Darling, Thanks For Stabbing Me

My phone buzzed interrupting the beautiful evening as I ignored it because spending time with my fiancé was more important right now than anything else. We needed to plan for our wedding that is scheduled after six months from now so my cousin and my sister were here to accompany us and discuss few things. I smiled brightly to something that my fiancé whispered and chuckled lightly. I loved him. He was the first man whom I dated and the first who kissed me and embraced me. He is my cousin’s best friend and thus had been visiting my family from long ago. I never paid much attention before but since I got sixteen that is four years back, he asked my parents to court me and I blushed hard. He loves me so much and I love looking at his handsome face that was dreamy. My phone buzzed for the third time and I finally picked it up. “Hello, is this Iris Reider?” A male voice asked professionally making me anxious. “Yes, who is this?” I asked biting my lower lip as Aiden watched me with concern. “I am sheriff Mike and I am sorry to inform that your parents met with an accident so, can you please come here soon?” That was it. I sweated and knew that something bad had happened. Aiden needn’t ask anything as he embraced me and was ready to leave but we were stopped by my sister. She said she would come along with me and I thought it was better. When I was rushing towards parking lot, my ears fell on a muffled voice that sounded like Derek. Following it I saw Derek looking pleased as his next words shattered me. “Are you sure the Reiders are dead? I wouldn’t pay if they escape this.” I couldn’t believe because he was my cousin and we lived as a loving family. I confronted him and saw how shocked he was by being busted. He didn’t refuse instead sneered at me and looked behind me before smiling. I was about to slap because of his indecency but felt a sharp piercing pain in my back. My words and tears chocked as I felt nauseous. I touched my back and brought my hand to see blood smeared on it making me go dizzier. I couldn’t breathe and my eyes fell on my brother who pulled his hand back and before I could have deciphered; he brought his hand with full force now wounding me in my stomach. My eyes widened when I saw him holding a dagger. I sobbed not being able to make a sound. I wanted to ask why he did that. I wanted to know what went wrong all of a sudden that he needed to kill us and whether uncle aunt knew about this. I managed to balance myself on my staggering feet but received another blow and it continued till I fell on my knees. My body jerked with each fatal blow from front and the back. I managed to clutch his blazer and started to pick myself up. My vision was blurred and couldn’t see or feel anything else than the terrible pain in my body. “Brother!” I whispered but he pushed me back and stabbed me again. “We hate you! You tamed grandpa and received everything and think that we would become your slaves. Never! I will have everything to me as it should be because I am the eldest grandchild. How could you enjoy it when there are elders still alive huh? You b***h!” He kept kicking me with his legs on my stomach, legs and hands and even crushed my chest. I tried to endure it. I tried to remember about all those times when he used to carry me on his shoulder and fight off the guys who tried to come close to me. I just wanted to live to erase the misunderstanding. I wanted to make him understand that it wasn't like me. I would never do that but it was grandpa’s wish which I couldn’t ignore. “Arggghhh! She is so stubborn. Kill her Now! C’mmon.” Derek yelled irritatingly. I prayed to god that someone come and find us out. I was crying quietly because no matter what; I feared to die. I opened my eyes to see Aiden standing in front of me as I lay on the ground with devastated heart. “No...” I whispered and tried shaking my head. I saw how upset he was pointing a gun at me. “Shoot! Remember?” Derek instructed him and my heart sank. He looked like he was uncertain about something and slowly lowered his gun earning curses from Derek and smile from me. Just when I thought he would pick me up and kiss my forehead like always, he again pointed his gun and closing his eyes he hit the trigger. An ear-splitting sound boomed and I felt my flesh tear apart. My eyes closed due to shock and then I felt nothing... Absolutely nothing.
