I looked up to see some creepy yet handsome man standing over me, holding a knife to my face. I gave him a bored look, and sighed, his presence nor his words scared me, i just looked up at him a little longer before i spoke.

mm. One thing, don't call me girly. Oh and another thing, that kind of knife wouldn't be my first choice when killing someone, the blade, although sharp, it's not really long enough for me.

I stood up, and pulled my own knife from my pocket.

Now, you see, i would prefer this one, longer blade, cuts deeper.

I then held out my hand and puled the blade across the back of my hand, cutting open the skin, letting the blood flow from my veins. Twenty five.

See?

Eyes lowered their gaze to his hand, seeing the ball of shadow. I then slowly looked up to his face again seeing that wicked smile. I smirked at him, still i was not phased, he wasn't the only one with a power, and it seemed that these days more and more people were finding out that they were not normal. After a moment a smirk came upon my facade, i then lifted up my hand and let the electricity spark up and dance across my palm. I looked from my hand then back up at him.

Sweetie, you're not the only one who doesn't need a knife.

Was this guy a killer like i used to be? Well.. like i was... i still killed, but the numbers of my killing had dropped dramatically, only one in the last six months. I wondered what this guy would do, now that he knew he was not the only one who cold do these crazy things.

Eyes stayed glued to his as he spoke,oh how i loved to be around a killer, there was that thrill that always seemed to hang in the air, one that i had missed so much. It seemed to me that i was to be another of his victims, but how wrong he was, the only person who would ever kill me would be me. I saw him come towards me, as if to push me, so i relaxed my body and allowed him to. I fell back onto the ground, still not phased, might as well let him feel as if he was in control for now. I rearranged myself so i was more comfortable, putting my hand behind me and leaning on them. I then brought my gaze up as he shot a ball of shadow above my head. His words still didn't scare me, i just waited for a few seconds to pass before replied.

Ohhh... so I'm, your next victim am i? Think again sweetie.

I then moved my head to the side, moving my ebony hair out of the way so i could see him better before i spoke again.

come on then.

I slowly stood up, bored of just sitting there on the ground. Again, i listened as Eric spoke, but this time, for some reason his words just hit me. One word stuck out more than the rest... worthless. Yeah,that was me, just a worthless freak, no use on this world, so better of dead. I had bee told it so many times that i should have been numb to the pain it cause, but i wasn't. Who'd have thought that just words could cut deeper than the sharpest blade... I just watched Eric as he just went off. I took a few steps after him, but thought better of it. what was the point? I just sighed and turned around, heading back to the wall. I just let myself sink down and sit there, knees brought up to my chest, head low, ebony hair covering my face, hands on either side of my head, i couldn't take much more... all i ever wanted was company, but i was too worthless for anyone to be around.

I only looked up when Eric came over again, his laughter made this hate grow inside me. I gave him a cold glare, that hate i felt just burning through. Maybe i had met my match, someone as dark, maybe even darker than me, someone who's soul was so twisted there was no sanity left. I let the moments pass then slowly i got up again. I didn't take my eyes off him, i just waited a little longer before i spoke, my cold tones matching my cold glare.

So, what the fuck do you want with me then, if I'm so worthless?

Did he want to break me down, pick away at all my weaknesses? Well, i was stronger than that... there was no way that he would get his way yet.

Oh he was really pushing the line now, but i wasn't going to let his pathetic words get to me, not anymore. So, bringing up family now? Not a wise move. My family were nothing to me, i felt nothing for any of them, so his comment didn't even hurt me. There was a void inside of me, somewhere where my family would have been, memories, feelings, but it was all empty, i had no family, i didn't need them. I was glad that my reactions were fast, as he shot a shadow ball at me i used my speed to dash out of the way. I stopped ten meters away, behind him. I then called out to him.

Oh you're gonna have to be faster than that, eyecandy.

Lesson one; don't fuck with me.

Painful. Ah, maybe i shouldn't have fallen for that one. Even my quick reactions weren't nearly as fast as i needed them to be. I was struck by a shadow ball. My body was thrown back a few meters, i landed hard on the ground. Minutes passed, still i didn't move... but the world was slowly coming back to me, and hell my head hurt, but that wasn't going to stop me from playing this game. I laid where i had fell, eyes flickering open, i waited a few more moments before i spoke.

Oh,, someone certainly is playing hard to get.

Fear drifted out of my eyes, i need not fear him, there was no reason to fear death, like i had said, i had a secret, but it wasn't time to tell it yet. So the countdown had begun, this guy was boring me now, why did he waste so much time? I just smirked at him, he really had no idea. Why he was giving me all this time, i did not know, well with my speed i could have got out of here, away, out of the country before that shadow ball could be released. Speed of light, he couldn't move faster than that now, could he? Lips parted and calm tones filled the space between us.

Bring it.

I was ready, this secret would be revealed soon enough.

ho can i decide what's right
when you're clouding up my mind .x

It's strange that we fear things that have to real threat to us. But at this time, when i should have feared for my life, i didn't. There was nothing, i felt nothing. As Eric did his countdown, i just lay there, calm surrounding me. Times seemed to pass so slowly, each second seemed to last and eternity. I just looked up at Eric, waiting to hear him reach one. He did, and as soon as that one word passed his lips, i used my power. The speed of light, i was out of that scrap yard before he could finish that word. I was far enough away to escape the blast, I'd return in a few minutes, he would get it soon enough, i was one he just couldn't catch.

tonight
we lie awake
remember how the coffee made us shake .x

Moments passed, i was waiting for the blast to go, it did, i was far enough away to be safe. It was time to make my reappearance. I shot back into the scrap yard, it was certainly more messy than when i had left it. There he was, on the floor. I walked over to him, standing over him, casting shadows over his body. I rested my hand on my hip. I had heard his shouting, it made me laugh. I didn't waste time, as soon as i had stopped, i spoke.

I'm here, sugar. No blood and guts for you today.

He wouldn't kill me, i wouldn't ever let him have the chance. But i could see possibilities. We had these powers, and with powers comes responsibility.There were two ways we could choose, fight for good or for bad. I had chosen bad, i was sticking to it now. But, oh, how much more powerful could Eric and myself be if we teamed up. Double the trouble. But, he seemed to stubborn to even think that.
