KALOPSIA // Five Hargreeves

TWO// murder

E D I T E D !

"It doesn't have to be this way," The man trailed off. Piercing his gaze on both me and this jerk. I caught the jerk's eye, I gave him a look that I translate to as I'm-gonna-die-because-of-you but he didn't understand, of course he wouldn't I look like I'm about to poop my pants.

"You think I wanna shoot a kid? Go home with that on my conscious?" The man finished giving us a gloomy sigh. Oh my God! I'm gonna die, I don't wanna die, this death is probably the most boring one I could ever imagine! If I am gonna die I want it to be something that is memorable— something that would get me to Buzzfeed Unsolved. But no, I die with a jerk and I didn't even say goodbye to my loved ones.

"I wouldn't worry about that," Jerk said with confidence oozing from his voice, what the heck? This dude really wants to kill the both of us.

"You won't be going home," I saw a slight shuffle of his hand grabbing the knife beside him and disappeared out of plain sight, then I saw a blue light behind the man who pointed his gun to the jerk and sliced the nape of his neck. After the first death I have witnessed I shrieked in an unwoman-like manner.

"Shut up kid, what are you, six?" The jerk commented at my frightened state. He then teleported outside and giving one of the men a salute before stabbing them from a sharp wood— most likely from the mop that I saw lying down on the floor. I was barely breathing once I witnessed the man wince in pain, dropping dead on the floor.

I scoffed in response and hid on a counter singing a lullaby Agnes used to sing to me when I'm being melodramatic. Which reminds me, where is Agnes? Oh my gosh, please no. Even if I might die I wouldn't want Agnes to die not living her dreams.

I uncover my ears quietly, hoping that the men were out of here, but then I saw worse, more blood.. "Stop being a baby, I had to protect both of us. Think of it as self defense mechanism," He gave me this unbothered look while tying his tie in a very manly manner, wait what, weird thing to say Rae.

"Hand me a knife will ya?" He proceeded to talk, probably confused at me. WHO WOULDN'T GET FREAKING SHOCKED WHEN THIS DUDE IS CRAZY, so I mustered up all my strength and said,

"What, you're gonna murder me now? Well, hurry up!?"

I don't know why but he started laughing his ass off, "Piss off," I grumbled, tears threatening to fall down on my face. It was probably the most traumatic experience I've ever had.

"Gladly, but I have to do something first," He proceeds to the counter and grabbed a knife, he sat back on his stool.

I wanted to make a run for it. I wanted to call someone and tell them that a murderer is in Griddy's— but I lost my phone somewhere. So I quickly rush further away from said boy as possible.

"If I wanted to kill you,  you would've been dead by now," He stated, slicing the knife on his arm, he hissed in pain for a second but regained his composure.

"What are you doing? Are you a vampire who is making me drink their blood!?" I panicked, protecting myself with my arms as a sort of self defence.

He snorted and replied, "You're pretty intimidating, and overdramatic. I'm Five," He said giving me his bloody hand. Oh, now he wants to know my name?

I almost fainted at the sight of his arm, "What did you do?" I gasped reaching out for his arm and tried to see if he cut a vein.

"I took out a tracker, anyways, mind telling me your name?" He gave me a knowing look, pulling his arm out of my grasp. Of course I wouldn't give him my name, he was rude enough to cut me off when I introduced myself politely, and he put me in danger!

I just looked at him and said nothing. I was pissed and I was practically on a crime scene. "You would be on jail you murderer!" I pointed my finger at him.

He rolled his eyes and quickly took my hand, I suddenly felt nauseous for a split second, then I saw the back alley, "W-what? Why are we here?" I stammered putting my body on the brick wall for support.

"I can't let you go for tonight, you're in danger," He calmly replied, eyeing the almost empty streets.

"Says the guy who I least trust at this very moment!" I screamed, pushing him away.

He gave out a grunt and threw out a murderous look that could actually make me flee from existence if I wasn't thinking about my safety.

"Look, kid. I'm not here to hurt you. You were a miscalculation from my original plan and I  have to tend my own mistakes, so you don't have a choice. If you don't agree then fine, you die a painful death. Not my problem," He replied with a sense of superiority. I hate to admit it but he had some points. Who am I kidding, he basically is RIGHT. This dude really doesn't care about my well-being and he is just offering me protection from the goodness of his heart, if he ever has one.

"Ugh, Fine!" I raised my hand in defeat, following his tracks to an old car, guessing this is his or he stole it from someone, I'd stick to the latter.

"You know this is probably your fault why I am in deep shit right now," I retorded, sitting on the back of his car.

"I practically saved your ass, a thank you would be nice, kid."

"Stop calling me kid! We're practically the same age," I huffed, he's more annoying than the people in my school combined.

"I'm 58 years old, and what do u want me to call you? You never mentioned your name," He face palmed. I can't blame him, I also wanna be sucked in a black hole too, other than being with this weird person.

"HA! 58... You wish," I laughed at his joke, what a stupid kid.

He grumbled in response and started the car, tired enough to start another fight.
