Kills not ordinary

Year 2000. Beverly Hills Los Angeles, United States of America.

(Footsteps, running...)

"Splash!" The sound of water echo into the dark, cold night. A lady run into an empty street which has been evacuated for three years and was cover in fog, the stationed street light blink rapidly as she felt a cold breeze pass.

"Aah" she screamed loud as she mistakenly miss a step and trip down, she sprained her ankle "oh shit" she cause under her breath.

She turn back constantly, she could hear herself breathing unsettling, she tried to move her leg but she couldn't. " oh God" she cried as if calling for help.

She heard a faint groan behind her, she turn back shakily observing, she was terrified. She move back slowly on her butt, the faint groan became loud and close like it was approaching her but there was no one in sight.

" who are you, what do you want from me?" She muscle the courage to ask. Suddenly the street lights went off and the groan stop but something strange happen, she can hear a song.. someone was singing and it seems like the voice of a kid . The song echo into her ear from all direction.

" please show yourself" she pleaded crying, the street light turn on back and the groaning sound return backing up the song. Just then she saw a tiny little figure emerge from the fog, it was a child around 7years old.

He was tatter, rough and pale. His black long hair reaches his knee and his gray eyes was attractive. On seeing him the lady heart felt at ease but then lot of questions ran through her mind.

"Hey, what're you doing here all alone, come on it's not safe out here.. we can leave this place together" she said shakily.

"I don't want to live this place" the innocent child said tilting his head looking at her like it's the first time seeing a lady.

"Where are your parents?"

"What's parents? Is that a person." The innocent child as a cavernous smile creep to his dried lips.

"Your guidance, Those who takes care of you, or the ones who gave birth to you." The lady explain confuse why would a kid ask about such thing.

The young kid nodded his head, a few strands of his tousled hair fell on his face, giving him a dark expression. "No one birthed me, or watch over me.. because i was locked away by those stupid, CLAVES" his once innocent tone has now turn into a cold, rueful, excruciating deep irritated tone.

"What??"

"I'm hungry, I haven't eaten for Aeons now, watching your frustration I can't help but think you are delicious... I will just find them and eat them all just like..... you!"

The lady heart skipped immediately she heard those words and the next thing was her scream which echo loud.

Faraway down the town in an apartment, a boy was seen sleeping in his bedroom. He was sweating heavily hearing the scream he suddenly woke up gasping hard. Sweats roll down from his forehead to his chest, he could feel his heart racing fast.

*******the next day, BBC news**********

A lady was found dead in Eichen street dead with a missing pineal gland, the decease corpse was recognize to be a civil servant. Further investigation are being carried out as to what happen..

The Tv was switch off by a young girl in her teen life. She has blonde hair, thick eyebrows, long eyelashes, pink lips and a set of brown eyes which made her Very beautiful and attractive. She was wearing a denim short and a baggy t-shirt , her hair was packed in a pony style.

"Nat!"

A lady enter the living room all dress up casually.

"Mum, good morning." Nat greeted her mum with a bright smile revealing her dimples.

"Morning darling... " she look around searching for her car keys "baby, you're gonna be late for school" Her mother said .

"And you're gonna be late for work" Nat said as she stare at her mum who was going through the stuffs kept in the shelf. The shelf was place at the end of the living room.

Her mother stop and look at Nat with her brows up "says who ?...am not gonna be late okay" Her mother said confidentially.

" yeah, says the person who's looking for her keys... Mum is a little clumsy" she cartoonize her voice while making a silly face with her eyes rolling around her eyes socket.

"Not all the time...but I kept it here on the table last night. "her mother admit and made a complaint as well.

"Catch!" Natasha threw some set of keys at her mum, who got a hold of it and sigh in relief.

"So you really have to make me go through stuffs first?"

Nat smiled widely and exit the house" let's get going" she shouted from the outside.

NAT POV

'Hi everyone my name is Natasha hills, daughter of Valerie Hills... I can't believe am actually going to school today, it's not like it's my first time but this is one of a kind, it's my first day in senior year. Am so very excited and I can't wait to meet my friends....

I attend Beverly Hills high school. My mum is a detective working for the Lapd. And am just me. Living with her, my father died when I was young so I don't get a chance to meet him or see him but that's all in the past... I know what you're thinking now don't feel sorry for me. Cause even without a father I've grown well.'

Nat turn sideways to look at her mum who was driving, Valerie notice she took a quick glance at Nat then smile showing her set of white space teeth.

"What?" Valerie ask smiling awkwardly.

" Nothing, why are you smiling?" Nat questioned.

Is it obvious? Valerie asked.

"No...yes - both. I mean you just started smiling like you remember something funny" Nat said.

A blush creep into Mrs Valerie face" No, nothing like that...just happy my daughter is going to school."

Natasha laughs out loud "seriously?"

"Yeah of course" Valerie pouted her lips, holding her ground.

"Come on, tell me what do you have in mind" Nat ask insisting, she talks to her mum like her friend and that has kept the relationship between the mother and the daughter close.

"Nothing, stop asking me, am just happy for my baby "Valerie said, still not ready to say anything.

Nat won't give up, she gave her mum a suspicious glare. Valerie felt Nat eyes on her, feeling odd cause knowing Nat glare was obstructing her driving.

"Would you please stop staring at me.. I can't concentrate" Valerie pleaded.

"oh my, and since when did staring, become a distraction to driving, huh?" She ask as she tilt her head sideways.

"Ever since you won't give up insisting."

"Hmm, you're just happy to be back on duty" Nat said winking at her mum.

"like i was ever out of duty" Valerie sigh.

They both burst into laughter. After the laugh die down, Nat expression change immediately, there was silence for a long time. Valerie notice the sudden silence she felt something was wrong, she knew Nat was never the silent one as long as she's presence, it's gonna be noisy all day long.

"Baby, are you okay?" Valerie asked concerned, the only time Nat is silent, is when she's thinking of something or going through a lot.

Nat just stare outside the window, looking at the busy streets. She's suddenly just went moody.

"Mum..." Nat called, she turn to her mum who glance at her. "About the news...is it going to get scarier for us to live in this city, it's getting worse and not just for me or us but.. others" Nat lament.

A frown settle on Valerie face, she stop when she got to the traffic light, she turn to Nat, at least she has few seconds to talk to her daughter.

"Baby, I thought we've talk about this, I told you to stop watching news if that's gonna help you get over your fears for such situations" Valerie said consoling her daughter.

"Am just saying we should evacuate before it's gets...."

"And what makes you think other places are safe?" Valerie asked, Now stroking Nat hair.

"Beverly hills is worst, death rates increases from 10% to 20%. Each month a total of 500 people is reported dead, And a year is times the number of each month all in one small town. Mum, this isn't pass mark "she complained bitterly.

"Nat! Nat!.. please that's enough, you haven't experience anything in other places," Valerie raise her voice, but the teen beside her didn't flinch a bit, realizing she was being too harsh, she sigh deeply then lowered her voice and place her hand on the car stereo.

"Listen, nothing is ever gonna happen to us and most importantly you cause am never gonna let my guard down for anyone to butt in "Valerie said confidentially.

"Mum, these kills are not ordinary" Nat said.

" Neither am I, whoever touch you, just sigh a death wish cause am gonna toss heaven and earth upside down for your sake...Am gonna protect you baby, I give you my Word" Valerie said with gritted teeth pressing her hand against the car stereo
