chapter 13

TAEHYUNGS POV

"Anabelle, you should go." I looked at her to the lifeless body laying on the floor with visible holes from my inhumane behavior. The lump in my throat was traveling down, filling my esophagus with crap. It's the feeling that washes over before your doctor inserts a two-inch long needle into your skin. "You'll feel better in no time!" they say so energetically, as if it was so easy to lie to children. And many believe them but always tend to end up getting sick the week after. It's like they were trained to manipulate their patients in medical school. I pursed my lips, coming to the realization of why my doctors never seemed to like me. Unlike others, I saw behind the fake smile and sarcastic voice.

I prepared myself for the upcoming fearful look from her and took a step back to show I was in no shape to hurt Anabelle, as well. But for some reason, I didn't hear the sounds of her shoes taking off. I half-expected the words, "You're a fucking sicko." because honestly, what kind of person kills their own sister? I lay in bed at night questioning my actions everyday and so far, I've only thought of one answer. There simply isn't a human who is heartless enough to do what I do. Only a monster is capable, and a monster is what I am.

I looked up from the bloodstained ground to see that Anabelle and I were closer than I thought. I was going to take another step back when I felt warm fingers wrap around my back, drawing me into a tight hug. My mind fogged up for a second, maybe from the confusion building up. I knew exactly what Anabelle wanted to do. She wanted to help me escape my hell of a life, which was exactly what Alice wanted. Of course, she didn't succeed and here I am, maybe even worse from then. I pushed the thought away and twisted strands of her tangled hair with my crimson fingers. Her chin was neatly tucked on my shoulder and my own was resting on the top of her head. I closed my eyes, trying to enjoy the limited peaceful moments of my life. I realized what a mistake that was when I felt the ice cold touch of a gun on my bare skin. A shocking pain in my upper arm triggered a horse scream to escape my dry mouth. My body suddenly felt numb and I leaned on Anabelle, who decided to let me fall. Such great timing to get away from me, I thought. At that moment, I knew I had underestimated her.

In the world we live in, there are the predators and preys. All my life I was the hunter, taking advantage of the weak. But this time, I think I might be a goner.
