The Cure - Nathan Sykes (The Wanted) Fan Fiction - COMPLETED

Chapter 3

Hunger washed over me but I knew I couldn’t give in. I ran as fast as I could out of Town. The urge to feed slowing me down, the scent of blood all around. They were everywhere, it was impossible to get away from it all. I finally came to an old abandoned farm. I sighed as I saw the tattered building. I got to the door as fast as I could, my body feeling weak from hunger. I couldn’t let it beat me. I tried to open the door and it fell open… I broke it off its latches. I still hadn’t learned how to control the extra strength I seemed to have. I walked in and looked around. Mould was growing on the walls, damp patches were on the ceiling obviously the roof was leaking. It wasn’t a place you felt safe, a place anyone would want to live but it was a place I had to live.

I couldn’t go back into Town no matter how much I wanted to. The urge to feed was to strong and I couldn’t control myself. I didn’t know how to stop once I started. Most of them around here knew how to stop; they also knew how to turn the innocent if they go too far. They know how to turn them into what I am. I tried to run from what I was I didn’t want to believe it. They say soon as you believe it everything comes naturally but I didn’t want to believe it. I wanted to believe there was a way out and that I would finally get my old life back, but I knew it was all too good to be true. I knew there was no way out and that that was my life from then on, but I wouldn’t let myself believe it. I hide myself from the truth from the world. I was dead to the world and to those around me, I was dead to myself. The old me had gone and the killer inside me had taken over. When I saw people I didn’t see friends I saw food.

I lay in the middle of the field staring at the sky. The sky was clear; you could see every sparkling star in the sky. It reminded me of home. Reminded me of the friends I used to have. I let my mind wonder. I thought of a few years back when I was 16, I thought of what it felt like to have all of the natural feelings humans have. I remembered lay there on the grass at the back of my old house. I lay there with my best friend. We stared at the night’s sky, taking in its beauty. We spent the whole night talking till the sky turned light. I shook myself of my thoughts of her; I couldn’t get over the guilt, the guilt of killing her. I remembered when I was really little my mum would always say to me the shiniest star in the sky was a dead loved one looking down and watching over me. I looked up and imagined one of them being Kate, being my best friend. I hoped more than anything that she understood what I done, and that I couldn’t control it. I never got to say bye, things went so quick. I remember having to dump her body and then the papers saying it was an animal attack. I ran from then on. Everyone believes I haven’t been home due to pain of losing my best friend little did they know I’m the reason she’s dead.

I spent the rest of my night working on the house, you see being what I was I didn’t need much sleep. I rarely slept. Not because I couldn’t, just because I didn’t need to. I tried to make the house liveable. The place was a mess, I touched one wall and the whole thing caved in. I sighed giving up. I had never been that good at DIY. I sat down finally giving up only for the whole place to come crashing down seconds later.

I stood up dusting myself off. Blood covered me head to toe, only for a change the blood belonged to me and not some innocent human being. I pulled out bits off glass out of my skin, wincing as it tore even more flesh. The pain was only short lived as I watched my body heal itself slowly. I sat there no motivation to move. I knew I had to find somewhere to live again. I spent most of my human life trying to find a place to fit in and when I finally did my place was taken from me and now I’ve been left trying to find myself again. I was chucked into a world with no mercy. Bad things were thrown at me daily and I just had to wait on the next thing happening.

I spent the rest of the night and well morning searching for a place to stay, furthest away from human life as I could possibly get. I just needed shelter I didn’t care what condition it was in I just needed somewhere to call my own. Within a blink of an eye she appeared. “What do you want?” I snarled at her as I felt my fangs pierce through my gums. “Don’t be a silly boy you know you don’t have the strength to take me on. Look at you! You’re weak!” She laughed bitterly as she pushed my chest nearly knocking me over. Least I had changed my clothes; she would have laughed even more if she saw me wearing the clothes stained with my own blood. “What do you want?” I glared at her trying to not let her get to me too much even though my blood boiled every time I laid eyes on her. “I’ve been looking for you.” She smiled at me like I was some sort of play toy. “I have someone you’d like to see.” She stated as she started walking waggling her finger trying to get me to follow. I stayed put; I didn’t want to play her silly games.
