The air-breathers are really as good as the sirens. That day I had eaten them so quickly but it seems that they were so good, I found myself questioning why I had not eaten them before, after ripping off the head and devouring the body. Besides that, all that remained after was her clothing and bones. Even the marrow had been sucked. The third human I had eaten had been warned before, but had never adhered to my words. Perhaps I am too young?
Non-threatening?
Either way, she became the next victim, and I happily ate her with a beautiful smile; it is just I became too lost in the slight frenzy and missed the person who entered.
Grandma had entered and found me licking the blood off my fingers. She hurried in and closed the door, locking it then stared at me a long time.
I did not want her to see me differently. After all, this is my secondary thigh. I need to properly hug it while the main one is away. So the explanation began in a grievous tone. "Grandma, she had tried to poison you again. I had warned her, but she ignored me. I don't understand, am I too cute that people would see me as a joke? Grandma, big brother only has you, while I only care about big brother's emotional wellbeing. If she kills you, big brother will be sad and I don't want him to be sad so I ate her. Am I a bad girl?"
The old madam had continued to stare at me first and then at the pile of bones.
Now, as a Shark-kin I grew into a mature female knowing that I am the top predator in the ocean, that I can easily kill and eat as I please without consequences but now, looking at this secondary thigh, I could not help but to feel the emotion called panic.
Yes, I was a Shark-kin began to panic because the old madam Kai did not speak for a while yet.
"Grandma..?" I asked, focusing my distressed gaze on the old madam, Kai. I had never thought to eat her. After all, she is my secondary thigh, but I did contemplate what I should do if she decides to throw me from the Kai ancestral mansion.
The old madam surprised me by pulling out various items to help clean my hands. "Little Ra, is the blood tasty?" She asked in a coaxing tone.
I became startled; I thought she would become disgusted by me back then but instead; she asked such a thing while meticulously cleaning my hands, neck, and face.
I felt a warmness in my chest, but I kept my features sad when I replied. "No, grandma but I had wished to hide the evidence before your arrival,"
She had laughed while patting my head. "Come, let grandma clean you up. It is such a good thing that she died. I had found a new method that I wanted to test out on her. You have shown her mercy."
Those words shocked someone like me as a shark, the malevolence warping into something that I could not help but to blink up at this grandmother before baring twin rows of triangular teeth I unknowingly had. after, I had complimented her by saying,
"Grandma, you are worthy of my big brother. Please stay like this."
"Grandmother is even much happier that you are like this. I no longer have to hide."
Old madam Kai seemed so kind when she said those words after. Someone like her who did not show mercy is worthy of being my second thigh.
with the triangular teeth bared back then I wondered why she stared at me with pure joy.
it is only now I have realised something.
The Kai family in my last life had been slaughtered, the old madam Kai had once been pure, but after spending time with her husband some habits would, of course, be picked up and become addictive.
Heh.
it's no wonder she had that wonderful scent of blood.
Back to the present, I looked out from the aircraft; the school is located on an island and surrounded by the dark green waters.
Studying its content online, I have noticed that it is not much different from Gaia, just a bit denser.
I would have to enter to see if I could swim with ease.
In fact, I knew I had time, so later I will enter the water to see what was inside to eat.
Licking my lips, I thought of devouring my next meal smiling smugly.
From above, within the private aircraft, I looked down at the circular building, the vast land, and spotted small homes.
This is an island that provided homes for the workers and lodging for its young but elite students.
As a child known to be an elite, I exuded such; due to all the teachings that were taught to me.
First by the two Lecturers, and then my grandmother Kai; to blend in and continue to hold my main and secondary thigh, I made sure to learn it all diligently. it is just I have changed a bit.
I had no idea that because I have tasted the blood and flesh of the air breathers after teetering on the edge of life and death that my power had somehow grown and my body had begun to transform.
It is only now I have realised.
only now do I have bigger problems than before.
Like how to suppress my innate need to hunt and devour.
