Warlock's POV

"Tell me something Warlock, why do you always have to go out of your way to find a specific person before you can kill them?" Henry questioned me with a curious expression.

"Just want to see who looks worth killing." I made up an excuse.

He didn't seem to buy my obvious lie, but this time I was grateful he didn't pester me about it.

I would always look around town for the families who looked to be the happiest or the most positive. I wanted to see how their perfect little imaginary world is shredded to pieces right in front of them when I slaughter their family.

It brought me a great feeling of satisfaction.

Henry faces me directly. "So... Warlock- I know I asked you this before in the previous town but you wouldn't mind if I-"

"Knock yourself out." I nodded, already knowing full damn well what he was referring to.

"Thanks bud! I owe ya one!" He said, already leaving to find somebody he could simp for. I shook my head and continued to wander around town, hoping to find my prey quickly.

When I entered a crowded location, there was one person who stood out to me above everyone else, that person made me tense up and get weird feelings in the pit of my stomach.

It was the beauty from the riverside.

"Excuse me! Coming through!" His sweet voice sounded through my ears, which gave me an intense feeling of warmness.

A buff looking man dared to fucking shove him out of the way. In a flash, I quickly rushed over and caught him before he fell to the floor. I  turned and mentally noted his facial appearance and clothes as he was left the area.

Hm. One thing is for sure. I found my next victim.

"I'm so sorry! I wasn't..."

Fucking hell, his voice was so clear and innocent. I had to resist the urge to pick him up and steal him away from this dump of a place.

"W-wait... you..." His face showed a look of slight fear but... I could see past him. I could see it in his eyes... that common sinful emotion.

Lust.

Hellish Lucifer- this beauty wants me. Well shit- I can't deny someone that looks like this now can I?

"Forgive me for acting so strange earlier." I kept my arms around him, waiting for him to willingly leave my hold.

"Um... no it's okay... I... why were you following us?" He stuttered a bit, having a fierce expression to mask his obvious fear.

How cute.

"Following...?" I pretended to sound confused. "Ah- you have me mistaken beautiful, I was just going to ask for directions." I smirked a bit at his blushing cheeks.

"Uh... W-Well then why didn't you ask?!" He finally decided to step away from my hold on him, which made me a little disappointed but I wasn't too bothered.

"Because- I was star struck by your enchanting looks." I admitted truthfully.

He bit his bottom lip and looked away from my gaze, obviously flustered at my words. I took the chance to eye his thin body, his short top barely covering his belly button and his black tight bottoms leaving nothing much to the  imagination.

I licked my lips.

"Well... I suppose I must give you my thanks for catching me..." He spoke once more, his voice filling my ears and making me shudder. "Thank you... um...?" He tilted his head to the side.

"Warlock. Call me Warlock beautiful." I winked at him.

"Well... Warlock..." He tested out the sound of my name and bloody hell... the way my name sounded coming out of his pouty lips...

"...You can call me Prince." He smiled a bit and bowed his head politely, almost as if he were impersonating a member of a royal family.

"Hm... Prince huh? How cute." I moved some of his hair out of his face, caressing his cheek gently. His skin felt so soft and warm...

"I- I um.... I need to get going now. If I don't hurry my friend will start to get worried!" He stepped away from me, smiling awkwardly before he turned around and headed for the nearby stand, and I watched him closely as he purchased some flour and sugar.

Placing them carefully in his basket, he payed the lady and bowed a bit before he left in the opposite direction of me. I was going to follow him to make sure he was safe, but then I stopped myself.

What the fuck is wrong with me?!

Am I seriously caring about a.. human?

I shook my head. Fuck! This isn't how things are supposed to be! ALL humans have no business living their worthless lives.

So then... if that's true... why do I care so much about what this one does?

Prince...

I clenched my fist, thankful my claws were retracted, otherwise I would have ended up slicing open my skin. Then, I remembered something important I had to do.

I grinned.

Making my way back to the main square I scanned around and focused on my surroundings, hearing the whisper of the shadows and mild darkness in areas where light was blocked.

I managed to pinpoint my victims location and noted he was in the building farthest from the south aisle. I made my way over there and watched carefully as he headed back outside.

I followed him all the way back to his home, which was conveniently the farthest one from all the other houses in town.

My day just keeps getting better and better.

"Hey! Warlock!" I heard Henry walk up to me and patted my shoulder. "You wouldn't guess who I bumped into!" He spoke almost excitedly.

I turned over to him and raised an eyebrow to let him know I was paying attention.

"It was your boy's buddy! The snappy lookin guy? Funnily enough, he goes by Snap!" Henry had a huge grin plastered on his face.

"Is that so?" I widened my eyes at how chipper his mood was.

"Hey, maybe you might bump into your boy since his friend is around! Don't give up!" He slapped his palm on my back and I gave him a warning growl.

"I'm not choking ya fucker. Quit slapping my back."

"You're tougher than I am- you should be fine." He raised his hands up in defeat and smiled sheepishly.

I sighed.

"Well, on the bright side. I found our next victim." I informed him.

He looked at me curiously. "Who?"

"You'll see." I smirked.
