(That Girl Wants to Kill You)

Mars POV

I feel bad, but the emotion falls when you remember:

That girl wants to kill you

I peep through a crack through Korri's door.

She's sitting on her bed, humming a sadly familiar song while she draws.

I can feel a small stream of blood trickle down my ear.

I wince.

Korri suddenly notices me, and gets to her feet and lets me in.

She looks...

Apologetic.

Embarrassed.

Horrified.

"I-I'm sorry-"

"It's fine Korri. It's just a song. I should have gotten over it years ago,"

"I-I have something to tell you,"

"Like what?

She'd let me in her room.

"What did you want to tell me?" I repeat.

"I-I wanted to tell you that Lola's going through a phase. She'll get over it."

We both know she's lying.

But neither of us say anything.

"I know," I chuckle. "Buuuuut it kinda defeats the purpose of letting her stay here if all she wants to do is kill me."

"I dunno that she wants to kill-"

I give her a matter of fact look, and she frowns for a second before rephrasing her words, "I mean, I don't WANT to believe that she would want such things but, it may be true." she smiles. "Your use of the English language is rubbing off on me," she sighs. "Well if she finds out anything that she shouldn't, what will we do?"

"We will do what is needed," I look at her. "Hey Korri, I'm sorry,"

She frowns. "For what?"

"For not telling you everything."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean- I- I never told you everything."

"Don't."

"What?"

But she left the room before she could answer.
