Like Killer, Like Son

No Killing? Since When

~Usnavi~

I wake up in the middle of the night to noises coming from downstairs. I check to see if it's Philip or john but they're still asleep.

Holy crap someones breaking into my house!

I grab a bat(and kick in the door not sorry lol) and head downstairs. I see someone in the kitchen and almost immediately swing and hit them in the head.

"Ow! What the hell?!" They yell.

I drop the bat as soon as i see who it is.

"What the heck is wrong with you?!" Alex shouts.

"Me? What are you doing?!"

"Going to Narnia- what does it look like im doing?! Im getting a snack!"

"I thought someone was here to rob the house!"

"Yeah, maybe give me a warning before bashing my skull in..."

"I'm honestly surprised you didn't stab me in response" i say while putting the bat away.

"What? Why would i do such a thing?" He asks.

I freeze. "...because that's your go-to option in any situation. At least from what john told me"

"What?- ow...my head freaking hurts" he groans.

"Well it is bleeding after getting hit by a bat"

"No shit Sherlock. Hand me an ice pack and some bandages"

Turns out we're out of bandages so ijust grab a handful of bandaids. I bring them back to Alex who's sitting on the counter.

"Here" i say. "Dont die please, not a lot of people would come to the funeral. In fact, i can imagine people celebrating"

"Yeah, yeah..."

"So what we're you doing?"

"Getting a snack"

"Before that. You obviously left"

"I was...uhh... I actually dont remember..."

I sprint to the bottom of the stairs. "John wake up! Somethings wrong!" I yell.

"I was already awake. You guys talk loud!" He says while walking down the stairs; rubbing his eyes.
"Whats up?"

"Somethings wrong with Alex"

"We already covered that hes mentally insane"

"No like legitimately something is wrong!"

"Um...I'll be right back. Philip has known him longer so he might know what to do"

He goes upstairs and comes back with Philip.

~Alex~

"Ok Alex, what is the one thing youd never say no to?" Pip asks.

"Writing"

"Aside from that"

My head is killing me as i try to readjust the ice pack.

"Uhh..."

"Come on Alex, it's literally why your even here!"

"I don't know"

"This has to be a joke. Its killing! You even tried teaching it to me"

"Why would i do that? Killing is bad"

I catch a glimps of fear in Pip's eyes. John has a small smile thats barely visible.

"Please tell me this is some sick joke" philip mutters.

"It's not. I don't understand- it's Usnavi's fault. He hit me with a bat" I say.

"This cant be happening! You being normal, not wanting to kill, its weird"

"Well get used to it 'cuz i dont know how to fix this"

"You're not even using proper grammer... This isnt you!"

"I wasnt expecting you to act like this... But I guess im not killing"

John hugs me and after a few moments, i hug back.

So no killing? I wonder how this'll go

-------------------------------------------

Its been a few weeks. I still disapprove of killing yet Philip says I shouldn't. Weird.

Me, John and Philip are all out eating lunch at a restaurant when I catch a glimpse of someone at another table. I suddenly have a feeling that we need to run.

"Hey John, we should go..." I say.

"What? Why?"

"We just need to leave"

"Ok?"

We get whats left of our food to-go rush out the restaurant.

"So why'd you say we had to leave?" John asks.

"I just saw someone who looked suspicious..." I glance behind us the guy was following us. I sure hope its just Usnavi pulling a prank on us.

I walk a bit quicker and the others follow. The guy, whom i have dubbed the "restaurant stalker" quicken his pace as well.

"Crap" I groan.

"What?"

I pull laurens and pip around the corner and look behind us. Good, restaurant stalker is gone.

"Ok I think we're safe" i sigh. "I swear I've seen that guy before"

"Well if you recognize them and they look suspicious that's probably not a good sign" Philip says.

"Yeah, I guess you're rig-" someone was trying to strangle me from behind with a cord or something.

"Guys help!... Can't breathe..."

John turns around and is I can tell is legitimately afraid. "Burr" is all he says. Or from what i can hear.

My vision gets blurry and I start to lose my strength.

"Alex your knife! Use your knife!" Philip yells.

I reach in my pocket only to find the knife he was talking about. I flip it around and stab burr in the chest.

He falls and i can finally breathe again.

"Why... Didn't you guys... Help me?!" I manage to say while coughing.

"Because we didnt know what to do! And because you had a knife" John sighs.

I turn around and see burr lying on the ground. Hes not moving.

"Holy shit i just killed someone..."

"But..." Pip starts.

"But...i dont feel bad about it... In fact, I want to kill again. Hey, my headache is finally going away!"

"Yes! You're an insane killer again!"

I laugh a little before turning back to john and pip.

"Well Mr. Laurens, let's face it. At this point nothing can kill me or stop me from living!"

He smiles

I feel a sharp pain in my chest. I glance down and my shirt is turning red. I turn to see burr dropping the pistol he shot me with.

"Alex?... Are you... "

I can't hear anything over the ringing in my ears.

I fall to my knees as everything goes dark.
