The Voice of a Sweet Killer

chap.1

Devin’s POV

~~~~~~~~~~ 

I stood there in the rain listening to the sweet sounds of the water droplets hitting the ground, hiding my own tears against the misty rain. The coolness soothed me and I began to reminisce about the weeks before all of this had happened.

3 weeks earlier

“Devin! Come on you have to ask him or you will never know.” 

My friend Bree has been trying to get me to ask out Hayden, a guy I have had a crush on since the first time I saw him. Her blue eyed stared straight at me I could have sworn she was about to kill me when I heard a familiar voice chuckle. I turned around to see a guy who stood maybe 5’8 with curly dark brown hair, green eyes and a dimpled grin. 

“Yeah Devin, You should ask him out.”

“Shut up….”

“Excuse me?” 

I looked down and saw his hand slip out a knife and his fingers slowly lifted up my chin. 

“Mind saying that again, love. I didn’t quite catch that.” He smirked.

I shook my head.

“Hey, dude come on. This wasn’t a conversation you were i-“ the knife cut Bree off and a small slice appeared across her nose. 

“Did you think I was bluffing?” 

I looked over at Bree stunned; she closed her mouth and backed away slowly away from him. 

“So you think Justice has a voice?, but we all have a choice.” 

“Justice is no monster.”

“You think I’m a monster love? You haven’t even got to the best part yet” He said smirking, his eyes glued to mine.

I kept my mouth closed. 

“And I won’t feel a thing.”  

His last sentence was like a melody.

“You sing?”

He hesitated then nodded. “I studied some in high school.” 

“You-You have a good voice.” I managed to say.

“You know nothing of me, what makes you think I can sing?” 

“The actions don’t make the voice of a person.”

“What ever happened to actions speak louder than words?”

“I don’t know you tell me..” 

With that I walked away from him without getting his name or anything.
