Chapter 1 - Crazy for You

The story begins with a tall pale man walking through a dark and melancholic forest with a face covered in blood and polluted with hatred and disgust. As he hastened through the forest, he spotted a large wooden house that reeked of death and despair. Reaching closer to the house with every passing second, he started to hear what sounded like a rabid animal crunching on the bones and muscles of its prey. Growls that sent shivers through every cell of his body attacked the contrasting silence of the forest started to permeate the area. The man walked closer to the source of the noise with a large silver blade in his hand and a look of dread on his face; as he slowly pushed the door open, he saw a horrific sight, it was an alluring girl with a slightly muscular build, beautiful crimson red eyes, and long silver hair. She was standing at around 167 cm with the forearm of what is presumed to be someone she killed in her hand; petrified by the site of multiple mangled bodies and the organs of people all over the room the man dropped the blade and alerted the creature. She rushed towards him and grabbed him by his throat and pushed him to the floor; the overwhelming realization of those past sequences of events caused the man to pass out while the creature was still sitting on top of him.

"Wher- where am I..?" the man said in a panicky manner while quickly trying to get a measure as to where he was. In his peripheral vision he saw the same creature that attacked him the previous night so he instinctually grabbed a hairbrush he saw on a small counter next to the bed he was on and attempted to stab her in her neck but she casually caught his hand and pushed him to the floor. With a mesmerizing and overconfident voice, she looked at him and said "You look hungry, let's go downstairs get you something to eat" while walking away. Naturally, the man sat there in hesitation but in response, she turned around looked at the man with a stare that rivaled his image of her. Instead of evil and disdain, the look she gave was that of love and warmth. Hypnotized by her persona eagerly got up and followed her downstairs and to his surprise, he saw a beautiful interior and opulent furniture. "What exactly are we going to eat...?" the man said in an abnormally calm voice so in response she chuckled and whispered, "YOOUU~ will be eating some food I collected a while ago when I visited a nearby town and I will be eating something else...". He giggled and continued following her as if she was an angel sent by God. Finally reaching the kitchen grabbed two cans of prunes and raisins and slowly cut them open with one of her razor-sharp fingers while looking at him in an alluring manner while smiling. The man merrily started to stuff his face full of the prunes and in a moment of pure bliss a thought struck his mind as if it was a bolt of lightning so he spoke to her "Ex- Excuse me mi- miss what's your na- name ...?" and in a soft yet nefarious voice she replied, "Ohh~ you want to know my name…? That's a secret for now but in the meantime, you can call me Sal, dear". He nodded his head and continued eating while he slowly fades away from reality.

'Bliss, that was the only way to describe the day I just had the man thought to himself as he laid in bed. He had been blissfully chatting away with Sal as if they were longtime friends not realizing that the control, she had over his was only increasing by the hour. As he lay in bed slowly losing in a battle to doze off a thought struck his mind and it was that of marriage. He thought that if he somehow got her to feel the same love, he had for she would become his bride so that night he delayed his sleep and thought up a plan to gain the heart of Sal.

It was about 5 a.m. and the man was fully awake and thinking about Sal. A raging storm had been conjuring in his mind with all the things he wants to do with his newfound love interest. Thoughts of marriage, thoughts of sex, going on dates were but a few of the things that whirled around his head while he was lying in bed. As the storm in his head raged on fiercely and picked a single thought came to his mind and decimated his hours' worth of deluded thoughts and that thought was 'what is she says no to me…'The thought beat at him as if he was a powerless child, it gripped the very essence of his love for Sal and pierced it with what felt like 1000 swords. Powerless to fight those thoughts all his courage faded away and he stayed in bed moping.

Around 3 hours later Sal woke up from her sleep ad went to check on the man. She walked up the stairs to find a depressed-looking man on the verge of tears in bed. Confused about the state he's in she asked "Dear, what are you doing?" to which he replied "Just wondering if Sal will ever love me as much as I love her" abruptly and nonchalantly. At the sudden realization of what just happened, the man began to panic and felt as if his heart was going to explode but Sal just began to laugh as if she's seeing a child failing to do basic things. It was at that moment that she increased the level of seduction she had been inducing on him by going in for a kiss…
