Instinct

Chapter 7

I spent all night watching Eden sleep. Wolf hasn't come back yet but that doesn't matter he should be back soon. Eden is getting ready for school and me? Well I'm just going to walk there and come back home. I don't want an idiot to get me in trouble, do I? I don't want an idiot that's obsessed with fame and money to provoke me otherwise I might rip their crotch off. I smirk, maybe I should try that to some poor drunkard. I lick my lips, I can almost feel the sensation and relief. I need to find a way to quench my blood thirst in a way that wouldn't cause me any problems.

"Wolf, you ready?" Eden's soft voice snaps me out of my thoughts, I nod and we leave. As we walk in these dodgy roads I can't help but glance at Eden's feminine features.

"Have you ever felt the need to kill someone who's really annoying you or is just a bother in general?" I ask, Eden giggles

"I'm sure you don't really want to kill anyone. Well I haven't at least. I haven't really felt that urge. But I have been annoyed and a bit frustrated at times at people when they don't clean up after themselves. But sometimes its better if you push that thought to the back of your head and resist the temptations." So cute.. So innocent.. So pure..

"But what if you can't, how would you try preventing that murder?" he poses his index finger on his chin and stays silent for a while, 'breathing' he replies. Breathing? Breathing.. but everyone breathes.. how would that help,

"You take deep breaths you dummy. Oh I know if that doesn't help ping your wrist with an elastic band." I raise an eyebrow, an elastic band? He hands me one and I wear it on my right wrist the same way Eden wears three on his left wrist. I smile and fiddle with the elastic band, no one's ever given me a gift of any sorts.

"Thanks." I murmur under my breath softly and cough. Eden looks at me worriedly but I reply quickly with I'm fine before he can even ask whether or not I'm fine.

"Are you going to come to school or go straight home?" Eden asks, damn it's as if he's a mind reader, 'home' I reply blandly. The disappointment is evident on his face but is quickly replaced with a playful pout, "Then I expect you to come and pick me up." He shifts his head to the side in attempt to hide his blush,

"What am I? your boyfriend or something." I laugh, his cheeks redden even more. He punches my shoulder try to quieten down my howls but I laugh louder. "Anyway sure why not? What time again?"

"You don't have to. I was just joking." I ruffle his hair, "I know I don't have to. But I want to. Now... what time does the hellhole end?"

"3:20" he mumbles, we reach the school gates and I wave him off. Now let's see how much ripping off someone's crotch hurts. I smirk and walk back into my dull part of town.

I love how there are two parts of this cursed town. One for the richer or more fortunate families, the other for the poorer less fortunate people like me. The second part of town is where no one wants to be. But if you are born there your fate is almost sealed and it as if you are fated to die in that section. The police take advantage of the people in this area. But they also haul of a random guy occasionally to make it seem as if they are actually doing the jobs. All they do is spit at the men, fight the dealers, mess with the prostitutes, rape innocent poorer mothers, ladies or even children. I remember clearly all of their faces. Every one of them down to the last detail. I will forever despise them and their lack of morals. I remember everything about my past. But it's not necessary therefore I won't reveal anything of my origins or family or background or that stuff.

I look around the grey streets for my next victim. I smirk as I see a man leaning on the dirtied wall in his police uniform. What perfect timing, I stumble towards him and 'accidently' fall into him.

"Why you lil' shi-" I cough interrupting him and apologize, he spits at my grey stained shirt and kicks me to the floor. I fake a groan of pain. A crowd of adults, children, teens and elders gather around. They cringe as they watch the shitty police officer straddle my torso and beat me senseless. His punches eventually become sluggish and the curses he was spitting dies down to breathless pants,

"That all ya got?" I smirk and quickly switch our positions so that I'm the one who's straddling his torso and holding his arms down. I trace my dagger down his torso only so hard that a thin line of scarlet comes to the surface of his grey skin that's a couple shades darker than Eden's. I leer, "Do you know my name?" I hold the blade where his crotch is, the officer shakes his head rapidly side to side, "well officer," I spit with venom lacing my words, "In this part of town I go by the name of red. So help me out a little with painting the dull streets of this sector red. What do 'ya say?" he doesn't reply instead tears stream down his face and I take it as a sign to continue even though I know that he knows he's going to die by my hand. I lick my lips and sever his wang in one go, I laugh as his screams fill the once quiet road, "Let's serve this as example to those who think they are better than me." Everyone nods and walks off continuing whatever they were planning to do. Saliva is flowing out of the police's plump lips and he lays there limp, "You're too loud." I complain. Another smile dances across my fine lips as I cut off his tongue, "There you go, I fixed it." I kick his head and walk off in the direction of my small house. I wonder if Wolf came back.

I walk up the rusty creaky metal stairs to meet a sleeping Wolf by the doorstep. I whistle and he darts up, he barks and I chuckle, "let's go in."
