Nightmares (Akame Ga Kill)

Chapter 18

A sickening smile stitched on my face, revealing long abnormally sharp teeth. My back arched as I laughed, cracking my spine and twisting it in weird ways as my form began to take place. My eyes glowed and burned even more than ever before and the hunger swelled in the pit of my stomach. My red hair flowed around my head as my eyes directed towards the girl infront of me. 

"Your smell is so intoxicating. You look so soft and yummy to eat, may I have a taste?" I gripped at my scythe and swirled it around me while my wild eyes stared intently at the girl. I laughed again and used my legs to run towards her very quickly. I ran in circles, looking for the best part to start on and decided to go from my behind. 

I misdirected myself to make me appear invisible as I jumped behind the girl and swing my scythe towards her neck. She had Her leg bent and her body about to turn and a shiny weapon appeared before her and swung at my chest. I dodged and flipped backwards landing in a crouched position with my scythe behind me, "Ooh, so that teddy bear of yours hides the miraculous weapon of yours. How wonderful, you certainly are a child. Hehe," I moved away and swung my giant scythe in front of me, pulling the handle to create two smaller scythes chained together, "We can play house if you want. I can be the person hiding in the cracks of your walls, watching over you as you sleep and every night I will get closer and closer to you, and when you tell your parents there is a monster in your room, they wont believe until its to late."

I threw my scythes towards the girl, having one blade slice her arm while the other was dodged my her sword. I jumped over he and caught my weapon mid-air, and quickly turned myself swing my scythe towards her. The girl dodged and shoved the sword towards my neck but I quickly moved and attacked her again. 

Her blood dripped down her arm and drips fell on the floor. I kicked the girl in the stomach and sent her flying a few meters away from me as the blood intoxicated my every sense. I bent down and dipped my finger into the small puddle and watched as the crimson liquid slowly slid down my finger. I could see the small disfigured reflection of my eyes and I felt another smile tug at the edges of my lips. I licked off the blood, allowing the taste to dance across my tastebuds and go down my throat. I felt my eyes widen at the fascinating taste and I felt my stomach grow hungry for more. 

"More.. more.. I need more." I whispered under my breath and slowly got up my eyes staring at my hand as I felt the presence of the girl come closer towards me, "More, more. Flesh. Flesh.. flesh.. flesh..blood. bone..more, more MORE!"

I swung my scythes with greater power than before as the little girl attacked. I fought using the hunger to fuel my strength and I could feel myself grow with more power, while my conscience slipped from my head. I was able to slice of her left arm and I dug my teeth into the dismembered body part, having the flesh sink into my stomach. I threw it on the ground and felt large amounts of blood drip down my mouth, "I need more."

The girl seemed unaffected by the loss of her own arm and continued to swing her sword at me. She was strong, but my power will always be more, because I only get stronger, hungrier. Everyday, the hunger gets worse and my need for more makes me strong. I am able to control it with the bottles of blood I keep hidden, given by my brother's spirit. BUt it is not enough. It will never be enough. I need more. More.

My power has reached its peak and I could feel the burn behind my eyes grow and the ache in my gums made my teeth enlarge. I watched the little girls every move, I collected how she fights and how she dodges so I can find her weak spot. She swung the sword from above her head, leaving her legs open. I spun down and sliced her legs of in one clean shot. I watched as she fell and the dismembered parts fly a few feet away from us. 

She was still attempting to fight  as she used her sword to wiled her up. I wouldn't let her, "Play house is over, sweetie. The monster finally gets you!" I laughed I jumped over her head slicing her arm in the process to make her lose her weapon and I gripped her from behind. I could feel myself begin to drool as I opened my mouth wide and sank my teeth into her neck, I bit apart the flesh.
