Other Worlds.

Danny

The steaming water pelted my back. I was fully aware of every knot being untangled and every muscle being soothed. The stress of being what I am is unbearable, but I couldn't imagine being one of my victims. Little do they know I can't help it. It's not my choice, or is it?

I needed to focus on something else. (Demitris.) I thought. I shouldn't be here, inconveniencing her. Maybe I should leave after this, but I owe her an explanation. This isn't fair for her to be burdened with my secrets; by my intentional mistakes.

I sigh. (Can you ever think without stressing?)

"Ugh!" Grunting in frustration, I attempt to stop thinking. I put my face up to the shower head, rubbing the blood from my lips, and combing my hands through my hair washing out all the dirt.

Stepping out of the shower, I wrap a towel around my waist. I wipe steam off the mirror, and take a look at myself. Most of the blood is off my body, but inside I can feel it running though every vain I inhabit.

I bash a fist against the bathroom counter. I peer into my reflection's eyes. The scene of what happened in that alley stays with me, but I can't comprehend why.

I will find you and end your life as quickly as you ended mine, or even quicker!

I can't get her voice out of my head! This isn't normal! I usually get over my meals faster than this, yet she seem to be embedded in my brain! I remember her begging me to let her go, screaming until her time was nearly up, and thinking those last words.

"Danny," Demitris called from beyond the door, "I have some clothes for you."

I open the door and look down into her eyes, "Thanks."

"It was nothing." She smiles, but she's not always this sweet. Only to me.

After I get dressed meet Demitris on the couch. She scoots over, and her eyes welcome me. She seems uneasy.

"What is it?" I asked.

"We have to go see William now. He has to clean up your mess, you know." She looked off in the distance. She was right. William was the body collector, but even if he had already collected the body, he needs to know who caused the mess.

"I hate him Danny," She tuned to me. "He doesn't scare me, but that pervert has got some real problems! You remember what happened last time!"

I laugh and she slaps my chest, standing she yells, "It isn't funny!"

"Love, that's how he shows his emotions, he can't help it." She stomps out of the room. I'm puzzled. She is usually more dominant, but tonight she is very moody.

Later Demitris falls asleep, and I stick around. I'll go see William tomorrow.

Sorry about the short chapter, but I needed to introduce William at some point. Hopefully the next chapter won't be as short or boring. Sorry!
