Normalcy?

CHAPTER 2

I watched and waited.

I was asked all sorts of questions on arrival.

They didn't ask me the one question I was waiting for.

“ Are you hungry?”

I leaned on the desk of the facility owner.

She tensed up.

I scoffed.

“ You're scared?”

She sat right and straightened her coat.

“ I'm hungry.”

She stared at me.

I did too.

No one blinked.

After a minute or two, a doctor walked into the office.

Our little game was disrupted.

I turned to look at the person.

I saw the name tag.

“Lara Clark.”

I got up slowly.

I was hungry and I could pass out any minute.

“ You're Lara Clark?”

She frowned.

I slowly walked around her.

People always said I have a very deathly aura.

When I first heard it, I thought they couldn't spell.

I thought it was supposed to be deadly.

Until a guy said I have the aura of death.

Funny right.

“ I have been meaning to see you.” I said.

She smiled at me

“ Let's talk then.”

I paused.

“ Do you know why I agreed to come to this facility?”

She shook her head.

“ I came to kill you.”

The owner’s pen dropped.

“Cinematic isn't it? “

I thought and smiled.

But she was not afraid.

I know.

She thinks I'm a joke.

Lara laughed.

“ I think it's time for you to go for a correction.”

I walked towards her and looked her in the eye.

Then I saw it.

I smelled it.

She was afraid.

Her eyes trembled.

Her body was tense.

Most importantly, the veins on her neck strained.

I smiled at her.

“ You won't die now.”

I moved away from her.

“ Food?”

I nodded
