Rogue Reaper

Prologue

It was a very cold night. Her body was lying down on the cold pavement in a dark alley, very still as if her countenance was carved out of stone. Her glacial eyes were staring vacantly at the apocalyptic dark sky trying so hard to suppress the storm brewing within her being.

She knew deep down that she needed to get a hold of herself, her ill temper can have drastic repercussion on all the living beings around her. Her body however was consumed with such fierce rage and hunger that she wanted to nuke all the euphoria in this universe leaving an empty shell with nothing left but the all consuming darkness.

A bright streak of light, closely followed by a loud bang of thunder, woke her up from her angry and self loathing stupor.

"That was extremely close to the surface Ren, you need to stop before you destroy and burn everything around you", the sane part of her brain pleaded to the rest of her chaotic and muddled mind. Slowly she arose from her lying position, her limbs were stiff and she felt as if death had warmed her over. Oh the irony of that statement.

Brushing of the cold, she could here the distant wailing of the siren and the honking of the vehicles. She knew that she could not ignore the calling anymore. The hunger will not subside until she acted upon this calling.

Following the sound of the siren, she came upon the site that she was trying with all her might to avoid. From a distance of 100 meters she could clearly see the crimson blood that was staining the asphalt road. A figure was lying limp in the center of all the chaos. Paramedics rushing to and fro and the coppers standing near the victim securing the perimeter.

She could hear a very faint heartbeat, whoever that person was, they were slipping away, she approached the security perimeter and ventured into the crime scene unnoticed. Of course nobody could see her, she was practically one with the darkness. As she approached her victim, she could clearly see that it was a young boy. Not older then 10 years of age, she knew that he was ready.

The girl knelt close to him, waiting and that is when the young boy opened his eyes. She knew that he can see her. The boy seeing the ethereal being mouthed a silent "Save me". All the girl did was give him a cold smile and placed her hand directly over his heart on his chest. His little body convulsed once and that's when the paramedic standing behind her proclaimed that the boy was no more.
