Here is where the challenge is at guys:
I used Prompt 2. This is one is too long. A shorter one is coming.
The pain surprised her. She thought it would hurt less
this time. Looking down, a tear fell from her cheek and disappeared into the
pool of warm blood. She knew she would have to find somewhere to wash. This
fight wasn't like the other ones she had to do as a ninja. Ninjas never cried
for their murders. When past memories come back though, it never was
pretty. When a sibling comes back from the grave and attacks, that just adds to
the pain. The person was not a zombie. It was an actual, normal, perfectly functioning human, ignoring
the fact there was a monster inside.
The girl never thought she would cause harm or destroy a
whole village. She was just curious and forgot the whole, “curiosity
killed the cat” speech. When the elders
told the younger children of the village not to enter, what were they thinking
was going to happen? That was just lighting up the forbidden room with a bright, red sign saying "enter" in blinking lights. Her elder sister, Taizai, warned
her it was a bad idea to go snooping around in something that she knew nothing
about. The girl should have listened. Now her sister was killed by the monster, then brought back as the monster’s host. Her sister was a perfectly functioning
human body with a monster inside. She did what she had to do, the girl keep
telling herself as she reached the village’s well. She had to get her sister’s blood
off her hands. She had to. The longer it stayed on her flesh, the longer she
felt like a traitor. As the girl leaned forward, the air turned cold. She turned around. A gasp escaped her lips as her sister stood up straight.
“I told you it was me. Why are you attacking me sister? I
know I should be dead but let me explain..,” Taizai started, but her sister shook
her head.
“You aren’t her! You’re a monster! I see the demon inside
your dead-like eyes. Taizai had emotion. You don’t.” With that comment,
she pulled out her sword from its sheath. She rushed forward and stabbed her
own sister where her heart should be.
“That only works so many times,” Taizai hissed as blood poured from the wound and her mouth. “Don’t make me have to kill you, dear sister.” The
words were like poison.
“Taizai would never talk to me like that!”
“I would if you keep trying to kill me. Now, stop it. Let me
explain what is going on!” There was no doubt to the girl that this was not her
sister. She had no need to hear the demon’s lies.
“I will kill you and free my sister, so she may rest in
peace,” she growled as she removed her sword from Taizai’s chest and aimed for
her neck. Her sister moved to the side before grabbing her giant star and
jamming it deep into her stomach. The girl screamed in pain as the blade slid deeper and deeper into her. She struggled to break free, but either way
she moved, it just caused the wound to deepen and grow wider. There was a sick sound of slurping of her sister’s blood.
“I’m sorry, sister. Even though I can’t die like that… it
still hurts none the less.” Taizai's words were gentle as she ripped her
sister off the blade and threw her down the well. “I’ll be joining you,” she
whispered as she placed her weapon on the ground. Taizai looked around for anything that was razor sharp to stab into her own weapon. Despite her efforts, everything she tried bounced off the sword. No matter how big or heavy, small or
light, nothing could go through it. “How do I..?” she said to no one before realizing
it was part of the curse. The bloodsucking monster was the demon. This explained why she
could be stabbed so many times without dying.
“I’ve given you immortal life, why do you attack me?” a
voice rang from the middle of the weapon. An eye slowly opened within the small
metal piece of the sword's middle. “I give you life, and you try to give me death? How
come, weak human?”
“I know the evil that lives within you. I killed my sister because of you. You are a demon, and demons must be slaughtered.” With
that Taizai picked up the weapon. She walked over to the well and placed small
explosives on both sides. She lit them before jumping into the well.
“You fool! What are you doing?!” the voice exclaimed.
“Giving you a feast before you die,” Taizai explained while
falling. She knew that if she died the weapon surely would die, as well. If that
was not the case, the weapon would be buried among the rubble of the day. It
would take months, and the demon would starve itself to death by then. She sank
the blade into her body. The demon had no choice but to drink. There was a large explosion. The remains of Taizai's body splashed at the bottom. Rocks and rubble followed to crush the sisters. All that remained was silence as the world turned, freed this day from evil's impending doom.
