The Psychopath (American horror story fanfiction)

Chapter 10:

Third Person POV:

Nathan walked through the hallway at school before being pulled into the boy's bathroom.

"Noreen! What are you doing in the boy's bathroom?!" Nathan shrieks. Noreen shushes him.

"Be quiet! I need to talk to you about you-know-who!" She says sharply.

"Oh, what about?" Nathan asks.

"I need you to become best friends with Tate." She states, expecting an answer.

"What?" Nathan asks, not sure that he heard her correctly.

"You know what I said."

"Fine, I'll try my best." Nathan says.

"You better!" Noreen says, patting him on the back and exiting the bathroom.

She sees Cassie walking down the hallway.

"Hey Noreen!" She exclaims happily.

"Hey Cass. Look, you need to stay away from Tate. He's bad news." Noreen says.

Cassie's expression of happiness turns into anger.

"No, Tate is a good guy. I know he is, why can't you accept him?!" Cassie sounds extremely irritated that Noreen was trying to tell her that Tate is bad.

"You just say that because you like him!"

Cassie storms off, little did either of them know that Tate was watching the entire conversation.

.......

Nathan notices Tate walking in the hall, remembering that he was supposed to become his friend.

"Hey Nathan." Tate greets Nathan as he approaches.

"Hi Tate, wanna come to my house after school to study for the social studies test on Friday?" Nathan asks.

Tate grins, "I'd love to!" Tate exclaims. "Sorry, it's just-I've never really had a friend before." He says awkwardly. Great, now Nathan was feeling bad for suspecting him earlier.

Nathan gives him a small smile. "See you later!" He says and runs off to find Noreen.

......

Nathan spots Noreen walking out of her math class and runs up to her. He pulls her into the janitor's closet.

"What the heck Nate!" She screeches slapping his hand away.

"Look, Tate is perfectly normal. The guy just wants to be our friend." He says.

"Um-no. He is probably a murderer! The last time I thought someone was a murderer Ana and Ava ended up dead. It's kind of like I have a gaydar for murder." Noreen states, she kinda reminds him of Santana from Glee. Except he hates that show.

"Ana and Ava aren't dead. It's flu season, they're probably just sick." Nathan says. "Okay, well Tate is coming over to my house after school so I'll let you know if anything happens."

.....

Nathan unlocks the door to his house and welcomes Tate inside. Tate looks around, astounded.

"Woah." Tate says.

"Let's go to my room." Nathan says.

The pair walks up the stairs to Nathan's room. "Cool room." Tate remarks upon entering the room.

"Look, I know I asked you to come so we could study but would you rather play video games?" Nathan asks, he had no intention of studying.

"Sure." Tate says. Nathan picks a game with a lot of blood and gore. He wanted to see if Tate would react.

In the middle of the game Tate starts talking a bit.

"Do you ever have weird fantasies?" Tate asks.

"Fantasies?" Nathan asks, very confused.

"You know, like I prepare for the noble war." Tate begins. "Where I kill people I like. Where some of them beg for their life, but I don't feel sad. I don't feel anything." Nathan was extremely frightened at what Tate was saying.

"It's a filthy world we live in, Nathan. It's a filthy, goddamn, helpless world. Where honestly, I feel like I'm helping to take them away. I'm helping to take them somewhere clean and kind." Tate did have a point, except for being a total psychopath.

"There's something about all that blood, man. I drown in it. The indians believed that blood holds all the bad spirits. Once a month in ceremonies, they would cut themselves to let all the bad spirits go free. There's something smart about that. Very smart. I like that. You think I'm crazy?" Tate asks. He was crazy, but Nathan wasn't gonna say that!

"No." Nathan shakes his head. "I think you're creative."

"I gotta go, my mother's probably worried about me, right?" Tate says, getting up and stretching. "But thanks for inviting me over."

"No problem." Nathan says, closing the door behind Tate. He really was a psychopath. Noreen is always right.

A/N: most of that scene was from American Horror Story Murder House, Episode 1, if you didn't already know.
