SHATTERED

Chapter 13: NOT GOOD…

Marron stared out the window into the dark night. She closed her eyes and inhaled a deep breath of night air. Her parents had been so happy to see her; they didn't even notice she flew home. She chuckled and opened the window higher and stepped out. She glided through the night air, quickly away from her home. She was thirsty, for blood.

*~*~*~*~*~*

His eyes open quickly. He senses something different, something he hasn't sensed in a while. His pointed ears twitch and he stares uncomfortably around. He picks up a scream from further away. He quickly arises from his meditation stance and flies off into the dark night to see if he can find. To see what he can find…

~*~*~*~*~*~

Marron licked her fingers and sighed happily. The blood tasted beautiful. The sweet metallic taste upon her lips and down her throat. It was like an elixir. She stared at the mutilated body that lay before her. The man's throat was ripped open and his veins were hanging out. His clothes were red with blood and there was a grim expression on his face. Set in a frozen frame of horror. She picked up the stiff body and dumped it in the nearby lake. She stared at the reflection of the moon on the water. She heard a shuffle behind her and she turned around. It was Piccolo. He stared at her, emotionless. She looked at him and smiled. "Hey Piccolo," she said. "What have you become Marron?" he asked softly. She licked her teeth. "A creature," she said solemnly. He continued to look at her blankly. "A creature?" he said. She nodded. "A blood sucking creature Piccolo, I thrive on it now, I tried to stop but the cravings just grew stronger, and I gave into them."

He nodded. "You've accepted what you've become?" he asked. She nodded. "Well, I guess there's no going back." Piccolo said. She laughed. "What more could you want Piccolo? I have strength that I never had, I have agility, I have stealth, and I have immortality." She said. "And when will it end? Are you just going to live and watch all your friends and family die? Don't you think they'll notice?" he said. She kicked a stone. "And what about the lives? How many innocent lives are you going to take?" he asked. She looked at him. "Enough as needed." She said. He looked at her. "What happened to you and Trunks?" he asked. She looked away. "I don't want to speak about him right now," she said. "Well I guess I'm of no help here, shall I tell your parents?" he asked. "No! I'll, I'll tell them," she said. He smirked. "Eventually," he said powering up. "If you ever need to talk, don't hesitate." He said. She remained silent. "One more thing, who did this to you?" he asked halting in mid air. She looked up at him. "Byron," she said. He gasped silently and she detected his shock. She smiled slyly. "Know him?" she asked. "I've encountered him a few times," he said. She nodded. "He's managed to elude me though," Piccolo said. She nodded somewhat triumphantly. He blasted off into the dark night. "This is not good…"
