Truth or Dare Nightmare

Chapter 5~ Mercy for None

{Thing's POV}

My name is Jayce Kramer. I am eighteen years old... and I just killed someone.

My brown, messy hair hung in front of my face as I crept through the forest, stalking the kids who crowded beside their dying friend. I used my right hand to hold the hood that covered most of my face. My fingers tapped the hilt of my knife impatiently. Don't you idiots realize? Your friend is dead! I muffled a laugh as I thought this and rolled my turquoise eyes.

The girl with the glasses, I think her name is Hanna, held that other kid, Christina's head on her lap. I studied Christina's breathing, watching it gradually become slower. Chills ran up my spine as she took her last breath. Finally. A wide smile spread across my face.

Some might call me a serial killer, a murder. A demon. Well they are not wrong. I wouldn't disagree.

Quietly, I paced back and forth while waiting for the group to move out.

"We need to get out of here," stated one of the boys.

"You're right, Danny," agreed Hanna.
Oh. So his name is Danny. I noted.

They began to make their way back towards the trail. No. I can't let them leave now. Not after what they just witnessed! Plus... the fun has just begun. It would be a shame if they leave. I was only warming up when I slaughtered their sweet friend.

I knew I needed to act quickly, but how- I laughed out loud - Fear, of course.

I darted out in front of them and stopped, starring straight out at them. They were frozen in fear. Perfect. I couldn't help, but laugh.

"Hello," I began,"Leaving so soon?" I pulled back the hood of my cloak, revealing a demonic, half- smile. I frowned,"I'm so sorry, but I must finish what I've started. I can not let you go, I'm sure you know why," I held out my hand pointing the bloody dagger at Christina. I sighed, shaking my head.

"P-please let us go," pleaded Hanna. I moved lightning fast to be standing in front of her.

I tilted my head to the side,"Sweet Hanna," I gently brushed the back of my hand against her jaw,"My orders are very simple: Mercy for None," I took her blue glasses and turned them slowly between my fingers and placed them in her hand.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw a fist flying straight at my face. In less than half a second I had him pinned on the ground. "Danny, please," I said, slightly annoyed,"You're just making this harder than it has to be."

"You demon!" He yelled at me.

I laughed so hard I almost toppled to the ground,"You aren't wrong!" I saw the other girl lunge at me and pointed my knife to her chest,"Ah, you must be Aliyah. Christina mentioned you as she bled to death," I smiled when she scowled at me.

I stepped over Danny, who still was laying on the ground, to address the other boy. "And you are?" I asked him.

"M-me? Oh... uh... Carson," he said.

"Aww," I pouted my lips and pat his head to anger him,"Are you scared?" I jumped at him and he scratched me across the face, making me stagger backwards. "You asked for this!" I pounced, gripping him by the neck and pushed him to the floor. My hand flew up, ready to stab him, when I was yanked away and pinned to the ground by Danny.

"Oh you don't know when to stop? DO YOU!" I was easily able to push him off me and threw him into a tree. Guess I can't kill Carson right now. I jumped up and grabbed Hanna by the arm and stared sprinting. I know I am much faster and stronger than those... humans.

"You really are a demon. Like an actual one!" Hanna began as I pulled her along,"That's how you are capable of moving so fast and are so strong."

I sighed,"Sweetheart, you have no idea what I'm capable of."

My name is Jayce Kramer. I am eighteen years old... and I am a demon.
