There's just no way a guy like him exists. I ignored his stare. He approached me swiftly with a terrifying glare on his face and pressed his sharp knife against my throat. I noticed that he was completely covered in blood.....fresh blood. I could only roughly make a guess on the number of people he had killed....10? no 50 people i guess.
His tone was horrifyingly cold when he asked " Who are you? A newbie? A cop? You don't seem like a cop. Did you kill someone?" I could feel his menacing aura seeping through my spine. I instinctively knew that if I make a single mistake, he would kill me in an instant.
The only choice I had was to be honest. I composed myself as much as I could and spoke in a very low voice " I- I ran here escaping from the police. I killed my sister and my boyfriend.....". My voice could not actually stutter more than that. I can't believe I can make a sound like that. I was a bit embarrassed.
Just when I thought I have met my fate, he suddenly started laughing out loud " You killed your boyfriend and your sister???? That's hilarious! What did they do? I bet they cheated on you". I was dumbfounded.....Did he just laugh? His laughing was similar to that of a child.
His face brimming with curiosity like a child, he started pestering me "Hey? Why aren't you replying? Did you suddenly die?? hey!!" I honestly did not know how to answer him. I was just tired....
His childish face suddenly looked serious. He walked towards me one step at a time.... And quickly held me tight. His hug was not gentle but it felt comforting. He whispered to my ears in a very low voice " Its alright! There is nothing to fear now. I will protect you from now on....."
I knew he was just another liar, I knew he was a killer, I knew he was not trustworthy. He was a psychopath but the warmth I felt was real. It was sweet...I know I should push it away or else I would regret it for the rest of my life but this comfort was something I longed for, wished for a very long while. I could just not pull away from this hug... from this warmth. I cried like a baby.
I thought I never felt any kind of sadness in the past but now I get it... All I wanted was someone to hold me and whisper comfort words like this. It feels like a joke that a killer is consoling me but it doesn't matter who it is as long as I can feel this warmth.
After hugging for a short while, he asked me in a deep voice "Done with your crying? Let's go".
