My Hero, My Killer

Chapter 9

JEFF THE KILLER'S POV:

I whipped around, stumbling back in the process

I couldn't believe my eyes. It was that girl. The girl who's father I killed.

A tiny smile crept across my face.

Why was I so scared? I could take her! Just another victim.

I reached into my hoodie pocket for my knife but my hand froze as I saw the butchers knife she held tightly in her left hand.

She slowly approached me, her face twisted with hysteria

"thought you could run away...? Just kill my family and get away with it?" She spoke harshly, her words like daggers.

I was too stunned to say anything. Too stunned to even move my head.

Was she crazy? Insulting me? Threatening me with my own weapon of choice?

I shook my head and lunged at her, knocking her down roughly.

She let out a squeal before slicing the knife at my shoulder.

Luckily my heavy hoodie and her untrained hand saved me from the cut being too deep.

I gripped her shoulders roughly as I banged her head against the forest floor.

"You dare touch me!? You dare hurt ME!?" My voice rang out, edged with pure anger

She looked frantic yet she laughed as if what I had said was a joke.

She lifted her leg and hit me in the gut with her knee,

My eyes widened and I backed off slightly, holding my stomach "why you little..." I snarl.

I pull out my own knife and lunge at her,

I slam her against the ground again, piercing my knife into her side with no mercy.

Her eyes went wide and her mouth opened slightly as if to cry out yet no sound came,

She obviously couldn't handle much pain and was out like a light within seconds.

I stood up over her, triumph in my eyes. I raise my knife to finish the job.

But...something stops me.

Not physically but mentally..

I shake my head slightly and back off

I couldn't hurt this girl anymore

I had already killed her father and she seemed sick in the head,

Much like me.

Few understood my insanity and a small hope flickered in my eyes that maybe this girl would

That is if she lived..right now she lay sprawled on the forest floor with blood gushing from her side

Not a sign of life if you ask me

I bent down cautiously and nudged her

She did not wake

I hesitantly reached down, scoping her up in my arms

I couldn't believe I was doing this but it had to be done

I was bringing her to the mansion...
