Vincent Emprada
The Widowed Lover
Location: Lake Mood: Conflicted Thoughts: "I miss her..."
Vincent laid in a puddle of blood...he held onto the cold body of his lover, Scarlet. as the blood ran down his arms. the warmth slowly faded from her body as the moist red fluids soaked his pants...despite just being flown out of a window, broken bones and a concussed head could not keep Vincent from trying to revive his soulmate.
"Scarlet...please don't leave me...don't leave me alone in here...i can't do it...please...please don't die..." he said as tears flowed down his face. as he held Scarlet, tears in his eyes, he heard footsteps approaching him. he slowly looked up to see an injured, drunk man...the killer of his beloved. almost instantly, sadness and despair turned into anger and rage...
With a growl, Vincent stood up and faced the man. before the man could ask if he was okay, Instinct took over Vincent's mind, he quickly screamed and tackled the man to the ground. out of his mind, he proceeded to send his fists into the man's face, using his strong arms he toned up from college ball. he couldn't hear the man's yells of pain as he broke the drunk's nose. even when blood from the man's face splattered against Vincent, he still continued to beat him and beat him without taking even a brief moment to stop his violent rage...soon, he grew tired and decided to blind the man by forcefully pushing his thumbs into the truck driver's eye sockets. as the screams echoed in Vincent's ears, tears fell even more, losing himself to the monster that took over...all he could think about was ending this man's life...the final blow soon followed after Vincent realized the man had suffered too much trauma and passed out...
As he gazed at the man's lifeless body, Vincent's eyes widened. he quickly backed up and began to panic...this man was about to die, Vincent was moments from becoming a murderer...not taking any chances, Vincent ran to the truck and ripped off the plate with his pocket knife. he then ran to the body and dragged it into the back of the truck...Vincent slowly gazed at the man's face...this man could never be identified...for his sake...
"There is only one thing i can do now..." he said before picking up a heavy rock. he then took a deep breath and slammed the rock into the man's head, crushing it instantly.
"Oh god...." he said in horror before arching his back, vomiting on the bloody pavement...after taking a moment to compose himself, he picked up the same rock and threw it against the exposed gas tank as hard as he could, putting a small hole into the tank, causing the gasoline to pour out into the bloodied ground...he then pulled out a disposable lighter and lit the fluid, causing the truck to slowly become engulfed in flames...he then turned to his lifeless lover...he reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone...and dialed 911...
"i need to report...an accident..." he said in a weak voice.
Vincent took in a deep breath as his eyes opened swiftly. he woke up in a cold sweat, looking around as he began to have a panic attack.
"Oh s**t! what the hell!?" he yelled as tears flowed down his face...once he realized where he was, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes, placing his hands against his face as he wiped away the tears he cried in his sleep.
"Jesus Christ..." he said in a weak tone before looking down at his right arm, gazing at the scar he recieved at the car accident two years ago...he never did forget that night...his friends sure as hell didn't forget the day following...when they found him in the hospital, unable to function without breaking down into tears...he was like that for a long time...he still wasn't the same...hell, had his friends not invited him to this "vacation", he would have spent the month in his house feeling sorry for himself as he would lay on a inflatable bed in the pool...gazing up into the sky for hours...it was unhealthy...he really did appreciate his friends...but really, all he wanted was to just feel the same love he felt when he was with Scarlet...of course, that would not likely happen...she was gone, and nothing could ever fix that...
Vincent pulled himself out of bed and slowly made his way into the hallway, passing by the rooms...it seemed Celeste or Clyde was awake, the door was open...but Vincent did not really think about it...he had other things on his mind...the order of how his friends woke up was the absolute last thing on his mind...hell, he couldn't even eat or sleep lately...everyone could see how this new lifestyle affected Vincent...he was still very muscular from sports...but he lost alot of weight...he used to be a healthy 10 percent fat, now he was down to 2 percent...the color in his skin was more pale than usual, and he had bags around his eyes...which were bloodshot from lack of sleep...on his way out of the house, he passed by Lessie, who was relaxing in the sunroom...not bother to talk to her, he kept moving and made his way to the backdoor...he wondered how his friends felt about him...the entire time they were in the house, Vincent maybe said a few brief words during the stay. he would always take his food to his room...that is when he actually decided to eat...during the day, the only thing he ever did was sit down at the old wooden bench outside and gaze into the center of the lake...just staring for hours without purpose...either that or simply not leaving his room...but the Lake...or just water in general..that was an odd one, it seemed that gazing into the blue waters...comforted him...they were the same color of Scarlet's eyes...maybe that was why Vincent could sit down in silence for hours on end...and simply watch the calmness and peace of the lake water...
