Weapon Society

The woman turned around and looked at me. At first she thought I didn't pose any threat because of my age and made fun of me, but after seeing the knife in my hand, she pushed the kid in my direction and ran away into another room.

-Take her! Just take her and leave me alone!

I felt the kid crash against my body, causing me to fall back. I could've dodged her or caught her, but to be honest my brain wasn't working at that time. The beauty of the woman blinded me, because even if her face was dirty, she was really and absolutely gorgeous. It was everything about her that got my attention: From her silky dark hair, to her beautiful black eyes, which paired perfectly with her cute nose. There was not a single thing about her that seemed flawed and that made me realize that everything about that woman was just perfect.

-Hey kid, is your aunt single? -I laughed while getting both of us up.

-Yeah…? I think so…-she said while I wiped her tears off with my jacket.

-Heh, no wonder why…

I laughed at my own joke, but the kid didn't have the same reaction. Even if she was with her aunt for a few seconds, her breath was shaky and the tears never stopped falling down her face.

My first thoughts were that a joke could've helped to ease her nerves, but after seeing the state she was in, I realised that I may have been wrong.

Still, what I said about her aunt wasn't a joke: she was in fact a very gorgeous woman. However, pretty or not, I still had a job to do.

I took the other combat knife and placed it in her hands, ordering her to keep watch on the door while I chased after her aunt to deal with her. Before leaving to the room where the woman was, I pinched the kid's cheek and patted her head.

-Hello lady! -I said with a big smile as I walked into the room where the woman was, which I realized was the kitchen-How's this beautiful day going for you?

-Get away!-The woman pointed the kitchen knife she was holding towards my direction.

I stared at her for a few seconds and then I confirmed what my eyes saw earlier: This woman was extremely beautiful. It wasn't a confusion or a hallucination, she was genuinely gorgeous. At that moment I was reminded of a song I used to listen to before The Fall, and honestly that song was right: Evil girls do have the prettiest faces. Or in this case, evil women do.

I shook the feeling I got from her looks and started to approach her while making some jokes, trying to calm her down. I didn't want to kill a screaming woman, so I preferred to calm her down first.

-Don't worry… I didn't come here to hurt you… I just came here to help you and your niece…

-Just take her! Leave me alone!

-Hey lady… Has anyone told you how incredibly gorgeous you are? -I said while taking another step forward. She probably doubled my age, so of course she found it weird that a young guy was trying to "hit on her".

The woman also took a step forward when I started to approach her, but instead of walking slowly like I was, she rushed in my direction with the knife in her hand. She must've thought I was some type of creep and that was probably why she got in such an offensive stance. 

Once she got closer and tried to attack me, I took a step to my left and put my feet in front of her, causing her to fall. The knife fell off from her hand and when she tried to reach for it I kicked it away.

-Chill… I said I just came here to help, didn't I? -I kneeled beside her.

I presented my hunting knife in front of her and caressed the blade with my index and middle fingers.

-It's easy ok? I help you to stop being a bitch to the kid and in exchange, I let you decide how you go… -I smirked while I poked her cute nose-So what's it gonna be? Your throat or your stomach? You want my recommendation? Throat is faster…

She looked at me in horror as I talked to her. She squirmed and tried to get up, but as soon as I saw her I stabbed her hand with my knife, causing her to flip on her back while applying pressure on her hand.

-I advise you to tell me quickly… -I threatened while cleaning my blade on her clothes-So, have you decided yet?

The woman coughed as the tears went into her mouth, interrupting her crying. This type of behaviour was the type of behaviour that many abusers had, which for some reason was always interesting to me: They prey on those who are weaker than them but whine when they can't take advantage of the rest of the world. Wait, did what I said make sense?

-Get away!

In a final attempt to escape she slapped me with her healthy hand. I guess the slaps were a familiar thing, because the kid learnt them well from her aunt. The difference between this slap and the ones from the kid was that instead of being annoying, this one actually hurt. In fact, the slap was so hard that it made me fall back, which gave her time to clumsily run away from me.

-Kid! Be careful! -I yelled while getting back on my feet, rubbing my aching face.

I heard loud footsteps and two people crying and screaming outside of the kitchen as I tried to recompose from the slap. I couldn't make out what they were saying since my head was still spinning and they were really agitated. But then, out of nowhere, the voices stopped and then…

THUD…

I heard a loud noise on the floor and only one person crying, which made me come to my senses. Once I heard the falling sound, I rushed outside to find out what happened. When I got to the entrance, my heart skipped a beat the moment I saw the corpse lying on the floor and the blood painting my shoes.

-Kid? -I asked the air as I saw the corpse lying on the floor.
