Decaying Heart

Rebirth

I was riding through the city, trying to get out. I can't belive I just killed them, I killed my girlfriend. 'I don't care though, after what happened, she deserved it' I thought to myself. I pushed the image of her dead body out of my mind and turned down a different street. Road after road was blocked or met with gangs and looters.

I could hear gunshots in the distance and people screaming. As I got to another road block set by the police, I turned down another road. 'Fuck how the hell am I gonna get out' I thought. As I took another turn, I saw a group of people in the distance. 'Shit' I sped up trying to get past them but they ended up throwing rocks and garbage at me till I lost control and fell off my bike.

I laid their, barely able to keep my eyes open. As I tried to get up, I felt something hard hit me in the back and someone kicking me in the ribs. 'Is this how I die?' I thought, as I laid their clinging on to the little amount of strength I had left. I tried looking up, only to see the end of a baseball bat coming towards me.

All of a sudden I felt weightless, it was dark, I couldn't see anything. 'Am I dead?' I wondered. I tried looking around and saw nothing. As I laid or floated there, I couldn't tell which one I was doing, I saw fire. I squinted my eyes because of how bright it was, 'what the hell' I thought.

As the fire got closer and I could hear screaming coming from it. 'Is this hell? Am I really going to hell?' I wondered. Just as I could start to feel the heat from it, I heard a loud booming voice. "Demon rejection, classification, pure one" said the voice. Right as it said that, I could feel my body being pushed. I could hear sirens and nearby voices. I realized that I was back in the city, perhaps I did die but I came back.

I felt different though, stronger and more evilish, is the best way to describe it. I felt a strong power flowing through my body, 'so I am a demon' I thought. That's the only way to analyze it, with what just happened before returning to my body. With everything that happened, I felt great, powerful, like it was a new me.

I sat up and looked around, I could see the buildings, the fire and the group of guys that attacked me. "What the hell" the guy said, "I thought we killed him" his buddy replied. "Theirs something different about him" said the guy with the bat. I got up and felt a surge of strength coursing through me. I put on my goggles and charged the guy with the bat.

I slashed at the guys face, cutting it a little. He lunged at me and swung the bat but I ducked and slashed at his chest and face again, this time cutting deeper. After I slashed him, I grabbed the guy by the throat. I could sense everything around me, even his body trembling. "Looks like your heart is beating faster than normal, could it be fear or adrenaline?" I asked him. He tried grabbing my arm and yanking it for me to let go but I was stronger, much stronger.

If only I could have been this strong in the beginning, when I first found out what Emily was doing. Then I could have ended it sooner but she had to go and break me. I looked at the guy I was holding, "you see, the heart is so wonderful, it's full of love, wonder and passion" I said to him, "but it's also full of heartbreak and pain" I continued, as I ripped into his chest. Hearing the sounds of skin tearing and blood rushing out, as I grabbed his beating heart and ripped it out of his body.

I let go of the guy and as he dropped to the ground, I continued to look at the heart in my hand. 'Hearts are to fragile' I thought to myself. I looked over at the other people standing their, horrified. "Love is a lie, love is just an illusion and hearts are to soft, their should be a void there instead, so then nothing can affect it" I said, as I gripped the heart more and watched it decay in my hands.

I walked over to my bike and started ripping it apart, to make a type of bomb. As I was making it, one of the guys tried to run. I grabbed a gear and threw it at him, the gear went right through the back of his head and exited out the front. As his body hit the ground, I finished making the bomb and threw it at the remaining ground of guys. As they looked at it, it went off and the group was engulfed in flames, till they eventually turned to ash.

I stood their for a couple minutes, looking at the ash, that once was people. 'I'm gonna have fun like this' I thought and decided to run off and find more people. I turned down every street, that had people on it and killed them, some I even turned to ash just by grabbing them. After I killed a few dozen people, I decided it was time to rest for the night and found an abandoned house and slept there for the night.
