Murder Maniac Monday. When I came into the room and saw Julian clutching on Madame's dress like he was afraid she was going to go away, I couldn't believe my eyes. He was awake and trembling, like he was afraid of something. Everyone was shocked as well, they couldn't believe that the child who has been sleeping for 2 years suddenly woke up and was crying like a baby searching for his mother. `'its ok baby, I'm here my dear, everything will be fine'' Madame said while holding him tight and he seemed to calm down for a moment and then he looked around. `'Am I awake now?'' he asked in a small voice that made my heart sink, Madame nodded and he sighed `'Thank God'' he said and he sat on the bed, he looked around and his eyes fell on me. `'Thanks for waking me up, Henrik'' he said and then he tried to get up from the bed but stumbled and almost fell on his face but Pumpkin was there to hold him. `'You can't get up yet, rest up a little and I'll call a doctor to check on you'' Said Madame but Julian refused, he said he didn't want to keep sleeping, he was afraid of not waking up again. After a while we decided to give them some privacy to talk and everyone except from Madame and the two teachers left the room. When we got out of the room everyone's eyes fell on me, I stared back at them awkwardly for a moment `'I swear to God I don't what he's talking about, I didn't do anything to wake him up'' I said and nobody said anything until Martha the maid cleared her throat. `'Alright, we all had a long day so let me guide you two to your rooms and you can talk about everything later'' She said and made a sign for me and my mom to follow her, I stared at everyone for a second and then I walked away with my mother. We were walking in silence following Martha when my mother squeezed my shoulder and smiled warmly at me `'Everything will be fine honey'' she said and I smiled at her knowing that she was right, everything will be fine, something weird happened but I'm sure everything will be fine. Martha led us through several hallways on the second floor until we came to a large hallway with numerous doors around. `'These are the children rooms, us parents and adults have our rooms upstairs on the third floor'' She said and she took a key out of the pocket of her dress and unlocked a door for us. `'This will be your room Henrik, I will send someone to bring your things later'' I entered the room and it was beautiful, the bed was huge that was something I liked, it had little furniture, a desk, chair, bookshelf and a small fireplace, the floor and the walls were all made of wood and it looked really beautiful and way better than the small room I had back home. Martha opened a door for me `'Here is the bathroom, there's no shower but there's a common shower room at the end of the hall, it's just for boys so don't worry you won't have to be worried about accidents with the ladies'' She said and winked at me, I laughed a little bit she was funny and I liked her already, my mom looked at the room and gasped `'This is beautiful, Henrik'' she said and hugged. `'You just wait until you see your room then'' Said Martha and made a gesture for my mom to follow her, my mom looked at me almost like if she was asking for my permission I laughed again `'It's ok mom, I will try to rest a little so don't worry go ahead and enjoy your room'' She smiled and followed Martha out of the room, but before leaving Martha told me that dinner was served at 7:00 PM and that everyone ate together at the dining room, then she left. I stood there in silence and I stared at the place for a moment, without hesitation I ran and jumped on the bed and rolled around the soft pillows and laughed like a maniac. `Gosh I'm so lucky' I thought to myself and I felt myself drifting off to sleep. I was woken up by a hard knock on the door and I sat up on the bed feeling sleepy as hell, I mumbled for them to come in and I watched as Moon Shine entered the room with three heavy boxes on his hands. `'Oh, Moon Shine I'm so sorry you had to carry all that'' I said and he looked at me with a surprised expression on his face and then mumbled a quiet `It's ok' and put the boxes on the floor, I stood up from the bed and he took a step back, like he was wary of me. `'Are you alright, Moon shine?'' He looked at me and got closer, then he sniffed around me and I stood stiff in place, what was he smelling I don't know but he got closer and smelled around my hair and my face then he stopped and stared at me. `'Why did you called me by my name?'' He asked me and I knew why he was wary of me, a new face means a new person to talk to and understand and since we was a wolf most of his life it must be even more difficult for him to talk to new people. I sighed and smiled, `'Well, that's your name right? Your real name, the one you parents gave you'' he looked at me weirdly and then his mouth twitched a little, I think he was trying to smile but he didn't had any practice. `'Thanks'' he mumbled and turned around to leave but as he was walking through the door he spoke once more `'Classes start tomorrow at 4:00 o'clock so be sure to be here after school, also dinner is ready'' and then he left. I decided to change and go downstairs to the dining room, when I arrived I found out that everyone was already sitting, Madame's face lit up when she saw me and she pointed me to a chair besides my mother's `'Welcome dear, you can sit over there'' she said and I felt everyone's eyes on me again. I decided I had enough of awkwardness so I tried to speak `'so, where is Julian?'' I asked and Madame smiled a little bit `'He is in his room, he will eat dinner with Pumpkin'' she said and I noticed that only Pumpkin was missing at the table. I noticed that even Martha the maid and Jonson the butler were sitting with us and I liked it, I took the plate that was in front of me and looked at the delicious food, Steak with some kind of cream on top, mashed potatoes and Caesar salad, I started to eat and my mother smiled at me as she ate some of her food too. Everyone seemed to lose their interest in me and started to eat as well while chatting about pointless stuff, I was laughing and joining some of the conversations when I felt a hand of top of mine. I looked besides me and only then I noticed that Vincent was sitting beside me, he blushed a little bit and apologized saying that he was trying to find his fork. `'It's ok'' I said and placed the fork on his hand, he smiled and mumbled a thanks to me and started to eat, I noticed that he wasn't joining the conversation so I tried to speak with him a little bit. `'Is good isn't it?'' he stopped for a moment, like he was trying to figure out if I was talking to him or not. `'Vincent?'' I said and then he nodded his head. `'Yeah, is really good'' He started to eat again and there was something in that silence of him that made me want to know more about him. `'So, how are your classes?'' I asked and after swallowing a big piece of meat he nodded his head. `'They are fine, I'm struggling with math but Linda helps me when she can'' I glanced over to where Linda was sitting and she smiled at me, I smiled back and tried to speak with him more, he seemed shy, like really extremely shy but I kind of liked it. When we were finished with dinner both my mother and I offered ourselves to help with the dishes and after some convincing Madame agreed. It seemed like she had the idea that it wasn't really our responsibility to do it but we wanted to do something to pay them back for their kindness. `'Do you like it here?'' I asked her, I was truly concerned for her well-being, I know she had to make huge changes over the past years with my father going away but she always was the `queen' of her house and now she was living under somebody else's home, so I wanted to know how she really felt about that. `'I am okay sweetheart, my only concern is you and your safety'' she said with a smile and I found it strange `'my safety?'' I asked and looked at her `'It's not like we were in danger in our crappy apartment'' She looked at me and laughed nervously `'y-yeah baby, you're right but I just feel safer here, I mean... the other neighborhood was kind of shady'' she said taking her eyes off me and I knew there was something she wasn't telling me but I decided to let it slide for now. I stared at the night sky through the window of the kitchen and my eyes met with the infinity of the stars, that always made me feel small and insignificant compared to the rest of the universe, just another life, if I were to die only a small insignificant part of life in the universe would care about it but nevertheless I knew that my life, even when it was small to the universe, it was important and I needed to cherish it. But for some reason I felt a shiver running through his back... it felt like death was near and I wondered why. ... ... It was the night of a very lazy Sunday when I realized that I stupidly forgot my books at my friend's house. I ran out of my room and when I was at the door my father stopped me. `'Stuart, where are you going this late?'' he asked in a serious tone, I looked at him for a moment and I could smell even from where I was standing that he'd been drinking, I said I was going to see my friend Marcus to retrieve something and left without saying anything more. He didn't even called me to stop me, I guess he didn't really cared anyways. I walked towards my friend's house and I felt the cold wind of the night running through the leaves on the ground, making sounds of despair and loneliness, I always felt like that specially when my father drank but I got to the point where I couldn't care anymore about the shit he does. My steps took my near the school and since my friend's house was at opposite side of the school I decided to take a short cut through the school yard. I walked and stepped on the grass, my steps were loud, and even if it was windy I could hear them. `Step-step-step-step' were the sounds it made, I kept walking and reached the football field and I walked through it. `step-step-step-step' were the sounds my own two feet made and I should've hear it coming... because my steps were quiet and only two of them so I should've heard it even before I walked into the football field... But it was too late once I heard it. `STEP-STEPSTEP-STEP-STEPSTEP' there were someone else walking on the grass, I could hear it now between my steps. `'Who is there?'' I asked and looked around and the light on the football field came to life blinding me temporarily. When my eyes finally adjusted to the light I saw a ball coming to where I was... it wasn't a football, I would expect to see a football on a football field but that ball was big round and colorful... kind of like a ball you would see in a circus act. It came bouncing and bouncing at me and it stopped at my feet. I should've expect it... now I realize that... if there was a circus ball then there was ought to be a clown, but my mind did not registered him even when he was wearing those bright clothes stained on red paint... well, now that I think about it that was probably blood... my mind did not registered him even when he was carrying that huge knife on his hand... I only saw him coming when he was actually coming towards me smiling and laughing like a maniac, well, he was indeed a maniac. `'Ladies and Gentlemen!'' he yelled in a bright cheery voice and I turned back on my heels to run away in fear. `'We are proud to present Mr. Cheers on his special act!'' he yelled while running towards me, I tried to scream for help but my voice could not come out of my throat, so I ran and ran as fast as I could. I turned around and I saw that he wasn't following me anymore, I couldn't see him anywhere and for just a second I thought that I was able to lost it but once I looked again in front of me he was already there smiling at me. I could see him now clearly, his face was white with a few red spots splattered around, his lips were painted in red, his hair was bright orange, a red clown nose, eyes as black as his soul and he had a huge unnatural smile on his face showing all of his teeth that actually looked like fangs. I screamed but a sharp pain on my stomach made me stop. `'What's wrong baby? Stomach ache?'' he said laughing and I looked down to my stomach where I could see that huge knife buried deep on my skin. He twisted it and I groaned in intense pain. `'Well damn little boy, you look pale, maybe you should lay down!'' he said and took the knife out and quickly kicked me on the stomach making me fall on my back. The intense pain was like nothing else I've felt before, it was horrible and I just wanted it to end already. I stared at the night sky and I couldn't see the stars because of the bright lights of the football field, man... at least I wanted to see some beauty before I died but all I saw was his face as he looked down on me. I couldn't scream anymore I suddenly felt really tired and cold but I could still feel him as he sat on my lap and lifted my shirt to see my wound. I felt something warm and wet and with disgust I realized that he was running his tongue on my open wound... I couldn't take it anymore I just wanted to die now... please God, I know you're out there, please forgive my sins and let me be with you, because I don't want to be here anymore, I am scared, I want my mom and dad even when he was a drunk I want him with me I need him with me I am scared and I need someone by my side. God didn't let me die right there... I wish he did but instead I had to see this horrible monster looking with a twisted smile at me as he stabbed me again on the same spot... then he did it again... and again... and again... He laughed... I cried... But then the pain subsided and I stopped feeling, the world became black... and God let me be finally gone. ... ... It was Monday morning now, I woke up early and took a shower, got changed on a simple attire and headed downstairs to get some breakfast and I found Martha the maid already serving several plates with oat meal, fruit, French toast and orange juice. She smiled at me when she saw me. `'Oh I do love an early bird, Good morning dear'' she said with thick Russian accent. I smiled back at her and placed a kiss on her cheek `'Good morning Martha'' she looked a little taken back by the kiss and I laughed a little `'I'm sorry is a Spanish costume to kiss-greet someone'' she nodded her head and smiled again `'Oh so that's why Sergio does it all the time! I thought that my charm was getting back to me. I laughed a little and sat down to eat. `'Oh don't laugh little boy, I was a really beauty back in the day'' she said while serving more food on the plates. `' Oh but Martha you are still beautiful I bet you can steal hearts everywhere around'' I said and she slapped me playfully on the shoulder. `'Don't patronize me boy, I only care about stealing the heart of one man right now'' I looked at her and was about to ask who but then Pumpkin, Linda and Vincent arrived at the dining room. `'Oh, look who is here'' Linda said and smiled wickedly at Vincent but he obviously couldn't see it. `'Who?'' he asked and Pumpkin laughed and ran towards me and hugged me tight `'Good morning!'' he said. I smiled at him, he was a kind child, always smiling and with a huge heart, his powers were still to show up and he would get down at that fact sometimes, but he was still the more lovely kid I've ever seen, well him and Julian. `'Good morning, Henrik!'' said Linda with a huge wicked grin and I heard a small yelp coming from Vincent, he blushed and his lip started to tremble. I wanted to laugh but instead I just answered her. `'Good morning, Linda. And good morning Pumpkin'' I said hugging Pumpkin, then I looked at Vincent. `'Good morning to you Vincent'' I said in a sweet voice and he answered in a whisper. Linda laughed and sat down on the table with her brother and Vincent, soon enough the rest of the tribe started to arrive at the table, I noticed that when Sergio arrived he indeed greeted Martha with a kiss on her cheek and she winked at me like saying `I told you so' `'So I was thinking, if we are all going to the same place we should take the van and ride together'' Said Samantha while fixing her glasses, she was addressing the members of the tribe that went to the same school. `'Well that's good with me'' Said Linda who was the owner of the old school van that Samantha was speaking off. I looked at Sean and Vincent who agreed as well and I said yes too. So after breakfast I said goodbye to my mother who was taking a ride from Martha to the hospital where she worked and got up on the van with my school-mates. Only Sean, Samantha, Linda and Vincent went to the same school as me, the rest of the kids on the tribe where together to a different school so we only were able to meet them at the academy. I was on the back seat of the van with Linda and Vincent, the road was quiet except for the fact that Sean kept bothering Samantha just to see her get mad and punch him on the arm. I laughed hard and almost didn't heard Vincent when he spoke to me but then again I think I could never miss that sweet voice of him ever. `'You went to see him?'' he asked me and I knew he was talking about Julian. `' Not today, but last night we played in his room until he fell asleep'' I said and Vincent looked a little weird out about it `'He fell asleep? Well that's odd ever since he woke up he keeps saying that he doesn't want to go to sleep, that he is too afraid to never wake up'' he said and turned his face at me. I took a moment to look at him, his white eyes and his beautiful face, I wanted to kiss him so badly and I realized that I had the biggest crush on him right now. `'Well he seemed to be sleeping fine when I left the room'' I said and he made a thinking expression putting his hand on his chin. But then, as we were arriving the school, he became serious, his face grew to a surprised look and his hand dropped from his chin. He looked again like he was choking on water and Linda quickly held his hand, I did the same thing `'S-Sean!'' he yelled and Sean stopped the car to look at him. `'T-the football field, head to the football field!'' Sean didn't protest or questioned him, he started the engine once again and drove to the parking lot near the football field. Linda got off and led Vincent down the car, I followed them towards the field confused and wondering what was going on and then we met with a small crowd of students who seemed like they just arrived to the field themselves. There was a boy throwing up and a girl crying and screaming frenetic and there were two other boys holding a football player who seemed at the verge of turning crazy, he wanted to reach something but they were holding him. Then I realized what he was trying to reach. That sight... I will never forget what I saw for the rest of my life... On the ground of the football field was the corpse of a young boy, probably a year or two older than me. He had blood all over the upper part of his body. His shirt was lifted so I was able to see where that blood was coming from. His stomach was wide open, it seemed like he was stabbed several times to make a huge hole on his stomach and it ended up showing everything inside of him... I felt sick and weak on my knees... then I saw his face, it was twisted on an expression of pure horror and eternal pain, there were little tears still visible around his eyes. He was murdered, I heard Samantha scream and Linda trying to cover her eyes. Sean ran towards me and took me in his arms to cover my face from the scene and I realized that I was screaming too. Vincent was the only one who couldn't see it but I know he realized what was happening... it was obvious he saw it happening in the car, he had a vision and saw this horrible thing happening so didn't need to see the corpse to know what was going on. The rest was a blur... teachers arrived and took all of us away from the scene as the police and an ambulance arrived... I knew the ambulance was useless now but I didn't say anything. They took us to the principal's office where they called the guidance counselor and the school's psychologist. They talked to all of us and told us our parents were on their way. They cancelled classes and told us the police would want to talk to us when our parents arrive. One by one we talked to the counselor and the psychologist and then waited on the waiting room of the principal's office when the door flew open and in came the jerk jock I found on my first day of school, he had a frantic face looked ready to punch someone. `'Who did this?!'' he yelled to nobody in particular and we all looked at each other with worry and confusion. Then the jock who was being held by two other boys spoke up. `'You think that if I knew I would be sitting here, Seamus?!'' he yelled at him and the jerk jock Seamus walked to where he was and took him by the collar of his shirt `'Fuck you, Marcus! You were supposed to be looking after him!'' Marcus, the other jock was about to punch him when Sean got in the middle and pushed them away from each other. `'Calm the fuck down you two!'' Seamus looked at him for a second and little tears started to form at the edge of his eyes. He stormed away and for some reason I got up. `'I... I'll go after him'' I said and followed him... I don't know what came over me but I had to follow him. The school was empty so it was easy to track him down. `'Seamus!'' I yelled and he turned around to look at me, then... everything happened in a second... I felt two strong arms pulling me back as I heard the door of a classroom being open. The arms pulled me back away several steps and I saw a knife flying in front of me almost piercing my head. Outside the classroom came... a clown with the most twisted smile I've seen in my life. He ran to pick up the knife and smile at me. `'Ladies and Gentlemen!'' he yelled and laughed at us like a maniac and my whole body started to tremble. I looked up and I saw that Sean was the one who saved my life and pulled me away from the danger and he had the same worried and scared expression I was sure I had. `'We are proud to present our next act! The Blade Russian Roulette!'' he yelled and started to laugh again then he pointed the knife towards me, then to Sean and then turned around to point it to Seamus while singing. `' Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, Catch a tiger by the toe'' We couldn't move it was like the fear and confusion got us stuck to the ground `'If he hollers, let him go, Eeny, meeny, miny, moe'' He sang and the he stopped when the knife was pointing towards Seamus and I knew what was happening. `'Run!'' I yelled and it seemed like we all could move again, I saw Seamus trying to turn around and run but in the blink of an eye the clown was in front of him. `'Oh I don't think so big boy'' He said and with one single movement with his hand he stabbed Seamus on the arm making him scream in pain. Seamus slipped and fell to the ground, I realized that the knife was still buried in his arm and the clown quickly ran towards the wall where a fire axe was in case of any emergency and broke the glass to take the axe and then ran towards Seamus who was on the ground trying to get away. `'Timber!'' the Clown yelled and lifter the axe upwards. `'Oh no you won't'' Said Sean and I saw him snap his fingers. When the clown tried to attack Seamus, the head of the axe slide from the wood and fell hard on the floor. The clown quickly took it in his hands and kneeled besides Seamus and I watched in pure horror when in just one movement he cut Seamus left arm. The screams of Seamus were piercing my ears and I did what I could and moved my arm to make the clown fly far away from him. Sean and I ran towards Seamus and took him by the shoulders and we started to drag him away from the scene. I noticed a second later that I was pulling on a lighter part and I saw that we left his arm behind. There was nothing we could do but get him away from that... monster. `'R-run, leave me'' He said and I was surprised for a second. `'Look you were a fucking jerk before, you don't get to act like a hero and die so we can escape! You will survive asshole!'' I said to him and I saw the fucking clown coming towards us with the knife in one hand and Seamus arm in the other. Seamus saw that and he passed out in shock. `'Oh boy! I sure wish I had some popcorn for this! But I have this'' the clown said and he showed us Seamus arm, he took it and took one finger to his mouth. `'Mr. Cheers sure loves himself some fingers'' `'Stop!'' I yelled and he was sent flying away by my power before he could take a bite of Seamus fingers. Then we heard voices coming down the hallway. `'Help! Help us!'' I yelled and I heard them coming closer. I turned around and the clown was nowhere to be seen. Help came a second later when the policemen ran towards us and called some paramedics, they asked us what happened and I just said that someone has attacked us and ran away just now. One officer ran to look for that monster and the paramedics appeared a second later. Seamus was rushed to the hospital. Whatever it was that just happened I knew that it was just the tip of the iceberg and that it wasn't over... my suspicions were confirmed when the officer told us that he couldn't find that monster.
