A Reunion

Chapter 9

Jane's POV

I stayed silent... I didn't know how to answer. Everything was just going so fast, I couldn't keep up to what was happening around me.

Minutes passed and I heard a sigh from Jeff. I sigh of bitterness...

I new he was hurt from my silence... Right after he gave me that speech about how he felt around me...

Even so, I was in his arms. Wrapped around me like a blanket! So warm... so soft.

My eye lids were soon drooping and my body felt heavy. My mind started to drift away and I fell asleep.

Jeff's POV

Jane's breathing began to slow down and she soon lay very still. I look down at her and see that she fell asleep. Her face seemed so calm and sweet.

I unwrap my arms that clouded her body and sat up. I looked back at her again and see that she shifted a little. I smiled at her and stood up.

Jane was so innocent. She may think that she is filled with darkness but to me, I see light. She is my opposite. That's why I love her.

And it's because I love her that I don't want her to see me right now. I grabbed my knife and walked out the room. I shut the door as quietly as I could and started to proceed down the hotels hallway. I put my hood over my head and placed the knife in my hoodie.

Another day for another kill I thought. This feeling that I get a least once a day must be satisfied. I wonder who the victim is today! A mother, a father, a child?! It didn't matter. They all seem the same to me.

But not to Jane. That's the part of me that she hates, despises in fact! I mean, she has dedicated her whole life to end mine. For her revenge and for the safety of others too. But no matter how much I try, I can't stop. I have to kill... No... I want to kill! I love it! The excitement, the blood, the screams, and not to mention to make everyone beautiful! It's my art! Everyone has a talent, mine is just different compared to theirs.

I started to imagine the different ways to torture someone. It excited me!

I prefer torture because you can always do different "Activities" and such. What's the fun in instant kills. There so boring. It's just not my style!

I finally made my way out of the hotel. I lowered my head so no one could see my face. The streets were busy. I could her the many foot steps that passed by, along with the talking and laughing.

I made my way to a less populated area. Only a few passed by and I watched for my newest victim. A blond looking woman made her way past me. She was wearing a black business skirt with a pink buttoned up top. She wore black high healed shoes that matched her bugged eyed shades. She seemed to be talking on her phone.

I grinned a devilish smile and made my way towards her.

Jane's POV

My eyes fluttered open. I moved my arm across the bed and noticed that no one was there. I turned my head and observed the empty yet warm spot. "Huh!" Where is Jeff? I questioned my self. The empty space still had Jeff's lingering scent. It smelled nice and comfy. I looked around and noticed he wasn't anywhere in sight. It was way to quiet for him to be in the bathroom.

I began to worry. Wait a minute.. Why am I worried about a guy like him! He could drop dead for all I care! He's just a jerk face! I pouted and stood up from the Queen sized bed.

I slid my long black boots on and made my way to the table that lied right beside the bed. I grabbed my kitchen knife and shoved it in my boot. I headed for the door and grabbed the silver handle. Im going to go for a walk! Jeff has no control over me! I opened the door walked through.

I walked out of the building and looked around. There was a lot of people everywhere so I had to push my bangs in front of my eyes so they wouldn't see me. I walked for a while and found myself at a park. Kids played everywhere and I watched in envy. So carefree and happy. They played on swings, slides and even sea saws. Though one fell off at one end of the sea saw.

I watched as he cried. Scrapes were on his knees and arms. I hurried towards him. I don't know why but I felt that I should help him. I picked him up and asked "Are you ok?" He wiped his eyes and began to say, "yes miss, thank yo..." He stop as he saw my face. He began to scream and yell "Monster!"as he pointed at me. Then all the kids started to look at our direction. I looked around without even thinking. Next think I new, all the kids started to yell. I fell back as they all yelled at me saying "MONSTER" They ran in fear and I just sat there.

All I did was try to help...

Why am I being punished...

Why does this happen to me... I NEVER DESERVED THIS!

I punched the floor countless times.

I looked down and thought about how the kids reacted... Monster...

"That's all I am huh..." I said in low and saddened tone.

"That's not true" said a voice.

My head jolted up and my reflexes took over. I spun around quickly. My eyes widened and my knife fell to the floor. Total shock flew throughout my body. No way I thought.

"Nice to see you again... Jane" he said.

I gulped and said slowly "... Liu"
