The Crystals by Courtney Terry (read the beginning after the end novel txt) 📕

so close. It reached his hand towards Marie. She thought he just wanted to play, but he didn’t. He laid his hand on top of her head and crushed it. Marie screamed in agony.
“Oh My God! Someone help me PLEASE!!” Diane screamed as loud as she could, knowing that no body could hear her. She pulled her pocket knife out of her pocket and tried to stick it inside of one of the Crystals. The stainless steel knife melted right before her eyes, burning her hand. The Crystals were immortal. She screamed over and over for someone to help her, but nobody ever came.
She stood there trembling, eyes wide as she watched with terror as they tore Marie to pieces and devoured her.
Their claws dug into Marie’s stomach as they ate her insides. They ripped her arms off and crunched them to pieces. After they’d finished her off, their red eyes made their way over to Diane. Just as they were moving over to Diane, they heard a noise. The high pitched one their language. They thought Diane was the cause of it. As they flew off, Diane knew they vowed revenge on her.
She ran over and fell on the spot where Marie had been just minutes before, and started sobbing.
“Oh my God, please come back Marie. Please!” she lay there sobbing that over and over. She shook un-controllably. She was in that exact spot when Roy came looking for them way past three-thirty.

Diane snapped back to reality. She shuddered as she remembered how she had to tell Roy what happened. He didn’t believe her. He wouldn’t talk to her. He thought it was Diane’s fault Marie was dead.
She looked up in time to see the Crystals moving closer in. She felt the knife in her pocket. She knew she couldn’t harm them with it, but decided to do something better than killing them. She wanted to be with Marie now, so she pulled the knife out and put it to her own neck. One of the Crystals looked over and screamed in anger as it realized what she was about to do. They all stopped and finally caught on. They didn’t like the taste of dead or dying human. They all ran in at once, but she was too quick. She started stabbing herself all over her neck and stomach. Right before she blacked out, she looked up in time to see the Crystals flying away and to see Roy running over to her yelling that he believed her now. The last thing she heard as she was dying was this:
“I believe you now. I saw everything. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” Roy kept repeating that over and over until she could hear no more.
