"Life? What is it all about? Power? Gold? Lands to your name? Slaves? What do humans want?" I said as I looked at the cold body on the floor.
My body began to calm down and so did the way I talk too.
"You are monster?" ..... "Hmphhh" I laughed, the real monsters are men, the real monsters are always the ones who accuse the others, the real monsters are you all.
I looked at his mate.
His eyes told it all, the fear and despair, it was all written right there.
"I guess this is my end, look I won't waste your time, I will only ask one time, what Exactly do you want?" he asked hiding the fear in his voice….
I was shocked because, I mean his friend just died in front of him, why is he not afraid and trying to kill me? Fine I understood the fear but after that I expected an outburst but why is he not threatening me or telling me he would get me for everything in which I have done? He was doing none of that.
"Look, truth be told I don't know what I want yet, I was doing something before but now it seems anybody in this hill or more or less everybody in my path down this hill is not going to see tomorrow, I have come for vengeance and I will not stop, not now, not until I kill my enemies and make man pay." I said back to him. With a smile just to see his response.
"But then after that what would you do." He asked me with no shred of horror in his face.
it was strange but I didn't care anyway, but then I thought what should I do now, do I leave here? do I Become the horrors in the woods? I thought and thought, until I felt something.
"Bang! "This bastard pulled the trigger, but he knew.
I dodged the bullet with ease and walked slowly towards him, Dodging each shot From the gun, it's also funny because he never gave up, he saw me dodge one bullet after the other but he kept on shooting till he was out of ammo.
"are you done?" I asked with a sarcastic look on my face.
"…" He looked at me and let out a smile. He knew he was going to die.
I dashed to him and heavily punched his face in, I heard the sound of something break. But I wasn't sure what, all I knew was.
My heart raced in excitement but not all of me wanted this yet I say that with a smile on my cheek.
"So like your other. Any last words?" I asked him.
"I….I don't deserve this. What did I promise I wont te…."
"CRACK!" pretender, I thought he would accept is death but with that look in his eyes, he wasn't ready by any means to go down willingly.
He fell t the ground. Lifeless and his eyes filled with shock.
I stood there for a second just stared, the rush began to die and my body felt calm again yet only sympathy filled my heart, not dread.
I looked at my right hand. That was where I felt most unstable, that was where the sensation began, the rush, it all began from my right hand just…
After getting what I wanted I headed downhill oh whatever this is and I saw a large metal carriage on wheels heading towards me as I crossed the road. The thing drove too fast. So i stop right at the middle of the road watching the truck heading towards me.
This looks unfamiliar to me too. Because I have never seen such thing moving this fast and also made of metal. With no horses. I was still in fascination of how this machine was moving by itself, no horses I know nothing, it was different for me but the same time it was not slowing down.
I stretched my hand forward to try and stop it and then there was impact, the carriage slammed even though my hand was plunged into the front of the truck and my feet digging the asphalt, it still pushed me a little further than anything has ever, except another one of my kind, it hurt like hell but it was new, in fact I was more curious than in pain, my skin is not so easily dented after all plus I can heal way quicker than normal.
" Oh shit..... Jesus!," I heard from inside the carriage.
The truck tires stopped, Scratching the asphalt as smoke filled the air, The man driving came down from the vehicle and asked the question.
" Are you alright?".
looking at his face, he was worried but at the same time freaked out, I mean somebody just squeezed the front of your metal carriage and he's looking totally fine.
"Can you hear me?" He asked again because I said nothing. I was trying to think of a reasonable explanation to give him but then the sensation began again, it felt like I didn't care, like I shouldn't answer his questions and just once again kill but I was waiting for a trigger but then he asked a question.
"Are you from around here? are you lost? do you need to go anywhere?" He asked all at the same time.
At this moment I figured it was the right time to ask where exactly am I, what year is this and most especially what's kind of Self driving carriage is this, so I did.
"Yeah, umm, where exactly am I? what's year is this? and what kind of carriage is this how does it drive by itself?" I asked.
"Oh, uh, this is Manchester, I mean the whole place, sorry the city but this is the forest in Manchester, so you are welcome lad and plus this is the year 2023." He said looking at me.
He was nice, he wasn't as insulting as the first two I saw but...
It was 2023?
"2023?" I asked as my eyes opened in surprise.
"Ouff, that's going to leave a dent in my paycheck." He said as he worriedly looked at the damage I had done to the truck.
"I am sorry for that." I said as I walked to where he stood.
"Sorry? Oh no, I should be the one saying that to you, I am just glad you didn't suffer any serious physical injury." He replied as he walked closer with his eyes focused on my hand.
There was a dislocation but he didn't know that because I fixed it before he stepped out.
Out of the guilt of his heart he decided to take me to the city since he was headed there and I agrred with him.
"Yeah…... is everything okay?" He asked as he looked at me seasonally while paying attention to the road. Not all my questions have been answered, I still needed to know why that metal carriage was moving by itself, no horses no nothing and I'm very sure they are not at the back in fact I smell no animals near the metal carriage.
"Okay so whats with the metal carriage?" I said pointing at it.
He looked at it and then said.
"Oh, that, wait, huh, metal… oh!" He said and started to laugh after.
"This is a truck." He said laughing and then said.
" I'm sorry for laughing, I just got caught off guard by the way you described it."
He was nice indeed, he even apologized for laughing, he was a good man. I guess, I don't know him myself but I really did not feel like killing him, he reminded me of the old time, my time, didn't seem hard to talk to him unlike the first ones before him which I tried to reason with.
"Oh all right, thank you Sir."
I said waiting for him to drive away. A smile on my face as I waved. He apologized for the trouble, He suggested I visit the hospital and told me where to go from there, everywhere seemed alright. it all seemed like England but with no horses and dangerous weapons, back in my days weapons were not accessible by everyone in fact it was very hard to access a weapon but now I guess it's easy.
