Instinct

Chapter - 1

There was once a boy named Aiden. He lived with his family. They were all happy until one day, a murderer came to their house. It was night and they were getting ready for bed until his father heard something from downstairs. He tried to look down but the lights were off.

"Hey, both of you hide. I heard something downstairs."

"Okay but be careful."

"I will."

His father went downstairs he turned on the lights then the murderer attacked him. He was stabbed in the back. As his wife heard his scream she immediately left her son alone and went to his aid. There she saw the murderer standing besides her husband's corpse. The murderer pointed a knife to her.

"Give me all your money and I will leave you."

She was stunned and doesn't know what to do. His husband desperately tried to talk.

"DON'T GIVE HIM THE MONEY!"

"BUT YOU'RE GOING TO DIE IF I DON'T!"

"DON'T MIND ME! JUST TAKE IT ALL AND LEAVE."

She rushed upstairs and took everything and her son. The murderer tried to follow them but her husband intercepted him.

"I won't let you pass!"

"You are annoying!"

Then the murderer stabbed him in his chest. By the time he reached the top, they were nowhere to be found.

"WHERE ARE THEY?!"

As they both ran away her son said.

"Mommy? Where's daddy?"

She shed tears when she heard what her son said. She couldn't bear the pain. She took him to his aunt and left.

"MOMMY WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"

"I'm just gonna go somewhere. I'll be back okay? But for now just be good okay?"

"Okay mommy."

He went to his aunt's house and anxiously waited for his mother that never came back. The next day he goes to his house and saw both of his parents lying down. He was shocked and started crying. He couldn"t bear the pain. So he walked near them trying to wake them up but they were already dead.

"Mommy? Daddy? Please wake up. I'm here. Mommy? Daddy? Please."

He kept repeating what he said unable to accept the truth. Hurt by what he saw he said to himself crying.

"Heh. They both loved each other so they died. I won't make the same mistake they did. Mommy daddy I love you but I will only use my instincts from now on. I will never let my emotions surface."

7 years later he was at highschool. He was still scarred of what happened. He was haunted by the image of his parents lying down dead. He goes to school only to study. He never talked to anyone. He never smiled laughed or showed any emotions. He just sits there and listen. After school he was tasked to clean up the room. After completing his task. He goes home. But suddenly he heard someone speaking. It was late out so nobody must be at school at this hour. He didn't mind that voice until he heard a scream.

"HELP!"

It was from a girl. His instinct told him not to go so he just walked away. As he walks down the stairs he saw the girl looking for help. He was chased by a guy who have a knife in his hand.

"Hey you! Get out of here if you don't want to get hurt." Said the guy.

"What if I don't. What would you do?"

Angered by Aiden's reply. He immediately tried to attack him yet Aiden caught his hand. He tried to break it but the guy begged him.

"Please don't I'm sorry."

"Hmph. Weakling."

As lets go. The guy quickly grabs his knife and ran towards the girl. He remembered his mother and father lying down. He suddenly kicked the guy away from the girl. There he fell down to the stairs. Aiden picks up his knife.

"How pathetic are you? Begging for me then tries to kill an innocent girl? I can't even look at you. You make me sick."

"I-i'm sorry. Please don't kill me.

"Why would I? In fact you're just a waste of time."

Aiden threw the guy's knife and walked away. Before he could leave the girl yelled.

"HEY MISTER!"

"What?"

"Thank you for saving me."

"I didn't save you. I saved myself."

"(Wow you're harsh.)"

"Well if you don't have anything more to say, I'm going."

"What's your name?"

"Aiden."

"O-oh. My name is Louise."

He walks away. He goes out to the school and went home. He was lying on his bed remembering what happened.
