The Car Was No Longer Warm and Dry...
Indulgence: the Cannibal named Nathaniel pt. 3
"Li... Calm down. Are you saying you're keeping something from me?", Ailes asked. Slowly she was becoming scared.
"Ailes... Li stopped being friends with Amber because Amber was keeping secrets about Nathaniel... Even from her.", Lo' muttered.
XxXxX
"It's been a week since I had anything delicious that you help me cook...", Nathaniel groaned.
"Don't tell me... You tried to kill Li next...", Amber then growled.
"Yes... but I have found a more easier to hunt down boy. But first, let me make sure you remember why I did this... Remember Mom and Dad? I never wanted you to forget why they're gone... They were hurting the both of us... but not anymore...", Nathaniel muttered.
"This is the anniversary of our parent's death... the people you killed because they were supposed to protect us...", Amber then muttered.
"Correct. Let's start by getting things out of the way... like your nails... They're so well taken care of... but they're in the way of your job.", Nathaniel then groaned.
Amber then saw that Nathaniel set a nail removing device up just for her. She began to cry, as she knew Nathaniel was punishing her for not obtaining Ken.
As each nail was getting removed, Amber screamed. She wished it would all end. But that wasn't enough.
"Castiel tried to fight with me today. Unlike when Lynn Darcy stopped it, I was able to win. Castiel is a delicious reward, right?"
Amber began to puke. Castiel's head was in the refirgerator. Nathaniel began to dissect it, and Amber couldn't look anymore. She can't believe she was seeing Castiel dead. Her crush at school, was now demolished by Nathaniel.

Li was scared. She had no idea Ailes would know.
"Nathaniel... wants to eat... Ken?", Ailes gasped.
"Yes. Apparently, Ken has a love for sweets. Nathaniel assumes he'll taste sweet too because of it.", Lo' replied.
"I thought that snooty brat hated sweets.", Ailes then laughed.
"He likes ham...", Lo' then smiled.
"That's disgusting.", Dakota then groaned.
"We have to comfront him to stop this...", Ailes then hissed, standing up.
"Settle down, now. We aren't even sure if any of this is true.", Lysander then muttered.
"You don't believe me, don't you.", Lo' then asked, glaring at Lysander.
"Cannibalism is a taboo, yes... but why would a man highly devoted to his school do such a thing?"
"Maybe to 'help make this school a better place'. He must be sick and tired of all these cliques we build.", Dakota then muttered.
"So what? They have them in every high school. If he doesn't want people to be different and not like the school, that's his problem.", Ailes then groaned.
"Lysander... My father was investigating a case where his parents were killed. He later found evidence pointing to him. But nobody would believe he would do it. He was sent to jail for false accusation. Nobody wants to suspect an Honors student that is class president to do such a thing. But how will you explain the disappearance of all our other classmates?". Lo' then cried, before running off.
"I must apologize. I did not expect her to feel any rage against my objection.", Lysander blushed, feeling it was wise to feel sorry for a misunderstood girl.
"You better, gramps. She may like your old-school love tactics.", Ailes teased.
XxXxX
Lo' sat in her car... She then saw Lysander run to see her. He knocked on her window.
"Miss, are you okay?"
"Please believe me... I can't go on hearing my father was wrong anymore.", Lo' cried.
"Don't cry. It was my fault for not knowing those things.", Lysander muttered.
Lo' looked at Lysander, "I had a crush on you at school."
"Huh?"
"My real name is Andromeda Cephei. I sit behind you in Literature class.", Lo' blushed.
"So you're the one whose parents were from Greece?"
"Yes.", Lo' blushed.
"I'm learning too much from you.", Lysander blushed back.
"Yet you still don't know much about me.", Lo' smiled.
Lysander looked and saw Nathaniel's car drive by. There he was, with Amber. He then remembered this was Ken's house... and Nathaniel was still after him.
"Let's go warn Ailes. Now.", Lo' told Lysander.
"Right.", Lysander muttered.
XxXxX
Like a horror film, Nathaniel would have an axe and would be cutting down the door with it. Though, instead, he was trying to pry his hand in the house, after Lysander slammed his fingers on the door.
"Let me in, you guys! I only wanted to tell Ken to get well soon! Nothing more! Honest!", Nathaniel cried.
"Lies... All Lies...", Lo' muttered.
"Lo' told us everything.", Ailes then muttered.
Nathaniel saw Ailes was keeping a close eye on Ken's door, and soon, she was walking closer.
"Stay out of this house... You're not allowed here."
"Well, Ken's father is at work. I should see that cookie-eating pig alone!", Nathaniel then growled as he kicked the door open.
Dakota ran behind Ailes as backup. Nathaniel began to choke Ailes, but Dakota tried to stop him. It was a serious stuggle.
"You ***dumpster! You little slut! You and your boy toy are in the way... Maybe if I kill the both of you, I can finally get my prize.
Lysander slipped Ailes an envelope opener. She stuggled to pick it up as Nathaniel was holding her neck still.
She slit Nathaniel's abdomen with it.
Nathaniel gasped and coughed. He was in pain.
Art got a double barrelled shotgun from Ken's cupboard. His father had those, as he was not only a war veteran, but he also hunted.
"S-st-Stop. What are you doing?", Nathaniel gasped.
"What my dear father taught me was that rabid dogs have to be put to sleep.", Art muttered.
Lysander and Lo' helped Art hold the rifle steady.
"I am not a dog...", Nathaniel hissed.
"Why not? Your sister's a bitch.", Art said after gulping and pulling the trigger.
Nathaniel's head laid dead.
"W-we could be arrested for this...", Dakota gasped traumatized.
"I gotta comfort Ken... Ailes muttered, she slowly catched her breath.
"Amber is in the car...", Lysander muttered.
XxXxX
"Thank you... Thank you all...", Amber cried, hugging Li.
"Amber, we are sorry for your loss...", Lysander muttered.
"Sorry? That bastard killed mom and dad! Sure they were abusive parents... but what he did was farfetched and not only that but... he turned into a monster... and I have too..."
"Amber... I know we hate you and wish you dead, especially now that you have done what you did... But is there any way we can help you?", Ailes muttered.
"Kill me...", Amber cried.
"Amber?", Li cried.
"Do it. I don't want to be a girl without a family anymore! I want to be like Ailes... like Ken... Like all of you...", Amber cried.
"Amber... Don't wish death on yourself...", Lo' began to cry too.
"Why not? I killed all those students... and for what? To feed Nathaniel!"
Art decided to shoot her rifle again.
"Good night sweet princess..."
Amber looked at Art, "Good night... sweet prince."
"May your dreams be much better.", Art smiled. She pulled the trigger.
Amber fell down... but she didn't get up.
XxXxX
Ken finally returned to school again. As always, he was holding Ailes arms in the hallways.
"Hey Li!", Ailes smiled.
Li turned to Ailes.
"Hi. About the first time we met... I-"
"Don't be. You were just a rich girl back then.", Ailes smiled.
Maybe yesterday, when Li was with Ailes... She may have done nothing... but at least Ailes has respect for her now.
"Ummm... Ailes... There's a geek on your arm.", Li then muttered.
Ailes gave Li a noogie, "C'mon now Li! You're not that girl anymore!"
Li was now one of Ailes' friends; a rare opportunity for girls like her... and Amber.
"What did you do with Amber and Nathaniel?", Li then whispered in her ear.
"Lo' didn't like her car anymore. So she decided to drive it into the ocean, and then push it down there. I guess she didn't want Amber and Nathaniel to be seen dead like that.", Ailes whispered back.
They turned around to see Lo' with Lysander now.
"Can you believe that girl! The only cute boy left in this school and she has him!", Li then pouted.
"Well, she is rich, just like gramps over there.", Ailes grinned.
"Why do you call him that?", Li asked.
"Well, he dresses like an old man, he acts like he's a Century behind... It's as clear as water, sugar.", Ailes smiled as she then carried Ken in her arms.
Li felt odd seeing Ailes with Kentin... but why?
THE END?
XxXxX
I may make a sequel of this.
