The Monster Inside Me

Chapter 6: Bloody Hearts

((This chapter contains morbid and more mature content!
I will add "--" for once it starts and when it's over!! ))

It had been an hour since since Jayn had went to bed.
I was starving, so I decided to sneak out of Jayn's window. I jumped down, landing with a thud as the gravel crunched beneath my feet.
I started walking, keeping my claws hidden. My eyes flickered around before I scaled the tallest building near me. I went to the edge, looking down on the semi-busy city. Lights glared at me from below.
"So this is what it's like to be free..." I murmured before running across the rooftops-- jumping in between them.
"I feel so free!" I cried from the rooftops, smiling up at the stars.
"I love the sky... It's been so long since I've seen it..." I murmured before looking down.

-----------------------------

There were two men and a woman cowering from them. I jumped down, landing in the shadows.
The lady shrieked, eyes huge as she stared at me.
I glared at the two men, who smirked at me.
They came towards me, letting the woman run away. One grabbed the collar of my shirt-- which Jayn had given me earlier-- and yanked me forward.
"Oh look. It's a pretty little boy. Maybe we should have some fun?" The man said slyly, one of his hands on my waist. I scowled and kicked him away-- or tried to. He pinned me against the wall, sliding his hand down and along my thigh. I growled at him, my body shaking from anger. I clawed at him with my claws and fingernails, but didn't hit any skin. The other male came up and started running a hand up my shirt. I cut open that man's arm, who hissed in pain and moved away.
"Feisty..." He grumbled, holding his wrist weakly.
The other male smirked and kissed me, my eyes widening. I shoved my claws into his stomach-- since he was trying to unzip my pants.
He let go of me and stumbled away, holding his stomach weakly.
I was breathing heavily, my heart racing from fear. I glared at the other male, who ran off before I could attack him. I lunged at the first male, who was still crippled over and had tears running down his face.
I clawed at his eyes and face, pinning him down and killing him slowly for what he did to me.
I dragged the limp body into the shadows and started eating hungrily-- ripping out the heart first and sucking most of the blood out before eating it. Next I cut open his stomach and went for the liver, eating that in one bite.

-----------------------------

I headed back home, making sure to take a detour in order to clean off.
I was climbing back in the window when I heard Jayn said," Where did you go?"
I jumped, falling on my face when I fell onto the floor.
"I-I..." I started to make an excuse, but yet again, I couldn't think of one. I just looked up at him weakly from the floor.
"Seker, where did you go?"
"I... I went out on a walk..." I mumbled, softly.
"For 3 hours?" Jayn frowned," I'm not an idiot, you know. Tell me what happened."
"I wanted to look at the sky..." That wasn't a lie," And then I... I got groped by two men..."
"Seker! That's awful!" His eyes were huge.
"I'm fine..." I mumbled weakly," They didn't touch me in any of /those/ places... It scared me..."
"How did you get away?"
I revealed my claws," These..."
"Are your claws for your self defense?"
"No... I... I use them to eat..."
"What do you eat?"
"P-People..." I mumbled, not loud enough for him to hear.
"What?"
"People... " I mumbled again.
"W-Wait! Really?!" He exclaimed.
"Shh!" I quickly said," We don't want to wake up your mom..."
"Okay, okay, so let me get this straight... You're a cannibal?!" He whisper screamed at me.
"Yeah..." I mumbled weakly.
"That's crazy!"
"It's not really..."
"Why are you a cannibal?"
"My dad did experiments on me... He tried to turn me into a government weapon. "
"Oh... That's awful..."
"Mm..." I mumbled before sitting up and looking at Jayn.
"I was coming to check on you when you left..." He murmured softly.
"O-Oh..." I mumbled weakly. Then I got up and crawled in bed-- even though I had been laid out on the floor because Jayn's scent was all over everything.
"Are you scared?" He asked softly, walking to the other side of the bed.
"A little..." I mumbled, and he crawled in bed with me. I stared at him in confusion.
"I'll be right here if you need me..." He said softly, smiling warmly at me.
I swallowed thickly, nodding. I quickly closed my eye, waiting for Jayn to fall asleep.
But, I was too exhausted to stay up any longer. I was out cold in less than a minute.

I will admit to the fact I dreamed about Jayn, but only because I was surrounded by his scent.
When I woke up, my arms were wrapped around Jayn loosely and his face was buried in my chest. I didn't know why at the time, but it made my heart race and my stomach queasy.
I swallowed thickly then closed my eye again.
Hopefully Jayn doesn't get in trouble... I thought, even though I already knew the answer.

Once I woke up again, Jayn was gone and I could hear Summer's voice outside," Jayn! What did I tell you?!"
"Mom, he was scared."
"Sure, sure, and my brain is made of oatmeal." She spat.
She was a lot more angry than the day before.
"Look, I was having a dream about that boy at school that I like, okay? And Seker just happened to be there instead of my usual pillow, alright?" Jayn sounded mad, but at the same time upset.
"Jayn, you can't sleep with a random boy... Especially not a stranger!"
"He's not a stranger. " Jayn spat back," He's Seker, and Seker wouldn't hurt a fly!"
"Oh really? Want to know what I heard on the news this morning?"
"What?" Jayn snapped.
"That a government scientist is looking for an escaped experiment. And guess who's picture popped up on the screen? Seker's. They were explaining how dangerous he was! He's a cannibal--"
"I know."
"You know?! " She sounded furious," And yet, you disobeyed me?!"
"Yes. Because Seker isn't going to hurt me. Look, I believe in Seker, alright? He's just a kid like me. He said that his father abused him and did experiments on him. Mom, think about that. "
Summer was quiet after that and Jayn came back into the bedroom, closing the door then laying down next to me again. I opened my eye and looked at him.
"Good morning, Seker." He murmured softly.
"G-Good morning, Jayn..." I mumbled, slightly embarrassed on how close our faces were.

An hour later...
"Mom! Seker and I are going on a trip to the store!"
"Alright! Come back before dinner!"
"Sure thing!"
We walked outside, and I enjoyed not being cooped up in the house.
We walked side by side, his hands shoved in his pockets.
We had only been walking for 5 minutes when I noticed someone following us. I grabbed Jayn's arm and whispered," Someone is following us."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." I pulled him along, into an alleyway-- thinking it wasn't a dead end.
But, to our dismay, it was. By then we were trapped. I pushed Jayn behind me and growled at the three men. All of them were government FBI members, and they had tools to catch me. But I wasn't going to let them.
"Young man, step away from the government weapon. We won't let him hurt you. "
That made me mad right there.
My eyes narrowed and I felt myself slipping away to the anger.
I growled even louder, snarling at the men, taking a step back every time they would come closer.
We got backed into a corner.
I was literally spitting mad, hissing and growling at the men-- like a wild animal.
I was about to lunge before Jayn wrapped his arms around my waist," Seker, no! They'll just have more of a reason to catch you if you kill them!"
Jayn sounded like he was about to cry.
I ignored him and pulled his hands away before lunging at the nearest man. Suddenly I felt a tight, metal wire around my throat. It was one of the things they use on pound dogs. I growled and snapped, clawing at the wire to break it.
Jayn was watching in horror, not able to do anything.
The wire tightened and I was struggling for air.
My eyes were rolling back into my head until I heard Jayn say," LET HIM GO!"
But I didn't know what happened next, because I was out cold...
