Killer-X -shadows of dark-

Chapter 9- murders dont rest

"I had it!" I demanded as I sat up from the table my stomach now neatly and carefully wrapped in white cotton like bandages, Kat began taking off the rubber gloves stained all over with old blood "No you almost died there's a big difference." She said throwing the gloves in the trash bin. My stomach felt like all hell it felt like the knife went in but never came out, I had my hand applying pressure to stop the pain which didn't suppress It completely. "Is this how it feels when I stab someone?.." Mel glanced at me "probably but best not to think about it to much."

"You should of went after that son of a bitch."

"Yeah and let my best friend bleed out while I caught up to a dude who clearly wasn't messing around I think I made the right choice."

"I would of been fine and even better if you would of caught him!"

"Actually geo Mel's right god only knows what could happened if he left you behind you would of died." Kat added.

"Oh no, No way are you pulling the power couple thing on me."

"Bro I have no idea what you're talking about and that's besides the point now eat the cookies I got you."

"No I don't want any."

"No I spent good money on these cookies bro you gotta eat them come on open your mouth eat the big boy cookie it's gonna make you feel stronger."

"I don't wanna eat the big boy cookie!- WAIT A MINUTE! You're treating me like kid!"

"No geo he's not but you haven't eaten any breakfast and it's already 9:34 am come just eat the big boy cookie."

"No you guys totally are doing that parent thing! And that's not a healthy breakfast in the morning!"

" bro come on it's double chunk with nuts."

"Melo piss off im not eating the cookie."

"You are going to eat the big boy cookie and you are going to like it.."

"I really don't like how you're talking to me about the cookie it's scary.."

Kat tilted her head "Are you allergic to the cookie?"

"What no!"

"But you're not eating the cookie." Mel forward the cookie towards my mouth.
"Just eat the big boy cookie geo and stop being bratty."

"I don't want the big boy cookie get it out my face before I smack it.." I folded my arms.

"You're eating this big boy cookie I did not waste 3.99 for a double chunk."

"Alright! I'll take the big boy cookie home- I MEAN COOKIE UGH!" I snatched it and slowly stood up. Mel turned and folded his arms "you're sitting this weekend out taking a break."

"What that's bull..." I slowly bit the cookie.

"No it's safe and I'm not letting you run wild with a wound freshly still open while this maniac is still out there.."

"So the cookie is a bribe cookie?..." I asked Mel slowly nodded as he sat on the table. I threw the cookie on the floor "You got until Monday then I'm back on the team got it?" I began walking "HEY THE BIG BOY COOKIE!"

"You can stop saying big boy cookie." Kat said her eyes following Mel

I nodded grabbed my hoodie and began walking out still in pain the morning rising sun hit my face nearly blinding me. Walking home gave me a while to think how I could of been badly hurt, I got home and did as I was told I laid down and rested I barely ever got up unless it was to eat or use the bathroom. When my mom became a little worried of my laziness I told her I was not feeling good, after a couple of temperature from a overly worried Latina mother I was pretty much in the clear. Kat came over Sunday and checked my wound and changed the bandages.

"Doesn't look as bad as the other day." She began wrapping it back up.

"How's mel? Did he find him yet?" I questioned her face looked a bit of worry as she slowly taped my bandages shut. "Wellll um about that...The ripper killed two more people me and Mel will find him." I jerked up until the pain forced me back down "what?! How! I told you I need to be there!"

"You need rest ." She lightly spoke gently pushing me back down.

"Murderers dont rest why should I?" I uttered she fixed her glasses the soon left. I was alone dealing with the pain until Monday the pain sucked a little less I was still feeling the stabbing pains on my stomach. Weakly but willingly I went to school I was tired and weak kat and Mel both approached me by my locker, "how you feeling?" Mel asked leaning on another locker next to mine, " I feel like I overdosed on peptobismo and now my stomach can't handle anymore."

"Well we got you these, here try me out you only need one really they're pretty strong." Kat handed me a small yellow and white bottle filled with pills. "And these are?" I shook the pill bottle intensely close to my ear kat in a frantic motion jerked my arm down "there painkillers dumbass don't show them off!.." she looked around and cleared her throat before looking back at me again.

"Listen one a day it numbs everything almost like it wasn't there.." Mel whispered.

I opened the cap and extracted one pill out of the bottle and swiftly but quickly popped it in, soon followed by huge chugging gulps from my water bottle the pill went down with ease and I went threw the rest of my day feeling lightly unaware of my wound. Of course I still had aches and jabs here and there but I was soon fine. I was tapped on my shoulder when at my lunch table "where's your friends? You almost always seem to be alone if they're not around." Emily poked fun at me smirking while sipping from her Snapple.

"Really cause it's kinda weird you're the only one that cares enough almost like you take the time out of your day, to watch me...what's the word I'm looking for...OH right STALKING.." I tilted my head and threw my hands in the air.

"Not stalking its just sad seeing a lonely stump with the look of despair all the time ...kinda like looking at a puppy like bulldog."

"Bulldogs are cute." I shrugged

"Then in that case more like one of the hairless cats you know the ones I'm talking about right?"

"Wooowwww!" I gave her the finger and exhaled deeply. Mel ran to the table in a hurry he locked eyes with her "ew I didn't know there was a hot topic around maple! The hell is that all black hoodie!" She faced him her eyes squinted "oh wow sorry almost didn't see you there maybe next time you should stand on the table I could see you better."

"Oh you piece of-...just go BE GONE THOT!" Mel pointed at her and in return she grabbed his hand and squeezed it his smile disappeared as he began to frown, the fear in his eyes alerted me as he fell on one knee in complete pain.

"Listen ever put your finger in my face again prepare to lose it."

"OW OW OW OK!" Mel shouted she let go waves bye and walked away Mel stood up holding his hand in disbelief "Damn you got your ass handed to you!" I shouted making fun of it he turned to me "THATS NOT A WOMAN THATS THE T1000 with a smile!" I shook my head and questioned "so what were you talking about?"

"Oh well kat and I found some clues we think we have the next person.." I stared at Mel and slowly uttered "then we stop this son of a bitch tonight." Kat sat down and adjusted her tray "and that's not all...I got a surprise for both of you!" Her face light up with excitement as she fixed her glasses.
