Zaida's pov****

"I feel fat.." I said finishing my second piña colada smoothie. ghirahim looked at me like I was some kind of alien.

"You are most definitely not fat."

"Funny how the first store he hit is a smoothie stand.. it's been an hour and we have about ten shopping bags and a total of six smoothies." yeah you heard me. Six. Two for ghiryboy here and four for me.

"Hey we should go to sephora.... yeah let's go I wanna see what cute things they have there." said grabbing his wrist and taking him to the store.

"What's a sephora?" Oh lord....

"It's a cosmetic shop. a place that sells make up." I started looking around when I saw two familiar faces. "hey ghirahim isn't that dark?"

Ghirahim turned and smirked."yep that's him, what's on his face though?"

"I think the whole store xD" I walked closer to said guy and my sister. "hey big sis whacha doing?" Celeste looked up at me and smiled mischievously. "I am shopping"

You don't say?

"I thought they banned human experiments." I laughed. ghirahim snickered next to me.

"They never said anything about animal experimenting." she continued to put eyeliner on dark. I laughed. poor dark.

"Cel can you stop putting this crap on my face?"

"No I need to know if it's got any second effects." oh lord, I grabbed Ghirahims hand and left. there was nothing in there that I didn't own so I'll just comeback later.

"Ok so..."

"What's that?" He asked pointing to a bar close to the exit. "that's called a bar. people go in there to have fun and drink beer."

"Well then what are we waiting for? let's go!" He grabbed my arm and pulled me inside.

"Ghirahim no I'm not allowed in there! I'm underage!" He continued to pull me to the bar and once we were inside we got separated.

The bar was filled with men and the smell of alcohol penetrated the air. how could he have dragged me in here and then left me? Like poof he just disappeared! He was holding my arm and poof! He went poof! Like come on you should know what I'm talking about! "Ghirahim!" I called out his name but apparently he wasn't around. the crowd made too much noise to be heard. "ghirahim!" No response. oh gosh I just managed to lose a strange psychopath in a bar.. and I'm stuck here too. I turned around to leave the place before anyone got any ideas. before I could cross the door a big man with a very untrimmed beard got in my way. he looked to be in his late forties and had a large beer belly, and his breath reeked of alcohol.

"Leaving so early? Say what's a pretty little girl doing here alone anyways?" Eww sir get some mints >~<

"Yeah I'm leaving now could you please let me through fat man?" Ugh I hate myself. I need to learn how to keep things to my self.

"What did you call me bitch?" He dropped his mug and advanced at me and I walked back trying to get as far away as him. ok rule number one! Do not insult semi drunk guys. The man cornered me and rose his arm. I stood there frozen in fear and closed my eyes waiting for the impact.

But nothing happened. I felt something warm and sticky splatter my face and opened my eyes. what I saw terrified me. the man in front of me had a black dagger stuck to his chest and I panicked. "oh my gosh!" I felt someone grab me from behind and snap their fingers.

I felt my stomach turn and opened my eyes again only to see we were outside of the mall next to my car. and ghirahim stood right in front of me.

"Tell me did that bastard do anything to you??" He sounded mad, I looked down to realize I had blood splatters on my clothes.

My eyes widened. "tell me it wasn't you! GHIRAHIM YOU KILLED SOMEONE!" He only shrugged it off like it was no big deal.

"Answer my question, did he hurt you?!"

"I don't think it matters since HES DEAD!"

Ghirahim rolled his eyes at me spinned me around, looking me over.

Or in my words checking me out.

"What are you looking at! The blood of your victim on me?!"

"Oh for dins sake zaida I was just making sure you weren't harmed by that man!"

"I call bs on that!" I unlocked the car and put the things in it. I don't know how I feel, traumatized I saw a man die infront of me, and awed ghirahim came to my rescue. ugh that man probably had a family! And it's all my fault he's dead!

"He's not dead if that's what you're thinking, I only beat him within an inch of his life. he'll live." oh what a relief.

"Why are you acting like this is a Normal habit for you?! What kind of monster are you?!"

I as a flash of hurt in his eyes and instantly regretted saying that.

"Sweetheart that's what I am, a monster. I kill people and other innocent beings for fun. it's what I do." he avoided my eyes and stared at the setting sun. or what you could see of it since it was mostly covered by skyscrapers.

My phone rang and I looked at the caller id. Anna. she must be worried since I had like six missed calls from her. I decided to walk to the other side of the car and answer.

"Yeah?"

"Where the hell are you?! We were supposed to meet up here twenty minutes ago and you never got here."

I sighed. "I'm fine I'm actually already at the car with ghirahim."

"Good stay there were on our way."
She hung up. I felt uneasy about what happened today and the secret I found out about ghirahim. we just stood there in silence until the others got here. we wouldn't look at each other or even acknowledge each other for the moment. I'm sorry but if you saw someone your sister brought from the street kill someone in front of you and shrug it off like it was nothing wouldn't you be scared? Yeah sure he says he only beat him within an inch of his life but who's to say he won't try to kill us in our sleep?! Honestly I don't think I can trust him....

"Hey z, are you going to stay in the car or are you coming in?" I looked up to Elizabeth and noticed that we were home.

" Yeah I'm coming.." Apparently ghirahim grabbed all his stuff and left while I was zoning out.

"What's wrong?" I just witnessed one of our "guests" almost kill someone then walk away ok with it. nope nothing's wrong ha what makes you think that?other than the mentioned reason above..

"Nothing just tired." I walked into the house and headed to my room. I didn't feel like talking to anyone right now. much less him. I felt sad, disappointed. why though? I should be telling Anna and calling the cops on him, but I can't seem to be able to bring myself to it.. why do I feel disappointed? Why did he hurt the other guy? Hell why am I even having internal conflict about this??

Why do I like him?
