At the end, I followed after the car. Honestly, it was not what I had in my mind. It was all traffic's fault. Do they have to show the green light the moment I stepped out of the car? Ah, the result of my efforts may not fructify after all. Too much issues, right?
The car took a U-turn and so did I. Judging by the gradual decrease in traffic and people, it was safe to assume that he is taking her to a more secluded area. Good for him, and bad for me. With my current power, he will just snap my neck with his hands.
After a few turns, the car stopped in front of a house. The house looked... 'unattended.' There were vines growing over the gates. A perfect place for... a 'crime.'
There were a few other houses around, yet they were situated too from this particular house. Another point for this 'man.' It's clear that I am at a severe disadvantage, and if I am correct in my assessment... then 'one' minute. That's the time limit.
The man got out of the car and dragged Lindy along with him. Her beautiful red dress was now covered in mud. Her eyes were hazy, yet you could tell that she was terrified. Terrified of him. Terrified of what was going to happen with her.
A screeching sound was heard when he opened the gate. He slowly ran his fingers over the vines. It was as if he liked touching them.
Removing my shoes, I slowly got out of the car. I have to be quiet. Making a small sound would definitely alert this creature.
"Plants are much better than humans. So pure and lovable. They always like to steal from you, don't they? Hypocrites... that's what they are. But on the other hand, you... my dear, are so much true," said the man.
Okay, if he disliked humans... then why did he try to flirt with me? Hey! Be specific in your character design! I am confused by your actions.
The man entered the gate, and walked into the house, pulling Lindy by her hands.
The door was shut with a bang.
What should I do now? I can't just go into the house and say, 'Hi! The woman that you have kidnapped is my friend. Not exactly a friend, but... something akin to it. Also, I don't like people like you who force themselves on women. Consent is a must, you know. So, would you please hand her over?'
Would it work?
Nah! It won't work. It's like I am telling the school bully to stop bullying.
Then, I can use the other option. Maybe the only available option, which could help me save Lindy.
I opened the gate and entered that man's 'territory.' There must be a window or something which will get me inside the house. Now, all I had to do is... find it.
With light steps, I circled the house, in the hopes of finding an open window. And to my luck, I found one. It leads to the kitchen. Perfect! Without any thought, I got into the house through the kitchen's window.
The kitchen was messy. A very bad smell greeted my nose. Food was sprawled across the floor. It had already started to decompose. But the putrid smell was not from the decomposed food. Human flesh. That's what the smell was. I took out the gloves from my pocket and put it on. There were few drops of blood on the sink's top. I wiped it with my index finger and observed it. It was fresh. But there were some blood stains which were almost a few months old. The blood has already coagulated.
Fuck my luck! I looked around and found a few knives. I pocketed them into the pocket and slowly made my way into the living room. Along the way, there were bloody clothes laying across the floor.
This man... no... 'creature' eats people. What the fuck did I stumble upon? A cannibal... wow, I am very lucky. If I had anyone to share this 'happiness' with, I would have just danced like a madman... 'madwoman.' I am telling anyone who can hear my words. 'Please come here, and enjoy yourself. See, a cannibal is calling you... and your blood is crying in desperation. Your flesh is shivering with your, and your soul wants to be liberalised.'
Taking a deep breath, I walked slowly into bedroom. I could hear some noise coming from it. I slowly pushed the door with my leg and peeked inside.
A large tongue was coming out of that man's mouth. No, a fucking monster! That's what it is. Fuck! That tongue was licking Lindy's face. A trail of saliva was left on her face with every single lick.
"You have been following me for a long time," said the 'monster.'
My blood ran cold when I heard those words. It seems he knows that I have been following him for almost an hour.
Controlling my urge to bolt, I asked, "What are you? Certainly, you are not a human."
"Don't state the obvious," said the 'monster.'
"Then, what are you? From what I have seen... at the very best, you are a cannibal."
The 'monster' snarled, "Don't lump me with your fellow human ingrates! I am much more above than your hubristic and hypocritic asses!" he retracted his tongue, "Fine, let's start with introductions. My name is Rupert Sacez. You have my card; you must have read my name."
