Debt Fulfilled

           

Once upon a time there was a boy, his family didn't love him. The people of his village hated him. He was found dead the morning before his birthday, his body swayed in the warm summer breeze. In the year 1785 A man was killed in cold blood. No one know who the killer was till this day. Legend has it that he is still alive somewhere out in the world he is killing more people. The only one to survive are the people they called crazy. They claimed to see red and yellow eyes in the darkness before someone died. They had investigated everyone who claimed such things. Hey ruled them all as crazy sending them to therapy. Other soon started to claim seeing these eyes. They claim to see them behind hoses and in bushes.

Later on, little pools of blood would be found behind warehouses. Claw mark would be litter all over the place. They didn't know what I was. They assumed it was a wild animal. They never went to investigate it.

This boy had it all, no one expected him to be the behind all the attacks. He look innocent, he was nowhere innocent. The deal he made let him do what he wanted. He wanted revenge. He want to rid his village of its vile way of living. Making the poor suffer and the rich to indulge in any and all luxuries. His first victim was a man who own all the bank in his village. He killed him, he didn't ever regret it. The man used his power in wicked ways. Causing people to fall in debt and never being able to get out of it.

When the people noticed he was dead, they didn't care, they though he died of old age. When they found his will they were shocked and amaze. The will said that everyone who was in debt where now free of it. They were once happy again. They all could start over again. They had be freed and promised they would never go in to debt again.

"So what do I do, what do I do when no one care. What do I do when I don't care? What do I do when life's unfair? Do I end it all, or just stumble and fall. What do I do when it . . . stops working? They are the only thing keeping me a float. Do I take them or leave them be. Will I ever be free? I can't take it anymore all the writing on the door. It calls me, my little friend isn't helping me anymore. It isn't working like it used to. The cut stay forever. They lied when they said time heals all wounds. Time only made mine worst. I need something to help me, I need it to help me in a flash." The boy talked to himself, he only wanted a friend. He didn't know how people went on their day living with their loved ones. He wanted that, he needed that, he was going to take it by force. He used his power for evil once again. He tore families apart and broke up couples. Many people suffered until he came to his senses. He figure, why break them, when you can kill them.

As the year went on the boy became more power hunger. He started to attack anyone he crossed paths with. He took control of children, forcing them self to kill their parents. Of course parents saw this as an opportunity to teach their children how to behave. They would make him appear as a demon who will attack little kids who disobeyed their parents. The only case where it happen was not that long ago. The kid's father told him the very same story his father told him. Of course the kid knew it was only a tall tale. That was until the family was found day only 5 day after the incident. The boy, no, the beast chose to attack a high schooler. It manipulated her into to believing he could help her. He made her lure a bully of hers in to the woods. Getting both the girl and a boy who seem to bullied her killed. Little did this demon know, his debt has been fulfilled.

He cough. Blood filled his mouth. His throat closed. With a shaky gasp, blood dripped into his lungs. Violent coughs filled the room. He feel to his knees. His hands fell flat on the floor. His arms shacking with exhaustion from holding his body up. Blood spilled from his mouth

Coughs echoed in the room. Taunting him, mocking him for something he can't have. "Why now, why here." His voice was small and shaky. The room dark and empty. He fell to the floor face first in a pool of dark rich blood. Gasps and heaves filled the room. He's chocking on his own blood. His arm reaching out for something. Something he couldn't have. Nothing was in front of him.

Footsteps filled the room. A white ord floated over the boy's body. It float up. The footsteps got closer. A scaly hand reached forward. It grad the ord. With is claws wrapped around the ord, it started to crack. "I told you boy." The ord broke. "My debts get paid on time." the pieces fell to the floor evaporating on the way down.

It walked away. Its footsteps faded till it couldn't be heard any more. With a last gasp of air he was gone. He was done. The payment had been meet. His chest sunk in. he sank in the floor. It swallowed him whole taking him further down to the core of the earth. A little note was left. It laid in a pool of blood

Debt has been fulfilled.
