It's Okay to be Different

23

Today is the day. The day that I kill Mitchell Grassi. Alex decided that we would go earlier than planned because he couldn't wait to see Mitch die.

I make sure to dress in all black. Because it makes me look mysterious and dangerous. Also because Alex says I look sexy in all black. I try my best to look good for him. I want to make him happy.

I walk down to the living room. There is an ocean of people in the living room. All of them look... hungry? They're kind of scary to be honest.

I smell over a hundred vampires in the room. Why are there this many people here? I spot Alex in the crowd and make my way towards him, pushing people aside on my way.

"Alex what are all of these people here for?" I ask him once I get his attention.

"They're back-up Scotty. If Mitch pulls any moves we want to make sure we won't be cornered. We most likely won't need them. We'll just kill him and be on our way." He says and I smile at him.

"Damn, you're so smart." I praise him and he kisses me softly for a moment. He pulls away and clears his throat loudly.

The whole room goes silent.

"Thank you. We'll be leaving in about 15 minutes. You know your jobs. Don't fight unless I tell you to. We don't know how many people he has with him. I wouldn't want to lose any of you." 'I couldn't give two shits about any of you to be honest.' I hear him think in his head. Well damn. He smirks at me and a blush rises to my cheeks.

Before I realize it, we're making our way out of Alex's house and up Mitch's front yard. I'm at the front of the pack with Alex and Esther. I'm ready to kill.

Alex throws the front door to the familiar home open and I immediately see Mitch and only... 33 other people? How dumb do you have to be to only bring 33 people? He knew the size of the group we were bringing.

Alex must be thinking the same thing because I see a small smirk playing on the edge of his lips. I can't help but smile a little.

My smile instantly falls when I take a whiff of the air.

Every single person in this room is top 5 globally.

Shit.

"Mitchell." Alex says. His smile has fell too.

"Alex." Mitch replies.

"I see you've brought friends." Alex's eyes dart around to the people in the room. He seems... scared?

"I see you've brought some friends of your own too." Mitch doesn't look scared. He should be. He doesn't know what's coming his way.

"That's beside the point. Do you know why I'm here Mitchell?"

"Of course I do." He replies smugly. "You want him-" He points at me. "To kill me. But he's not going to do that. Right Scotty?"

It's taking everything in me not to snap his neck right now. That cocky little bitch.

All Alex has to do is say the words and I'll do it. I'll kill him. Alex places a comforting hand on my shoulder. I feel my eyes change at the touch. I shrug his hand off my shoulder and keep my eyes focused on Mitch. You never take your eyes off your prey.

Mitch's eyes lock with mine and for a moment, my thought process falters. Why do I want to kill him?

'You don't Scott. Alex is forcing you to believe that.' I hear his voice in my head and I almost snap.

"STOP THAT!" I roar and cover my ears with my hands, squeezing my eyes shut.

'Scott, just ask yourself : Why are you doing this? Why do you want to do this?'

"I'LL KILL YOU! STOP MANIPULATING ME!" I hurl Mitch all the way across the room. He hits the wall hard before toppling to the floor. I throw myself in top of him, wrapping my hands around his throat. I hear Kirstie scream behind me and instantly I hear multiple calming coaxings towards her.

Mitch looks completely relaxed for my hands to be around his throat. He just stares me right in my eyes. There's no panic, no fear. Just... him. His beautiful self.

'You don't want this Scott.'

I lift him by his throat until my arm is extended above my head. "Get out of my head, Grassi!" I growl and tighten my grip, lifting him higher. He chokes out a small cry of pain and I smirk. "Not so strong now, are you?" He just whimpers, unable to get his words out. I tighten my grip even more and here a few cracks. He cries out in pain.

'Scott please! This isn't you! Find yourself. You're hurting me, Scott. I love you. Don't hurt me.'

My grip falters once I hear 'I love you.' I love you too Mitch. 'I'm sorry Mitchie. Oh my God Im so sorry.' I loosen my grip and lower him to the floor.

'This is really you?' He aks me and looks into my eyes with hope. Without changing my facial expression, I answer with a simple yes. 'Shall we show Alex who the fuck he's dealing with here?' I nod my head.

'Absolutely.'

"SCOTT WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? KILL HIM!' Alex bellows behind me. I smirk at Alex before everything goes crazy.

Using my speed, I turn around and grab Alex by the throat, flipping him over my shoulder and making him crash into the living room table, shattering it. He groans in pain as I dig my knees into his chest. I hear a few loud snaps as I apply more pressure and he screams.

As soon as the scream escapes his lips, I feel three pairs of hands grab me roughly. I promptly activate one of the abilities that Mitch and I discovered. It makes my skin extremely scalding. The owners of the hands howl and pull away and Alex writhes beneath me wailing in pain. He's feeling it from my hands and legs. He attempts to push me off of him but I just bear more of my weight on him.

Suddenly, my vision goes black. The scene in front of me is rapidly transformed into a serene forest. There is a clear waterful in my view and beautiful animals. The most majestic birds and the cutest rabbits. The Aurora Borealis can be seen in the night sky. Where am I?

I shriek as I'm tossed across the room. I never felt any hands grab me. Who threw me?

I see Esther with an evil smirk plastered on her face and her bright blue warlock eyes come into play. "Turning on your own team. What a sin."

In a flash, Alex is on top of me with a grip around my throat tighter than I ever had on Mitch. I can feel tendons and bones snapping inside of me but I don't make any sound. I can't let him know that he's hurting me. I just grin devilishly at him. He growls and lifts me up by my neck.

"You've betrayed me again. There's no more chances here. Now is the time that you die." He snarls.

'I can't die. I don't want to die! I CAN'T DIE! I HAVE TO MAKE HIM FEEL PAIN!' I start glancing around at the floor for anything I can hurt him with. 'Pain, pain, pain.' Then finally I look at his eyes again. 'Pain.' And he instantly drops me as he falls to his knees screeching. I never take my eyes off of him. I'm guessing I'm the one that's doing this. He lets out another bloodcurling scream. (A/N: Cheesy Twilight reference. Kill me.)

Mitch leaps on top of Alex taking his face in his hands. He looks at me and I stop doing whatever I'm doing.

"You fucked with so many people... so many lives... so many families. We don't deserve to die..." He chuckles. "You do." And in one swift movement...

Mitch rips his head off.
