Instinct

Chapter 14

I watch their sprawled sleeping forms on the couch. Wolf looks up at me and I nod,

"I will stay by your sides, no matter where that may be, until the end. But please understand that everybody has their own reasons to fight and sometimes you have to settle it yourself otherwise there's no way forward. Other than that I have faith that you guys can handle without me for the two days and stay safe." I open the door and step outside letting the light 4am breeze slap me in the face,

"Don't worry we'll be fine; we're just worried about you. But sometimes we need that little bit of hope ya know. Anyways go for it and stay safe, we'll be looking forward to your arrival." Eden gets up and smiles at me which I return,

"Yeah, yeah, well I'm off." I wave and walk down the road with Wolf by my side. I smile and embrace the quietness of the roads, give it another couple hours and there will be a lot of commotion. Nobody is anticipating Autumn's return other than those crappy police.

Life. Emotions. Power. Money. Fate. And most importantly, Time. The six things that rule your life and can't change. The status you were born with and the date you will die. The emotions and empathy levels you have, your bonds with other people. Power, another thing you are born with but only fate makes it change along the lines of your life. Money another thing people appreciate even though it has no specific value, that crap makes everyone go crazy. Fate and time connect with each other, it was fate that my mother was going to die by my hand and when she did her time had stopped and my time as a murderer started.

The six things I despise possibly more than Autumn. Don't you ever think about why we even need this life? Heaven, Hell? Oh please that's just some story a loopy person made up. If there were truly a god in this world there would be no need for wars, hate, sadness and death. Poverty is something the almighty being created even if they didn't want to. The damned author of the story I narrate should really only be me, no one else. What gives them the right to write my life? It's my life I should do it as I please. I don't want it pre-planned, that's just a waste of time. And time is life, not money. Time is life. My story will come to an end when my time runs out. Time isn't something that can be bought with however much money. But...

Time can be played.

You just need to play it in a way that it falls in your trap. Like a Wolf and the sheep. I will gang up with all of the bastards that I hate, I will them to shreds with my claws. I will glare holes through their red flesh. I will be the one who will be killing all the love and hate in this world. I will end Autumn's life. I will end everything. I will be the last to die.

I won't lose this game of life.

I am the king on the chess board.

Everyone are my pawns.

I am the one who holds the power.

I am the king, queen, knight, bishop and tower in one form.

I am Wolf.

I am the mere human who will become the God of this world and finally end everything.

I will be the last one standing.

In the end I will be the one grinning over all the red corpses in this war.

I will be the sole survivor dancing in the darkness that has consumed me.

These moments I have alone in the darkness I was embraced with. The darkness that kept me warm all these years. These are the moments I treasure. No one in the darkness judges me simply because there's no one there.

I smirk to myself, Wolf gives me a weird look. "The worst part about being strong is that no one asks if you're okay." I mumble and wolf stays silent. In times when I embrace the loneliness the world presented me really makes me despise all its people. In these times I want to rip off their heads one by one and burn them in a large bonfire. In these times I just want to rip my heart out and give it to them in exchange for a person I can call a friend. But then I'll devote myself to them and then they'll die or worse...get bored or scared of me.

I don't want that.

Wolf barks snapping me out of my daze, I look at him and he's glaring at a pair of officers. This is a good way to calm down. Yeah I'll just finish this quickly. I grab the vibroknucklers and fit my slender thin fingers through the holes and clench my fists.

"You stay here and wait 'til I'm done." I whisper to Wolf who sits down silently. I walk towards the officers to stare at my dirtied face in disgust which I return,

"OI BRAT WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" the first rounder man asks,

"Nothing much." I reply coolly, yeah nothing much I just want to claim your lives. I'm sure even I can afford that. When I'm within the radius of the officers who have a gun and a taser strapped to their belts, I sock the fat on in the jaw with the steel vibroknucklers. I smirk as I notice the red liquid dripping onto the once grey road, his jaw also seems to be broken. Maybe I should try hitting the next guy with a bit more power, my eyes snap to the unharmed man who's yelling profanities at me, "It was quite boring playing with you guys. I'm guessing you're not into the fighting games like street fighter then?" I inwardly cringe at my horrible reference, and uppercut the lanky policeman. "That wasn't too bad then huh? Tell your boss Wolf's coming for his head." I wipe the crimson metal on their clean cotton jackets and put the vibroknucklers back into my pockets.

I whistle, Wolf comes running up to me and we continue our way to an anonymous location. Wolf the Wonderer. Has a nice ring to it, I smile slightly to myself.

This truly is a boring world.
