Eva Story

Author: Centuries of History.
Disclaimer: This fictional story contains domestic abuse.

Eva's world before the outbreak and virus was not a happy one.
Even during her childhood everyone around her was breaking her trust and they tried without any luck to bring her self-esteem down. She ran away from home as an early teen, living on the streets, trying to survive the best she could and getting in trouble with the law all the time, small misdemeanors but still trouble no less.

When she was seventeen she met David. She believed as a naive teen that he was her soulmate and true love, even if it was ten years between them. He took her off the street into a small house, although it was not much but it was theirs. When she was eighteen they got married, and not soon after the abuse started happening.
It took a year before she dealt with it because, if you think one year of abuse made her weak you are very wrong. She took her time, did her research, and slowly started to poison him, putting it in his morning coffee.

He slowly started to get sick, not enough to kill him, but enough for him to not want to live, and that was her plan all along. Eva knew that David was way too prideful to show himself as weak and sick in front of others, and he would never allow himself to die of sickness no one knew what it was. He would rather go out with a bang, and so he did. One beautiful Saturday morning he took his own life.
This did not only bring Eva freedom and a house but also with some cash to get by for a time.

Only months later she met Liam, he was not like any other man she met.
Liam was kind and sweet. Within six months they were married, and lived in her and her late husband's house, but with a few upgrades. They were so in love that they got matching tattoos.
But Liam was not happy for long, he wanted a family, and children badly, something Eva never wanted.
One day he came into the living room while Eva sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"I don't know how to tell you this"
"Just tell me" Eva kept looking at the TV, not even realizing Liam now sat next to her.
"I met someone else, it has been going on for a bit over a month, but she is pregnant Eva, and you know I always wanted a child".

Eva stopped looking at the TV and was staring at Liam.
She was in shock, and that shock morphed into anger.
Eva was filled with rage, she starting to shout, and took up a baseball bat, hitting furniture and small items that were in her way.

Liam just tried to stop her from destroying everything they owned, holding her down which triggered her, making her see red. She grabbed onto the broken shards of a vase that was lying next to them, pushing the shard into Liam's neck. In shock he looked at Eva, lying next to her, holding his hands over his wound.
Eva stood up looking down at him, as he bled dry on the living room floor.

Now Eva quickly needed to come up with a plan. First, she banged the back of her head on the wall, with such force that it started to bleed. She took the shard from his neck, slowly and carefully, and cut her arms to be seen as defensive wounds. Then she forcibly and quickly stuck the shard into her stomach and pulled it out, carefully to not hit any organs, then carefully put back the shard into Liam's neck again.

She could now call the police, telling them how she defended herself and the death of Liam was accidental. She was crying and screaming, and you may think it was just an act, but she was honestly sad, she had loved him. What would happen with the other woman and the child she doesn't know, but to be completely honest she did not want to know either.

Anthony was to become Eva's husband number three and the one that would bring her down, but he was not like the other two. He was dangerous, so maybe just maybe he could handle Eva and her temper.
He did also not have a proper job, but was part of a gang that would bring in a good chunk of money.
In the beginning, life was good, even if they would fight sometimes.

Their relationship was filled with passion, either they could not keep their hands off each other, always at least holding hands, or they were fighting and screaming at each other, but he had never laid one hand on Eva, even if she had on him. Anthony would not dare to do so.

But then the night had come to sign his death sentence, Anthony came home drunk.
Eva never liked when he came home so drunk he could barely stand on his two feet.
It caused an argument, not unlikely like other ones they had been through, but this time he made a fatal mistake. He pushed her back and she fell to the floor. He looked at her, ashamed of what he had done, and ran out the door. That argument had sobered him up.

Eva would not let this slide, even if he was drunk and ashamed about his actions. No one would ever lay a hand on her and be unpunished. So, she started to plan once again, taking the advantage of Anthony's criminal past.
One day she got up in the middle of the night, took a gun she bought from a rival gang in the area, and shot Anthony in the head. Then she hid the gun and the police were once again called to her house.

But this plan did not go as Eva thought it would. The police suspected foul play and not by a rival gang member, but by Eva. They began a search and investigation, even looking into the other two previous cases.
When realizing it was murder, the trial that came did not last long. The investigators had gathered so much evidence against Eva.

She was sentenced to life in prison and the magazines dubbed her the nickname, The Black Widow.
A nickname that followed her into the walls of the prison as well. When the Virus hit, she was in there, and the barbed wire outside and the lack of people that came from the outside slowed down the spread at first. But after a little while the warden and the guards brought in the virus and many of the prisoners became infected. But yet again, Eva had been lucky and managed to avoid the first panic wave of the outbreak because she was in solitary.

There was one guard, that had compassion for the prisoners, even those that were in solitary. Before her death, she opened up all the doors so they would not die of starvation and gave them all the opportunity to escape and live. The outbreak was not good for many, but for Eva it granted her freedom and a new chance. She could now take out her anger and frustration on the infected.

She took the dropped guns and shot her way out of there, smelling freedom coming closer with every step she took. Now Eva could start a new life, but it is appropriate to give out a clear warning.
Never cross Eva or call her The Black Widow, if you value your own life.
