The Monster Within Us

Chapter 41: Another fight and maybe another death

I noticed Zachary and a couple of other guys walk up to me and I turn around to see them.

"Where's your lunch? Oh wait, you don't eat!" -One guy said. He and a couple of others laughed.

There is no point of eating lunch, I'll do that later. -I said.

"Is it because of your 'condition'?" -Zachary said in a sarcastic tone

I was feeling upset. He probably doesn't know what it feels like to not reveal yourself as a monster to humans.

No....I don't want to eat. -I said

Zachary walks up to me and went up to my face. He doesn't look pleased with how I look. I don't blame him, I don't like him either. Our eyes both locked onto each other. He pulled his fist back and tried to punch me. I grabbed his fist and kept it there.

Security guards are around us, new kid. If you want to fight, you're gonna get suspended. Ya got it? -I let go of his fist and grabbed my stuff. Zachary just stand here while his friends was surprised about what I just did. Lunch was over and the classes started.

A few hours later, school ended and I left to go back to my new home. As I was walking there, I noticed someone was watching me again. I look around and I still see nothing. I noticed that as I looked up by the corner of my eye, I see bright red eyes. That's how I knew it was the figure. If I did look at him, he would run, but I still feel like someone is still watching me. As I make my way to a road and into the forest to my home, I knew something was wrong and I had to stop for a bit and relax for a bit. Walking to the house can be really long and my legs was hurting due to me walking from class to class.

After some time, I got up and continue walking and as soon as I took another step, I heard a knife swish and before I can even turn around, I felt some sort of pain through my head, then a kick from my back. Next thing I knew, I was on the ground. I look up to see Zachary looking at me and said something that I couldn't really hear. After some time, he turned around, walk away and I knew this was my time to strike.

I slowly got up and turn around and started to laugh. I didn't take off my mask yet because I got something else for me in my mind.

Zachary turned around quickly and see me, standing up with his knife in my head. I then ripped it out and tossed it away from me. His face immediately turned white and his jaw dropped.

What's wrong Zachary? I giggled. Weren't you the one who stabbed me? Why are you scared now?! -I said. The figure was surprised and knew he had to look to see if I can do anything else. I ran up to him and he fell backwards. I didn't do anything.

Let this be a warning. Don't try anything funny. -I said. I was getting him a threaten warning.

He then got up and started running immediately. I look at him as he was running away, then I turn around to see the figure in front of me. I didn't even hear him land on the ground. Regardless of what happened we both walk back to the house and act like nothing was happening. One thing that questions me is does he write notes or does he talk? It's pretty unlikely that he talks but writing notes? He probably ask someone for help on writing notes for him. Either way, we both grab something to eat and I went to sleep.
