Chapter 4


I hate this school and it's my first day. The students seem like idiots and my teachers are wet sods. I'm a teenager who kills for fun not a keen learner of useless stuff I already know. I walk towards the roof of the building with my hands in my trouser pockets, my left hand stroking the black hilt of my blade. My right hand twisted the doorknob and I watch as three boys surround a shorter much weaker and vulnerable boy. I lean on the doorframe and watch as this absurdity happens before my own eyes. Like in the alleyway a similar scene of a pack of wolves ganging up on a sheep happens. So who's who in this game? I smirk as they corner the small boy on the fence and unbuttons his shirt. I whistle, sure he looks slightly feminine but that's not a reason in itself to sexually harass him. The three taller guys snap their heads towards me and glowers, psh they've been caught red handed. My smirk widens and I stride towards them,

"Hello there." I wave and shove my hands back in my pocket, they scowl at me and I chuckle slightly. My pupils dilate as the taller lanky guy attempts to punch me square in the face. How useless can these morons get? I kick the back of his shin and he face plants into the cement roof, I step on his black haired head and laugh, "Is this seriously all you got?". If we were playing a proper game this guy would have lost not only the game but his life also. You know now that I think about it, they didn't even return to my greeting. Damn rich people aren't brought up with any manners, well what was I supposed to expect? I guess I need to teach them a lesson. I click my neck and stop on the back of the guy's kneecap, a sickening crack resounds through the small area on the roof and the other two bullies' eyes widen, they release the boy and start circling me. This time I try to hold in my laughter, can they not see how futile it is fighting me?

"-ur gonna pay." The average Height guy growls, I must have been spacing out. I smile and wait for them to attack me.

"I'm just curious as to why you were sexually harassing that boy over there." I point to the boy with light grey eyes and even lighter grey hair. The two circling me launch for an attack and I kick one of them where the sun don't shine, if you get what I mean, he lets out a grunt of pain. I kick the other sideliner in the face and he stumbles back a couple feet and wipes the blood that drips from his nose. "Since I won let's set some rules, number one: this roof is my territory, number two: disobey me and you pay with your lives," I growl at them, my eyes snap to the half-naked boy who shivering, "and number three: mess with that kid again and I'll kill you." I spit on the side and walk downstairs.

Murder is one thing I can stand and don't really mind but rape. Rape and sexual assault just pisses me off. I walk to the gates and climb over them, I'm not going to this damned school anymore. I hate it already and I've only been here about four and half hours. I'm afraid that if I stayed there any longer I would have gone on a snapping spree.

"WAIT!" a high pitched voice calls out, I don't bother to turn around but I do stop walking,

"what do you want?" I ask authority taking complete control of my tone of voice,

"Thank you." The voice says, I mutter a cold 'whatever' and continue my walk home. I am stopped by a small hand gripping onto my shirt sleeve, "I'll like to repay you." The voice says. I look down to see that boy from before, he looks up at me with his large puffy grey eyes, I ruffle his straight hair and whisper a soft 'you have nothing I want or need.' And continue to walk off into the grey road that leads to my home.

I walk in a flop down on my ripped black couch, the doorbell rings and I open it in frustration revealing that wimpy kid from earlier.

"Leave me alone." I state, he walks in and starts picking up all of the items of clothing that have been chucked on the floor. I close the door and stare at him as he cleans my living room, "Get out." I say and flop back down on the couch,

"No way. You saved my life the least I can do is help you out a little." He crosses his arms over his flat chest cutely and tries to act angry, I smile at his answer, he's not even aware of what neighbourhood we're in.

"You do know this is the same neighbourhood that crazy serial killer's taken over. A person of your status and skill would be an easy target. We're not in High-Wick, you know that right? Over here in Shadow-Cliffe and any sector that's poorer than here, you fend for yourself." His light grey eyes widen by a fraction but return to normal and resumes picking up my clothes,

"I don't care. I'm just trying to help anyways it's not like my life matters that much." I raise an eyebrow and sit up from my sprawled out position,

"Oh, and what do you mean by that?" he smiles dejectedly; I hope this isn't supposed to be some sort of self-pity scenario thingy.

"Well for starters my mum died when I was about six, my dad remarried to a lady and had another two kids, the kids hate me and my dad looks at me with disgust and pity. Then there's school which I'm getting bullied for looking like a girl and my smarts and yeah. I was fired from my job last week so... I've pretty much hit rock bottom huh. Even if so I'm still going to help you out even if you don't need it because you're the first person since my mum's death who hasn't treated me like garbage." We're left in a comfortable silence and I stare at the guy's slightly pink face, I resist clicking my tongue at him, I've been through much worst. Trust me when I say you have it easy, that's advice you should always take when talking to a psychopath...but he can't hear my thoughts.

"What's your name?" he looks at me and stares, "well..." damn does he not understand English?

"It's uhhh.. Eden. Eden Seabrook." Eden huh? That's quite fitting for a wimpy vunerable kid like him if you ask me.

"So what, you gonna stay or go to your family?" I yawn, he shrugs and sits next to me. I smile and walk into the kitchen and get a box of dog food and pour it in the dog dish. Wolf can eat later if he wants to. I put the box back in the drawer and grab a box of cereal and walk towards Eden, "Want some?" I smile and munch on a couple of the sugared flakes, he shakes his head a 'no' and the room is filled with a silence once again.

"What's your dog's name?" the shorter boy besides me asks,

"Wolf." I reply blandly,

"So you named your dog after you?" as if on cue Wolf comes running up to me and snarls at Eden aggressively, Eden visibly pales

"Calm down boy, this is Eden." I laugh, Wolf jumps on me and licks my cheek, I ruffle Wolf's white fur and look back at Eden, "Quite the opposite actually, I named myself after my pet." Wolf barks and I laugh even more, "sorry I mean I named myself after my best friend." Wolf licks my cheek again and stares through Eden with his light grey eyes,

"I love his piercing blue eyes; they really go well with his snowy white fur." Eden giggles, my eyes widen,

"Say that again." I look at Eden who's scratching the back of Wolf's ears, he looks at me and repeats his sentence. Wolf's piercing eyes lock with mine, I place my nose on his black one, "So your eyes are blue, sorry buddy I didn't realise." I smile slightly sad. It's quite depressing really how I only see shades of grey, white, black and red.

"What do you mean you didn't realise his eyes were blue," I look at Eden and his face flushes red, "I-I mean y-you don't have t-to answer or anything. I w-was just c-curious and..." I laugh as his voice was getting quieter and quieter by the words,

"I'm colour blind. I have this condition where I am unable to see colours other than red and shades of grey." I smile and stare up at my grey ceiling, Wolf curls up in the corner of the room by the radiator and dozes off.

"I have blond hair and light green eyes." Eden mumbles into his shirt sleeve, I look at him with my eyes widen, I grin brightly

"I bet they suit you, I've never seen green before," He smiles at me, "don't look at me like that. I don't like that look of pity you're giving me." He places his smaller hand on mine and squeezes it slightly,

"Sorry," our eyes meet and we both smile, "wanna be my friend?" he asks me, I can hear the fear in his voice as he asks me. I nod and place his head on my broad shoulder,

"We've been wasting time for a long time. Go to sleep." He hums and I sit on the couch cross-legged and wide awake. Insomnia really sucks, I watch the clock ticking on my grey walls. Tick. Tick. Tick. This is boring. I watch the door bored, maybe someone will ring it in 3, 2, 1- DING DONGG! I'm psychic, I grin and lay Eden gently on the couch covering him with a grey blanket, he stirs in his sleep I smile at his sleeping form and open the doors revealing four strangers. A man, a woman and two kids, "May I be of service to you at this time of the night?" I smile, the man coughs

"Sorry to disrupt you at this time but have you seen a scrawny sixteen-year-old boy who has straight blond hair and green eyes." This must be Eden's family; the question is should I tell the truth or lie to them?

"Does this boy have a name?" a smile with a sickly sweet smile, as expected the man replies with a 'Eden Seabrook' gruffly. "Please come in." I open the door wider and motion the family to enter my small but comfy abode. The family walks in and stares at Eden in surprise, I walk over to the sleeping boy and shake him slightly,

"F-five more minutes.." he mumbles and turns around, I smirk and blow in his ear. Expectantly he yelps and almost falls off the couch, "w-what was that for?" he yawns and rubs the tiredness out of his large innocent eyes,

"Your family has come to pick you up." I motion towards the people behind me, his eyes widen and I raise an eyebrow,

"EDEN WHY THE HELL ARE YOU IN THIS PART OF TOWN?!" the man shouts the lady pushes her two kids behind her protectively, I sigh as people knock on my door. The guest look at me as I stagger towards the door facing a group of shady looking men,

"Sorry buddies but you're going to have to come another time, things are getting pretty heated in here." I look back at the family, the brute in front of me brings his face closer to me and breathes in my face, I gag

"Well then I guess we can kill all six of Ya then." I narrow my eyes and in a swift movement my blade is in front of his widened dark hue,

"Leave now and I might consider sparing your lives." They don't budge, I dig my once silver blade into his eye coating it with his crimson blood, "Leave now. If not, I'll make sure I hit something more vital." The gang stumbles out of my doorway and I close my door on them. "Geez what a bother. It's going to be difficult to get this stain out of the carpet." I sigh and throw my blade on the target that hands on the wall opposite the door. Bullseye. I smirk, "Sorry about that, please continue and try not to be too loud. We wouldn't want to wake up the neighbours."

I stare at the frightened family, heck even Eden looks about his about to piss himself, "J-just who are y-you?" I look at the mother her dark grey eyes are widened and the kids behind her are trying not to cry on the spot, I smile

"I'm wolf." I look at Eden who's visibly quaking in his school shoes, "You should probably go home now." I open the door for them and smile, "It would be in your interest to not to return to this neighbourhood especially with your younger kids." I lean on the door frame and wait for the family of five to walk out. But they just stand there, I open my mouth to talk but the father beats me to it,

"Just exactly how is this neighbourhood dangerous. I know there are gangs and dealers here but there are those everywhere." I smile and shut the door slightly,

"In this neighbourhood in this part especially there's been tons of murders. There's a crazy serial killer on the loose who kills practically anyone who doesn't belong in this area. What do I mean by that? If you can't fight you're long gone. If he doesn't get you the gangs or dealers would. In this part of town its everyman for himself. But not even an army can survive when fighting that psychopath. Night is his favourite time to lurk within the shadows." I laugh at their petrified expressions. I look at Wolf who's staring hungrily at the children, ironic isn't it. "Wolf you can't eat those children," I chuckle darkly, "we can go out later." Wolf barks and continues staring at the two kids, the mother holds them tightly in a protective embrace and the father stands in front of his wife and to younger kids protectively, leaving Eden out in the open. What a loving father, right?

"M-midnight.." the lady stutters, I nod,

"That's him." We are left in silence, I wonder if they're going to leave or stay...maybe I could kill 'em and feed em to wolf. I'm not so hungry. "Want me to walk you outta 'ere?" I smirk, I know I look shady but right now I'm they're only chance if they want to survive out here. Eden looks at his family completely lost,

"what's the catch?" the father growls, I smirk

"I want one of your kids, your choice. Bear in mind that you may never see em again. But also be wary of the fact that if I don't accompany you outta here your goners." I chuckle lightly, the parents look at each other and nod, the father pushes Eden towards Wolf, 'take him' his dark eyes scream to me, "Are you sure?" they nod. Eden looks at the grey carpet a drop falls from his face and onto my carpet resulting in that patch looking a shade darker. I sigh, these people are the worst. Maybe I should just kill them off. They're nothing more than scum. "Wolf I'll be back in a bit. Look after Eden." Wolf barks in response and I follow the despicable family out the door.

"Do you not like Eden?" I query the wife looks at her husband who coughs in response,

"That brat is a good for nothing twerp that only gets this family in trouble. He lost his job and expects us to pay his education fees, the nerve he has.." he growls, I spit on the side of the road scaring off a rat in the process.

"With no offence intended sir but I think you only hate Eden because your first wife left you for heaven and you were stuck with a child who is a mini replica of her. Your jealous that she's stuck in heaven and you'll be dragged to hell." I smirk and stop leading the group, "Am I right or am I right?" the father's eyes widen and stare into my hollow dark ones, I fiddle with the dyed tips of my hair that stand out in this dull road. He shakes his head and walks in front of me. I notice how vulnerable his neck is left as the back of his jacket hangs loosely from behind. I fiddle with my blade in my pocket, my eyes flicker to the alleyway where a shadowy figure dashed inside it. I call them out and of course no one replies. Tch coward.

"Master Rogue I will like you to end my life of miserable suffering." A boy no older than 12 steps from the shadows into the open, I gulp... my fingers are itching to rip that tender grey flesh with my own hands and cake the road in his crimson blood. I lick my lips hungrily, my eyes flicker to the boy again,

"OI KID!" I call out, "come 'ere" I wait for him to catch up to me,

"Yes sir?" his innocent dark eyes remind me the fact that the evil in this world wasn't born.... It created,

"Don't refer to me as master." I state, he apologises with a bow, I ruffle his dark hair he smiles at me sadly, I look in his eyes. He's desperate to die, I can tell. "I'll grant you your wish." I smile and slit his throat, Eden's former family looked at me shocked as I pay them no attention and watch as the corpse falls to the floor. "Let's go." I carry on walking and the sound of his body hitting the concrete floor makes a small smile graze my lips. If these party-poopers weren't here I would have had so much more fun with him.

We finally reach the border of my slum sector and their wealthy more fortunate sector of town. "Good night." I mutter and make my way towards home, a smirk dances on my lips as I hear the man mutter curses under his breath. Maybe I can find another person to toy with. Nah I don't want to have another shower. It requires too much time; I could spend that time with uhhh.. plans? I walk home passing many hookers, dealers and all sorts of sketchy people, one day I will escape this hell hole and conquer the richer part then kill that bastard. I hate the people in Escye...but I love the entertainment.
