Chapter 1 - A little blood won't hurt

October 15, 2012

"T-then he held-"by this point tears were streaming down my face.
"Calm down sweetie," her voice was sweet and comforting as she interrupted me.
"Can't we do this another time officer,she's clearly not in the best state,"she looked down at me then back at him.
"It's alright she already gave us enough to aid with the investigation."he paused glancing at me"poor thing's probably traumatize."

'I'm such a good actress'

I looked down hiding the smirk that had formed on my face. Avoiding his gaze, and the look of pity everyone in the station was giving me I hastily followed Mrs. Williams out the station to where her blue Honda civic was parked. She gently ushered me into the car before making her way to the drivers seat.
Mrs. Williams was my neighbour she lived three doors across from the Watson's residents and had heard the pained screams along with the sound of the gun. She was the only one out of the whole neighbourhood to come and investigate. She was the only one to see the horrid scene before the police arrived well her and that nosey little prick. I imagined it differently.....my assumption was truthfully based on my personality I had not planned to fall into a frenzy of anger and, pull the trigger without even the slightest bit of anxiety.
'Is this really what became of '
'Who I've become?'
No! It's what he made me.
Flashback
He scoffed "what are you gonna do shoot me?" To my surprise I wasn't shaking with fear nor was I anxious I held it firmly with my left hand. So that's what it felt like to have upper hand "go on shoot me" he laughed mockingly. He took a step closer and unlike all the other times were I would take a step back I didn't. This seemed to anger him " shoot me" he demanded in a low tone that use to intimidate me. Not anymore. I looked him in the eye my face void of any emotion. I lowered the gun and shot him in his right leg. He screamed out in pain and I almost felt sick for finding pleasure in such a dirty deed. Almost. I smiled as the smirk he once wore fell and his face twisted up out of pain. I squeezed the trigger again putting an end to all this. Everything was silent,just not everyone. I heard him, he was trying to get out. I turned quietly making my way down the hall and to the door, sure enough he was there. I grabbed his shoulder forcefully turning him to face me.
"Meet me under the monkey bar in the park on Peter's street," I said coldly glaring at him. He nodded and I motioned for him to use the back door instead of the front. He immediately caught on and scurried off to where I had motioned. This gave me time to go upstairs and discard the murder weapon. I raced down the stairs just in time to hear the front door open and like the skillful actress I am knelt beside the man's lifeless corpse and became to sob. Not long after did I hear footsteps making there way towards the kitchen. I looked up when the footsteps stopped through my teary eyes I saw a mortified Mrs. Williams.

End of Flashback

"Did you hear me, love?" I met her gaze in the rearview mirror I shook my head and she sighed. She opened her mouth to say something but I cut her off suddenly remembering about my arranged meeting with the nosey piece of icicle.
"Can we stop by the park on Peter's street?" I asked weakly. She gave me a questioning look but nodded deciding not to question my request. The car fell into an awkward silence. In less than five minutes we pulled up at the park. I stared at it longingly looking up when I heard Mrs. William sigh. She looked at me sporting a sad expression "you can go doll," she said nodding towards the park. I hesitantly reach up and opened the door before sliding out. I turned closing the door and walking away.
This is way too easy
I made my way over to the monkey bar where I spotted a familiar head of thick dirty blond hair. He was looking down at his iPhone "go on shoot me" I froze.
"What's that ?" I asked narrowing my eyes at him. His eyes widened as he quickly hid his phone too late "nothing" he said nervously. "Let me see," I demanded holding my hand out for his phone. He didn't hand it to me instead he looked at me a mixture of hatred,disgust and fear in his eyes "you killed him."
Hmm where was the arrogant ass that use to pick on me so I really scare him that much. "Yes,he asked me to"I answered. He looked at me horrified by how I was taking all this so lightly.
I stared at him intensely finding pleasure in watching him squirm uncomfortably.
" Is it a crime ?" I kept my face blank successfully hiding my amusement.

"Y-yes," he stuttered shaking uncontrollably.

"Well I guess that makes me a criminal," he visibly paled at my words.

I stood up glancing back at him "Delete the video, forget everything that just happened. Forget that there was every a Noah Watson or that Bella Storm existed." I passed him a sly smirk "or else I'll just have to kill you, Xander."

His eyes widened and he quickly stood up shaking his head at me "I'll send it to everyone in my contact list," he threatened finally standing his ground. Silly silly boy. I narrowed my eyes at him "Don't. Try. Me. Xander," I spat venom lacing each word that left my lips.
"You wouldn't try anything," he said not backing down.
I smirked "that's what he thought," I paused " let me remind you Xander I'm the one with the gun," I finished raising my eyebrow daring him to challenge me.
