Chereads / What the hell am I? / Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

Chapter 3 - Chapter 2

I ran to the window to see that one of my neighbor's daughter Bethanne was being kidnapped. I dialed nine one one and ran to rescue her. I screamed at him to let her go. One of the kidnappers punched me in the stomach. When I fell down he kicked me in the face. I woke up in a back of a van with three other girls. They were tied up and gagged. I wanted to say something but I started to have seizures again. These were the worst that I had as far as I remember.

When the seizures stopped I looked around and saw in the reflection that I had a nose bleed. My appearance had changed slightly. I looked like me but my eyes were blood red. My hair had grown back to it wild manes. My throat burned with thirst. It felt drier than the Sahara desert. I looked around to see if there was a way to quench my thirst. I saw the girls staring at me with horror. They smelled mouthwatering. I tried to reach them but my hands tied back with zip ties. I tugged and they came loose. The others screamed in fear. The kidnappers walked in to tell us to shut up. I jumped on him and drained his blood. It was an incredible feeling. I felt myself become more energized. I felt more alive. I heard footsteps and knew that my next morsel was coming and I waited till he showed up. He saw me and started to shoot at me. I quickly climbed the ceiling. He kept firing rounds till his gun was empty. In the attempt to get me he had shot the only light source in the room. His breath quicken as he tried to find a lighter. I waited to see if he would try to find me. He finally got the zippo to work and he did advance pointing his empty gun. He was shaking head to toe. I watched with delight as he tried to shine that weak little light as though it would do him any favors. I slowly climbed down and creeped up behind him. He didn't know it till the last moment. I sweep his feet and he fell face down. He screamed profanities as I drank him dry. When I was done I had a sense of calm.

I came to my senses and felt a pang of guilt. I saw the girls were huddling together in fear. I grabbed a flashlight and approached them. They saw me and screamed. I raised my hands to say I won't harm them. I explained that I didn't even know what I was doing. I told them that something took over me. They kept screaming. They kept asking me to spare their lives. I quickly cut them loose and walked away from them. I sat down on the floor with my hands on my head. When they saw me do this they were shocked. They got out to talk to me. They heard a loud bang followed by footsteps. It was a woman approaching us. She was on the phone. She promised to cut the girls and sell their parts. So I told them stand behind me. They decided that the van was the best place to be so they ran back towards it. I focused on the thirst. I subtly changed back into the rage monster. I waited for her to walk in. The door opened to let a faint light in. She walked in saw the place was dark. She tried to flip the switch multiple times. It didn't work. So I did her a favor saying the bulb blew out. She turned to the direction of my voice. I sounded very calm. She must have thought my voice was like that of a serial killer. She called out with what bravery she could muster. There was a slight tremble in her voice as she called out, "Who is there?" I let out a light chuckle. She began to shake with fear. She turn on the flashlight on her phone and tried to find out what had happened. I quietly closed the door behind her. I made sure to lock it too. She screamed loudly as the room was engulfed in complete darkness. I saw in the van the girls were hugging each other praying that I don't kill them. I smirked and walked up to the woman that wanted to cut us. I walked towards slowly like a lion hunting it's prey. She kept walking till she fell face down. She got up and aimed her flashlight at what she tripped on. It was her two assistants dead on the floor. She screamed loudly and tried to run. I grabbed her and she started promising me everything she could think of. But here's the thing. I didn't want what she had to offer. I want her dead. So I killed her too and I felt the calm. come back to me and I walked back to the girls. They shook with fear. I held out my hand and they reached out to touch it. They realized that I wasn't going to hurt them.

I told them the trouble we would be in so they helped me burned the bodies. I hotwired the car and drove to find a police officer. We reached the police headquarters. Walking out of the door was my would be step dad. He was surprised to see me. When we explained what had happened he first interrogated us before he called our families. They came to take us home but before that the people from the forensic department ran a stringent of tests. Then we were allowed to go home. For some reason they didn't tell them that I had become a monster. I guess they decided since I didn't kill them, it was ok to keep it a secret. They looked back towards me with smile to say thanks and I smile to thanks as well. Bethanne and her dad drove home. I heard them talking for the next hour. He was upset that his ex wife had done this to her. He called his lawyers to get a restraining order. He also made sure he had complete custody of Bethanne.

Mom on the other hand was upset that I decided to be a dare devil. I could have been shot. I understood that arguing with mom is a mistake so I let her yell at me before I went upstairs. I sat down. I opened my laptop and watched as it buzzed to life. I opened Chitchat. It is a social media platform for teenagers. We talk about all sorts of stuff. On one of them holds the latest gossip. They were about how we were kidnapped by serial killers and we escaped after we had fought the guy.
