Chapter 7: The Tragedy
The hours have passed and it was dark already. The groundskeepers of the park took the night to go to Wing Kingdom, but Mordecai felt so bad than he couldn't go out with his friends.
-Mordecai, sure you don't want to come to Wing Kingdom? - The worried Rigby said.
-No, I'm fine now. Go without me.
-Well, then I will save something to bring you.
Rigby came down from the stairs and Benson got worry when seeing that Mordecai was not stepping down.
- And Mordecai? - Benson asked.
- I'm sorry. He's not going to come.
- Poor Mordecai. I hope he is fine - Pop said worried.
- The best will be that we leave him alone. Perhaps he'll recover for tomorrow. - Benson Said.
-Fine. At least it cannot come out worse. - Skips said.
They all left the house and closed the door letting Mordecai alone in the house.
Mordecai spent hours in the solitude feeling guilty for it happened and he decided to take his cellular phone to call Margaret in order that she comes. He wrote a message of text telling her that she came to the park to cheer him up:
"Dear Margaret. I am only upon house and feel terrible for this afternoon. I need to see you, please."
Once he sent the message and leant on his bed again, he felt an originating noise of the door. Mordecai rose and went under the stairs to answer the door. When opening it, he saw CJ standing there in present.
-Hello, what do you do here?
-Can I come in? – CJ asked.
-Yeah. Sure. - Mordecai responded.
CJ entered to the house and both sat in the sofa. They did not say but one word. Something else was not listened to at the living room than the tic-toc of the clock. Mordecai decided to break the silence being afraid that CJ continued to be upset for what happened.
-Look, CJ. I am sorry to have lied to you. I understand if you no longer want to be with me.
There was a moment of silence and CJ talked:
-Mordecai, I want to set things right. That's why I came. I will go to get a glass of water.
CJ stood up and walked toward the kitchen. Mordecai got to think himself than such time everything would end well. His phone began to ring and Mordecai rose to go up the stairs. He got over to his room and took the phone that was close to the lamp. He saw that the message came from the cellular phone of CJ and it said: "Forgive me"
"Good-bye"
Mordecai turned and out of nowhere he felt a sharp object cutting through his chest. He noticed that it was CJ carrying about a knife that she took from the kitchen. Mordecai fell to the ground when seeing blood gushing forth of his chest. CJ balanced on Mordecai and she began to stab him violently.
-I TRUSTED IN YOU! I GAVE YOU MY LOVE! AND THAT IS HOW YOU PAY ME? YOU FUCKING LIER OF SHIT! YOU BASTARD! - CJ shouted furious while she was stabbing Mordecai.
Mordecai tried to defend himself from CJ's anger and the knife crushed his hands leaving him undefended. Mordecai shouted of dreadful pain to feel all those brutal stabs. Blood was going out splashing and staining the ground, walls and CJ's clothing. Also the blood sprinkled on a photo close to the lamp, where Mordecai was smiling along with Rigby. CJ hammered the knife into Mordecai's neck and she began to move it like a saw cutting Mordecai's throat. CJ withdrawn the knife and Mordecai began to drown with his own blood.
-CJ. - Mordecai said between gargles.
He extended his left hand trying to touch her one more time. But life had completely abandoned his body and left drops his arm. CJ's eyes lit up and she realized what she had done. Mordecai no longer was moving, he was dead and CJ had murdered him. CJ released the knife leaving it fall in the ground and she hold her head nervous for what she did. Tears were decreasing from her eyes again and CJ left the house quickly giving a dreadful shout of horror.
It didn't pass so much for that Margaret received the message and went to the house to see Mordecai. But when she arrived home and saw that the door was open, she knew that something was wrong. Especially when seeing bloody footprints in the ground and in the stairs. She followed the trail to the 2do floor and the trail conducted her to Mordecai's room. Margaret discovered the horrible occult scene at that room. She found Mordecai's dead body over a blood puddle and she could notice that he received 25 stabs and his throat was cut even approximately to decapitate him. Margaret quietly petrified and didn't know how to react. But she knew exactly who was at the bottom of the scene. Especially when she discovered the message that CJ had sent him to his phone.
CJ found herself seated alone in the dark meditating upon what she had done and she listened to Margaret's voice behind.
-CJ, what have you done? – Margaret said.
CJ turned and she saw that it was her.
-What are you talking about? - CJ said playing the innocent.
-You know well what I'm talking about. - Margaret said serious.
-If it's for Mordecai's business, you can keep him. I'm not thinking in date with him anymore. - CJ said standing on foot.
Margaret threw a big bag to CJ.
-If that is the case, tell him. – Margaret said.
CJ didn't understand well what was happening. She lowered to pick up the bag. She felt something weighed in its inside and she opened it. CJ watched inside and disclosed than inside was Mordecai's head. Margaret had finished of separated the head from his body to deliver it to CJ like a warning for her act of murder. CJ frightened, dropped the bag in the ground and when looking up, she saw Margaret getting close to her with a sharp knife in her left hand. CJ stopped the knife with her right hand and grabbed Margaret's neck with the other hand.
-Mordecai was mine and you stole him from me. – CJ said.
-No, it was you who wanted to steal him from me. – Margaret said.
For CJ's surprise, Margaret had another knife in the right hand and she stab it to CJ in her belly. CJ fell kneeling and weak for the injury. Margaret did not release the knife and with the other one in her left hand, gave a loud blow in CJ's neck cutting her throat. Blood went out sprinkling Margaret's face and CJ fell in the ground, bleeding to death.
- Mordecai would have been my husband. We were going to have a son together and you miss it off. Mordecai was my soul mate and he always loved me. I've could make him happy. I would have given him a good life out of the park. And now that never goes to happen. If he can't be mine, then he'll not be of no one's. Not even yours. - Margaret said in a furious crying.
CJ finally perished and Margaret picked up the murder weapons to leave no evidence.
On the following day, CJ's cadavers and Mordecai were found. The news became very perturbing for those who knew it. Benson got bad for what happened, in spite of the fact that he was a very slack groundskeeper, he always counted with him to solve his own mistakes or other ones. Mordecai's mother was also present. She had passed through the authorities to see his son for one last time. She embraced his decapitated son's body and cried desperately weeping for her only son. Even Margaret's father along with other members of the family cried for him. Starla embraced Muscle Man; they could not believe what happened. High Fives also embraced Muscle Man in crying. Muscle Man tried not to cry, but he had to let out his pain. The Baby Ducks had been present when had found out about the news and their crying were saddest that it heard in the scene and in the funeral.
-I told you to be careful with The Triangles of Love. Why you never listen? - Skips said, while he cried.
-You were like a son for me, Mordecai. Even that you got my daughter with child, you would have been a great member for my family. - Margaret's father said.
Between all present, Rigby was the one who suffered more. Mordecai and Rigby had been big friends since early childhood. They always were together in the good and in the bad. Mordecai always forgave Rigby for the mistakes that he was committing and now Rigby known that he would never see him again. Rigby hugged Mordecai's dead body while he cried and he didn't want to release him.
-I will never forget. I will always remember you, Mordecai. I hope that I could see his face one last time. I will miss you and from now on I will never slack off again. For you, my friend.- Rigby said, while he cried strongly.
After authorities found the phone with the message and CJ's dead body, it was declared that CJ had murdered Mordecai and next she stabbed to herself because of guilt of having killed him. That had provoked that CJ commit suicide cutting his own throat. But what about the message than Mordecai sent to Margaret?
Margaret declared that she received the message, but she never attended to read it. That she had gone out to walk without see the cell phone and without it. That way than the message she saw it this morning just when they found Mordecai dead. Fortunately Margaret didn't leave digital footprints, neither any trail to prove Margaret's presence in the crime scene. She was very smart to achieve revenge of Mordecai's Death and authorities were not going to go after her, neither to suspicious of her, not even to interrogate her. Margaret now was unpunished.
But the only doubt that stayed was what happened with Mordecai's head? It had disappeared completely and the authorities would never go to find it. Margaret had returned to her apartment right after the funeral and she I walked to her room. She went to bed and took the bag that was by her side. What she took out from inside was nothing more and nothing less than Mordecai's head. She now had it and as authorities were not going to suspect nothing, the head would never find it. Margaret already had planned moving with Mordecai to begin a new life and that is what Margaret is planning to do. She hugged Mordecai's head with a
distressing look, while she was lying down in bed.
-Everything will be alright, Mordecai. Nothing of this would have happened if I had not gone away to the college, leaving you alone. I promise you that from now on I will never leave you again.
She gave a Kiss to the head and kept hugging it with all her love and affection.
-At last we will be together forever, Mordecai.
