So, yeah. Not my usual thing but I hope you enjoy it. It was fun to do something a bit different.

I don't own Being Human.

Evil's Last Hurrah

I can feel it happening. At first it was faint, subtle, indistinct like the early symptoms of a disease. The boredom has been here for a while, the feeling that I needed something to change. Then I found myself dwelling on kills for just a little longer, wanting to know their names, remembering their faces. Then there were those little twinges, pangs of guilt for victims long dead. And now, I recognise it for what it is. For it's happened before. I know how it's going to play out. First it's the boredom, then the guilt, then the shame, the self-loathing and then finally the punch line: mercy.

I do not tend to think about the future very much, I find if you do then it can give you a headache, perhaps even drive you insane. There is no certainty for an immortal, no light at the end of the tunnel, just an endless road, stretching out past the horizon and you have no idea when it is going to come to an end. It could be an inconceivable amount of time before the road ends or it might be no time at all. But you won't be able to see it coming, no matter how hard you look. That is why I find it more sensible to focus on the present, take each day as it comes, live in the moment, not dwell on the future. Although lately I haven't been doing that.

I can see the end of my road, at least the road that I am on at the moment. It's there. That ending. That part when everything changes. I don't know how long it will take me to get there but something about my future is certain. It's coming. I can see it and I'm glad, glad that I know it's on it's way. For it has given me a chance to make plans. I shall not allow myself to just fade away, disappear into something else. I'm going to go out with a bang.

I shall find myself a man. A good man, with a bright future ahead of him before he reaches the end of his road. I shall find him and I shall take that future away from him. I will destroy him, burn any bridges that he has to humanity so that all that is left is me. I will fill his head with ideas and dreams and ambition and nonsense about being a history maker and he will believe me, he will lap it up because it will be all he has left. I will make him think that he is a disappointment when in truth he is doing exactly what I want him to do. It will eat him up inside that he never seems to be accomplishing anything until he resembles nothing of the human he once was. He will be craven and cunning and deceitful and evil and then my masterpiece will be finished.

He will stay with me. I shall make him dependent, so he will stay. Forever. And when the time comes, when I reach the end of my road and that new man steps out of the wings I shall say 'Bring him on' because my masterpiece will always be there as a reminder of who I really am.

If you look closely at the expression on Hal's face when (in 'Making History') Cutler is telling him of his plan in the night club and says "I'm not just doing this for the Old Ones, I'm doing it for you, I wanted to make you proud, be a history maker." I think Hal is thinking "Really? You're still going on about that? That was just a joke!" So that's what gave me the idea really.

Reviews very welcome.
