Myra couldn't decide what she was feeling. It was all too confusing. It wasn't happiness nor sadness. She wasn't angry. It wasn't envy. She couldn't even tell why she was feeling it. It was something she'd never felt before. It was the thing they'd described as love. And she was feeling it for Sam.

'No! I was only possessed by something...'
Her hands and clothes were stained with crimson red blood as she dropped the bloody knife she was clutching a while ago. The knife she struck in the chest straight into the heart of Emily - the one who had everything may it be clothes, riches and even the one she loves.
Everything and that's what made her kill Emily. She was possessed by what everyone call envy.

This is the life. I have no worries, no problems. I'm beautiful, and that's all that matters. I'm worshiped, and that makes me happy. But most of all I'm envied. Everyone wants to be me and I feed off of their emotions. I'll never be brought down off my throne. I belong here.
Ever heard of bottling everyone’s envy? One day envy became heavy and was dumped into a well by accident. Then all the tiny villagers drank the water, feed it to the crops. And the few animals they had. Usually they hoped for fresh rain year round, after tasting envy they each committed themselves to the well, hoping for crops and many other wondrous things they envisioned from naturally drinking their well water. Now they have a bottle industry for 'Envy' that comes in many favorite flavors.
