| Prolonge ~ ⁰¹ |

As the rain poured hard, so is the stench of blood that painted the pavement bright red ~

Raw ~

Metallic ~

Intoxicating ~

The scent could have driven anyone to hide in corner while trembling in fear ~

Anyone, but not him ~

𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 ~

**Stab**

He, who caused the death of the man as he stabbed him multiple times until he's satisfied ~

𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 ~

**Smiling creepily while stabbing the man continuously**

He, who's smiling wickedly while tracing down his bloodied hand on his face, loving the rousing scent of fresh blood that Lingered on his skin ~

𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 ~

𝐀𝐡𝐡 ~ **Continuously sniffing his hand which is soaked in dead man's blood**

He, whose hands are dirtied from all his sins ~

The scream of the victims while begging for there lives to be spared excites him ~

The look of terror on their faces and the tears flowing down their eyes exalt him ~

Having their lives at his mercy makes him feel worshipped and glorified ~

As he bent down to grab and pull the knife out of the man's chest, his eyes lingered down the drops of blood mixing and vanishing with the heavy rain ~

It's fascinating how the rain could easily cover up the crime he committed. Without anyone noticing.........That's what he thought ~

𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝟐 ~

What did you do to him?

The sudden eruption of voice rang on his ear, making him grip hard on the sharp knife in his hands ~

His murderous eyes darted at the end of the ally way where the voice came from ~

There stood a figure of a child, a curious little one who doesn't have any idea what awaits him ~

𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 ~

Why don't you come closer and see?

His voice was soft and playful, contradicting the evil grin across his face, hidden by the hood. His grip tighten in excitement as the child came closer, little by little ~

𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝟐 ~

Is that blood on his chest?

The child asked, seeing the dead man lying on the ground with his open chest. He takes little step towards the man or more like take step towards his own doom. which he didn't know ~

𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 ~

You think so ~

𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 ~

Why don't you come closer, so you'll see even more ~

He asked in return, hiding his trembling hand, not from fear but from excitement ~

He could already imagine the stench of blood coming from the child with every step, making him go even more insane than he already is ~

The Flickering light coming from the nearby lamppost illuminated the child's face. Which is......

𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 ~

💭 𝐅𝐔𝐋𝐋 𝐎𝐅 𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 ~ 💭

𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 ~

𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝟐 ~

Did you kill him?

The child asked, seeing the man's open chest and raw blood that gushed out of his wounds ~

𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 ~

Yes ~

This short answer made the child look up, only to see the man leaning his face closer, smiling viciously ~

𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 ~

I killed him ~ **Whisper** **Raise the sharp knife in front of Child's face**

𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 ~

I killed him with this ~

He Proudly said inching the knife closer to Child's face ~

𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝟐 ~

Why? **Look at him**

𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 ~

**Knife almost pressing on Child's skin**

𝐔𝐧𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 ~

Why not ~ **Smirk**
