What am I doing?
That was the big question. I was being stupid, I was being reckless. This was not how I did things. What was wrong with me?
I was usually calm and collected. I surveyed the scene and moved accordingly. I did not hesitate when I saw fear in their eyes. I did not flinch when they tried to scream. I did not waver when they cried. They were all just puppets to me anyway.
It had always been this way.
This burning desire that had crawled inside my skull since an early age. My mother had cried when she had seen all the bodies of the dead neighborhood pets. It had not bothered me. For what was the flesh for, other than to bleed?
Society would call me a monster, I would call myself a god. I knew no man made bounds. I ruled my life as the master predator. All humans were underneath me. Why should it matter what they did for a living? Why should it matter if they had crying brats at home. What other purpose did they have except satisfy me?
People were like sheep. Easily manipulated and slaughtered. I was the hunter patrolling the crowds. I was the one who wore the mask hiding the evil underneath. Under my facade of a nice man, lived the demon. Not that anyone ever could tell. When the police always came it was never for me. Who would suspect me? A handsome man with a respectable job. I kept up my persona for the public eye. Nobody ever suspected me of any despicable deeds.
These despicable deeds I loved.
These despicable deeds I craved.
After all, I Edward Cullen, was a serial killer. The blood would flow before I was satiated. My hunger grew each day and each night. I needed this, I had to have this. This moment of bliss. This moment of pure nirvana. The sheep needed their master and I intended to deliver.
In the blink of a eye, it was all over. Protect what is so precious. Because there are people like me, people like us, who prey on the weak. And believe me, we can smell it. We can sense it in the air. We are coming for you. It is survival of the fittest and you are at the bottem of the list.
Sleep with one eye open, and beware, we are closer than you think.
