November 25, 2019
I woke up as my alarm clock went off as the song "You Might Be the Killer" by Harlo from the same title of the movie, today was November 25 yesterday the police found no nothing about the incident in the mansion, there were only three more days for the Thanksgiving Feast. I just hope that nothing bad happens because lately I haven't been injured or hurt and caught it scares me more than bugs and bees, which I jump out of bed as soon as I saw a small cockroach on the blanket and jump out of bed and shake my cover as I saw the little bastard runoff. As I was saying I hope nothing bad happens to me, I finally found true love and he was the cutest fox I ever met. I wonder how he will feel if he discovers if I was 2 years younger than him and more brave and violent.
As I clean my warehouse I ponder what to wear for today, I also had to be at the mall helping with the Thanksgiving decorations and black Friday settings, that was near the park and when I meant near I meant right in front of the park as going through the park was the only way to enter the mall, around 9:10 a.m. once I finished cleaning I headed to get dressed for the day as I got an idea as to what to wear I look at myself in the mirror and admire my body, for a male I have a rather feminine scrawny build to it. However there was this feeling I couldn't get out of my head a feeling of caution "Zachary you feel it, don't you?" I heard Hush whisper in my head and turn to look at my bed where I saw the voices dressed in different clothing and colorful and looking quite cartoon-like a cartoon, they look like looney tunes cartoons, which another thing me and Mike and the others enjoy watching despite playing poker, video games, golf, etc. I nodded at his words I went towards another part of the warehouse and open a door which had my workroom and I grab a wicked cruel wielded knife that looks had rusted metal and ragged edges and looks like a foldable barber's knife a cruel weapon made of rusty metal and a finely crafted handle, as this feeling grew more.
The day was peaceful, so peaceful, and animals were having fun and laughing living on in their happy lives, not knowing that another serial killer lives among them. I made towards the mall while playing with my claws as I drag one of them with the others again feeling while using my phone with the other and put in one of my favorite songs "Miss me to Death" by Refus Rex as I dance to the beat and song to it not caring if I received weird looks just like the first day I arrived "You sure in a good mood today." I heard Nutty told me in a crazed tone more than Looney; those two voices were both insane, one more than the other, Hush, on the other hand, was malevolent and smooth and Romeo was kind and loving.
"I sure am, today I get to help Mike set up the decorations, and Sheila and Darell are tugging along with us, plus with all the explosion and dead bodies of that goat, which is now BARBACOA." I quietly talked to myself, bursting out laughing as more animals raised their eyebrows again, not caring what others thought of me but that feeling was getting stronger, I ignored it.
The mall was alive with shoppers, laughter, fun and work with animals of all ages were having a fun time, I made my way towards the stairs where Mike worked at the same camping store now without that Donkey the store was way better and peaceful and Mr. Wise and Iron were pleased that their customers didn't have to deal with him any more a sinister smile formed on my lips remembering David's mangled corpse. I walked happily towards the store my manager at the supermarket was nice enough to give me some days off for Thanksgiving he's a saltwater crocodile who is cranky but really softy, as soon as I opened the door I was greeted by a happy fox shouting my name jumping into my arms as I wrap my arms around his waist, his soft paws on my chest as he giggles "How is my little pup doing?~" I asked teasing him in a teasing manner with a sly grin on my muzzle as he responded with a shy flirty tone, so adorable. "I'm doing good my handsome strong hybrid~" I closed my eyes and lean on as I kissed him on the lips of his, I could hear his tail wagging as we pulled apart, from our makeup session I hear Mr. Wise cough and gave us a look that read 'get a room you two' and we saw some of the employees giggling and gasping and Darell and Sheila whispering excitingly well until Darell grumble and pay Sheila twenty bucks.
"Let's get to work, sweetie.~" I said as I boop him on the nose and the only giggle some more, we break our embrace and started working on helping set the decorations on the mall, however, I couldn't stop thinking of his safety and the safety of the others as I saw them setting up a banner a sad smile forming on my lips and tears threatening to build up, only a small tear fall crying was disgusting for me. No tears but why me? "Mike my boyfriend, I love you with all my heart just like you do but I can't help thinking. Will you love me if you found out who I truly was? Will you be afraid of me? Sheil, you admire as your friend inspires you a lot. You told me what you wanted to be and I persuaded you to follow your dreams. Darrell, my wisecracking friend who I see as another brother, what will your reaction be if you find out what I did?"... then I saw Officer Ricardo giving a lecture about Black Friday sales to some of the security guards and employees "...then there's you Officer Ricardo Garcia, who is determined to bring me to justice even though you have covered up for me, once we talked in letters you almost agree with my methods but why?" I snapped myself out of these thoughts as I remember what the voices told me and the morality of not caring what others think of me.
I was helping to fix some posters and hanging some decorations, everything was normal, we laughed and teased each other like children of our age did until we heard heavy footsteps and heard a deep gruff voice that made everyone stop "Zachary Brighten?" a Red Rhino asked me as I climbed down the latter, with scissors still in hand and that feeling of...tension, danger, cautious grew.
"That's me, who wants to know?" I asked which only caused him to grin at me and pull out a desert eagle on me, our eyes widened but for me even more.
"Robert sends his regards." Before he could shoot me I threw the scissors at his right shoulder causing him to clutch it in pain, I tackled him out of the railing causing to fire his weapon scaring some animals as we both went over the railing as we broke it and causing us to fall to the second floor. I heard Mike scream my name as a crowd of animals looked in shock and confusion along with horror, we both groaned in pain from the fall, how we didn't break a bone is a miracle the rhino recover first and I barely avoided a stomp that will have surely squish my insides out, I rolled out of the wall and quickly got up "I'm gonna enjoy killing you, with my bare paws, or run you over with my horn, I also heard you were strong I doubt a scrawny guy like you could cause him so much trouble." He taunted as he cracked his knuckles and put on some brass knuckles with spikes, oh come on!! How is that fair!?
"It's your funeral." I simply said and with that, we walked towards each other with the intention of killing each other in the most brutal way ever. He threw a right punch in which I dodge just in time, I strike at his chest but he just smirks "Oh shit." I said as my punch did nothing and he grabbed me by my left leg and swung me towards the floor as I painfully rolled in "ouch, laid off the steroids big guy." I said as I cracked my back, that it really hurts. I took out my knife and smiled wickedly at him, he only grew and changed at me with the intent of driving his horn through me. I dodge but not before cutting him at his sides he only flinches and falls down in pain he punches the floor and went into a boxing stand, I didn't know martial arts, or boxing or any fighting style but I still learn how to fight in my own way, he started throwing punches besides this isn't the first time I fought a rhino.
You are going to pay for killing my cousin you bastard!!!" He shouted angrily, wait that Rhino that I killed with a chainsaw was his cousin? well fuck, I wince in pain as I felt one of the spikes cut my arms and shoulder as I received tiny but painful cuts every time he swung at me, he was trying to drive the spikes into me but I didn't let him. I managed to throw a punch but he caught I then intend to stab him but he grabbed my wrist squeeze it enough to make me drop the knife, not breaking it, oh no, he chuckled as he was about to tear my arms off but I then kneed him on the groin and nuts he screams in anguish as he fall to fall to his knees, I took this opportunity to bite him on the wounded shoulder as hard as I can he scream in agony, I could hear some animals scream in shocked, I try to bite at his face and claw but he pushed off him I grab my knife again looking at him my eyes widen as he was about to Hulk smash me with his fist raised the Rhino scream in terrible agony as I drove my knife into his arm pit as I hold his arm, I yanked the knife violently and before he could recover I grab his horn and shank him multiple times into his stomach waking him enough to fall on one knee and smashing his face into the hard floor, struggles to get up and when I was about to deliver a stab to his head I felt a burning pain in my stomach I looked down and saw some of the spikes into my stomach I cough some blood, fuck I wasn't fast enough is funny how I careless got he kick me as I felt the spikes loosen I stumble back but didn't fall clutching my stomach, Ioosing balanced and stop myself from falling but what happened next will forever haunt everyone even me "Once I kill you I'm going after that fox of yours..." that's all it took I didn't bother to hear the rest as my vision flicker rapidly and itturnsn red and memories flooded back...suddenly without warnin,g I found myself o standing calmly delivering lethal strikes with my knife as I slowly stab him as hetriedy to throw punches, I had a disturbingly amused smile and smrik smiling as I dogde his moves I couldswearn my eyewase open wide and I could feel one twitch. The look in his eyes was priceless they were filled with fear, he again tried to charge me big mistake as I move out of the wall he gasped as he slammed into a column, he stumbles back his horn had broken off and fall down on the floor dizzy I grab his broken horn, I stab his left knee cap with it he screams and groans in pain, I drive it further down with my foot, he screams in anguish "have mercy!" he screams I only chuckle at him.
"Mercy!? Oh, there is no mercy from The Slasher of Ohio-Wood! Once I see you you're already dead that's how the legend goes." I said laughing and giggling loudly enough for everyone to hear me. Some animals gasp in horror and shock at my revelation, doesn't matter, or does it? I climb on top of him, pinning him down. "You're gonna find out why they also call me Deadwood, The Carpenter of Death.~" I said in a sinister sing-song voice and with that, but I slice off his ears "hear no evil" then gauge out his eyes "see no evil" while everyone looked in horror paralyzed with fear and finally "speak no evil," I said as I grab hold his tongue and slice it off his gurgling screams were beautiful I raise the knife high eyes wide, shaking with rage and stab him eight times then he went limp... I panted as the adrenaline and blood rage went away, then it hit me... Everyone had seen what I did, I tried not to care what they thought of me, but in the end, care and everywhere I looked, I saw faces filled with fear and tears, far away from me, wai!? Mike, I forgot about- I didn't finish as I smelled his scent, my blood froze.
"Z-Zachary?" I turned around and there he was hugging his tail, with Sheila and Darell behind him, their faces filled with horror and fear, for the first time I did care what others think of me as I saw those expressions. I even saw Officer Ricardo and some officers walking towards me with emotionless expressions! I needed to get out of here as tears formed in my eyes. I dashed out of the mall with animals moving away in fear and the voices were arguing I hated this, I truly did I heard Mike called my name and to wait but I didn't I just kept running for the first time, I actually felt tears, it was disgusting.
Pain is all I could feel as the wounds burn like fire, resting on the edge of a pound of the park where no animals were looking at the location of the warehouse. Why did it have to happen like that!? Just why!? I sighed as I stood up and was ready to go home, my nose perked up at that familiar scent I stopped right in my track as I heard Mike's behind me.
"Zachary! Wait!" I turned around and saw him panting out of breath, he must have run out of breath, probably from running towards me.
"Mike I-" I said, looking down and stopping as I didn't know what to say, fidgeting with my claws as I looked away in shame from my actions.
"Why didn't you tell us you were The Slasher of Ohio-Woods!" He sounded upset and hurt, I flinched at his tone.
"Because I was afraid," I said shamefully, tears threatening to spill, no I must not cry. No in front of him, crying is something I don't do in front of others. I won't cry.
"Afraid of what!?" His expression was one of hurt, anger, and finally concern, his voice croaked as he wanted to cry too, but why? I still didn't understand why he showed concern after what he saw me do to that rhino, he knew what I was capable of and yet he still ran over here to check if I was okay, guess there was no use hiding the truth anymore, the voices whispered to confess and I gave in.
"Afraid, that you don't love me anymore, I also lied to you about me I'm not 18, I'm actually two years younger than you, the abandoned warehouse is my home, I was released from Happy Times Asylum from my home state of Ohio, besides being a serial killer I'm also a police informant." I finally confessed my sins, his expression is one of surprise but still has a concern in him "You probably hate me now, and probably don't want to see me now" I said as my voice croak, knowing that my life will never be Sunshine & Rainbows, but little did I know that wasn't the case. I collapsed on my knees as the pain of the wounds was still burning through my whole body. Mike rushed to my aid and helped me to my feet.
"Zachary, you're hurt! We need to get you to a hospital!" He exclaimed in worry, I needed to know why he loved me, I just needed to know why this adorable fox loved a monster like me so I asked him.
"Mike Just why do you still care for me? knowing who I am now. Aren't you supposed to hate me? After all, I am nothing but-" I didn't get to finish as he slapped me across the face and grab a hold of my face, the look in his eyes scared the shit out of me I never
seeing him this angry and tears started to spill from his angry, kind, sad, and full of concerned eyes, I really did it haven't I?
"Zachary Brighten!! Now you listen to me and you better listen well. I'm not angry or hate you for what you did, but I am mad that you lied to me!!" He screamed in my face, I was about to respond but he interrupted me again."I'm not done yet!! Okay!? I love you the first moment you defended me from David. I love you no matter who you are or what you did!! But do you know why!? Because you're the kindest sweetest funny animal I ever met in my life and you have brought nothing but happiness!!" I stood silent as he continued his words hit me like daggers which were ironic since one of my victims felt that as I played mind games with him and stabbed him with daggers."I didn't notice it before, but now I do. Your hurt Zachary I can see past those crazy dark red eyes of you." he sobbed."I-I don't want you to feel sad and like you're nothing but a monster, please it hurts, I want you to be happy...l-life isn't always like you wanted it." He sobbed some more, and I couldn't take it anymore, years of holding in the pain and hatred and not caring what others finally burst as I hugged him taking him by surprise I started to cry and sob uncontrollably.
"Y-you're right Mike! I'm really pathetic! I-I try to..to, I just want-w- to see Sunshine & Rainbows!! I-I want to be happy!! I love you,u Mike!! I'm so sorry!" I continue like this for a few minutes until I calm down thanks to Mike comforting me and assuring me everything is okay and assured me that everything is okay, I flinch again in pain feeling the cuts and bruises Mike noticed this and help me up to my feet then I heard the one Dingo I didn't want to see right now.
"I hope I'm not interrupting something" my blood froze, my shoulders tense up and my eyes wide and Mike had the same reaction towards me as we saw Officer Ricardo staring us down with a stern and concerned look on his face? "So you're him aren't you? The infamous Slasher of Ohio-Woods, The Carpenter of Death, Deadwood, gotta admit I expected you to be older." He said with a stern voice and hard look that sent shivers up our spines we were scared of what he will do now that he knew who I was personally.
"Officer Garica! I know what you're thinking about Zachary!! I can-" Mike tried to explain but stopped at the scolding stern look Ricardo had I gulp in fear I was finally busted, after trying to avoid being caught two years ago.
"I'm not going to arrest him, I had a call with Happy Times Asylum and the Ohio Police if it wasn't for the fact that he was considered her" not to mention 'valuable source" as a police informant he would be behind bars if you ask me those scum got what they
deserved even though I don't agree with his sense of "justice." He stopped and looked at me directly in the eyes "your lucky kid that you're registered and labeled for mental treatment and professional help, otherwise I would have booked your ass to the slammer, now let's get you to the hospital before you die." He said as he helped Mike carry back to the mall and saw several flashing lights, what a cluster fuck of a roller coaster morning this was.
It was now 4:45 p.m. I was now in a hospital bed called "Harvestville Sanctuary" looking at the ceiling, let me tell you when the staff saw me they immediately rush me at first aid Ricardo explain the situation and the expressions of the doctors were hilarious, I chuckle weakly at that, Mike had to stay the night with me I turn to look at him sleeping peacefully on a chair I looked my left and saw flowers and cards from Sheila and Darrell, they still were shocked and scared of me, but once Mike told them everything they calm down I still have to explain a lot more tomorrow in front of the town, that's gonna be Hysterical I laugh at my pun, then I heard the door open.
"Wakey, wakey, how are you today kids!" Dr. Irons said as he opened the door, I heard Mike yawn waking up from his nap, as he rubbed his eyes "Well Zachary you should be good to go tomorrow, I gotta say you're a tough hybrid taking several blows from a rhino using brass knuckles with spikes." He said with a smile that I gave him a nod in response, oh did I mention that he was one of the doctors that treated my injuries once I arrived at the hospital, how I haven't died is clueless towards how I haven't died.
"Your past is also very interesting, but you shouldn't let the past stop you from enjoying life besides I used to have another patient like you that leave a reputation as you did on Ohio" he walked towards my bed and sit next to the edge while Mike scoot over his chair towards me as he noticed how nervous and tense I got. "His name was Salvador Spots a young jaguar who was known as "The Harvester" who will come cleanse the town of any criminal and protected the town everyone fears him" he grabbed one of my paws and squeeze it gently "don't let your past define you, Zachary you're a good kid" He smiled kindly towards me making me relax "try not to think much about, okay?" he asked me, I nodded at his words returning a smile in return, he then excused himself as he needed to get some work done, after that the nurse came and told me I was good to go and needed to take it easy as my wounds were still healing, Mike and I both agree that I will meet at my house once the conference was done, we both agree to head towards our own homes as we were tired, after all, today was a crazy day.
I can't believe I got my ass owned by his brother, Heck I can't believe that I killed him in front of everyone I should have done worse to him is hard coming up with creative kills and ways to do it, I sometimes gotta watch a lot of horror movies to get more creative with my kills none the less hacking them to death or carving them like wood or pumpkins is still my favorite method since I am a woodcarver, after all, I used my tools for other projects rather than to kill my victims with them. There is no limit to the use of them and of my chop trap.
