Victim 6

I didn't talk till I was 5 years old, never muttered a word to anyone. I had no need to, I chose not to talk, but starring at the reflection in the mirror stole my words away from me. My tongue feels heavy and my jaw clenches.

I jump back when I hear a tap on the window.

"Babe are you ok? Or are you rethinking my proposal?" Troy smirks. How long was I standing there? Minuets? Seconds? Hours? It seemed as if time escaped me.

"Um sorry just recovering" I say meeting his flirtatious tone. I want to gag as the words run off my tongue.

"Well you know we can just skip first period, I can have Mykel give us the notes" he suggests. Who the heck takes notes in english class anyway?

"Sorry babe but I really need to go" I give him my best sorry smile I can muster and start walking into the building.

Just as I'm about to turn close the door behind me I look at the yellow volts wagon, his spot is abandoned. I then look over to Troy's truck, I am surprised to see his upper arm moving at a rapid pace and his head rolled back and eyes tightly closed. My laughter echo through the empty hallways as I make my way to english class, I've never been so amused in my life.

When I walk into English class the young substitute teacher Mr. S is trying to coral Mykel who is running around the room.

"Mr.Smith please take your set before I have to call campus police!" Mr.S screams.

In spite of Mr.S's threat Mykel raises a book above his head and pumps his arms ready to fire the book. Based on the tension of his body the angle of his elbows and the direction of his forehead I know the book is destined to fly towards the door. Which happens to be where I am standing.

Within the few milliseconds before the book leaves his hand my body is excited to feel the pain soon to follow.

"Ahhhh" Mykel screams as he through the book.

I open my eyes and I am sprawled on the floor, I feel the warmth, the pressure and the electricity of the human atop of me. Only one person can make me feel pain, heat and fear.

The hunter.

My head is pounding and a bump is forming where I hit the floor as he tackled me. I turn my eyes to the man displayed across my body, piercing blue eyes so dark they could be considered black are supported by a narrow bridged nose and lips that have never formed a smile, all displayed on a long narrow face.

He is breathing hard and unsteady. I can see his eyes wonder from my eyes to my nose and down to my lips. We both analyze each other, taking in as much information as possible. Finally the world breaks though and he pushed himself off of me.

I take my time to stand up to portray as casual as possible.

"Yum... thank you" I say looking down at my fingers.

He simply nods his head and turns to open the door. Once the door closes and he is no longer in the room I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. The electric current that was going through my body has now ceased and I can refocus.

All around me is chaos, police barge into the room and arrest Mykel. I'm glad no one noticed our stare down on the floor.

"You mother fuckers can't touch me! Take your doughnut fingers off of me! I'll sue you bastards for assault. "

"Sure you will tough guy, just keep moving." the police officer nonchalantly says as he escorts a kicking and screaming Mykel out of the room.

"Ok class lets have everyone settle down, you can gossip about this all you want at lunch."

In this small school news gets around fast, especially when Mykel is involved. Once he slept with Kylie Harper in the janitors closet during second period well they really didn't do much sleeping. Tiffany couldn't wait to tell me all the hot details during third period.

"Today class we are going to start the reading of Frankenstein and explore the ...."

For the first time in my life I had a distraction. During fifth period I failed the pop quiz on the Korean War that I knew was coming. I never fail because Ive already taken these classes. This mystery man is interfering with my camouflage that i need now more than ever.

There is only one answer.

He must me annihilated.

Permanently.

Hey long time no see. I know its short and IIts almost been two whole weeks since my last update, sorry I've been busy with school and family business. My plan is to update at least once a week but I'll let you know if anything changes. I was wondering if y'all wanted me to post a picture of the mystery guy? If no one wants its then i won't post the picture but you have to tell me though votes and comments. !!! Love you all.
