Chapter 2: A New Friend
Beck Oliver, Courtyard
When Beck's new neighbor moved right on in, Beck grabbed a small kitchen knife and stuffed it in his coat pocket. His mother told him it was cold outside and to wear extra sweaters if he was going outside. She knew he had no friends as far as she could tell, he never did bring any boys to his home. If it was a girl instead of a boy, that's where she drew the line. She didn't mind if a boy came over to play, talk or even wrestle, but a girl could influence him to do things boys just couldn't do.
Beck walked outside his building to go find a tree nearby, in the center of the courtyard was a picnic table and two rock spheres. They were a part of a statue that was constructed in the 50's but which was now all but gone, except for those two remnants. Beck looked all around him and checked to see if someone was looking at him. When the coast was cleared, He pulled out his kitchen knife and started approaching a tree like he was mugger.
"Hey Marcus…you scared now? What was that….I couldn't hear you! What the fuck you do you think about me now!" Beck said out loud, he stabbed the tree five, six times repeatedly. He paused and stood still, he felt somebody was behind him…watching him. He turned slowly and saw that it was the new girl who moved in next door to him, she was standing on the picnic table wearing the same thing as when she moved in. they looked into each other's eyes for a moment when the new girl spoke.
"What are you doing?" she asked quietly and curiously.
"Nothing…what are you doing?" Beck decided to ask her the same thing.
""Nothing…" she answered him.
Beck continued on with his own question, "you just moved in huh"
"How do you know that?" she wondered.
"I live right next door to you, I saw you and your dad moving in just now" She stared at Beck for a bit and hopped off the picnic table and told him, "I'm telling you right now…I can't be your friend"
Beck thought that was an odd thing to say when first meeting someone, his initial reaction was quick. "Why not?" he told her, he really hoped she was just joking, but by the heavy look on her face she wasn't.
"That's just the way it is…" the strange girl said. nothing more and walked back into the building, Beck put his knife back into his coat pocket and shouted "Like I want to be friends with you anyway…Idiot" he whispered the last part, hoping she wouldn't hear it. He walked back into his building to get some sleep.
Forest, 12:00pm (5miles away from Forest Lake)
Holding on to a rifle with both hands, an old man wearing a skull face mask crept carefully past some brushes and took position near some trees. By the way he held his gun, he was a skilled hunter. His mask had eye holes so he could look into the scope of his rifle. He waited for some large wild game to pass by, he knew game wasn't what "she" needed tonight but it was all he could provide till he got the right materials. A large buck came walking into view of the man's vision, he aimed the crosshairs on the buck's head and took his time.
He put some pressure on his rifle's trigger and fired, The loud bang sent birds and canaries of all types flying out of their tree homes. Their flying sent snow that had gathered on the branches to fall on the animal and man. The hunter came with a suitcase that had a scalpel, bottles and machete.
He used the machete to cut open the buck's jugular, he used the bottles to collect the animal's blood. He took out a cigarette and lit it up, he replaced full bottles with empty ones. While he bled the animal dry, he used the scalpel and made cuts on the buck's body to simulate cuts that a mountain lion would on it's prey. When the bottles were filled and the animal being dead as a log, the man closed the bottles with its caps and put everything back in his suitcase. He left the animal where it laid for any bear or puma to feed on, he really didn't care.
Lake Forest Park, 2:00pm
Beck slept soundly when he was awoken by screams next door, it sounded like the new girl and her dad were fighting. Beck rubbed his eyes and stood up from his bed, he pressed his ear on the wall and listened on.
"What the fuck is wrong with you!? You know what animal blood does to me!" it sounded like a female to Beck, but she had quite the deep voice for someone who looked young.
"I'm sorry…it wasn't a bear or wolf like last time, that was my mistake. Look we can't start doing things normally so quickly, it's a small neighborhood and word gets around really qui-"
"I Don't Care!…I have to do everything myself again!" The second voice sounded like the father, the new girl was very upset to interrupt him as he spoke. What was it that they were talking about, whatever it was it involved blood and animals. Beck kept listening when the sound of their front door opened and closed shut. There was only silence next door, he was tired and went back to his bed to get some shut eye.
Maybe tomorrow if he sees her again he'll ask her what the whole commotion was about, now he just wanted to catch up on some Z's.
(!) "More Chapter coming soon."
