The Monster Within Us

Chapter 16: A enemy to trust

I was seeing Aaron choke holding someone and I can tell from the other person's face that Aaron is not having it. I was thinking of leaving the area when I heard something from Aaron and the guy. That made me stay a little bit longer.

"Tell me, where is my damn money?!" -Aaron yelled.

"I...i don't know dude." -The guy said.

"Really?! You had 4000 dollars and you just lose it?!" -Aaron said.

"What do you need the money for anyways?!" -The guy asked.

"It's for my dying mom for FUCK SAKE!" -Aaron yelled.

"I don't know where the money is, I promise I'll give it to you okay?" -The guy said.

Aaron finally let the guy go.

"Fine..." -Aaron said.

Just as Aaron was about to walk away, I hear a gun click. It was a Glock 17. I knew I had to help him. As soon as he about to pull the trigger, I ran past Aaron and took the bullet as soon as the guy pulled the trigger.

The guy and Aaron was shocked that I even did that. Aaron was about pick me up but I opened my eyes and I slowly got up. The guy was mortified when I can get up with no problems, while blood was going down from my chest. Aaron has his jaw dropped after what he just saw from me.

I started to laugh a bit but I was still in control of myself. I slowly walk towards the guy and he was still trying to shoot me, I take the bullets and they didn't really affected me. I see blood pouring down from my body. From my leg, to my chest, and to my head. Aaron couldn't move and the guy was starting to tremble. He knows that the bullets are not gonna kill me.

The only way for him to stop is by finishing him off. I grabbed the gun from his hand and threw it to Aaron. I grabbed him by the neck again and told Aaron to get the gun but he didn't listen to me and just stood there. Finally I look back at the guy and pushed my hand through his body and ripped his heart and one of his lungs out of his body and let him go. I was thinking of eating it but instead, I crushed the lung and watched the heart slowly beating for about 10 seconds until it finally stopped beating.

Finally, I took off my mask and I ate the guy's heart, all while Aaron was just frozen in place. I know he is still in there and is watching everything, even after me killing the guy. I finally took a deep breath and put my mask back on, not knowing or even caring about a bunch of gun shots all over my body.

I walked up to Aaron and slapped the shit out of him to wake him up or to make him snap out of it and he finally closed his mouth. That's how I know he is finally back from being frozen. I feel like he was a human at first and became a piece of ice later on until I slapped him to get himself back together.

Now the question that I think about: Is he gonna tell everyone who I am or do I have to kill him myself?
