Scarred Knight

Watching From The Shadows

I watched from the shadows, where no one can see me, as the teacher kissed her and how she molded her body to his. I had thought she'd push him away, not cling to him like he was responsible for her next breath, but instead she kissed him back just as hungrily. The pushing came minutes later and she even tried to slap him, only the teacher stopped her.

I narrowed my eyes at the man who was the teacher, my senses told me he wasn't what he was trying to be. I recognised my own breed and I knew he was a hunter just like me. But what remained a question to me was if he was here to kill her too. No, it doesn't mean I was here to kill her. Killing would come, but not this soon. Later. Much later.

When I have had my fun with her.

Because that's what makes me special, all the fun and games I play with my soon to be victim.

When I was a kid, not that I got a chance to be, I was different from my brothers. Not just the physical attributes— they all have different shades of blue resembling our mother’s eyes, and dirty blonde hair whereas I have green eyes and jet black hair, like Jared Carter—the only father we all know. But besides that, there were a lot of things that set me apart from them. Like the fact that they all had their objectives set. They all knew what they wanted from life after the hell we suffered. As soon as Dad pulled us out of the hell we lived in for the beginning years of our lives, my brothers— Maddox, Dominic, and Brandon, knew what they were going to do and how. They had everything planned, mostly.

Me??

I didn’t have a fûcking clue what I wanted. I was adrift. I had no destination. I didn’t know what I needed from life. I didn’t have dreams. Not when my nights were filled with nightmares. I often tried to look for that something that was missing. I tried everything. I cared for my brothers and my parents, it brought me a smidgen of satisfaction but my hunger was never satisfied. I played basketball like my brothers, I was good at it too, but I didn’t love it as much as Maddox and Dominic. I wasn’t perfect like Brandon, I hated rules and walking a straight line.

I hated noise, so partying and letting go like Dominic was out of the question too. And then there was Maddox— he looked for damsels in distress and saved them, which brought him to his sweet Brenna. And as I watched my little brother, protecting her with single minded focus, I wondered if it wasn’t something that I was missing but a someone. But even after that I knew that unlike my brothers, I craved violence. I craved bloodshed. I wanted to be someone everyone feared but no one can see coming. And on the other hand I wanted to calm the chaos brimming inside me. I was walking on a thin line, to control everything around me and to lose it and to break everything in sight.

And as I grew up, the chaos inside me also expanded. The need to lash out at the world for all the injustice also increased. I watched my brothers. I watched them all, trying to understand how they were coping. But I also watched Maddox. And it was my little brother who set me on a path of searching. And I started to look. Sometimes I found things that I shouldn’t. But there was this one time when I found someone that made me think that now I can stop searching. Only she got lost again.

Coming out of my whirlwind thoughts, I watched after my query as she barged out of the classroom. Adorable. And a deceitful, little liar. I had waited for some time to come face to face with her. I hadn’t known how she’d take me as her teacher. But I sure hoped that I’ll get what I wanted from her.

When I had decided to play a teacher I never thought I'd be wanting to teach her a lesson too. I hadn’t forgotten how she tasted, her taste was imprinted in my brain and somewhere deep inside me where no one can see. But when she stood there with her beautiful grey eyes glaring at me, looking at me like she couldn’t decide if she wanted to run away or step a bit closer, I had let loose the knee-jerk reaction. I had grabbed her and claimed her lips, just like I did in that dark alleyway.

And when my lips touched hers, I remembered what she couldn’t. I remembered what she had so easily forgotten. And that fact only made me angrier at her because it was just another betrayal in my books.

And there are only so many things I could do with the person who betrayed me.
