I crave for fresh red. Blood? No. Fresh red I said.
This is the only reason I killed my mother. And at that time I figured out that blood is more satisfying than red paint from my mother's lab.
I was only 5 when I started to like watching psychopath movies. Their way in every move while hurting and killing people activated my desire to try it too.
It was a cold night of December in it's thirty first, when mom came home a little drunk just like she is used to. It was unusual for today that she came hugging me from my back.
I always depart from her whenever she attemps to touch me. It's like a warning that she may hurt me again.
But it was so unusual that this night she grabbed me earlier than I expected. I sense no danger and gave her a hard tight arms but then I felt her head heavily land on my shoulder.
I immediately let her slide down the floor and rest. I watch her closely and manage to spot a drop of blood behind her neck. It was just similar to the color of paint she always use for flowers in the canvas.
I touched and licked it. The taste was so good I felt like drinking.
Suddenly she opened her mouth and murmured without opening her eyes. "You brat!" she said softly. "You should die!" This time it was louder but her eyes were still closed.
It reminded me of the same words she scold me before slashing a blade to my shoulder and laugh evily. She is always in a better mood after she does that while I feel the indescribeable hurt from my back.
My face saddened. I thought she meant the hug for the first time. She really never loved me. Without a second thought, I ran upstairs to grab a blade from her pencil kit.
As soon as I reached my mothers head. The spot of blood attracted me and that I should cut that part even more to reveal the blood. She does'nt seem bothered by a small cut and I was unsatisfied that the blood flowing has slowly stopped.
She seemed quitely comfortable in her sleep so I did'nt mind and cut a little deeper by her neck. It was the best feeling I have ever experienced as the blood squirted into my face.
The floor is almost covered with blood. Minutes have passed and mom had not yet woken up. But it was good that she does'nt, thinking that she will only serve me cereal in every meal. I did'nt like it. I want to eat something yummy like in the movies.
I had to take my mother's money from the purse to pay the delivery guy who knocked by the door.
He seemed stunned by the look of his face but I did'nt mind and grab the box lying by the door the immediately closed the door.
As soon as I finished a lovely meal, I heard sirens outside.
The police kicked the door. They could've knock so I could open it for them but strange they did'nt. "Is anyone home!" one of them shouted.
Mom said that police are nice so I immediately answered. "Im here"
"Okay, kid. Raise your hands in the air open and slowly walk here", he said as I obliged.
He was holding a gun. The others approached mom and started pumping her chest. I watched this at movies and they only do that if a person stopped breathing.
I cried while an officer carry me away from there knowing that she stopped breathing.
That night, I was taken at the police station. They asked me several questions and what I could only do was answer honestly. Mom told me not to lie.
The looks in the officers faces told me something was wrong.
"Stay here for a minute kid," officer Kyle as he said his name was, ordered me to stay in the room.
They were talking just outside as I stare from the window. They were arguing and their conversation, it likely going the wrong way so I went out.
"He is only a kid"
"He killed her mother, she should be held accountable"
"You dont understand, there must be something he is not telling us"
"Like what?"
"Child abuse"
"Nonsense! I'll dig deeper into this but he must be kept here for further interrogation"
The other officer was like telling me to be in jail. It gave me the feeling to run away from the police station knowing that I killed my mom.
It was my first time walking in the street. The walls were painted messy.
Someone from the dark alley approached me. "Hey kiddo," he said. I did'nt respond but he was scary when he grabbed me fiercefully by his hand as we enter the darken alley.
Then, we meet someone who was supposed to be his friend. They fought a little while Im tied in the chair.
Beside me was a butcher knife filled with blood then as I focused my eyes at the black large bag. A bloody hand has come out a little by the zipper. I was shut thinking what could happen to me.
"We could sell him." The friend of the man suggested as he looked at me who was properly dressed. He must be thinking I was a royalty in this city and was just got lost in the alley. But I was'nt.
"No! we can kill him immediately, we already got a buyer," the other man said.
Kill me? Sell me? What were they doing to me. I managed to slip my hand from the tie and pretended.
They both approached me as I grab the butcher knife and cut the other's thigh. He fell down.
The other man managed to slap me and retrieved the knife. He looked at me angrily while his friend shout in agony.
He then raised the knife in the air and was ready to cut me whole.
Then a sound of gunshot silenced us. A man in a black suit came forward and rather killed them.
Then he carried me in his shoulder and a car approached us.
I stared at them but they seem comfortable with a mask on. They were three including the driver.
As they spoke, I learned that the one who saved me was a young lady judging at her voice.
"Who is that?", a man in black over all suit asked.
"Nothing just leave him alone", she said. She seems nice.
Then it's all quiet until we stopped by a tunnel in an abandoned scrap area. We entered the tunnel. It was so dark that I held the lady's hand to keep walking.
Then after 3 turns, we entered a door. Then a door. Then inside was a beautiful place where people keep their equipments but remained unidentified.
We rode an elevator and reached a floor where I waited with the man while the lady entered a room.
While we sat, I asked the name of the man I am with but he did'nt bother answering. Then, the lady came out and pushed me inside then they left.
A taller and more builded body man confronted me holding a stick.
"What is your name, young man," he asked me.
I could only tell him what he asked me.
Then he asked me again. "Do you want to change it?"
I smiled. I was living sick with this name mom gave me so I nodded.
"What should I call you then," he asked again.
"Niko. Call me Niko," I answered.
After that he pinned me a needle that made me unconcious and fell to the ground.
Niko quickly assembled his gun when a call from his superior, Kana asked him to report at the facility. From a long time of resting he is happy that a new assignment is coming on his way. "Kana girl." Niko greeted his superior as he entered the 13th room. Kana gave him a glare as she started talking. "Jahid Recholak." She said while she project a russian man's face upon the wall. "He has 3 daughters and a young man." When Niko heard 3 daughters he smirked. He is still eighteen and at the stage of romantic growth. "Don't ever think of doing stupid Niko," Kana warned him. "He has a high security with three bodyguards everytime he walks out in the city." Niko did'nt respond immediately, he seemed to be undisturbed by what his superior was discussing about the target. Kana looked at him while she reads his mind. She shook her head. "No, no Niko. Tyler Rack." She then again project another man's face. "He is a highly trained ame
Niko and Reca are now sitting on one table facing each other. Niko was so excited in talking to this new girl he just met. "Hi, I am Niko," he said. He insisted on taking the fist move for this loveable conversation as what of he presume it is. But to his surprise, Reca was not interested and is giving him an attitude. "Im sorry Niko but don't you think this is quite embarassing to me?" Reca complained. Niko was dismayed for he at least thought the girl would compliment that he would pay Reca's salary in double just they would talk to each other. Or at least be interested in him for he appeared as an innocent and a handsome teenager just like her. "No, what's the problem? I just want to talk to you," Niko replied. "Okay, I am Reca. Im still 18. Im not into relationships as well as dating anyone. And right now, I am feeling uncomfortable for what you are doing," Reca said. Her mouth was dried she took those words seriously fast and with no
Niko was not supposed to say that and luckily a guy, turned on the television news. It is currently broadcasting a murder of Prince Jahid and three princesses who are currently present in the palace courts. The news said that there is a current investigation and the whole city will be in a total lockdown for the meantime. Now, Niko is really trapped since they will stop international travel from this city. After they ate, Niko insisted to take the girls home. "I should take you home," Niko said to both of them. "Yeah that would be better," Reca agreed this time. Niko firstly took Lesha home so he could solo Reca. After Lesha said her goodbye, they drove off. "Hey, what do you know about me," Reca asked Niko. She took the initiative to ask about her secret Niko had almost spilled. "I should be the one asking you Reca. What are you hiding?" Reca did not answer Niko, instead she asked him again. "Tell me wh
Niko came back to the 13th room. His body were crying blood especially his shoulder which was razored. "Kana!" Niko called out to his superior. Kana recieved him and put him on the chair. She was so calmed while she begun to treat Niko's wounds. "Did you see him?" Kana asked. "Damn it Kana! Why the fuck would you sent me in there!" Niko shouted. He is angry for Kana had not warned him or at least tell a background of the place he entered. "What happened? Did you attacked him?" "Attacked him? I was the one he attacked!" Niko shouted again. "He could be a cunning man. He must've liked you," Kana explained. "Liked me? Kana. You don't understand. He wants to kill me!" "Shussh," Kana stopped Niko from blabbering when she had sensed that something is wrong and Niko is weird. After she finished treating the wounds she asked Niko to leave and find a place to sleep tonight. "It is not sa
Niko held the gun for a minute, he does not know what Jacob had violated in the chamber rules but he had been ordered by his master to kill him. He held the gun and pointed to Jacob. Without hesitation, he shot Jacob. Fell and dead. An old woman came out from nowhere and dragged the body into the burning furnace, where Jacob burnt into ashes. The old woman returned to where she came from and was nowhere to be seen. The act was fast. "Who is that?" Niko asked Cryp. But Cryp did not answer him. He patted Niko's back. "Good job!" he said. "Your first order had been properly executed." They walked out in the room and went up to Cryp's chamber. They drank coffee while Cryp discuss. "Robert Juseff." Cryp projected a man's face on the wall. "The committe had ordered his family to be executed including him," he said to Niko. Niko had not said a word. He still listens and never interrupted his master. "Do
Niko cannot show his emotion. He would act proffesionally and go with the flow. He cannot spoil it. As if the day had turned night. He went back immediately back at his apartment after their date was over. "He had another daughter?" Niko asked himself. He grabbed the laptop. "No. He had another wife." He gasped again. Neither of this was correct but he needs to confirm. Reca should not be one of them. "Not you. Please," he slowly whispered on his own. He dedicated the whole day for this work. He plans to pay the nanny for a visit tomorrow. Saturday is better. The sun was still yet to come but Niko was determined to travel to the nearby province to find the nanny. He must not waste a second. He drove fast and left the city. It was four hours of time until he reached the ground. It was a private lot where he parked his car. Before leaving his car, he disguised himself with a shady hair and a fake face. He appear
"This is Thomas, you will be in his care for the time being." Richard once again introduced Niko to Reca. "But that is not-" before Reca could say another word, Niko talked. "Nice to meet you Miss. Please assure your safety for I am with you," Niko blurted out. "Sure Thomas." Reca glanced at Niko while yes she had to act it that way. She wants to talk to Niko after this. They kept on stealing each other's eyes while they were on dinner. Richard had been sensing awkwardness between them. "Sorry, do you know each other?" Richard asked them. Niko answered fast. "No sir." Then Niko would take a look at Reca on a straight gaze manner. "I think your sister is very beautiful." "Yeah Richard. You did not say this guy would be this handsome and cute." Reca said on the other side. They were teasing each other as the whole family laughed, enjoying this moment. "Perfect, you m
Niko went to fetch Reca from school and made their way to an expensive dressing shop. "Find yourself a good dress Reca," Niko ordered her. "Sure I will be." Reca smiled and tried her first pick. As she come out from the dressing room, she was as beautiful as she is but Niko was not convinced. "You look good," he only said. "Maybe I should try another one." Reca said when he saw Niko disappointed. After mulitple times of suiting the dresses. The staff who was watching them offered. "Maybe you should try something," the staff said. Reca smiled. "Like what?" she asked. "Wait for me." Reca gave Niko a smile of excitement while Niko shruggged his shoulders. "Maybe it will suit you better," Niko said smiling to Reca. After a while, the staff came back holding a fabulous white dress in her hands. "O my!" Reca gasped as she wiggled her head smoothly. She liked it. "Let's take this
