Creating A Killer » Jerome Valeska Fanfiction

Chapter one

Her attention was drawn to his ocean blue eyes, but then she noticed something. It had happened to her too many times for her to mistake it, he had been beaten up. His lip was swollen, his cheeks were bruised and the blood vessels in his eyes was ruptured.

"What happened to you?" she asked concerned.

"The same that will happen to you if you walk through that door and happen to be named Elena."

Her eyes widened. Of course, of course. How could she be so stupid and blind? Her pain and embarrassment was just going to be the entertainment of the night, like always. Nothing had changed. He noticed her reaction and tilted his head.

"So what's the deal with you? I'm guessing they didn't want to beat you up because you're gay too."

Elena sighed as she looked at the ground.

"No..it's a long story."

He looked at her for a moment and saw the sadness that surrounded her. It wasn't hard for him to read that she was used to this, but it still destroyed her. So he grabbed a joint from behind his ear and held it up to her face.

"Well, want to leave this tragedy and get higher than a giraffes balls while we share our fucked up life stories then?"

Elena immediately looked at him with a mixture of surprise and confusion.

"Isn't that..drugs?"

He couldn't help but chuckle as he slighty shook his head.

"No, it's medicine. Cocaine on the other hand is drugs, but we'll save that for another time. Now decide, before I'm getting sober." he said as he started walking away from the house.

Elena couldn't help but feeling a bit baffled. It was just something about him, no one had ever even started a conversation with her like that, let alone helped her. She threw a quick look at the front door, it was no way in hell she was going in there. So she quickly jogged up to him as he fired up the joint.

"Here, hold this." he said and handed it to her. She grabbed it as he reached into his pocket for something. The smell was quite odd, not like any cigarette she had smelled before.

"Take a hit, I obviously already did." he said as he leaned down to the ground doing something. Elena snorted out loud as she tried to suppress a laugh with her hand over her mouth. He looked up at her with a smirk.

"You're allowed to laugh."

Elena smiled at him before she placed the joint to her lips. As she inhaled it into her lounges she instantly started coughing which had the boy laughing a bit. When she looked down again she noticed he was holding a knife which startled her, but then she saw him cut through some sort of wire. The house of the party instantly went pitch black and Elena could not help but smile once she heard all the screaming of confusion and anger. The boy stood back up while placing the knife back in his pocket.

"That was..awesome." Elena said as she started to feel a bit light headed.

"Yeah they can try to enjoy their party now, assholes." he said smiling as he turned to Elena. She couldn't help but smile because he seemed like someone who could actually be her friend.

"What's your name?" she asked as she passed him the joint.

"Alex."

Elena's teacher, Mr.Johnson, entered the classroom while letting out a loud, annoyed and purposely long sigh. This was something he did almost every class because he was not trying to hide how much he hated his job, which was understandable. He walked over to his counter and dropped the books he was holding while raising his head looking at the students.
