33 Chapter 33: Killing Spree

The woman stepped off the bus with fear. She’d just gotten home from work. Because of the three-day sales at the mall where she worked, she had to work extra hours. The woman leaves work at one o’clock in the morning. The woman entered her rented house swiftly. She went to the kitchen right away to fetch some water. She was drinking when she heard a noise from inside the room. The woman quickly set the glass down on the table and entered the room.

“Tanya?” she called to her flatmate.

The woman heard a peculiar noise followed by a noise that seemed to have fallen. She was shocked and looked around. She was tense. The woman carefully opened the door by grasping the doorknob.

“T-Tanya?” she called again.

The light in the room is blinking. She went straight for her friend, who was lying on the bed. She smiled before turning to face the lamp.

“I told you to change the light bulb in your room,” she says.

She looked at her friend. She paid close attention. They had known each other since they were children, and she knew the friend. Her friend couldn’t sleep without a blanket covering half of her body, no matter how hot the weather was. She approached her, touched the leg, and then shook her gently.

“Tanya, have you had anything to eat yet?” she asked. She felt her skin was chilly and grasped it in her palm. Her friend’s entire body was icy as well. She became bewildered and stuck his finger in its nose to test whether she was breathing, but his eyes widened when she noticed there was no air coming out.

“T-Tanya,” she began.

.....

It surprised the woman when the light went out. Tanya stroked her neck, and the light went off for a few seconds. Her friend strangles her. She strained to break Tanya’s grasp on her neck. Because of the shortage of breath, she would open her lips slowly, which was her error. Gradually, she felt as if something icy was tearing inside her, which she couldn’t explain until the cold thing caressed upwards in her throat and out of her mouth.

“We didn’t expect you to know how to cook, Sir Reed.”

Reed is grilling meat, while Jasmin, Avery, and Emy are preparing different dishes. Reed said nothing, instead of staring at the boys playing on the beach.

“Sir, please allow me to ask you a question. Don’t you regret it? We’ve closed our office for several days.” Avery said.

“It’s okay. We still have several branches and one more. When we come back, I’ll send the two of you out to perform office work and double sales.” Reed said.

“Whoa, should we be worried, Sir?” Jasmin asked.

“You should be,” Reed replied.

Emy turned to face her father. “What are you looking at, Dad?” ”

“News,” Eddie said. He showed the three women the video he was watching on his phone. “It killed a couple and a child one night.” It’s now the teens’ turn. ”

“Are these random killings?” Jasmin asked. “What is the reason for the murderer to do this?”

“They simply assumed that,” Avery said. “Since psychopaths don’t kill them because there are no wounds. Everything was clean.”

“So they’re simply assuming every victim has a heart attack?” Emy asked.

“You see, it is difficult for them to tell media how those victims die without wounds or anything that might cause their death. The police announce the same result. Autopsies and tests were repeated, but only one result was obtained. No cause of death was discovered.” Avery said.

Emy was stunned. She remembered what the man had said the night before. Reed was glancing at his brothers on the beach when she noticed him. Emy rose to her feet and approached Reed.

“The meat is on fire,” Emy exclaimed.

Reed turned to Emy before he looked back at the meat he was grilling. “Oh,” Reed said as he grabbed the meat from the grill.

“Are you okay?” Emy asked.

“I’m worried,” Reed said.

“Why so?” Emy asked.

Reed cast a gaze towards the distance before turning to face Emy. “I want you and your family to be careful. If at all possible, do not allow your siblings and father to roam around outside the house first.” Reed said. “It’s too dangerous, especially with you and your family.”

“Are you worried about my family?” Emy asked.

“I know they’re important to you, so I’d like to treat them like you,” Reed said.

Reed’s words tickled Emy. She couldn’t help but smile, as though something tickled her heart.

“Are you smiling?” Reed asked, puzzled.

Emy cleared her throat. “Hrm... Do you know who is killing?”

“Do you remember who attacked our office the last time?” Reed asked. Reed noticed it surprised Emy for a little. “You’re right. This time, though, they are a new type of demon.”

“Another kind?” Emy asked.

Reed gave a nod. “Demons who kill humans are known as soul eaters. They kiss their victims to death.”

“Kiss?” Emy was confused.

Reed noted Emy’s reaction. He couldn’t help but smile. “Kiss, that’s what soul eaters do. They sucked the souls of their victims out of their bodies. ”

“Ah,” Emy said, blushing. “I’m sorry, I was mistaken. I thought...”

Reed chuckled, making Emy blush even more. She bit her lower lip.

“Don’t do it,” Reed warned.

“W-what?” Emy asked.

Reed brought his face near to Emy’s, assuming Reed would kiss her. Reed’s face moved by and went near her ear, causing her breathing to cease for a while.

“You still owe me, don’t you?” Reed whispered.

“W-what?” Emy whispered.

“You put yourself to sleep on me with me last night, and we were supposed to make a baby last night,” Reed whispered. Reed slowly shifted his gaze away from Emy, smiling at her reaction. “Are you blushing? If I haven’t tasted you yet, I’ll assume you’re still a virgin because... Aw! ”

“Stop...” Emy said.

Reed chuckled, and everyone turned to look at them. “You cook. I’ll accompany my brothers.” Emy said as she raced closer to the shore.

A guy dashed out of the gym, but all the doors, including the windows, were locked. The man built a boxing gym after resigning from his work abroad. There was a noise in his locker room. After turning around, he entered the locker room. He spotted black smoke emerging from the hole beneath the door.

He took a step back and drifted away. The black smoke is gradually taking on the shape of a human. In terror, he sat on the floor and retreated away from the smoke, but it approached him, and the smoke crept closer to his feet, pulling him closer to its body, and he soared into the air.

The car was traveling along a route with few residences. This is a group of young people who want to spend their summer vacation on a beach.

“You’re driving fast...” said a woman sitting next to the driver in the front seat.

“What are you worried about, babe, not having a car?” the man said.

Their passengers’ noisy yelling distracted the woman in the rear seat and singing. Their car abruptly halted a few minutes into the trip. Slow, slowly at first, then stop.

“What happened, dude?” His friend inquired.

“I’m not sure,” he said.

Except for his girlfriend, they got out of the car. They gathered in front of the car and opened the door. They looked around. Woods surround the road on both sides. The woman who was left inside the car took a deep breath. She gathered the things that had dropped from her bag owing to the abrupt halt of the car under her seat. Because of what happened, they almost collided with the front of the car.

“That man was incredibly bothersome. He doesn’t listen to me while he’s with his friends.” the woman said, annoyed.

She was about to gather up her things when she heard screaming from outside the car. “How could I have thought of joining them?”

She peered out the window after she finished her last thing. She couldn’t see his colleagues. The entire area was calm when she got out of the car, so she didn’t expect to see her friends laying down on the road. She stood like a statue on the side of a car, staring at her friends. When she heard the commotion behind hers, he became quite scared. Slowly turning around, she noticed a cloud of black smoke in the shape of a human approaching her. She dashed towards the bushes.

“Do you know how to swim?”

Emy shook her head and glanced at Reed. They were on a jet ski, and Reed taught her how to drive it. They’re a long distance away and can’t even see the coast. Reed sat behind her.

Emy shook her head. “Are you serious?” Reed asked.

“You already know where I live. And this is our first visit to the water. None of us can swim.” Emy said.

“Oh, I see,” Reed said.

Emy snatched Reed’s arm by the wave. She was tense. Reed was astounded as Emy stood up and turned to face him. She is now straddling him. Reed took a minute to gaze at Emy.

“I’m sorry, but I’m afraid.” “I don’t know how to swim,” Emy said.

“Do you realize it’s dangerous for you to do this, Wifey?” Reed asked.

“Are you saying we’re going to sink?” Emy asked. She was quite nervous.

“No. What I mean is that something else will drown you because of what you did.” Reed said.

“What?” Emy asked, confused.

Reed grabbed her arm and tugged Emy till her lower half rubbed against his hardness. It surprised Emy when she felt a hard thing filling her cave. He reddened unexpectedly.

Reed smiled. “You want what’s on my mind, don’t you?” ”

“What did you say?” Emy asked. That is difficult for us to do here. ”

Reed said nothing, instead of grabbing Emy’s back of the head and pulling it closer to his face. They kissed. He began kissing her again, certain that he would never see her again. Even though they aren’t in a relationship, she is growing addicted to Reed.

“Oh...” Emy whispered as Reed’s kiss slid down her neck, collarbone, and through her shirt.

Reed sucked his nip after lifting the hem of her shirt and adjusting her bra. She was stunned by Reed’s sudden movement. Reed sucked her nip till milk came out of it. Reed grabbed her hip and forced the hardness to her lower half. The sensation of his firm penis rubbing against Emy’s clit through her shorts was incredible. He couldn’t stop herself from moving faster over Reed. The deep tension was progressively penetrating her entire body. Dry humping arouses them. Their hips are moving quickly and in sync with each other. Emy looked at Reed, who continued to suck on his nip.

.....

“Yes!” Emy moaned, then held Reed closely on the head while he was still sucking on her nip. “I’m cumming, Reed,” Emy whispered.

“Oh crap! Wifey, come to me... “Reed said as he released his lips on Emy’s nip, and their desire exploded after a while.” Reed hugged Emy firmly and moaned together until the heat they were feeling dissipated.

“Damn, Wifey. I’m not expecting us to dry hump.” Reed said. “I felt like a teenager doing that stupid thing on you. I don’t want to waste my sperm.”

He didn’t wait for Emy to respond before kissing her again on the lips.
