The Monster Within Us

Chapter 14: The hangout...?

Scarlet has left the school and was surprised that I even waited for her. She was expecting me to leave her behind, but since she is my first friend, I don't mind it to wait for her.

"You waited for me?" -Scarlet said.

Yeah. You're my first friend, I can't ditch you like that. -I said.

"Oh...if that is the case, do you want to hang out with me?" -Scarlet asked.

I can't turn down on it but I'm worried if the same thing to Thomas will happen to her. Regardless, I still wanted to hang out with her.

Sure, where do you want to start? -I asked.

"How about the park?" -Scarlet responded.

I'm fine with it. -I said.

After some time, we went to the park. I'm not gonna lie, she was fun to hang out with. We went to the mall, bought some stuff, went to a nearby city and explore there for a bit. Looking at a lake like view. It was fun to do that during the times I actually had a friend.

However, night time came around. I had to text the boys that I am gonna head home. As I did just that, I look at the camera yet again, to find my eyes close to bright red.

"Do you want to hang out next time?" -Scarlet asked.

Yeah, sure. I have to go okay? -I said as I ran back home.

Scarlet was a bit weird out but she went back home too. As for me, I sprinted back home. As I was doing that, I see pitch black figures all around me. I quickly ran to the forest and finished drinking down the bottle of animal blood. Unfortunately, that was not enough to stop me. I later on had to find a deer and eat it alive.

I finally gain control of myself again after throwing the antlers away after finishing down the head. It was weird to look at. Looking at the antlers after eating a animal alive again and feel calm about it. To a human, I was panicking, but on a animal, weather I was eating alive or dead, I feel calm. I guess it was due to me eating animals a lot during my life so far. I'm not sure when did i first ate a animal for the very first time, so I didn't think about it. After a few minutes, I walk back to the house. The main thing I was worried about is if I can do the same thing again as I did to Thomas and more importantly, if I'm gonna get caught doing so. That is a question I have thought about since I first ate Thomas.
