Broken

Chapter 25

Morgan

"That jerk! Just who does he think he is!?" I say angrily.

"It's not like he WAS following you. What's the big deal?" Katie says as she chews on her french fry.

"I know that. But when I remember how he looked at me with a dumb smirk on his face, I feel so frustrated that I just wanna rip it off." I say to her.

She sighs "Your unbelievable"

Few minutes ago when I was getting ready to go back to the factory, Katie, my senior, offered to walk home together. I had written a different address on my application and that, unfortunately, happened to be near where she lived. So now, after buying French fries from a restaurant, we're on our way back. I'll wait for the fork in the road and then when she's gone, I'll go back.

"By the way, I thought you came to work in your car. Is it in a repair shop at the moment?" I ask her curiously.

"Actually my niece had to take it for a day since her car is the one at the repair shop. I would have walked home alone but the way things are now, it's risky." She stuffs her face with the last bits of french fries.

"I really don't mind. But why is it risky now?"

"Don't you know? That angel wings serial killer! I mean sure she's attacking those who did her wrong but what if she starts killing other innocent people too?" She says worriedly.

How funny. If only she knew...

"True, it IS scary. Wish she's found quickly." I say to Katie.

"I know right. I read somewhere that her mother abused her and her classmates bullied her. I bet that's what turned her into a real psychopath."

She has no idea. There are so many people to blame but Lydia definitely wins the cake.

"I'm going this way now. Well, see you tomorrow." She waves goodbye and goes to the street on the right. The location I've given on my application is to the left.

I walk left and keep on going until I think I've walked far enough. Then I proceed on the journey to go back to the factory.

It was so exhausting today. Bumping into Ethan and seeing him at the Café again was unexpected. I think if I keep running into him he'll slowly realise it's me. The 'Angel wing' serial killer. Seriously, what's up with the wings? Was it some kind of message? Who knows.

There are times when I think it's good that Lydia is killing those people. I mean, no one helped me when I was being bullied. They all ignored me. Avoided me. So why should I care who's dying? In fact, I wish I was there at the time of their death. I want to savour the desperate and helpless look on their faces as they're being murdered. They're getting what they deserved. When I first heard of Helen's death, I was furious by how Lydia was framing me. But deep down inside, I was thrilled. Images of what she did to me flashed into my mind and I realised how satisfying this conclusion was. And then strangely, I find myself waiting for the next murder victim.

I'm finally at Riverdale! Great, my legs are so tired from all this walking.

A question once came to my mind, should I let Lydia kill off those people? It'll be hard to stay away from the police for long though but it will be worth seeing the dead bodies of those ignorant bastards.

My answer to my own question was definitely no. While it would bring me great pleasure, it will never satisfy my hunger for revenge. Negative emotions always surpass positive ones. My anger and hatred for her will never vanish.
