The Weather Weaver - Finale

Pricilla's P.O.V:

I stumbled carefully through the streets in my drunken state, maybe it had been a bad idea to have such a large amount of champagne before I left the house but I shrugged it off, the influence of alcohol made me feel invinsible, like I was a powerful Goddess. I blew a long strand of my red hair from my eyes before reaching through my large black handbag, to make sure I had everything I needed to pull this off.
"Alright… let's see." I mumbled to myself, unaware how slurred my words were coming out of my mouth. Pulling a crinkled piece of paper from my purse I examined it carefully, the corner of my lips curling up ever so slightly as I read the list over.
"Knife… check… Addresses… check…Packet of cigarettes to reward a job well done… check…" I placed the list back into my purse and slowly walked towards the large white building, walking through the automatic sliding doors. At this time of night I was glad there weren't that many staff on duty at the hospital, even the stupid receptionist with the irritating red nails wasn't here like she had been earlier on this morning when I had tried to work through this plan. Besides, it was easier at night. I made my way towards the lift and stepped in, pressing the button for the number floor I wanted. A small 'pinging' noise sounded as I arrived on the floor I desired and I stumbled out of the elevator.
"Now, from what I know…. That receptionist said she was in room forty one. It's a shame she didn't let me through this morning, at least she's not here at this moment" If anybody was there at that moment they probably would have thought I was crazy or drunk  when I was talking to myself, at least I was the better one of the two.

I made my way down the hallway, making sure not to fall over; I had to make it look like I was completely sober. My eyes scanned the numbers on the doors as I walked down the hallway. A young nurse walked towards me and blocked my path, her lips were over glossed with lip gloss and her blonde hair fell around her shoulders. She reminded me of that little brat of a daughter I had, Amy.
"Do you need help?" she asked curiously, I flinched slightly at the sound of her voice, already it was irritating me and I didn't even know her and I hoped to never meet her again.
"I'm lookin' for Dolores Haze's room. I'm her mother." I replied uttering out the work mother with distaste I had tried to not slur my words as they left my mouth but it was to no avail.
"Sure, it's only three doors up from this one Ms Haze." She replied and I shooed her away, claiming that I needed no further help. My hands started to sweat but I knew I had to carry this plan out otherwise I'd never be truly happy in my life. When I made it to her room I grabbed the door handle and burst through the door, closing it behind me. The young girl lay in her hospital bed, not even awake. I smirked to myself; this would make this job so much easier. Noticing there was a chair beside the door I grabbed it and jammed the top part of the chair underneath the doorknob in case anybody dared to interrupt me.
Slowly and as carefully as I possibly could in my state I made my way over to her bed and peered over to glance at her. The girl shifted in her sleep, her body turned towards me and she clutched the pillow tighter. I reached for the knife in my handbag carefully, trying not to make a sound. I pulled it out and smiled, my palms felt sweaty again but I knew I had to do this.
You can't back out now Pricilla. Think about it, once this brat's dead there's only three more to kill. It'll be simple, one slice and she'll be gone forever. Nobody will suspect a thing.

"P-Pricilla!" a shrill voice knocked me from my thoughts and I tensed. Lo was awake by now, her green eyes widened in shock. She could barely move in her hospital bed. It was an unfair advantage but it had to be done. The girl was shaking by now and I moved closer towards the bed, the blade of the knife pointing towards her and a smile crossed my face.
Do it! Kill her now!
Her mouth opened to call out for help or maybe it was to plead for me to stop but by the time I had stabbed her in the stomach roughly, a word would never escape her mouth ever again. Crimson blood flowed from her and stained the white bed sheets and her hospital gown was stained red where I had stabbed her. My body was shaking slightly in disbelief. I had killed her and glad I had done so. Now there were only three more to dispose of and I would have my revenge after all these years. I hoped that the death of Lo would affect Mona the most and I laughed to myself, imagining her face twisted in pain at the news of her little sister's death, and then I imagined her again, her face twisted in the pain of her death and because of her sister's death. I couldn't wait to see her face. I placed the knife back into my handbag and smiled, removing the chair from the doorhandle and throwing it aside, walking out of the room like nothing had happened.

Mona's POV:

"Dinner's ready everyone!" Nina yelled, Amy shifted off the couch and started to walk towards the kitchen bench for dinner. Adrian jumped up and held out his hand for me to grab. I blushed and grabbed it, letting him pull me up. I moved towards the fridge, pulling out a bottle of soft drink and pouring it into two glasses, one for myself and one for Adrian. Amy was already sitting at the table and Nina arranged the food on the table and went to grab something else from the kitchen side bench while I sat down with Adrian.

All of a sudden there was a large bang; our attention was drawn to the front door as we heard footsteps and grumbling. Pricilla was home, on time just as she had said she would be. Nina went to grab another plate to fill food on it for Pricilla, we all froze as she walked through to the kitchen, in her hand was a bloody knife and she smiled at us all.
Nina dropped the plate and it shattered as soon as it made impact with the kitchen tiles, the porcelain spread across the floor. Amy jumped from her seat instantly, making a large space between herself and Pricilla. Adrian grabbed me by my arm and yanked me off my chair, it toppled to the ground. Nina took a few steps back in shock. Pricilla turned towards me, her smile had now turned into an evil smirk, the grip on the knife tightening and her knuckles turned white.
"Sorry I took so long everybody, I had some business to take care of down at the hospital. You see I visited Lo and gave her a nice surprise" my entire body tensed, her words were like venom. On her black dress was crimson blood which was also identical to the blood on the knife.
"Y-You killed her!" I screamed, tears stung my eyes and I managed to hold them back I wouldn't show her that I was weak, not now. All I wanted was for her to be dead so I could have pay back for what she did to Lo.
"Well done Mona." She replied sarcastically, "I killed her because it was payback. You killed somebody I truly loved so I decided to kill Lo. I know you cherished that little girl and you loved her, just like I loved my husband, now they both have something in common. You know what that is Mona? They're both dead!" I flinched as she bragged about killing my little sister and a tear escaped and ran down my cheek. Everybody was in shock because of Lo's death. I looked up and realised that Pricilla had moved closer to me. Adrian yanked me behind him and Pricilla cackled like a witch.
"Oh you foolish little boy, I won't hesitate to kill you either. I'm planning to kill every single one of you in fact. To rid the world of the disasters I made." Amy backed up, one of her hands clinging to my arm in fear. We were all scared and it made me wonder if she was going to kill us. All we needed was a distraction then one of us could call the police and we'd be safe. I looked towards Amy, her gaze met mine and I could tell she was thinking the same thing as me. She gave me a small nod that Pricilla didn't notice as she was too busy boasting about how easy it was to get into the hospital and kill Lo without being noticed.

Amy's grip loosened on my arm and she ran forward in a burst of courage, Pricilla laughed at her foolishness and my eyes widened. Was Amy trying to be the distraction? Or was she just being plain stupid?
"You bitch! How could you kill Lo! You're the real disaster not us!" Amy screamed, a few tears rolled down her cheeks as she charged at Pricilla. The woman flung her arm through the air in front of Amy in an attempt to strike her. At the last minute Amy dodged the strike and moved to the other side of Pricilla. She was about to punch her while she was distracted but Pricilla was too quick and grabbed Amy by her shirt, she spun around and let go, throwing Amy across the kitchen. She screamed as she hit the tiles which were covered with the porcelain shards. They cut into her skin and she cried out in pain. My heart sunk, we were doomed. Adrian still stood in front of me in an attempt to protect me but I knew that it would be no use. Nina stood in the kitchen, her body trembling but I noticed the look in her eyes and she knew she had to do something. Outside the wind howled ferociously and I was trying to keep my fear under control but it wasn't working. Adrian sensed my fear and secretly he was as scared as I was. I slowly shifted sideways and walked in front of Adrian, taking a few steps towards Pricilla, knowing I had to do something or else we were going to be doomed. The woman laughed, her eyes watching my every movement, even though she was drunk she still had a good idea of what she was doing.
"Ahh good girl, you're finally doing what I say. Don't worry your death with be slow and painful." Her words were slurred and I could only just make out what she was saying but I figured it out. I took a few wary steps closer and wondered that if she took my life maybe she would leave the others alone but I doubted it highly.
"Just a few steps closer sweety." She teased, waving the knife about in the air, a large smile across her face.

"Don't you dare hurt Mona!" a voice cried and I was shocked, Nina stood in an aggressive stance in her right hand was the same knife she had been using to cut up and prepare our dinner. Pricilla turned to face Nina and she laughed again.
"Oh Nina, put that knife down you silly girl. You're going to hurt yourself, I'd rather hurt you instead." I saw Nina's face scrunch up into anger at the taunt Pricilla had just said and sighed. I felt horrible but I knew there was nothing we could change. Slowly I tip toed away from the kitchen. If I was just able to get to my mobile phone which was on my bed I could call the police in time if Nina could just distract her for a bit longer.
"No I'm not going to put this knife down until you stop threatening my family! I've always been there for them and protected them! I'm not going to let them down now." Nina screamed in reply. Pricilla laughed again and took a few steps towards Nina I saw Nina tense slightly. She really didn't have to do this and it made me wonder if it was her courage and foolishness that would end her life.
"Oh please, you're pathetic Nina. Even when you were growing up you were a pathetic child and didn't do anything right. Save your hero speech." Pricilla replied, her tone bitter she took a few steps forward and I could tell Nina was horrified.
"N-No! I'm trying to make up for all those times I messed up!" Nina screamed I could see tears welling up in her eyes. "I'm going to be brave…"
I continued to step backwards and screamed as I fell backwards over the couch, preventing Pricilla from making a comeback which would shatter Nina's self esteem any further. My cover was blown and now who knows what would happen! Pricilla turned to see what the commotion was, her back was to Nina and she glared at me. Slowly the woman stepped out of the kitchen and I watched as Nina made small movements towards Pricilla as she moved away.
"Oh Mona, now you're trying to be the hero? Well you were always a pest. I guess I had best kill you first then?"
Within the next few seconds Nina proved her bravery and I watched Pricilla fall to the floor, crimson blood flowing out of her wound which was made by Nina's knife which had made its way into Pricilla's back. Nina's eyes widened as she realised what she had done and a few tears rolled down her cheeks. I ran towards the kitchen, unsure of what to do.
"Mona, call the police and an ambulance for Amy." She said her tone cold and I could sense a hint of fear which dripped off it as she spoke. Adrian ran into the kitchen, moving around Pricilla's body. He knelt down, carefully removing the shards of porcelain from her skin; he grabbed a tea towel from the sink and wrapped it around the lacerations in her arm. Luckily enough it was only in one of her arms otherwise it could have been a lot worse.
I ran into my room and grabbed my mobile off the bed, quickly dialling the number and holding the phone to my ear. Fear shook my entire body and I wondered what would happen to us, I wondered what would happen to Nina.
"I-I need an ambulance and quickly! I-I also need the police over here!" I screamed my voice tense and fearful. After giving my details and hanging up and I ran into the kitchen. Nina was hugging Amy to her chest and sobbing softly. I moved closer and Nina brought me into the hug too and soon I found myself sobbing too. Adrian knelt down by us and we heard a police siren outside. Pricilla was finally gone after all these years, even if she had taken Lo down with her. I knew that as we sobbed on the cold kitchen floor, this experience had made us stronger as a family.
