Eternal Suffering

Fuck!

I groaned loudly, irritated after seeing 5 dead bodies on the ground. The sweet, metallic taste of their blood still fresh in my mouth. I had killed them, drained them dry, or at least that’s what it would seem to others. A ruthless monster with only one desire and that was to kill. ‘Ruthless Monster? That’s a bit much don’t you think?’ I let out an annoyed sigh and ignored him. I ignored the beast inside of me, the real reason I was here, standing in front of 5 dead bodies.

They were all laying lifeless on the ground. Their heads had been ripped out and scattered everywhere. Their eyes were opened, the fear still visible on their faces. What he had done was beyond evil, but of course I was to blame. I had let him take full control of my body. I had lead them to their deaths. ‘You’re being a bit dramatic, they are meant to be killed in order for you to survive.’ He voiced and I took a deep breath ignoring him once again.

I needed to focus and find out where I was but first I needed to call my sister and make sure that what ever had happened didn’t reach the king. I took my phone out from inside of my pocket and saw that I had 20 missed calls from her. Fuck, I pressed ‘call back’ right away and she answered on the first ring. “Hello, dear sister.” I greeted trying to act normal. Something must’ve happened for her to call me 20 times. 

“Don’t ‘hello dear sister’ me. Where the hell are you?” She yelled angrily, I rolled my eyes at her tone and looked down at the bodies. She acted as if she was older than me. Constantly yelling and lecturing me. But I wasn’t able to answer her question, I myself had no idea where I was. The bodies were all human. I must’ve been in the human world. That was the only explanation, unless they had trespassed into my own world. 

“I don’t know yet.” I answered, looking around. I was clearly in the woods, that much I could tell. But where exactly, I didn’t know. I could hear cars and people walking and talking to one another from a distance. I needed to figure out where I was, because if it was indeed the human world, then I needed to leave before anyone sees me. 

“What happened?” Haruna questioned, her question had confirmed that I was still safe. She wasn’t aware of what had happened. That 20 missed calls was probably her worrying as usual. If she wasn’t aware of what had happened, neither was the king.

I let out a breath of relief, kicking at the rocks on the ground as I started walking further away from the bodies. If the king had found out about this, my punishment would’ve been way worse. I couldn’t have that happen. I continued walking further until I was no longer in the woods. I needed to keep myself hidden, I’m sure I was covered in blood. I didn’t need people questioning me.

Leaving the dead bodies behind was already risky but I’m sure the police would cover it up once they find them and label the incident as an animal attack. That’s what they’ve always done in order to keep humans from finding out about us. Humans weren’t aware of our existence. They had no idea about our secret world. They were forbidden to enter and if they did, they were to be killed on sight.
