3rd Person

“Eve, what have you done?” A man’s voice penetrated the thin walls of the pups’ prison, reaching their young ears as easily as water through a sieve.

“l know that voice!” Riley exclaimed, “It’s the ‘tective!”

“Shh” Parker hushed her, “I want to hear!”

“I did what anyone with half a brain would Eve told her lover, glancing at the cellar door where Jane’s brats were locked safe and sound. They walked right into my hands, I would have been a fool to turn such a golden opportunity down” A golden opportunity was putting it mildly. It had been an absolute blessing. She didn’t have any particular plans when she went to Ethan’s home, only to watch and try to figure out what to do next. Then the little idiots walked out the door like lambs to the slaughter. It had been only too easy to get them to do what she wanted, once she grabbed the runt.

She hadn’t figured out how she was going to get rid of them yet. Every time she tried to get her hands on one long enough to inflict some damage, the other three lept on her like a pack of vicious monkeys.

Eventually she could wrestle one of the girls away long enough to hold them hostage against the others and make them stop attacking, but she was going to need to plan much better if she wanted to end all four of their lives.

This isn’t what we discussed” The investigator growled. “Every man, woman and child in the pack is going to be looking for us now.”

They were going to be looking for me anyway.

Eve reasoned coolly, “And now I can finally get rid of the little monsters.

“I thought you didn’t want him anymore?” The detective hissed. “There’s no reason to harm them. You have me now. You have our baby.”

“1 don’t want him.” Eve replied. “I want my years back. She declared, with a catch in her shrill voice. “All the best years of my life, that I wasted trying to make him love me. I did everything in my power to make him see that I would make the most perfect Luna, and he only ever had eyes for Jane. She could do no wrong, even after the attack! He just kept her inside where the pack couldn’t see how much he still loved and doted on her”

“Killing them won’t give you your youth back, Eve.”

The detective raised his voice so loudly the pups reeled back from the door. “If we run right now, we might have a chance to escape. We can start our lives fresh someplace new, but if you kill those pups Ethan will hunt us down and he will never stop. He will not give up until we, and our child, is dead.”

They deserve it!” Eve countered, “That runt foiled my plans every chance she got, and the others helped her once they found each other.”
