The Horrors

The Start of it all

     It was that one night. That one night that changed the new life I had become accustomed to changed completely. It was that night I made the best decision of my life. It was that night I made the worst decision of my life.

    I roof hopping and I was trying to see if I wanted to kill anyone tonight. I wasn't assigned a kill, plus I wasn't really in the usual mood to kill. I was just jumping from roof to roof my knife in my pocket and my hood up. Then I heard it. A small child's cry. The sound and the true terror behind it was enough to almost make me trip...almost. I swore in my head and turned to the sound. I don't know why but I had the urge to check it out. I knew I had nothing better to do so i did what my gut wanted me to do. I began to jump closer and closer to the sound.

     I finally got to the roof closest to the sound. I looked down at the alley. My eyes immediately adjusting to the increased darkness. What I saw horrified me and I kill people for fun and satisfaction. A teen was holding a child..no a girl. I couldn't tell how old she was but she was really young. The teen had a knife and was carving into the girl's chest. I thought it was murder until I saw that the cuts weren't enough to kill just enough to bleed and cause pain. I decided I has seen enough and pulled out my knife and jumped down. The teen took one look at me and dropped the knife and kid and fled. I knew why but that wasn't my biggest concern. I picked up the girl. She was knocked out cold I guess from the pain. I looked at where the teenager was cutting and saw she had two intersecting lines on her chest right where her heart was. I had this feeling like I had to protect her and couldn't just leave her alone. Not like this, not while she had the potential to become like me, a Horror.

     I picked her up and glanced around the alley we were in. I saw some graffiti and one series of letters that stuck out to me. D.E.K.A. They were probably someones initials but the sounding nice. I looked at the child I held and tried it out. 

"Hi Deka, I'm Jeff." I said smiling my wicked carved smile. "We are going to have a lot of fun together."
