Life had dealt her the wrong hand. She was sure of it, she knew it well— knew that whatever gods shone down upon this pitiful race, humanity, had given her the perfect hand to lose this game of life with. Merely thinking of it made Lana scowl, as she perched on her tree branch, watching with dark eyes as her sister strolled into the bathroom. Her sister, her perfect, flawless sister— despite sharing the same blood— had life so much better.
Everything had went south for Lana. Dropping two points in GPA after catching a horrendous, almost deadly case of pneumonia had made her lose her scholarship, which forced her to attend community college. There, the professors had been harsh, purposely failing her in the hopes that she’d make it up with “extra credit.” Lana, naive and optimistic at the time, only realized what “extra credit” meant until it was too late. The scars of their abuse made it hard for her to concentrate on her studies, so she dropped up, and made her living selling artwork at craft fairs.
It was a meager living. She barely made ends meet.
Meanwhile, her sister had everything. Lana watched her sister with hungry eyes as she stepped into the shower, her perfect form illuminated by beadlets of water. Hungry, wolf like, she jimmied the lock to her window, a feeling in her loins bursting and burning, craving to take what she could not have. She had an athletic, toned form, her long, flowing hair— dyed black, reaching down to her behind, kept in a ponytail— made her look like a shadow in the night.
Swiftly, she crept into her sister’s bedroom, turning her eyes to the bathroom that lay off to the bedroom’s side. As a master bedroom, the bathroom was included in the room. The door to the bathroom creaked open silently, and Lana narrowed her hawkish eyes, withdrawing the knife from her back pocket. She would not hurt her sister, of course, but it was just in case she tried to get away or scream for help.
In a fluid motion, Lana swung the curtain open and grabbed her sister, clamping a hand over her mouth and holding the knife to her throat. “Don’t move,” Lana ordered. “If you promise not to scream, dear sister, I can drop the knife. Do you promise?”
