Chapter 27-Knife

The stairs creaked under my feet as I looked upon an odd stain on the wall, it was a faded shade of red as if someone tried to wash blood off of it. I looked down to see a larger stain on the floor, barely viable but I could still tell that Michael had killed on of the teens who was dared to enter his home on this spot.

I sighed out and ran my fingers along the stain, the wood walls feeling rough under my fingers but the blood seemed to have been absorbed into the wood telling me that that particular death was a while ago.I continued down the stairs and tried to hear where Michael was, it took a moment but I soon remember how silent Michael was when he walked. I blinded walked towards what I thought was the kitchen from the movies and I was correct.

I entered the lit kitchen to see Michael sitting on one of the stool around the kitchen island, knife in hand. He was twirling it around as a plate of food sat in front of him and one in the seat beside him. I watched in wonder as the knife was spun around his fingers, into the air and back into his hand all without a mistake.

"Wow." My breathless statement caught the mans attention as he stabbed the knife into the table in alarm. "Oh! I'm sorry. it's just that that was so cool. How did you...?"

"Practice, years of it. Now why don't you sit down and eat, I didn't kill the woman just for fun now did I." So he doesn't cook. Nonetheless I sat down beside him and dug into the meal as he did as well. I looked over to see that we had rolled up his mask so that hi mouth showed and nothing more.

"This is quite nice, did you happen to catch the name of the dish before you killed her?" Michael set his fork down and swallowed the food that was in his mouth.

"No, unfortunately. Why, do you cook?"

"I do, not very well. I took foods classes in school and then cooked at home just because I love food so much." 

"Well if that's the case I'm going to have to fill the fridge with food." He went back to his food.

"That would be nice." I quickly finished my plate and right when I finished Michael picked it up and tossed it in the sink with his where he began to wash them right away. I went to stand by him and dried the dishes as he washed. We finished in record time and moved onto the couch in the living room.

"So what do you do when it's not Halloween?" 

"Nothing much, I map out the town and the children. Kill for meals when needed, either by killing animals o people who just cooked like I did tonight. I also just kill around you know, find new obsessions. What about you Y/N, I mean I already know everything about you but I'd rather hear it from you."

"Well I'm a biomedical engineer, have no social life, haven't drank or done drugs or had sex so no need to kill me for that." He chuckled at that, a deep ground rattling one. "I love to read, watch horror films, have no desire to stay with the trends or be in for fashion, live with my parents who want the best for me which is why I am here."

"Yes I know all about the whole situation your going through, I'm surprised your perfectly okay with all of this attention from us killers. I have no real clue why all of us seem drawn to you but my curse per say tells me that their is some external evil force in all of this. the force that made us all this way." His eyes go dark for a moment before going back to their normal brown. 

"Well that's strange but nonetheless I enjoy getting to know all of you, at least so far. I've loved your films from when I was little, I was a weird child don't ask."

"Please why would I judge, I was bullied myself for being the weird kid. If anything I'd say you'r amazing."

"Awe thank you Mikey, can I call you that?" He nods. "I always hated bullying but seeing it in your film for example triggers me for you had such a bright future but I guess if they did I would have never got to meet you."

"I guess that's true. What would you like to do?" I think for a moment trying to think of the perfect activity that the two of us could enjoy.

"Why not some arts and crafts? I think masks sound fun." I smiled as I saw Mikey's eyes widen in excitement as he nodded to my idea rushing to get his supply box. I boy was glad to remember that detail of the movies.
