Normal.
Chapter 1: Rescue.
I am not normal.
I will never be normal though I long to be normal….This is my life. Every night I go out into the woods waiting for someone to walk by, and then I eat their soul. It seems the nicer the person is the more sweet and delicious they taste, In fact I wouldn't say I 'eat' them… I couldn't…I would put it as something like, consume. I wish I could have a face, friends, a wife, kids and all the normal things every normal person has. But then I remember I am not normal.
However it was a normal night that changed everything.
I had been waiting for my next meal to walk down the pathway when a young girl ran past me, un-aware of my presence. She was crying and was out of breath, she was being chased by someone. Moments later a small group of teenagers ran in the same direction...
"Get back here you little bitch!" They shouted.
The little girl looked back to see if they were still chasing her, as she did she fell over.
"We've got her now guys!" The teenager laughed.
"P-please don't hurt me. I-I'm sorry." She cried.
"I'm sorry ain't gonna bring my soda back!" One of the teenagers scowled.
They grabbed her by the arm and began to twist it, she screamed in pain. I'm not a complete monster, although there is no denying I am in fact a monster whether I act like one or not, and so I walked up behind the teenagers. The little girl stopped screaming and her eyes met mine…she knew I was behind the teenagers, however the bullies were too busy trying to snap her arm off.
"This girl's a freak! Ha! She's not even crying!" They laughed.
"What? Awww…has the little girl saw a ghost?" they mocked.
I smirked under my pale mask of flesh, the bullies turned around and gasped at my appearance.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT THING?!" They screamed in horror.
They dropped the little girl and tried to run…but no one can escape me. My tendrils shot at them, each one holding them still as a sucked out their souls. Disgusting. Why do the bad ones always taste so vile?! They screamed in pain as the very life inside them was consumed by me, the little girl was frozen with fear as she watched them die.
I can read minds and as I read the young girls I knew she took some pleasure in watching the teenagers in pain, I also knew that she had been chased by the scoundrels before. I had finished them off and I turned back to look at the girl…"should I eat her?" I thought. After all of that I decided to just erase her memory, it would be a waste to just kill her after I saved her.
"I'll make sure to see her again…soon…" I laughed… although like I said I can't speak or laugh, so everything I said seems to be false. Ha.
However, I was curious as to what her age may be.
"I'm sure she's eight or something like that. Oh well." I thought.
