"Very nice," he remarked, tilting his head to one side as he judged the body, which lay butchered at his feet, "Give you four out of ten for that one. Getting better." He stepped closer to her, his hand trailing gently up her back; she shivered, her eyes involuntarily closing as she savoured his touch. His fingers ran round the line of her jaw and raised her chin to make eye contact, their eyes met and electricity jolted through her body. He smiled, her desire running through him like adrenalin, "One day child, not yet." She sighed sadly; her eyes fell to her victim. He tapped her lightly and whispered, "Until next time little one" before he turned and faded into the darkness of the forest.
She awoke the next morning, stiff from the night before. Her body ached with every movement she made, stretching slowly and carefully, she dressed herself, her mind replaying the events of the night, a surreal daydream to get the day off to a good start. Murder always turned her on, and victims she took died at the highest point of sexual bliss, it was the least she could do for them. They were giving her their life; she had to make sure they died happy.
She spent her day in school fantasizing, fantasizing about everyone she passed in the corridor, caught a glimpse of in the crowd. She wondered what it would feel like to take them, how they would react. She knew girls who called themselves sexual predators, but they were nothing compared to her. She really had the killer instinct. She wondered what it would be like to take one of them; it would be a challenge. Men were easy to excite, and most of them never thought she was really going to kill them. They viewed it as some weird sex game, in a way it was, but her games always ended in their demise. No one had survived an encounter with her.
She was tired after last night, but she wanted to take someone tonight. Just to see him again, he gave her the will to live; he gave her the gift to kill. She mused that if it hadn't been for her chance meeting with him, she'd be like every other 18-year-old girl in her school, guided by hormones into the bed of every narcissistic guy she knew, to be talked about incessantly, compared to all the others, with their bleached blonde hair and non-existent skirts. She liked not being like that, she would submit to only one.
The bell rang, resounding horribly in her head. She exited her class quietly, blending in with the crowd. They never gave her a second glance, as per usual. Ironic, for many who had passed among them, hers had been the last face they had ever seen. As she wove through the crowd, bag clutched to her chest, she spied out her victim.
Tall, shapely and moving with that unmistakable air of popularity-fed confidence, Daria watched her. She was beautiful, and she knew it too. Daria felt her body tense as she yearned for the taste of her. She followed her in the mass exodus from the school, tracking the girl with ease. The crowds thinned, she knew this girl. Vaguely. She lived on the other side of town; Daria knew when she would get her chance. They had to walk alongside the woods as they passed the bypass road. She'd grab her then, and then the games would begin.
Shadows sprawled lazily across the road and the girl crossed, walking under a canopy of drooping branches, Daria followed, her pace increasing as she quickly checked around for witnesses then lunged at the girl, dragging her, while gagging her mouth with her hand, into the undergrowth. They struggled for what seemed to Daria like an endless time, her chosen victim putting up a fight as she fought to get and stay on top, beating her into submission took a few minutes, but eventually she collapsed victorious on top of the gasping girl.
She paused as she caught her breath, pressing her full weight onto the squirming beauty spread beneath her. The girl's eyes were rolling wildly as she struggled and bit deep into Daria's hand. Pushing further over the girl's mouth, Daria reached for a stone, grasping it in one hand she raised it as high as she could, and dropped it heavily onto the girl's head.
