2 First Encounter

It's three in the morning and I've already taken out four of these monsters. Now I'm looking to make it five before the sun comes up and my prey decides it's time to sleep. As I catch sight of number five, I slow my pace to keep from being noticed and possibly his prey. I move to the shadows and try to size him up, find out what he's capable of before I try killing him. While following him, I find he has got a good 75 to 100 pounds on me and he is about 6 foot 3. It is possible he's a mind reader but it's unlikely. Most mind readers would have taken a victim into the alley by now. He seems too well collected to be a monster.

I was so bewildered about how well he kept his composure around so many unsuspecting potential victims that I walked right into someone.

"Sorry, excuse me." I said, instinctively without looking at who it was.

"No worries, babe." Her words rang so loud in my head I got dizzy from it.

I stumbled and turned around to see her but she was already gone. Never had I experience that before. And now I lost the guy too.

"Damn it, Jaz! What is wrong with you tonight?!" I angrily muttered to myself.

Feeling defeated I head home to my apartment that over looks the city. It isn't much but at least I have a place to sleep. Besides, it's just me so why bother with anything bigger? I shake my head trying to clear it, but that woman's words are still playing pinball in it. Why are her words still in my head? How is it possible for her to have such a hold on me just from a light touch? It wasn't even skin to skin. No one has ever shown that ability. I push open my door and walk the short distance to the window. As I stand there watching the city lights fade and the sun start to rise, I lean against the cool window. Sighing, I watch the night slowly fade and I can't help but miss being a part of this naive world. The world of the living, a world where people wander around more worried about if tomorrow will be as beautiful as today. A world where monsters are just fantasy, made up in the minds of children.

"It'll never be that way, you should just go to bed and forget about it. You'll never belong with them." I tell myself, head hanging low, as I close the thick black curtains and head to my oversized bed where I find my Lucifer curled up against my pillows.

I smile as I look at him, he's the only thing in my life that I can't be without. Having him is probably the only reason I'm still breathing at this point. How could I abandon this little guy? I strip off my clothes and carefully pull down the comforter, slowly slipping under it and cuddle around Lucifer. I let myself drift off to the sound of his motor running quietly.
