Ch. 2: Great Minds Think Alike

(For those of you about to read this chapter the following content may be unsuitable for those who aren't into this kind of serious shtick so I'd advise not reading the top portion of the chapter or this one at all to be honest. So other than that enjoy.)

While Mike went on to make millions of stolen cash and goods, I later on became the world's most cunning murderer. I murdered tens of hundreds of people worldwide without shame, pity, or remorse ever since I killed the Spies. I told them I did my mission right and when we were caught (due to Mr. Spy's failure to detect a security camera), He ordered for my execution so when I had a fit about it he started to attack me. So I took a knife and stabbed him. He fell so hard on the wooden floor of his bedroom that Mrs. Spy went to see what the matter was. So I took some rope I found and strangled her. After seeing the damage I had caused and only being a little child at the time I didn't know what could have made me do such terrible things. But then I remembered about Darkness and his wicked despicable ways. He was still trying to find a way into my mind, even if it meant I would become a villain in order to do it. I told the butlers and the mistresses what happened and they were shocked yet they didn't call the police. They told me "Go now and never talk about this again. You are now a murderer and a criminal against the law." So I did as they told me to do. Somehow inside I started to change. On that same day too, I stopped smiling. It was too dim and naïve to be taken seriously. I was cold and hungry for days. I searched for scraps to eat and something to drink every day for the next month. Luckily it was April and it wasn't anything to be concerned about at first since I just started my killing spree. Yet what I didn't know what that Darkness was still lingering about in the shadows of the streets I walked in Edmonton. I turned away any foster help that came my way as well as the month progressed into May.

It was as if I was becoming a whole new person. One that wasn't nice or good at all, but one that would forever be cursed by his tormented past. For the next two weeks I felt the urge for death and despair in the lives of people and yet I didn't know why. That's when it happened. I met the next person who would lead me into the life that I know and cherish mostly. One day, I killed the cashier at a local 7-11 in the downtown area of Edmonton because I had to pay for gum and a magazine I stole a few days ago so I knifed him in front of at least 10 people. That's when I knew life was going to get tougher with the police on my tail that is. So as I left the store, a purple figure with black hair appeared in front of me. He appeared in a purple smog and his eyes were dark and cruel like a snakes. He said to me, "Well done. Well done. You really are cold and heartless. I like that in a human being." I replied in curiosity, "Who are you?" He replied saying, "Why the name's Devil my confused friend." (He's called Devil because of his devil/human appearance; he looks a lot like that devil character from Teken Tag Tournament and the Teken series of course.)

It was as if he saw me before. "First off, you're not my friend. I just saw you as I'm coming out of 7 eleven. Second, how in the heck do you know who I am?" He looked at me with a grin and laughed. "Don't you get it? When you killed the Spies a month ago I automatically was summoned from the depths of Earth to see what happened." I looked away with shame a pitiful look. "It figures. No wonder you know who I am. So I guess you're going to call the police, eh?" He again looked at me with a grin. "On the contrary. I want to help you become one of the most evil people on the face of the universe." I didn't know what to expect. So I agreed to go and do as he said. In exchange, he treated like I was a brother to him. We left Edmonton the next day of May 21, 1997 to a beat up abandoned warehouse outside the city where he said the police never searched for any suspects at all. We had a big future together on our hands. What I didn't know was whether I could trust Devil or not. Only time would tell.

(Dark I will say that this chapter is. It is also leading up to a special chapter that will chronicle Victor's time with Devil. I won't give too much away again, but they head on off for a land in which one year is only like one minute on Earth. More to come yet so stay tuned.)
