chapter 2 (part 1)

She wore her trademark red jacket and short shorts as she walked through the city half lost . She checked her location again as she finally reached the park , it was on the edge of a small forest and was practically the quietest place to be , and the prettiest during sunset. She sighed as she sat on a bench and looked around.

"he's late" she said a second later starting to get annoyed. "where is this idiot?!"

"shhh.." said a voice from behind her as a hand was forcefully placed on her mouth. "be a good girl and listen. got it little girl?" the voice was slightly muddled like if someone's talking behind a mask though it was still a bit ... soothing for some reason.

she grabbed the hand on her mouth and easily dragged the guy to the ground . he wore a black mask with a similar pattern as the pictures on her shirts , a violet good and the golden locks that peeked out of the hood.

" Now there you are you a**hole" she said standing and crossing her arms. She had a serious face and tone , lucky for him no one really walks to that side of the park that time of the year. "you kept me waiting"

"hello m'lady" he said making a salute while laying on the ground "you're quite the sight for the sore eye"

" why are you late?" she pushed him back down when he tried to get up.

"behind the tree.." he pointed towards the elm tree not too far I'm the back. She walked towards it and pulled out a huge box , once she opened it a strong scent filled the air. "I thought you would have liked some food " he sat up straight crossing his legs and lifting his mask.

"y.. You.. brought... it?" she said as her mouth watered and gently pulling out a juicy heart , it was about an hour or so since he killed the boy so , they're quite fresh.

"yeah ... you hadn't eaten in at least a week.." He said gagging as he watched her take a huge bite and wildly chewing the heart then the lungs then the est of the organs he managed to get. " knew you'd be hungry"

"I was starving" she said rubbing the blood off her face. Her clothes , face , hands and the ground she sat on was covered in blood. And unfortunately she forgot to pack a change of clothes. " Thanks "

"anytime m'lady" he said slightly smiling . Being a self proclaimed serial killer - as called by the media - he was used to the smell of the blood , though Ella's smell was abit concentrated. " So what's next?"

".... Take the rest of the week off.. You deserve it" she started zipping her jacket , since it was a deep red the blood didn't show much of the thick liquid. She wiped her hands and face with a wet tissue. " I'll be off now" she stood up took her bag and started walking back to where she came from , it was dark and the stars didn't show in the sky because of the city lights.

" want me to walk you home?"

"no. go home, boy"

"but-"

" Go Home Don"

Max was walking home from the mall after four hours of shopping for cribs , diapers, baby clothes , toys ,...etc with his pregnant sister. She was walking Infront of him carrying only her future baby's Teddie bear , She was on the last days of her 8th month and preparing for her new baby boy.

"com' on hurry! " she yelled at him as she walked towards their apartment building. lucky for him it wasn't too far away , he felt his back break and he probably ended up with a separation in his shoulders " move your lazya**!"

"Can you shut up for moment!!" He yelled at her. Finally making his way through the main door , using the elevator and finally opened the main door . He threw himself on his bed and groaned when she ordered him to buy her some chocolates .

He got up and walked all the way to the mall again. Since his sister broke up with her boyfriend 4 months prior he had to do everything , all the chores for his sister , her baby and her occasional best friend who stays and does nothing but complain about him being an ungrateful little prick. Why he does this? well he and his older sister had a nasty childhood , She practically saved his life most of the time so , now he had to repay his Debt.

' ok which chocolate?...' he thought staring at the four rows of chocolates of all types and flavours. the last time he got the wrong kind was the worst day of his life. ' it's most definitely not the one with jelly beans... '

"hey, try this!" said a voice from his rights , he turned to see a pair of illuminating blue eyes smiling and handing him a huge classic dark chocolate , He backed away from the surprise and how close she was.

She kept staring at him holding out the chocolate , She looked like a normal high schooler but her attitude was more of an anime girl-ish type. What was noticeable was the design of her red jacket that looked like dry blood ' almost like the real deal' he thought. the next one was her radiating smell , and lastly was her unnatural shade of light blue that looked like they were glowing.

"Are you ok?" she asked lifting an eyebrow . He noticed he was staring and shook his head.

"y..yeah I'm fine" he said as he finally took the chocolate. "thanks"

"no probs" she said smiling and putting her hands behind her back. "I'm Ellana, my friends call me Ella" She said putting her hand out to shake. "nice to meet you!" Her whole childish , animé like attitude didn't suit her overall look or aura but ... who was he to judge.

"Max" he took her offer and was just about to leave when his whole body felt stiff.

"by the way , I really really LOVE your green eyes " she said walking closer to him. "you know only 2% of the planet have such colour but..." she got too uncomfortably close , all his attempts to move failed , he was just like a statue. " and they particular Shade is ... exclusive to freaks " She grabbed his face and easily pulled him towards her. He could swear he would have vomited from how disgusting and strong her smell was , now he remembered what it was , blood .

"Now listen child " She said in a serious tone. He wondered how no one was seeing this " Better memorize every single word because if you didn't I will rip every single organ out of your body and watch you bleed to death, got it?"

" y.. you're a freak!" he half yelled. She smiled and Letted him go , She then snapped her fingers and he was able to move again . He stepped back and shot a black gooey substance from his palm managing to tie her hands to her body , her legs together and push her down . He breathed heavily as he heard people approach the aisle as he walked up to her . She smiled and said "good boy!" before he slammed her head on the floor. He won't get exposed again.

When people walked through the aisle he was gone. He used his goo to send himself and the girl to the ceiling and holding on to the air conditioning system. Yes , she seemingly would have killed him or even worse , exposed him as one of the freaks but his conscience won't make him sleep at night knowing that he left an unconscious girl laying on the ground because of him. Sometimes he hates all the stupid decisions he made.
