[✔] Unknown (boyxboy werewolf)

(M) Chapter 7. Monster

_present time_

~Intro music~

The smell of rust from the blood lingers... The texture of it that was left on his hands had dried. It was just a simple 'are you okay?' that was asked by the nurse. But she was at the wrong place and time. He can't help it. Now his hands are shaking looking down at the pile of nothing on the floor. The scattered bones... and blood...

~The secret side of me, I never let you see, I keep it caged, But I can't control it, So stay away from me, The beast is ugly, I feel the rage, And I just can't hold it~

He wanted to stop but he only kept on feeding on her flesh. He wanted to run away but his feet only dragged him closer to her. He wanted to scream but he only laughed. He wanted to cry but he only smiled. He can't control it. The monster is within him...

~It's scratching on the walls, In the closet, in the halls, It comes awake, And I can't control it, Hiding under the bed, In my body, in my head, Why won't somebody come and save me from this? Make it end!~

There's only one sane thought left inside of him. And he follows that very thought blindly. Though he had lost control of himself completely, his heart took him to his one and only comfort zone that was left. As he reaches the familiar green-painted house, he climbs the wall, unconsciously, like a spider, which could not be possibly done by any human being, but is he even human now? He wonders...

~I feel it deep within, It's just beneath the skin, I must confess that I feel like a monster, I hate what I've become, The nightmare's just begun, I must confess that I feel like a monster, I, I feel like a monster, I, I feel like a monster~

He reaches the familiar room, takes in the familiar scents of lavender that fills the air and smiles a little at how comforting he is feeling right now. He looks at the person who is sleeping soundly on the bed with his fair brown hair all messed up on the pillow while his heavy breathing filled the silence of the room, of the house... It's only in that moment, that now, Micah can bring himself to cry the tears that had been locked up behind his eyes for quite some time.

~My secret side I keep, Hid under lock and key, I keep it caged, But I can't control it, Cause if I let him out, He'll tear me up, And break me down, Why won't somebody come and save me from this? Make it end!~

And as he sobs, the sleeping man on the bed is awake by the sound. Dominic enters a panic state at the sight of the stranger who is staring down on him before he could make out that the one standing there is his best friend. "Jesus! Micah?! What are you doing here?" Dominic asked as he gets up to a sit on his bed. He is still half-asleep and his sight is quite blurry that he wonders if he is only dreaming. The lighting of the room does not help either. He can only see everything in black and blue with the little help of the moonlight outside.

~I feel it deep within, It's just beneath the skin, I must confess that I feel like a monster, I hate what I've become, The nightmare's just begun, I must confess that I feel like a monster~

When his sight is clear, he looks up at the sobbing man and gasps in horror at a realization. Micah's eyes... they're red... they are glowing red in color. Dominic wanted to scream in terror but nothing can come out from his mouth. And with the terror portrayed on his face, it just sends signals to Micah that it's getting dangerous. He wouldn't want Dominic to be afraid of him. It was not his intention to show him this side of his. But it's too late now.

~I feel it deep within, It's just beneath the skin, I must confess that I feel like a monster, I, I feel like a monster, I, I feel like a monster~

As fast as lightning, he eases in closer to Dominic and places his bloodied palm on Dominic's lips to cover it from letting out any single sound. His glowing red eyes look deep into Dominic's eyes to threaten him to keep quiet. And Dominic could not believe his eyes at the inhuman speed of Micah's movement. He shudders in fear. He absolutely has no idea what would become of him.

~It's hiding in the dark, It's teeth are razor sharp, There's no escape for me, It wants my soul, It wants my heart~

"I'm hungry..." Micah said to him, in a distorted kind of voice. It sends shivers down Dominic's spine. The sound of his voice and the words he spoke, it was as if he is indicating that Dominic himself is the only kind of food available for Micah. Then, a smile purses on Micah's lips as he notices the fear in Dominic... It was as if he is enjoying inflicting fear in others.

~No one can hear me scream, Maybe it's just a dream, Or maybe it's inside of me, Stop this monster!~

He then opens his mouth slightly and Dominic quivers in fear at the sight of Micah's teeth growing longer... and sharper... "HMMmmmph!!" He wanted to scream but that was all the sound he can produce as his lips are tight shut with Micah's strong palm pressing against it.

~I feel it deep within, It's just beneath the skin, I must confess that I feel like a monster, I hate what I've become, The nightmare's just begun, I must confess that I feel like a monster~

Next, he feels Micah's breathing at the skin of his neck. He is smelling it... Then he runs his long and slimy tongue along the line of Dominic's neck. Dominic closes his eyes as he feels a sharp pain piercing his skin. But the pain was only brief... and it puzzles him because he is expecting a much greater pain. When he opens his eyes, he saw that Micah is looking at him, no longer with the red glowing eyes. But back to his soft brown pair of eyes...and they are watery. Micah is sobbing as he looks at him... "I'm sorry..." he said. He then lifts up his palm from pressing down on Dominic's lips.

~I feel it deep within, It's just beneath the skin, I must confess that I feel like a monster, I'm gonna lose control, Here's something radical, I must confess that I feel like a monster~

Dominic only quivers in fear, unsure of what to do now. He really had no idea what his best friend had become. He then heard Micah growling... it was as if he is fighting against something but failing miserably. And Micah's eyes... it's turning back to the glowing red... Before Dominic could let out a scream, with an inhuman speed, Micah rushes forward and slams Dominic's head to the bedpost. There's a quick rush of pain and dizziness surmounting him before the world goes pitch black for him...

~I, I feel like a monster, I, I feel like a monster, I, I feel like a monster, I, I feel like a monster~

With no sign of guilt, Micah gets up from the bed, looking down on the unconscious young man. And then, straightening his wrinkled clothes, he walks over to the bathroom and stares at his reflection in the mirror. A thought conjures up in his mind and an evil smile pursed on his lips...
