her mouth and a loud, guttural scream ripped out of her throat.
“I won’t rest until you’re dead,” Kelly said with determination and raised her knife to stab Chloe again.
“No!” Chloe screamed and raised her hand to block the weapon.
The tip of the sharp knife pierced through Chloe’s palm.
Chloe’s head spun from the pain and she screamed even louder.
Being driven mad from her daughter’s screams of terror, Mrs. Windsor got down on her knees and looked up at Olivia with panic. “Please, you have to try to save my daughter. I promise that if you do, I’ll make sure she goes into a mental hospital.”
“No,” Olivia said coldly and crossed her arms. “Chloe’s getting the retribution that she deserves.”
Kelly took out the knife from Chloe’s hand and prepared to stab her again.
As she put her hand over the wound on her shoulder to try to stop the bleeding, Chloe began to cry. “Please, don’t kill me,” she begged and backed away. “I can give you any amount of money you want. Just please don’t murder me.”
Kelly advanced toward her prey with a wicked smile. “I don’t want your money. I want revenge for Russell.”
Then, she leapt toward Chloe once more.

Kelly’s eyes were crazed, and a war cry came from her throat as she raised the knife a third time, preparing herself to take the life of the woman who took away the love of her life.
Her hand that wasn’t holding the knife wrapped around Chloe’s throat, and she tightened her grip until she was choking the other woman.
Chloe gasped for air and tried to struggle out of Kelly’s strong grip, but it was like she had been possessed by the spirit of Russell that wanted to seek revenge. A strong wind had started up and was whipping Kelly’s blonde hair around her face, and her electric blue eyes were wide as she stared at Chloe with hatred.
Just before Kelly could stab Chloe through the heart, a peach was hurled from somewhere in the shadows. It had been thrown in a perfect arch, and time seemed to stop as it made a perfect arch through the air. The peach managed to hit Kelly’s hand, knocking the knife out of her grip right before she could stab Chloc.
The two girls gasped, but Chloe recovered first. She managed to push Kelly off of her, and once the other woman’s fingers were no longer cutting off her air supply, she pulled in much needed air. Thankfully, her head stopped spinning.
Then Chloe turned and tried to run away. But she was still disoriented from being choked, so she accidentally fell into the pond with a big splash. She had fallen into a deep part and tried to keep her head above water, but it was hard after being stabbed and then choked.
With a manic grin, Kelly picked up the knife and dove in after Chloe, intent on finishing the job that she had started. Feeling like she had nothing to live for, Kelly went underwater and grabbed onto Chloe’s slippery leg, trying to pull her underwater so that they could drown together and finally end this for good.
Chloe let out a high-pitched scream and tried to grab onto the muddy riverbank, but her body was too weak to fight the other woman. She tried to dig her hands into the grass, but it was too wet for her to hold on. Eventually, her head went below the surface, and Kelly and Chloe began to sink down, their hair floating around them like wet string.
As both of their visions went black, they saw a man swimming next to them, pulling them back up to the surface.
Using his brute strength, Richard hauled Chloe and Kelly out of the water. Chloe gasped for breath and spit out the water that had been clogging her lungs. Richard began to give mouth-to-mouth to Kelly. putting his mouth against hers and pumping her chest.
Once Kelly’s eyes were open and she was drawing in ragged breaths, Olivia, Aiden, and Ava walked from behind the apple tree they were hiding behind.
This sight shocked Ethan, who was still concealed behind another tree with his mom. He had no idea that Olivia and Ava would be here.
Because of Olivia’s sudden appearance, Ethan took a step forward, but Amelia grabbed his hand to stop him.
“No, don’t get involved,” she hissed at her son. “Let’s see how this plays out.”
Back near the pond, Olivia was staring down at Chloe with hatred. Mrs. Windsor-who had been untied by Aiden-came over and hugged her daughter close to her, sobbing and thanking Richard for saving her daughter.
The scene was pure chaos as Kelly’s coughing mixed with Mrs. Windsor’s sobs and Chloe’s confusion after everything that she had endured the past five minutes.
Soon, everything became even more crazy when the loud sound of sirens filled the air. Everyone looked at each other with confusion.
“I didn’t call the police.” Olivia said, and her brow furrowed. She turned to Ava. “Did you?”
Before Ava could answer, Chloe spoke her first words after almost drowning. “Mom? What’s going on?” Her voice was weak and perplexed. “Why are there sirens? They aren’t coming for me, are they?”
A feeling of justification flowed through Olivia when she saw the obvious fear in Chloe’s face. Richard’s phone started ringing, and he stepped away to take the call.
Mrs. Windsor cried out in relief and pulled her daughter tight against her chest. “Oh, Olivia, I’m so happy that you’re alright.” Then, her face changed to one of steely determination. “The police are coming to arrest Olivia and her friends.”
The group was silent for a moment as they processed Mrs. Windsor’s words.
Ava put her hands on her hips, and her eyes flashed with anger. “Now hang on just a moment. We aren’t the ones who were just digging up a body. And not to mention the fact that the body was of a boy that Chloe murdered.”
“Yeah, we are definitely not the ones who are going to jail in this scenario,” Aiden said and crossed his arms, his large muscles bulging.
“
But dread was settling low into Olivia’s stomach as she quickly thought the situation through. “Guys, this doesn’t look good for us, she whispered to Aiden, Ava, and Richard. “A villager could have seen us following Chloe and her mom and called the police. It also doesn’t look good how injured Chloe is. She has multiple stab wounds. She doesn’t look like the aggressor in this situation. She looks like the victim.”
Mrs. Windsor was listening to Olivia and decided to take matters into her own hands. “We could make a deal that would benefit both of us, she said quickly as she rubbed her daughter’s back, who still seemed to be in shock. “Why don’t I pay you guys off, and you forget what you’ve seen today. Then, you won’t be involved in these crimes, and you can leave right now without having any trouble with the police and a lot more money in your pocket.”
Ava was shaking her head before Mrs. Windsor even stopped speaking. “Hell no! I have a video recording of you guys ordering Russell’s body to be dug up.” She took out her phone. “This is all the evidence that we need.”
Olivia stepped closer to her best friend and crossed her arms, lifting her chin in defiance. “Yeah, your vicious cycle stops here. We refuse to be just another person that you pay off. We are going to hand over all the evidence we have against you to the authorities.” She paused, and a slow smile spread across her face. “You and your daughter are finally going to be punished for your crimes.”
Richard came back, and he slid his phone from his pocket after his phone call. “That was Alexander,” he informed everyone. “He has instructed us to tell the truth about everything to the police. He’s going to meet us at the station and help us smooth things over. We will not be the ones in trouble.” He pointed at Chloe and Mrs. Windsor. “They will.”
As soon as he said this, a group of police officers arrived with their guns pointed at everyone in the group.
“Put your hands up!” the one in the front yelled.
Olivia’s stomach swooped when she saw who was leading the cops to them.
It was Ethan.
*Olivia*
As soon as I saw Ethan, I spotted Amelia, slightly hidden behind an apple tree. She was watching the scene unfold as a pleased smirk crossed her face. When we made eye contact, her smile widened even more.
My hands clenched into tight fists when I realized that Amelia had brought Ethan here because she wanted to cause even more chaos. Ethan’s mother had double-crossed us. I should have known that she would only look out for herself and her family.
As soon as Mrs. Windsor saw Ethan, her face crumpled with relief. Of course Chloe’s mom would think that Ethan’s presence meant that her and her daughter were in the clear.
“Ethan, I’m so happy to see you.” Mrs. Windsor said. “You have to help me. Olivia tried to murder my poor, sweet daughter. She went mad with jealousy and kept saying that if she couldn’t have you, then no one could.”
My blood boiled with rage. So, that was the angle that she wanted to play? I had to give it to her. When it came to protecting her daughter, Mrs. Windsor was quick on her feet.
“Don’t worry,” Ava whispered to me. “The police aren’t going to believe Mrs. Windsor’s tall tales. It took so long for them to arrive. And now
I’m pretty sure that Ethan was the one to call them. That means that he witnessed Kelly attacking Chloe, and he stood by and didn’t protect his future wife. That means that he knows Chloe is guilty since he didn’t try to save her.”
I nodded. She did have a good point, but that didn’t make my unease lessen. Being accused of attempted murder was always nerve- wracking. It didn’t matter how unfounded the accusations were.
