Pretty Boy

It was late and dark. The air was sticky and humid. There was a thick layer of fog floating around. The atmosphere was eerie downtown. As I was walking, I heard a lot of wierd sounds. I stopped in my track, listening where the noise came from. I could hear water droplets falling on to the ground, a cat fight happening in some alley and heavy panting. I smiled. I looked on the ground to see blood drops splattering the ground. I slowly and silently followed the blood trail, the panting becoming louder by the second. I turned the corner to see him, his hand trying to stop the blood pouring out of his left side. He was leaning on the wet brick wall, trying to find somewhere to hide. He looked around the dark alley before noticing an empty spot between piles of boxes and garbage cans. I watched as he slowly and carefully sat wincing in pain. I slowly approached him, making sure I didn't make a single sound. I could see he had his eyes closed. I sneaked in front of him and crouched to his level. "Found you" I whispered.

His eyes shot open. He tried to look for a way to escape. I swiftly got my knife out and put my hand around his throat before he could do anything. He froze. His eyes looked right into mine, filling with pure fright. I could feel his body shaking with fear. I looked at his features slowly. His face was starting to get a bit pale from the blood loss, blood had dried from the wound on his right brow-bone, his bruised cheekbone was starting to turn a blueish color, his perfectly split bottom lip was quivering. It was a truly beautiful sigh. I can never get enough of this.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk." I said softly shaking my head. "What am I going to do with you, pretty boy." I looked back into his eyes with the biggest smile. I tightened my grasp around his neck. One of his hand came over mine to try and fight me but he didn't have a lot strength left because he lost too much blood. I could feel him trying his best to breathe. It sent shivers of pleasure all ovee my body. "You are a feisty one. I like that. I like that a lot! I think you are going to be one of thethe best ones." He coughed as he tried to speak. I loosened my hand a little to let him speak. "Why are you doing this?" I chuckled "No reason really, I just take a lot of pleasure seeing people experience strong emotions and seeing what the human mind can make someone do under immense pressure for survival is truly fascinating." I said playing with my knife in the air. "I also love experimenting with different scenarios, different tools, different types of people. Every reaction is different. I love every one of them but the ones I prefer are people like you, with such a strong desire to live that you would do anything to get out of this, to survive. Makes it so much more thrilling. I can toy with a person in so many fucked up ways that you could never imagine." I said as I let the tip of my knife softly glide on the side of his throat, sliding down his chest. "You're so fucking messed up" He spat out courageously. "Oh honey, I know. But do you want to know what the best part in all of this is?" I asked him. He gulped, staring into my eyes. I brought my knife up and gently slit his throat. His eyes widened. Both of his hands came to his throat as he started coughing out blood trying his best to breathe. His head leaned on his chest, trying to stop as much of the blood as he could from flowing out of his body. I took his jaw and lifted his head back gently to meet his beautiful eyes. "The best part is watching the life of that person slowly disappear. They say the eyes are the windows to your soul. It's true, it is where you see the light agonizingly fade away." I said, smiling sweetly at him. I stood in front of him, watching him bleed out, desperately trying to get air to his lungs. Watching him struggle filled me with pure joy and ecstasy. His eyes were screaming for help and tears flowed down his cheeks. I sat beside him, and pulled his head to lay on my lap. I started petting his hair as I whispered some soothing words. "Let it go, it's almost over. Shhhhhh, it's going to be okay." I felt his body jerk less and less until I heard his last and final breath. His hands fell to his side limply. I slowly got up an sat his lifeless body, back against the cold wall. I wiped the tears left on his gorgeous face and closed his now empty, dark eyes before placing a sweet and delicate kiss on his lightly parted bloody lips. "You were one of my favorite. I will keep you in my memory and cherish you for ever. Thank you." I took his watch carefully and put it in my back pocket to add to my collection. I then got up and went home to wash up.

The next day, it was a beautiful, sunny day. The weather was perfect to go out and enjoy. I went to my usual spot in the park near my home. It was spotted right under a beautiful cherry blossom tree, facing the little artificial lake where parents and kids love to play with their remote controlled boat. I sat on the old wood bench with my blanket, the book of the moment, and my coffee. As I settled myself to read, I heard soft steps getting closer and closer. I looked up and saw a young boy, probably in his mid-twenties, stop in front of me. "Excuse me miss, I think I saw you drop your phone earlier. Here." He politely presented the phone to me. Surprised, I softly took it. "Oh my god! Thank you! I don't know what I would've done if I lost it! Thank you so much! You are a life savior" "It's no biggie really" He said as he scratched the back of his neck shyly. I smirked to myself. "I am such a clutz. I can't believe I would've lost all of my work! How can I repay you?" "Oh no, no, it's okay. I'm just doing a good deed" He said putting his hand in his pocket, trying to look confident. "No, I insist. It's not everyday that you meet a handsome generous young man like you. I can at least leave you my number so if you ever need something or even just want to get a coffee, I'll gladly meet you." His cheeks went a little pink because of the compliment. He opened his phone and as I put my number in, I called myself to save his number. I gave him back his phone and smiled at him. "Again, thank you very much. You don't know how glad I am that you found it for me" "You are welcome. I guess I'll see you soon?" "I'd be glad to. Have a nice day" "Yeah you too" He said has he waved back at me and went back to his friends. I sat back on the bench, an evil smirk on my face.

"Let's see how fun you'll be pretty boy"
