Hours of darkness But I was a child

His Trophy Wife, The Apex Predator

His Trophy Wife, The Apex Predator

Eydie Pfefferle
My husband of three years, Arthur Vanderbilt, came home smelling of his mistress's perfume and threw divorce papers on our marble kitchen island. He demanded I sign away all rights to our assets for a five-million-dollar "severance," calling me a leech his family picked up from the suburbs to solve a temporary PR crisis. When I refused and demanded my four percent equity in the Vanderbilt Group, he and his mistress, Serena, launched a vicious smear campaign. They planted false stories on Wall Street forums, accusing me of laundering money for an Eastern European crime syndicate. They tried to force my hand with a check for five hundred million, which I tore up and threw in his face. To them, I was just a trophy wife they could easily discard. They had no idea that the "leech" they so despised was the anonymous investor who had secretly bailed out their entire company three years ago, saving them from bankruptcy. Their final move was to hire an actress to publicly accuse me of fraud in the lobby of the most powerful law firm in Manhattan. They didn't realize I was there to retain the firm's most ruthless lawyer. After security threw them out, I looked my replacement in the eye and made her a promise. "Prepare for an FBI probe into perjury and corporate defamation."

There was chaos everywhere as people ran helter-skelter while screaming loudly.

Many ladies had split their pencil skirts in two to aid in their quick escape from the museum. Others threw off their costly wigs, some broke their heels, others threw away their designer bags.

A black-haired lady who wore no make-up, and was clad in a black knee-length gown and low silver sandals, stood in the midst of all this chaos wondering: "What's going on?"

She was someone who doesn't quickly react to emergency situations. Now everyone was running aimlessly from something she couldn't even see. She adjusted her silver bag and looked around in puzzlement.

"Why are they running?" she thought.

"Run for your lives, the devil has descended on our land," an old man shouted as he ran past her.

The lady saw that the parking lot of the museum had no soul in it. No one had bothered to even ride their cars. Many had apparently even lost their car keys.

It was then that the lady began to run, she was heading for the entrance gate.

"Stop right there!" she heard a voice that was loud, deep, rough and scary.

The lady stopped in her tracks and turned around to see a scary sight. There was a monster looking at her. He was almost 2.5m and his hair was green and in several braids that reached his waist. There was the tattoo of a serpent on his chest which trailed down to his stomach.

A/n: "he has 6 packs!"

He had green snake scales on his hands, belly, face, neck, and chest. His ears were pointed like an elf and he had long, sharp, black fingernails. He had a nose ring with tiny chains that were joined to the golden earring in the shape of a serpent that was worn in his right ear. His teeth were yellow and sharp, his tongue came out and she saw it was forked. What was even scarier was the fact that he has a black and red stripped snake's tail that was very long!

"Don't you dare try to escape!" the monster said in a baleful manner.

When the monster was speaking to her, she had seen that he had developed long vampire fangs, and his eyes turned from gold to red. She gulped and turned around.

She then broke into a run, passing the museum's entrance gate and heading for the streets.

The monster chased after her; leisurely gliding on the ground with his tail, his arms folded.

"Silly human, keep running. No matter what you do, or where you hide, you will become my meal. I can't wait to taste you." the monster said with a sinister laugh, not increasing nor reducing the speed he used to chase her.

The lady kept running until she got to the main roads.

She was surprised to see a great lineup of cars with no one inside them. As she ran in the midst of the cars on the highways, the monster behind her kept lifting cars like they were as light as a pencil. He would then throw them away, not caring where they fell to or whom they hit. Many buildings were destroyed in the process.

*******

3 minutes later.

He was closing in on her.

The lady did not know what to do. She was getting tired, but she knew couldn't stop. This monster here will also easily catch up to her, no matter how hard she ran. She saw that there was no escape for her. She also couldn't turn back to face that unsightly monster.

"Help! Help! Save me!" she kept screaming as she ran, but no one came to her rescue. She started crying.

"Why? Why me? Girl, why were you so stupid? You had the chance to escape this trouble. But now look, you're being pursued; struggling for a chance to see tomorrow's sunlight." she condemned herself for having a slow brain.

Everyone around hid in their homes; praying that this devilish monster wouldn't come to kill them.

"What do I do? Who will save me?" she thought as she ran. The lady suddenly kicked against a stone and fell down.

She fearfully turned her head to look back, only the see the monster 3 feet away from her.

He stopped moving and stared at her for a moment.

"Pfft! Hahaha! Hahaha! I told you, didn't I? No matter what you do, I will still catch you." he said.

"Time to have a taste of you... lovely one!"

All hope was lost!

"Girl, you are so unlucky. You'll die young and unmarried. You haven't even seen much of life yet." she thought.

She wiped her tears and closed her eyes, bracing for pain and death, when suddenly, she heard sounds of sirens.

"Sirens! Yes, the police are here. Thank goodness. I can live. I have hope!" she encouraged herself in her heart.

She heard sounds of shooting and opened her eyes.

Indeed, the monster's attention had been diverted. He had turned around to face the police officers and soldiers that had just arrived. They were continuously firing bullets at the monster, but the monster's skin seemed impenetrable. All the bullets shot at him always fell to the ground.

The lady did not care anymore as she immediately took off her scandals and retreated slowly. Then she turned around and began to run away.

The soldiers and police officers were determined. No matter what, this monster must go down. They kept walking closer to the monster while firing a series of bullets. The monster turned his head and saw that his prey had escaped.

Furious, he roared and smashed two cars on his right and left.

"Idiots! Do you think these toys can hurt me?" the monster yelled and then spurted out a green mist that enveloped all the soldiers and police officers.

It resulted in a lot of cars being set ablaze and all the police and soldiers dropping to the ground dead. The monster hissed and then glided to one of them. He sank his long fingernails into the chest of a police officer and pulled out his heart.

He then threw it into his mouth and chewed it noisily, like it was the most delicious food ever. Then he gouged out the two eyes of the deceased cop, which he swallowed. He began to this to every dead person in the place, pulling out their hearts and eyes to eat and swallow.

The corpses were beginning to fester and then the monster started cutting out all their di*ks and chewed on them.

Blood flowed down his hands and mouth down to his chest as he did this disgusting thing.

"Boy! I'm so thirsty," the monster muttered.

He saw a five-month-old baby left inside a small car and his eyes lit up.

"Fresh and pure wine to drink," he said happily as he rushed to the car and broke the glasses.

The baby had been crying, but when he carried the baby, it suddenly stopped crying and smiled.

The monster's eyes then lit up. He bit the baby's wrist gently and blood flowed out, making the baby start crying again. The monster then spoke some incantations in a strange language and the wound on the baby's wrist automatically healed.

"That's right, my dear! You will continue from where I stopped. You will cause the greatest havoc, one that I can't even imagine. In 15 years, your power will awaken, my dear. Do not fail me!" the monster said before putting the baby back into the back seat of the red car.

Then he turned around and glided in the direction that his prey ran to.
