"But that doesn't make any sense; what does killing him accomplish? You won't find happiness after you've killed someone!"
The monster stood up, then lunged at her with a slash. Chloe jumped over it, landing behind the monster. She grabbed his arm and twisted it hard. Then she brought her foot down on the back of his knee.
The monster fell to the floor with a loud crack.
"Let go!" The monster shouted.
"Not till you answer my question!" Chloe said this, pulling the creature closer to her. "Why did you attack Mr. John?"
"Because he abused me and treated me like a slave. I wanted him dead because he hurt me so many times."
"That makes sense, but I still don't know why you chose to attack me instead."
"Do you think I have a choice?"
"Yes, I believe you do. "If you were just an ordinary animal, I wouldn't be able to help you, but..." She trailed off. "You aren't normal."
The monster's eyes widened. "How do you?"
