--Fanfiction-- -FallenAngel-
---Preface---
ADAM Running was the easy part. You feel free, unchained by the rules and regulations of society. I was running as fast as my strength and determination allowed. The wind whipped through my hair, making it cling to my skull. All my thoughts focused on five words: He. Will. Not. Get. Away.
Then, as I came to the park's centre, I saw his silver hair emerge in the distance, the little child cowaring away from his scarred face as she desparately tried to escape her captor. I slowed to a stop and silently hid behind one of the giant oaks that surrounded the moonlit clearing. My eyes never left his scarred reminants of a face, which was streched into a sickly smile.
"Do I frighten you?" My grip was tightening around the branch I held at the sound of his mocking tone. Fury washed over me, sweltering like molten lava.
The child whimpered in hopeless fear. Why was I waiting?! Attack now! Stop this madness!
"Ha! It's thanks to your father that I appear so. He ordered the demolition of the building I was fast asleep in!!" The man took a step towards her knife bared.
Without a moments hesitation, I sprang from my hiding place landing between him and the screaming child. The mans descecrated face twisted into pure fear as I growled baring my teeth.
"Do I frighten you?" I hissed grabbing his throat and squeezing the life out. The knife fell from his weakened grip as he struggled to free himself.
"Stop, please.." The little girl whimpered somewhere behind me.
Granting her wish, and the fiends, I wrung his neck in one sharp movement. He fell to the dew-damp ground with a muffled thump, never to rise again.
Forgetting the fading scent from the dead body, I smoothed my face to a caring, friendly expression. I had probably terrified her more than he did, I thought bitterly. The little girl still lay, clutching her knees as if they would fall off at any second.
"Are you okay, darling?" I winced. She looked at me as if I was the most horrific monster she had ever seen, or dreamed of." There's no need to be afraid. I'm one of the good guys"
I knew it would'nt work as she continued to sobbed loudly. Over her loud cries, I could hear the calls and yells of the her search party, they were headed directly towards the clearing.
"Your father loves you very much, Elenora." I told her quietly. " He's been searching since you first disappeard"
She stopped crying then. And I left, hauling the limp body behind me, in search of somewhere to feed.
