Chapter 1 Prologue
Prologue
Am a mystery, so is my life. Am called creep, the night owl, among all creepy names to have ever existed. I've always been wishing to know whom am and where i came from, but all these are in vain. What i know about myself is am Jude and i grew up in an orphanage.
One day, i asked sister- as we called her, who took me to the orphanage and she said, years ago good samaritans found me standing on the middle of the traffick stranded. I was asked what i was doing their, where my parents were and what was my name but i couldn't remember since I had lost my memories.The good samaritans took me to the orphanage where i was named Jude. I was four years old at that time, that's what they assumed cause i couldn't remember my age as well.
Days turned into weeks, weeks into months and months into years but nobody came looking for a lost child. The orphanage became my home. Most of the time, i found myself whisphering inwardly sometimes loud enough for everyone to hear that i miss home. One day, sister happened to hear me and she said, i should find home first before missing it. That was rude, right?
My interests were different from the other kids, they liked kicking balls, running around the playground, singing, dancing but none of these i found interesting. I liked running deep in the woods at night, i liked staying in dark places and, it was difficult for me to stay in bright lights.
During the days, when my agemates spent their days, playing under the sun i confined myself in my room which i made sure was painted black. After long day of playing they craved for cold juices and cakes but after locking myself for all day, i craved for blood and meat.. weird!
I used to have scary thoughts, like what will the children's blood taste if i pin them on the grounds or against the gray walls which stood straight dividing rooms in the spacious mansion and have my teeth sunk on their necks, i wondered how their meat will taste when i finally get to roast them. Anytime, when the others were given different types of food to eat, i cried for meat, everyday, and i was given.
When i clocked ten, i couldn't resist the urge anymore. At night i ran deep in the woods as usually, where i attacked a jackal and drank it's blood. Since that day i turned into a complete beast. I attacked sheep, goats and cows at our orphanage every single night but no one knew, they assumed wild animals sneaked in and did the damages.
One day, i tried to kill one of the girls. She told her friends that i was a creep because she had been seeing me leaving the orphanage at nights and i only returned in the morning sneaked in and pretended to be asleep like the rest of them. As their noises grew, chanting am a creep, i pounced on her, pinned her on the wall and sank my teeth on her neck. The taste of her blood, awaken a sudden desire in me. I felt satisfied and it dawned on me, i never craved for animals blood and flesh, i craved for humans...no wonder i never got satisfied. The children's wails brought me back to my senses and i gasped in shock! I hadn't attacked only one girl but five of them which lay dead on the carpeted cold floor.
I grabbed the few belongings i had and ran in the woods, blaming myself on what i had done. I wanted to go back and check if they were still breathing, but i was scared. Not of being put behind bars but of attacking more of them. Since that day, it became my normality, spending my days sleeping in the caves and going out at night to attack people.
I also needed a life so, i went in a different town where i started living like a completely different person. But i never stopped human hunting.I enrolled myself in a private school, got myself a job and a bestfriend too. I always prayed they will never know who am...a beast! A year later in the new town, i became aware of something weird. A man who walked behind a black shadow always stalked me.
I once asked my bestfriend if she see's him too, but she said she doesn't. I was supposed to be afraid but i wasn't and am not, cause he still stalks me up to date. I wonder who he is, but I think he's someone from home. I can't stop myself from missing home. I wish i'll one day remember where it is.
