once bitten, twice vengeful

chapter 4: cold night

The man held the axe in his hands, the weight making itself known to him. Heavy and sharp. He stalked his prey in silence, the blood leading him to wear it was. He could hear it panting and crying. It’s heartbeat pounding like drum. It was near by.

He followed the blood trail to a clearing in the wood where she was slowly bleeding out. “ cole.. I’m sorry…. I was just supposed to be joke… we didn’t- “ she was cut off by an angry yell. “ a joke?! You think having those asshole stealing my clothes, grabbing at me and then almost have their way with me ! that was a joke to you! “ cole walked to her closer as she tried to limp away. She cried and begged. Pleading her innocence.” No! no, it was just supposed to the clothes thing! Nothing else, I swear!” cole smacked the axe agents the palms of his hands. “ you know what they did to be before kelly. I told you everything they did. “ he brought the axe up with both his hand.

Kelly limped away more. the wound on her arm felt like it was on fire, it hurt so much. The blood running down her arms, chest and more. it was all over her. It was dried in to her hair and onto her skin, smeared all over her face. “ please… I’m sorry cole….please, don’t do this. Don’t kill me… “ he stood in front of her.

Kelly’s black curly hair was encrusted in blood with little pieces of bone fragments sparsely intertwined in the curls. Her dark brown eyes looked like black pools contrasting with blood, scratch’s and bruises on her face. One being huge bruise on her cheek from when she ran into something while get away from him the first time. When he slaughtered all those monsters, leaving her for last . he wanted to have her stewing in her own fear before he killed her. “ you knew what they did and you chose them. You chose them over and over again! Even when i wasn’t eating or sleeping! “ he swung the axe down and got her in the foot, severing it clean off.

She screamed out her lungs in pain and started to sob hard her face red and blotchy. “ please I’m sorry cole!” she sobbed more as he looked her with angry tears. “ I tried to hang myself! You said that was a friendcation! “ cole swung again almost hitting her. She let out another ear splitting scream. “ That it was just us! That we were alone! And you brought them along! To what, to rub slat in the wound?! To make me relive what they did to me! To humiliate me some more! “ kelly crawled back as she sobbed more. “ I’m sorry! Please cole! “ her voice was horse and sore.

She was sobbing and repeating the words over and over. She began to shake and stutter. “ you were my best friend…. I trusted you… good bye Kelly… “ he lifted the axe high as tears fell from his rich brown eye; with a powerful swing, he brought it down to Kelly’s head. Her last scream of life was soon silenced. Her headless body llaythere ,blood spurting from the wounds and coating the grass below.

He grabbed her head and brought bher ack to the camp with the others. “ there all together, right. “ the camp looked like a murder scene. “ he smirked as he went to wash up. He had time to make p a story getaway. He had time to get rid of any evidence that led back to him. The camp was completely remote. And they were to be a away for 2 months ‘ to rest and recharge ‘ as Kelly had put it. Cole got everything ready for an early dinner. The stars in the night sky were beautiful that night.

He got the meat, onions, cheese and the buns ready. It was simple but he liked it. He looked at the heads of his assailants and abusers. Josh, Kyler, amber, carol, Michael and Kelly. He build a fire and got it nice and hot. He gathered up some of clothes. he changed in to new, clean clothes. He put the dirty clothes into a beg and put them next to the fire. He then got the axe and got his bag. “ this will be the end of the old me. Never more will I be that naïve, pathetic person again. “ he throw them in and watched it all burn.

He made his simple burger for dinner and looked at the sea of stars. Ash and shoot went in the air. The glow of the fire making him feel warm and safe. He felt like he was finally clean. Like the dirt had been washed away after so long of trying. He let out quiet cry that soon turned into full blown sob as everything came to mind. “ I’m free of them all…. “ he left his eyes start to feel heavy as his body relaxed as he fell into a deep sleep.

The moon goddess patted his soft brown hair. She liked the way his hair felt. This soul would need some healing but she knew that cole and mia would be much better match then the one the father john made. He really should stop drinking when he receives her messages. Game of Scrabble was an interesting chose though. Mia was a wild card but well meaning. Her wolf wasn’t really a wolf either so this could work.

While cole may be human he showed that he hunt and kill like a wolf. But cole needed someone who would be loyal to him and help him but at the same time mia needed someone stand with her and help her grow. They both needed some help with mental and emotional growth.

Cole shifted in his sleep as the moon goddess mused. He and mia were going to make quit the mess just trying to get to that cord cutter. “ be safe cole, and good luck. “ She smile and faded away in to the moon light with a sweet smile. Cole laid there asleep with smile on his face
