The Devils Angel

8th Chapter:

'They're just obstacles, we're better than than. We have each other, nothing can go wrong.'

After the kill I did in front Ella, I got scared. At first I was happy when she still wanted to see me but when I got home. The fear went creeping in. What if she changed her mind and got scared of me? What if she slowly drifted away? I can't have that. It's the first time I've felt so attached to someone and the mere thought that she will hate me or slip away brings this strong feeling I haven't felt for a very long while...

That's when I decided to give her time to think. Maybe she would not want to see me. Maybe she needs time away to think? Instead of going to her place, I went directly at school. It was the first time I went to school feeling down. I always love going to school and getting to class but this day was different. Ella wasn't in her first class, so I decided to wait in the lockers for her.. when I collided with someone. I look down and saw her. She looked up at me and then her eyes suddenly welled up as she cried into my chest.

'Why didn't you came to my place? Do you hate me? Are you mad at me?' She cried. My heart clenched. Mad at her? How can I ever be mad at her?

'I-- I'm so sorry Ella. It's just that I thought that.. maybe you'd like some space after what you saw last night and--' I was stammering and I cant seem to fine the right words to say.

'Then you thought wrong! I waited for you this morning.. I waited for you. I know you don't want to tell me anything. But please dont leave me....' she pleaded while clutching into me tightly. My heart soared at her words. She doesn't hate me! And I've been thinking wrong! I feel so relieved and happy.

'Please stop crying..' I said as I felt the wetness on my chest. I forgot she was still crying. She nodded and pulled away from me.. dammit! Me and my big mouth! I dont want her to cry but I dont like it when she pulled away from me, and creating some distance between us. She wiped her tears using the back of her hand and looked up to me. Her glassy eyes made her look even more beautiful.. but its all red and puffy and I caused it.

'Im sorry..' I breathed as I look at her. She shook her head and gave me a reassuring smile that knocked the breath out of me.

'Its okey.. just.. just dont leave me again okey?' She looked straight into me.. Her eyes demanding an answer.

'Okey.. I promise.'

We went back to normal after that, but there are times when I would caught her looking at me. Her bright light green eyes looking at me with so much intensity, like she wants so decipher me and open me bare. But when our eyes meet, she would mask it and smile at me.

'Breaking News!' Ella and I are at her living room when a news report came. My head snapped at the television while Ella is feeding Emily.

'The famous serial killer strikes again! A mutilated body is found this morning.. but  it's missing its upper body. The Victim is Hanson Gerero, a 45 years old man..' smiling to myself I looked at Ella and saw her stiffened like a board.

' Ella?' She looked at me and smiled, but it didn't reached her pretty eyes which irked me. It's a Saturday morning and she knows I've just killed the man last night. She didnt pry me off answers or anything about it. She is patiently waiting for my story that I'm not sure I'm ready to tell her.

After what happend, after killing a guy infront of her. I have been making up to her, to make her forget the gruesome thing. She still wakes up with nightmares and I hear her scream everynight..
I have been living in her place. She cleaned up her room for me. Mom and Dad was okey with it as long as I bring them food.
