A tale of vengeance

Part one

The beginning

My name in Aaron steel. I only have one goal in my life, the brutal and total destruction of one monster of a person. I want to kill him and see him die in the most painful way possible. I want to rip him apart and beat him to death with his own arm or slowly dip him in acid and watch him melt. Is this an overreaction? I will tell you why and you can tell me whether it is or not.

I was driving home with my wife and my little girl from our weekly night out. I still remember that night we had just been to the best Chinese restaurant in the area, it was a great, night looking back on it, it was probably one of the best nights of my life till it happened.

Any way we were driving home chatting and making jokes, when out of nowhere a guy stepped out onto the road. I had no time to stop but I slammed on the brake anyway but it was too late, I hit him.

I told the wife to stay in the car as I got out to check if he was ok. I got out the car, fearing the worst. As I started to walk over to his body he sat up and I took a breath of relief. I walked over to him and helped him up

"Are you ok? Do you need me to call an ambulance?" I asked.

"No, I just need to lie down." He said. I offered if he wanted to stay at my house just till he felt better. That's the kind of person I was back then, too kind, too trusting. I have learnt from my past.

Anyway, back to what I was saying. He accepted my invitation to allow him to stay at mine till he was better, so we walked over to the car. I asked my wife to sit in the back with our little girl and then my wife asked if he was ok and what his name was.

"Lestat." he replied. He got in the passenger seat and we set off back home. On the way home we talked, he seemed like a nice guy, a bit odd but nice.

When we got home I gave him I quick tour of the house then I handed him a blanket and a pillow and said to him that he could stay the night and that it was the least I could seeing as how I had run him over. He replied with,

"Are you sure? I don't want to be a pest."

"No, no, it's fine. you can stay the night and set off in the morning when you feeling better." He said thank you and took the blanket and pillow off me and made his way to the spare room. I then went to bed, my wife was still up. I got into bed and asked,

"Why are you still up?"

"I don't know, I just don't trust that man, I don't know why, I just don't." She replied. I hugged her and told her,

"Everything will be fine." We then fell asleep in each other's arms. I should have listened to her and none of this would've have happened...

I woke up early the next morning and went down to the kitchen to make my wife and I breakfast and saw that the man we took home last night was up, so I asked him if he was feeling any better.

"A bit better." He replied "I might need to stay one more night." I didn't want to let him stay but I couldn't just throw him out, so I said that he could stay one more night but only one. He seemed ok with that. I then went into the kitchen to start breakfast. I asked him if he wanted anything he said,

"No I'm not hungry just yet." So I just made breakfast for the rest of us. then we got ready to go to work and my wife had to take our girl to school. I told Lestat that my wife would be back after she dropped off our little girl to school, and that I would not be home till late. He smiled and said,

"That would be fine." So I went to work.

As I got home I had a bad feeling in my gut. I opened the door and said,

"Hey guys, I'm home!" No one replied so I walked into the kitchen where my wife was most likely to be, as I reached the door I couldn't hear her cooking. A chill ran down my spine I did not want to open the door but every part of me made me open it and that's when I saw it my wife lying dead on the floor with her neck cut from one side to the other.

Without a moment's thought I ran to my little girl's room and there he was… Lestat holding my little girl upside down by her leg with arm.

"Daddy!" She screamed as she saw me.

"I'm sorry…" Lestat said, "I got hungry…" he continued, "You know, little girls are so sweet, so full of flavour." "You monster!" I screamed at him.

"Yes I am." he replied then he bit into her neck and ripped out her veins.

At that point I lost it, I charged at him with the full intent to kill him, I threw everything I had at him but I did not even hit him once, the black belts in three different mixed martial arts that I had where like nothing, I didn't give up, I threw one last punch but somehow he got behind me and said,

"I would kill you…" he whispered in my ear "but there would be not fun… I will keep you alive, let your hate for me grow, let you get stronger and when you have some skill then we will have some fun…" And then he knocked me out with a single punch.

I woke up to the sound of cops braking down my door, they charged at me and cuffed my wrists behind my back. I over herd some cops saying that they should just shoot me and I attacked them, they started walking over to me and one pulled out his gun and was going to shoot me. I kicked his gun out his hand the head butted him in the nose, round house kicked the cop to my left then I shoulder tackled the one coming through the door and then I legged it down the street and across the park near my house, down another street and in an ally way and that's where I am now cuffed, no friends, no family… nothing left in my life but my goal of vengeance…
