The Search for Freedom

I remembered many things when I wasn't thinking about power and my mission in order to be free from this curse. I remembered when I was sitting there on the couch inside the living room of the mansion; walking on the passageway to the library, reading novels, playing with people around, and many others.

If I could survive the ordeal, I would never dream for anything again, I would be contented from anything I have, like those people who didn't had what I have, but though they were poor, they didn't assume for anything. They were contented of what they had and of what they could get. I also wanted to be the same with those people, because they weren't pursued by danger and living a simple life.

While walking on the narrow passageway, I saw Alicia going towards me, so we meet in the alley. Maybe she already found the next person who needed to fight with. I didn't want to waste my time in searching around if there was nothing showed up. It would only delayed my freedom.

"So, you found the next person I need to terminate?" I asked.

"Don't worry about it, I already saw her," Alicia replied.

"Do you mean the second person is a girl?"

Alicia nodded and said, "Yeah, but though she's a girl, you still need to prepare because your weakness may attack you again."

I didn't know what Alicia mean. Maybe she was talking about my sympathy to other people. This sympathy was my weakness, and if I would show my weakness to other, there was a possibility that I couldn't be free from the curse, and be enslaved forever.

My freedom lies on the death of those hundred of people. If I would let my weakness attack me, I could not gain the thing I solely want. I should never show my weakness to them.

"Bring me now to that girl, so that we can finish this," I ordered.

Alicia held my hand and we suddenly transported to a playground where there was no one else, but the green-painted benches, trees, and creeping grasses. The place didn't matter anymore, it still favored me, because if there was no people there, there was no one who could see me while doing a crime.

"Where's the girl you were talking about?" I asked Alicia.

"Do you see that little girl sitting on the swing there?"

I looked ahead and saw a little girl who was sitting on a swing. She was wearing a black shirt and pants. Her black hair was tied into two portions, and were bouncing on her back as she swung. I didn't expected I would need to kill a little girl like her.

"Don't tell me she's the girl who I need to kill."

"It's unbelievable, but you're right. She's the second person for you to kill, and as what I told you, you might show your weakness again."

"A little girl like her? But how can you say that she's the exact person if it seemed that she cannot even fight me?"

"Don't underestimate her, because you don't know what she can do. I know you've heard the saying that, 'we can't judge the book by its cover.' So get near and kill her, or else you can't be free from the curse forever."

"Yeah I know that. But are you sure she's one of those people who I need to kill?" I asked again. I needed to be sure about this, because if Alicia wasn't telling me the truth again, I would just waste another life.

"Don't you trust me?" Alicia replied. "Kill her now, for she might loss in our sight and we can't see her again. Don't let your weakness conquer you; you should put in your mind that you need kill her for your freedom." She slowly pushed me towards the girl that was not looking at us.

"Can you stop pushing me? I can walk by myself."

There was no other choices, but to do what I needed to do. Though she was little, I still need to be prepare because I didn't know if what she could do. Maybe she was small but at the same time terrible. She might be powerful that we could not find her quickly. Though I needed to kill that girl for my freedom, it could not be removed from me to have a sympathy, especially since she was so young to meet death.

I was walking towards her and it seemed that she didn't noticed me. I abruptly covered her mouth for the reason that it could make her to feel difficult to breath, so that she would be die easily.

"Aaaaww!" I exclaimed.

As what I thought, she wasn't just a normal girl, she had a capability to remove my hand from covering her mouth. She bit it as I failed to put it rightly around her lips. What kind of girl who had sharp teeth? There was a mark left on my hand, and blood dripped down.

I clenched my teeth to moderate the pain I felt. But I could feel the pain still. I removed my sight from the wound and replaced my focus and attention to the little girl who most likely a vampire.

Good to know that Alicia was to the rescue, but instead of helping me to stop the bleeding from my wound, what she stopped was the vampire girl who was trying to escape.

I covered my hand with my shirt to make it stopped from bleeding. I never expected there was a girl like her who had teeth which seemed to be knife when stabbing my hand. "What do you need from me? Just let me go!" the girl yelled.

Alicia held her arms from her back. Then I noticed that girl had reddish eyes, and round face with two cute dimples. She was cute to die, but I wouldn't let what she did pass by. I was so mad that I could take her teeth away.

I bravely walked towards the vampire girl and punched her face which made her head turned to the opposite position. I couldn't believe I was so strong to do that. Her neck was broken and totally turned flabby. Maybe it was because of my anger which made every veins around my body to be aroused and became stronger.
