BLUE HOUR: The Primes

ˢᵃᵛᵉᵈ

"W-what do you know! J-just leave me alone!" He yelled and turned back to face the tall height that is ready to devour him anytime he decides to jump.

Samuel grinned and casually sat on the edge not very far from him.

"I know many things about you... Probably as much as you know yourself..." he said but the boy did not spare him an attention. Thinking that he's just stalling to pull him away from the edge later.

The boy stared at the ground. He was afraid. But somehow wasn't as well.

Why would he fear death?
When he is death himself...

He wanted to feel it too.

He wanted to die too...

Like all those people that died because of him.

"I know what you are... And I know that you never wanted to kill those people." Samuel said again that finally made the boy to look at him.

He looked so surprised.
And then tears began to rain down on his pale cheeks. His legs shake tremendously and he quickly crouched down. Letting the pain and sadness get to him again.

Samuel sighed and looked at the frail boy.
He felt bad that someone as young as him had to go something like this.
He had seen all his past. It felt like he was watching a dramatic movie. But unfortunately, this one is real.

So real that an angel like him chose death as his last resort.

"I didn't mean to do it!!! I just touched them!!!" He cried with clear pain in every words.

Samuel carefully observed the boy.
He had a small figure and looked very skinny. His skin were so pale like a vampire. And there wasn't any scent in him nor any form of life energy.

Everything in him is just...

Dead...

"I can help you... but only if you help yourself first!" He said and stood up to inch closer to the boy.

It's almost time....

"You can't help me! Nothing can help me I'm better off dead!!!" The boy cried.

He stood up from crouching and jumped without hesitation before Samuel grabs him and die like everybody else.

But then a pair of arms hugged him from behind.

Halting him from any form of suicide attempt.

Samuel only lowered his gaze. He sighed in relief after the worry of her not being able to be there in time will be the end of everything.

The boy panicked and tried to pry off the arms that pulled him back away from the edge. He started crying so hard and screamed to let go of him.

He was scared....

Scared that even on his last moments. He still end up killing others first before him.

Samuel could feel something inside him breaking at the sight of this broken boy. Wanting nothing else but death for himself.

It's like staring at a defected baby and given with a choics whether to give up or watch it suffer.
