WARNING: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS DEPICTIONS OF VIOLENCE AND GORE, REFERENCES TO SELF HARM, AND DEPICTIONS OF ATTEMPED SEXUAL ASSAULT
Zeke is an trained assassin. He is trained to kill people. I, am just a regular high school student. I am not trained to kill people. I can't be like one of those monsters. I stared at Zeke as his eyes trained onto Audrey. I had to come up with a plan. The one thought popped into my head. Kill him after school.
It was now 6th period. The period where Darren would ask out Audrey. It would like hell to listen to. But it wouldn't hurt as much. The same things happened like last time. Audrey was called into our classroom. Darren asks her out. I've seen this all before.
I am now hiding behind a corner watching Audrey. I was hiding behind the wall of a local McDonald's while watching Audrey cross the street. Then there he is, Zeke. He had his hands in his pockets. Probably getting the switch blade ready. I had a plan. Earlier, I busted open the lid for the toilet paper dispenser. I also brought toilet paper to bandage myself in case I get hurt. It's a fool proof plan. No harm, no foul. I brought a black backpack with me to put all of my stuff inside.
Audrey turned the corner while Zeke followed her. He seemed to get closer and closer to her. I decided to leave the wall and follow them. After a few minutes of walking, Audrey said bye to her friends and headed across the street, Zeke soon followed. I followed them to an alleyway where Zeke decided to rush her. He took his switchblade out of his pocket and got ready to stab her. WHAM! I smashed the metal lid straight onto his head. Zeke fell onto a horde of trash bags. The alleyway had a spooky vibe to it. The two walls were painted in a dark shade of grey, there was a bunch of trash bags everywhere, this would be the perfect place for a murder. Remember how I said Audrey's body was found at school? Well, we are literally an alley way at school. WE WENT IN A CIRCLE FOR LITERALLY 15 MINUTES. I snatched the switchblade away from Zeke's hand and I stuffed it into my pocket. Audrey stared at me in shock. "What are you doing here, Juzo?" She asked curiously. I brushed off the dust from my jacket. "This creep was following you." I said as bent over to examine Zeke's body.
Audrey pointed at my pocket. "He had a knife. He was trying to kill me." Audrey said. She sounded frightened. I would be too, if this happened to me. Suddenly a loud noise plagued the alleyway. BANG! A gunshot. Audrey had been shot in the leg.
Audrey stumbled onto one of the trash bags. I rushed over to her in a hurry. As I frantically looked up and down, I noticed the gunshot wound on her thigh. It was bleeding a lot, I need to stop the bleeding. I took off my backpack and took out some toilet paper. I ripped some off and frantically tied it around her wound. This slowed down the bleeding, and gave me time to think. I turned to my left to see a familiar white haired, eye patch wearing, man with a revolver. Lucifer.
I didn't see him move. But he was already at my side. I forgot about his superhuman speed. He grinned at me as he grabbed my collar and threw me across the street. He threw me straight into a building. I had crashed inside a toy store. The everyone in the building was in a panic, I had crashed into the window, which shattered into a million pieces. I was leaning on a broken toy shelf, I was bleeding from my head and my arm. It felt like I was going to puke. How the hell was I going to fight a super-human assassin? Suddenly, the building was ingulfed in flames. I was trapped.
"What are you staring at?" Lucifer said from behind me.
I took out the switchblade from my pocket and tried to stab him. I didn't get far, because Lucifer took his sword out of his pocket and sliced me open. The cut went from my left shoulder, all the way down to my right hip. The cut was deep enough to almost cut me in half, but what saved me was a few patches of skin on my back. Blood gushed out as I fell onto the ground. The switchblade fell to the ground as I fell onto my back. I gasped for breath. I couldn't breath. My lungs ruptured. Blood came out of everywhere. My eyes, my nose, even blood came out my throat as I coughed. I was dying.
Suddenly I felt something in my left arm. Lucifer had injected me with something. He removed the injection and watched as my wound closed. The wound slowly, but surely, closed. I could breath again. Not perfectly, because of the smoke in the air, but I could breath. But why would he heal me? I turned my head to see Lucifer grinning at me. He was up to something. I tried to get up, but I couldn't. I couldn't move any part of my body. He paralyzed me.
I struggled, and struggled, but it was no use. I couldn't move. He was planning something, I don't like this. He went into his pocket and took out a saw. The same kind of saw you would use for cutting up wood. I knew what he was going to do. He was going to saw off my limbs. I need to bite my tongue. If I bite off my tongue, I would die from the blood loss. I tried to bite my tongue, but Lucifer pried open my mouth and grabbed my tongue. As he held my tongue, he started to pull it towards him. "If you try to die, before I could kill you, I will make sure you die a slow and painful death." I am so fucked. He let go of my tongue and sad down next to my left arm. He put the saw to my arm and started to slice.
Back and forth, back and forth. The saw rocked back and forth, as they sawed more and more of my arm. The pain was unbearable. It felt like my arm was being ripped in half (that was exactly what was happening). The fact that he was going slowly, was making it even worse. I want to die. Please kill me. THUNK! The saw finally hit the ground. He had sawed my left arm off. Blood rushed out of my arm (stub?) as Lucifer grabbed the severed arm and ripped it clean off from the excess skin. "AH, FUCK!" I yelled. He then started to eat MY ARM. He was eating my FUCKING ARM. "So this is how you taste like." He said as he continued to eat my arm. From out of nowhere, Zeke stood in front of me and spat on my face. "Serves you right you sneaky fuck." He said as he began to kick me. "YOU. SNEAKY. FUCK." He said as he continued to kick me. Zeke then went into his pocket and pulled out a tiny revolver. "What's up with you guys and pulling shit out of your pockets?" I groaned. Zeke put the revolver to my head. "I wouldn't be making those snarky remarks." I put his finger on the trigger. "I'll show you who's boss." He said as he pulled the trigger. "ZEKE, NO!" Lucifer yelled. But it was too late. BANG! The bullet entered my head and exited the other side.
Zeke and Lucifer stood in front of the dead body. His lifeless corpse was growing pale, and a puddle of blood started to form underneath his head. "Fuck!" yelled Lucifer. He kicked Zeke in the groin. Zeke fell to the ground and Lucifer began to violently kick him. "The master told us to not kill him. No matter what." Lucifer yelled as he continued to kick him. Lucifer pointed at the fire, and magically the fire stopped. "The boy has the power to go back in time." Lucifer said as he saw all the fire fighters in front of the building. "Every time he dies, he goes back in time. Do you get it?" He said as he stopped kicking Zeke. Lucifer reached into his pocket and pulled out his sword.
Suddenly, Lucifer appeared next to one of the fire fighters. In one swipe of his blade. All of the fire fighters, and their fire trucks, were cut in half. The trucks caught on fire and the blood and guts of the fire fighters, sprayed every where. The black city street was now stained red. Lucifer turned towards Zeke and smiled. "Kill the girl. She's still alive in the alleyway." He said as his smile turned into a twisted grin. Suddenly, the sound of police sirens flooded the quiet street. About 12 police cars showed up and surrounded Lucifer. The police officers opened their car doors and pulled out their guns. They aimed and Lucifer and told him not to move. Lucifer did not listen. He dashed over to one of the officers and sliced open his stomach. He then dashed over to another officer and ripped off his head with his bare hands. He then swung his sword and decapitated 4 police men.
The attack only took 2 minutes, but the sheer amount of casualties were no joke. About 125 police and fire men, died. All by the hands of the second strongest assassin, Lucifer.
The sound of a bell filled my ears. I knew just then, I had died yet again. I don't know when or where I will be brought back, I just know I have to be ready for anything. Lucifer is going to be a problem. He's the one who shot Audrey in the leg. He's going to be a pain in the ass. Zeke will be no problem, it's just his switchblade that makes him a threat. I need to get rid of his switchblade.
All I know about my ability is that I can go back in time on the day of Audrey's death. I don't know where and when I will be transported. So I have to be ready for everything. The trigger for my ability is my death, it doesn't matter how I die, I just have to die. So suicide might be an option. But how would I kill myself?
When I gained consciousness again, I was hiding behind the local McDonald's. This was before Audrey was shot, and before I was attacked. Audrey was still walking with her friends, and Zeke was still perusing her. This is my chance. I ran across the street to catch up to them. As I stood behind Zeke, I used my left hand to go inside his pocket and grab his switchblade. Before I could, he grabbed my wrist and started to crush it. I groaned as the pain made me lower myself onto my knees. "What do you think you're doing?" He asked as he continued to grab my wrist. I stood back up slowly and I started to look at him up and down. He has no weapons to kill me with, and he wouldn't do it in public.
I looked him and the eyes. "Watch this, asshole." I said as I bashed my head into his. He fell back in pain. That gave me enough time to go into his pocket and grab his switchblade. I grabbed the switchblade and then I made a run for it. It didn't take long to run after me. I turned the corner and led him straight to an empty alleyway. The alleyway was like the alleyway where Audrey got shot, but this one had more trash. I ran to the middle of the alley and waited for Zeke to come. It took him a minute to catch up to me and block the entrance to the alley. His hair was messy and his head started to bleed from the impact of me hitting it. I grabbed the switchblade and held it behind my back. I opened the switch blade and started getting closer to him. Zeke was already jogging towards me in anger. This was perfect. This is the perfect opportunity to kill him. Zeke ran towards me while trying to punch me. But it was too late. He left his stomach wide open. I proceeded to unhide the switchblade, from behind my back, and stab him right in the gut.
Zeke spat out blood. He didn't know I would do something like this. He looked at me in shock. He tried to say something. But I already slit his throat. His throat gushed out blood as his lifeless body fell to the ground. I cleaned the blade with the fabric of his shirt and put the blade into my pocket. I used Zeke's shirt to clean my face off, then I left the alleyway. Somebody would find his body. But I couldn't care less. He already killed me once and kicked the shit out of me another time. But I couldn't care less. Fuck him.
As I navigated the streets, I kept looking around for Audrey. It was now 4:50 pm. I have to stay close to her. I then heard a girl scream. It was Audrey. I followed the screaming into an alleyway where a bunch of boys from my high school were standing in front of Audrey. Wait something is wrong. Audrey was on the floor crying. Most of her clothes were on the ground. She was only in her underwear and bra.
"Cheer up, Audrey. You will like this." One of the boys said.
"I want to go first." One of the boys said as they lowered their pants.
The alleyway was full of crap like trash bags but most importantly, bricks. I don't what went into my head. But unconsciously, I grabbed one of the bricks, and smashed it against one of the kid's head. He fell to the ground as I dashed over to the kid that had his pants down. I bashed the brick against his face and used the momentum to kick another kid in the head. I don't know where I learned to do that, but it's working. Some kids started to panic and run away, most of them stayed to fight. I put down the now bloody brick, and put my hands up to my face. In fighting, you always have to guard your face. I don't know how I knew that, but no time to think about it. One of the kids tried to throw a bunch at me, but blocked it and grabbed his arm. I pushed him towards me and tripped him with my left leg. He fell to the ground, just as another kid tried to attack me.
I don't know what happened after. I just woke up to see the kids on the ground. They were beaten, bloody, and bruised. My fists were covered in blood and it looked like my knuckles were busted open. In my other hand was a brick, which was covered in tons of blood. Did I do this? I turned around to see the sun setting. When I found Audrey, the sun was in the sky still. A lot of time must've passed. I looked at Audrey. She was still in her underwear, but she was shaking in fear. I tried to go over to comfort her, but she looked scared. I walked over to her and hugged her. Just then, she unexpectedly started sobbing on my shoulder. She must've been so scared. I started patting her on the head. "It's okay. I'm here." I said. "You're safe now. I won't let that happen to you again." I said as I grabbed her clothes. "Put these on and let's go." I said as I let go of her. When she was done changing, I looked at her and I extended my hand. "I'll walk you home." I said with a smile. She grabbed my hand and we we started walking.
She told me those boys (the ones about to SA her) were boys who have been making inappropriate comments about her appearance. She showed me the messages from them, and damn, those kids were making the most horny, most blatantly gross, messages I have ever seen. I am disgusted to be the same age as them. She told me they asked her to meet them in the alley to apologize for their actions. They did not apologize. They were trying to rape her. They stripped her of her clothes and were about to rape her, but I stopped them by beating the ever loving shit of them. They got their shit rocked. I think it was a good thing to beat the shit out of them.
It was already night when I finally reached Audrey's house. Her house was white, it also had a white driveway, a white SUV, had a white fence that wrapped around the yard. Her family must really like white. Anyways, I walked her to her door and rung the doorbell. It seems like no one was home. I rung the doorbell again, no response. Suddenly, I get a gut-retching feeling in my stomach. The door was unlocked. "Stay here." I said as I slowly opened the front door.
The house was pitch black. The only source of light was coming from the kitchen. As I walked towards the light, I looked around for anything that could be used as a weapon. There was nothing. I had to use my hands. As I turned the corner, I heard a loud chewing sound. It's almost as if someone was eating. It might be their dog or something. I peeked around the wall to see the kitchen walls, painted with blood.
