Welcome to the second chapter of my story. I hope you enjoy.

Chapter 2: The Binge Eater

It was the Sunday after the incident with Teruya during lunch. I was walking home from the park which I had decided to visit for nostalgic reasons. It was already dark out and all the lights of the city were on giving it a beautiful glow, so I decided to take the scenic route home.

As I was walking, I let my mind drift off to the recent news about ghouls. I recalled the news people conversing about the binge eater ghoul. Nobody knew what the binge eater looked like. Just that they were eating way more than they needed to.

"Creepy." I muttered under my breath before looking around to see where I was. I caught sight of a street sign after a moment of looking around. I immediately froze in my tracks. "This is where those ghoul attacks have been happening." I whispered to myself. "I must have made a wrong turn at some point." I say in a quiet voice before continuing my walk knowing a surefire route home from here.

As I am walking I notice voices up ahead. I sped up to a jog before stopping when I'm able to see and hear where the voices are originating from. It's not one voice, it's four voices. There is a blond haired girl walking with a blue haired girl, and then there's Kaneki who is talking with a pink haired girl at the entrance to a dark alleyway type street that diverges from this street. "this way." I hear the pink haired girl say as she Indicates to the dark alley street. Kaneki nods his head before he leads the way down the dark alley street with the pink haired girl following close behind him.

This sends a red flag through my mind, but I push it away thinking that it's just Kaneki walking his girlfriend home or something. Then I notice the blue haired girl from earlier stop walking before glaring at the pink haired girl. "Something wrong Touka?" Said the blonde haired girl after she noticed her friend, the blue haired girl now known as Touka, had stopped walking. "No." Touka answered before resuming walking with her blonde haired friend. This again sends another red flag through my mind. Why would a girl I've never seen lead someone I kinda know through a dark alley street that's part of an area that's known to be where recent ghoul attacks have occurred? Why would the Touka girl stop walking before glaring at the pink haired girl? It all just seemed strange to me, so I decided to follow Kaneki and the pink haired girl.

I try to look as inconspicuous as possible as I slip into the dark alley street after kaneki and the pink haired girl. I follow from a safe distance all the way until they stop. I hide in the shadows as the pink haired girl comes to stand in front of Kaneki. I can only just barely hear them speak, but As I listen I start to feel guilty about following them since they're just talking about how they want to see each other again, how they have similar tastes in books, how they are the same age, how they have been watching each other, and how they like each other.

I watch as they embrace each other in a hug, and I am just about to leave before something very, very bad happens. As Kaneki and the pink haired girl are hugging I notice a red mist coming from the back of the pink haired girl. Suddenly a red tentacle comes from her back and comes to a stop in front of Kaneki's eye before her head shoots up as her eyes change to have red irises with black sclera, and then her head shoots back down again before biting Kaneki on the shoulder with a sickening squelch and crunch. As she bites Kaneki's shoulder the tentacle vaporizes into red mist. I watch in horror as she lifts her head from Kaneki's shoulder with a bright smile on her face.

Kaneki falls back and lands on the ground causing blood to spill from his shoulder as the pink haired ghoul licks her bloodied lips. He gasps in short breaths as he looks up at the ghoul who just bit him. The ghoul starts saying how she loves ripping the organs out of people who are to scared to run away. She brings her face down to kaneki as four red tentacles emerge from her back before swinging her tentacles wildly through the air. Kaneki scrambles to his feet and tries to run away as the female ghoul laughs, her tentacles swinging wildly. The ghoul then shoots one of her tentacles forward and grabs onto one of kaneki's legs before dragging him back to her with Kaneki screaming the whole time. "You can't run from me SILLY." The pink haired she-ghoul says before Kaneki grabs a pen off the ground that fell out of his pocket, and tries to stab the ghoul with it. The ghoul blocks with one of her red tentacles and the pen bends into a 90 degree angle. Immediately Kaneki scrambles up and tries to run away again. The ghoul surprised by the bold move stands still for a moment before coming back to her senses. She lets a small sadistic smile form on her face as she sends two of her red tentacles after Kaneki, and impales him through his side from right to left. The ghoul then swings Kaneki around before throwing him into a wall. Kaneki slams into the wall, demolishing it as he's sent straight through it. The pink haired ghoul casually walks through the newly created hole in the wall before disappearing in a cloud of dust. As soon as the ghoul disappeared into the cloud of dust my instincts started telling me to run and get out of there, but despite what my instincts tell me, I follow the female ghoul through the hole while still hiding in the shadows. Kaneki managed to struggle to his feet before attempting to limp away. "I'm coming for you, Kaaaaaneki." The ghoul laughs out as she jumps from the cloud of dust towards Kaneki. The she-ghoul landed just behind Kaneki and immediately grabbed one of Kaneki's arms and one of his legs and his torso with her red tentacles. I watched the ghoul laugh as she impales Kaneki multiple times with those red tentacles, sending blood spurting everywhere before dropping him to the ground causing blood to fly from his mouth. "What fun, wow I've really made a mess of you, haven't I." Says the ghoul. "Uh oh, it looks like you died on me." The pink haired ghoul pouted. "Ah that's to bad, I was hoping you would last a little longer." The female ghoul said disappointedly.

"NNNNNOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed, suddenly running towards the ghoul without thinking, a combination of fear, anger, and sadness in my eyes. "Oh, who's this interrupting my meal?" Moans out the pink haired she-ghoul. "I knew I smelled another human nearby. She says with excitement, gazing at me as I ran at her from the shadows with my fists raised in the air. "I think you will make a pleasant addition to my dinner." She said with bloodlust in her voice before swinging her red tentacles around wildly. The ghoul then shoots one of her red tentacles at me and grabs onto one of my legs before dragging me towards her. This caused me to trip and fall onto my back, and I immediately rolled onto my stomach before trying to grip at the ground as I'm dragged towards the ghoul while screaming at the top of my lungs. "Look at what we got here." Said the she-ghoul with glee as I grabbed a pen out of my pocket before using it to try and stab the ghoul. She blocks with one of her red tentacles and the pen bends into a 90 degree angle. I immediately scramble to my feet before trying to run away. The ghoul stands still in surprise at the boldness of my move for a moment before coming back to her senses. She lets her small sadistic smile reform on her face before chasing after me. I'm already running down the dark alley street, running as fast as I can. The female ghoul arrives in the dark alley street before looking at me as I run away. "Did you really think you could get away!" Yelled the ghoul as she sends two of her red tentacles after me, and impales me through my side from right to left. The ghoul then swings me around before throwing me into a different spot on the same wall. I slam into the wall, demolishing it again as I'm sent straight through it. The pink haired she-ghoul casually walks through the latest, newly created hole in the wall. I managed to struggle to my feet before attempting to limp away. "Did you really think you had a chance boy?" the ghoul laughed out before leaping towards me with a mad look on her face. The ghoul landed right behind me before using her red tentacles to grab hold of one of my arms and one of my legs and my torso as well. Then the ghoul started impaling me multiple times, over and over with those red tentacles. The pain was immeasurable. I felt every tentacle as they impaled me, blood spurting from each wound as the ghoul laughed with sadistic glee.

The ghoul lifted me up to meet her face to face. "Oh, will you let me have a bite, my dear?" The she-ghoul moaned out before biting me on the shoulder with a sickening squelch and crunch. "Oh my, you taste so delicious, just like the other human over there." She said after lifting her head from my shoulder with a bright smile on her face, relishing in the taste of my blood and flesh as blood spilled from my shoulder's new bite wound. The ghoul dropped me onto the ground next to where Kaneki sat either unconscious or dead on the ground, causing blood to fly from my mouth. My vision was blurring in and out, but I managed to clearly see the pink haired ghoul as she licks her bloodied lips. All I could hear was a faint ringing and the muffled voice of the ghoul standing over me and Kaneki as she said something about how she was going to enjoy the taste of digging into our tender flesh. "So this is how it ends huh." I think to myself before large steel beams come crashing down on top of the female pink haired ghoul in front of me and Kaneki, crushing her and spraying her blood everywhere just as everything goes black.
