The Dark One









The Dark One



     If I get caught I will be put away for a long time for my crimes. But what crimes? I’m not sure you can put monsters in prison.
*
     I was 5 when I first watched it kill my baby sitter. It came out from her mouth. I know this because her coughing woke me up and I watched it come out. It looked like black liquid smoke. The Dark One formed and lifted her above the bed and tore her in half. I was so terrified, I didn’t move for 2 days until my parents came home.
     The Dark One followed me my whole life. Killed people close to me and I couldn’t do anything about it.
*
     I woke up to someone saying, “If you do anything more than open your eyes, I’m going to tear you apart.” The voice was deep and direct. I opened my eyes and it was my roommate’s girlfriend. Her eyes looked like they were made of silver and the voice coming out of her was most certainly not hers.
     “Get out of bed, I have to show you something.” She said.
     “What is wrong with you, Amy?” I asked softly.
     With a beautiful smile she said, “You know who I am, Wayne.”
     “Amy, what’s going on? What’s with the crazy contacts?” I asked.
     “I am not Amy. You know who I am. You just never had a chance to interact with me. Today is the right time. Now get the fuck out of bed and come with me.”
     I slid from under the covers and followed The Dark One to the living room. She had Dan sitting on the sofa. Dan’s friends were standing on the back wall by the TV.
     “I know this house was full of people when I passed out. Where is everyone, Dan?” I asked.
     “It is saving us for you. The rest are in the back room.” Dan whispered.
     “Okay, Dan. It’s time.” The Dark One said.
     Dan pulled a knife out from behind him and ran full sprint towards me. He kicked my foot and tripped me in the kitchen, got on top of me and buried that 9 inch chef knife in his throat and yanked. His throat opened up and showered me with blood. Once his grip eased and he was gone, I pushed his body to the side. I noticed a hand reach down and pick up the knife. I look up to see who it was and Dan’s friends were in a circle around me.
     “Stay still, Wayne. Let them give themselves to you. You deserve it.” The beautiful Dark One said.
     I tried to get up to run but I couldn’t move. My eyes are the only thing that seemed to work. I watched them one by one get on their knees and open their throats and fall on their back once they were gone. The bodies formed a bloody pool and I was swimming in it by the time I regained my movement.
     “You are now ready to give this body your seed.” The Dark One said.
     “I am not doing anything with that body.” I said.
     “So you think.” She smirked.
     I woke up naked in the back room on top of at least 13 dismembered bodies.
     “What the fuck?! Why kill everyone? You only take who you need.” I said.
     “I needed power to take this body. You seemed to enjoy it. But I can’t be in this body for too long, that’s why I needed your seed so I can take the new body and it will be completely mine. This body will die as soon as I enter the new one.” The Dark One said with a smile on her face.
     “What’s going to happen to you when you are born?”
     “You’re going to take care of me until I’m able to kill for myself.”
     “Kill people?! I won’t be doing that. You can find someone else. You don’t need me.”
     “Oh, but I do. I knew you would be the only one that could give the seed that I could transfer into. Why do you think I killed people that got close to you? I can’t have you giving away what is mine. And you are mine. You have no fucking choice in this.”
     I picked up a piece of broken glass and put it to my neck. “I’ll just kill myself and you won’t be able to survive until you’re able to feed on your own.”
     “You are too pussy to do that.” The Dark One said.
     I pressed the glass to my throat and sawed back and forth until the glass broke into pieces.
     “See, you can’t die. You are mine and you better get fucking use to it.”
     I raised my hand and felt my neck. Not one scratch.
     “What now? We can’t just stay here in this fucking morgue of a fucking house.”
     “Good boy… Take a shower and put on fresh clothes. Let’s go.” The Dark One said.
     We have been around the world and she is almost Full Term. She been feeding more than usual lately. The past month she been feeding every day, so we are on the move a lot. We can’t stick around when she leaves bodies a gory mess laying around. She’s a messy eater. And I think she’s into ripping people apart. I guess that’s what Demons are into…
     I think I will be the first person she’s kills when she is able. I can’t wait.

The End
