I sighed in annoyance, setting my phone aside as Suki remained asleep next to me. “I am so bored, it’s not even funny.”
I then glanced down at her, lashes lowering when I found her breaths soft and gentle. “What do you think, midnight walk?”
She remained deep in her dreams, sound asleep.
“Midnight walk,” I said then, smirking.
I hopped off the bed and stepped over to her side, lightly pushing my hand under her form as she shifted toward me.
I then scooped her up, holding her to my chest as I stepped over to the bedroom door and popped my lips, continuing down to the staircase that led to the main entrance.
“Ugh… usually I go on killing sprees at night,” I said to her despite her not listening. “Now I have to stay with you. It’s ultimately boring, you know.”
She turned her face into my neck instinctually, and I gazed down at her, lashes lowering.
“I guess I can manage,” I said with a small smile.
After exiting the house, I stepped down the front porch before meeting the sidewalks, then deciding to continue walking.
“Insomniaaaaa,” I sang then, completely and utterly bored, “come hold me uuuuup. Dangerous to catastrophiiiiic.”
Suki shifted again, clearly not waking to the change in movement.
“Ah, do you hear the owl?” I said to her then, gazing up. “Nighttime is so quiet, huh?”
She just remained asleep.
“Ah, yes, nighttime,” I said then, eyes glowing a slight red, “blackness… a human’s greatest fear. Darkness… where the predators lurk. Watching, stalking, waiting… just to bite. Tear through their prey and feed their overwhelming hunger. Just like you and me, huh?”
She turned further into me, moaning softly in her dreams while burying her face further into my neck.
I just gazed down at her, eyes softening. “No… it’s a little more complicated than that, huh?”
I then looked back up. “I can hear the crickets… the cicadas. And, ooh… is that a bullfrog?” I smiled slightly. “I am officially glad we moved. I don’t hear bullfrogs that often.”
“Insomnia…” Suki murmured in her dreams, making me look down at her in amusement. “Hol… me… up. Danger… cato….”
“Aww, are you listening to me even when you sleep?” I said then, chuckling. “Adorable.”
“Predator…” she continued, “pr…ey. Blood… lust. Chomp.”
I chuckled a little. “Have I ever told you that you sound adorable when you sleep talk?”
She silenced then, lashes fluttering as if she was dreaming of watching the bright sun.
“But, yes, your right,” I continued, still walking further and further into the night. “I am the predator, you are the prey… but sadly, you control everything I do now. I am like a servant almost. Although I am inclined to protect you. Isn’t that funny? Even more complicated, I was your boss. Doesn’t that sound so odd?” I chuckled. “What a twist of events, hmm?”
She just rested her head on my shoulder, lips echoing inaudible words.
I just smiled down at her. “Still asleep, huh? Are you getting more eased to leave yourself vulnerable now that I’m around? That’s good.” I gazed up then. “It’s loud in that head. You need a break every once and a while.”
I continued forward until I slowed, and I let out a soft yawn as I stopped at a crosswalk.
I suddenly looked to the right.
My eyes glowed a dark red as my smile sharpened.
“You’re very bad at hiding, you know,” I said then, waiting for the crosswalk to turn white. “I could hear you stepping on all those sticks. They ought to train you better.”
I just heard a click and a softened gunshot echoed through the entire neighborhood.
“A silencer?” I said then, making a tsk noise. “Those are illegal.”
I just shoved my body back along with Suki, doing a sort of limbo as the bullet whizzed inches past my face.
I stood fully seconds later, patting off my pant leg when the bullet sliced into a fire hydrant right next to me.
I then hopped backwards, letting my eyes close when water burst from the hole and sprayed onto the sidewalk a foot in front of me.
“Careful,” I said then, smiling down at Suki when a figure emerged from the fence next to me. “You’re going to wake the poor thing up.”
I heard a gun click, and I smiled a little more.
“Just who the hell are you?” the man hissed.
“Me?” I said then, gazing up as my eyes glowed a slight red. “Why, I merely work for Suki, here. Who might you be?”
The figure next to me clenched his teeth and trained the gun to my head. “Did you know you signed a death warrant the moment you stepped foot in her proximity?”
I chuckled low. “No, my dear. I’m afraid you’re referring to yourself.”
He shot again, and I shoved both me and Suki out of the way, feeling the bullet slice the air inches from my left arm before it hit a flagpole on my right.
I just twirled and hopped, landing silently on top of the bursting fire hydrant, watching the figure before me distort from the spraying water as he stepped toward me.
I jumped again and landed on the sidewalk in front of him, lashes lowering when Suki moaned in annoyance.
“What are you?” he said then, glaring. “Some acrobat?”
“Ah, yes,” I said then, smirking, “with your feeble human mind, dodging bullets with inhumane speed and balancing on a fire hydrant equals acrobat.”
“Don’t insult me, dickwad,” he snapped, raising the gun back to me.
I just chuckled. “Did you not learn the first time?”
He just growled.
My smile widened. “I think I’m done playing games.”
He shot again, but this time, I didn’t move.
I just briefly let go of Suki’s legs and raised my hand, letting the bullet slide between my fingers before I closed my hand around it.
A large force burst around me when I caught it in between my fingers, blowing my hair past my face.
By the time everything came back into view, I held Suki by her bottom, watching the man in front of me laugh a little.
He gazed up then, clearly prepared to see me dead.
But his eyes widened.
He then gritted his teeth. “Fuck, I missed.”
I just chuckled, gazing up as I flipped the bullet in my hand. “I think this belongs to you.”
He just glared. “What are you blabbering about now? And why aren’t you running? Any normal person would run, you insane piece of shi—”
He broke off when he saw me spinning the bullet between my fingers, and his face paled immediately.
I flicked it like a coin and caught it quickly. “Heads or tails?”
He suddenly stiffened, eyes widening in horror. “Wait, how did you—”
“Heads it is,” I said then, smirking.
My eyes flashed red.
I shot it toward him then, smile sharpening when it flew out from my hand and burst through the air at inhuman speed.
Before he could react, it pierced in between his eyebrows, slicing clear through his brain before it exited his head behind him.
He tipped his head back, blood spewing through the wound as his eyes rolled to the top of his head.
As his body clattered to the ground, the bullet sliced into the flagpole again.
I just landed back onto my feet and held Suki tightly, gazing down at her as her brows drew together and she moaned in annoyance.
“No—no—no,” I said then, shushing her. “Don’t wake up. Shhhh… Go back to sleep.”
She struggled for about ten seconds before her expression relaxed, and my lips curled into a smile.
I just gazed down at the dead body and the bursting fire hydrant, eyes glowing a slight red. “Well… I must do as a servant does and…
“Clean up.”
