Part Two

It was another week before we got a job. It seemed simple enough to me. All we had to do was keep some businessman alive. He’s rising in power and will be very valuable to Rosenkreuz. That’s what I was told. For the first week of this job, I followed Crawford to every little meeting that was held. He wanted me to learn. Schuldich assured me that I’d be bored but it wasn’t that bad.

It was interesting in its own way.

After the first meeting, I followed Crawford into his office and reported what had gone on. He gave me his approval and I left. I’ve watched him handle our client and carry himself though the meetings...and I hold nothing but respect for him. He can manipulate them all so easily without being privy to their minds like Schuldich.

I stare at my black computer screen and decide not to play around with it tonight. I look to my right, through the glass of my window and watch the snow slowly fall. I stand and rest my forehead against the glass. Crawford said there will be an attack on our client’s life tomorrow night. I wonder if I will do this right too. I want to. Whenever I do something good, Crawford’s lips twitch up ever so slightly to reveal a smirk or approval. I find myself yearning to see it every day, all the time.

I lean against the wooden doors that lead to our client’s office. I put my hands in my pockets and watch the long stretch of hallway before me. I have a Telekinetic barrier around me so not even a sneak attack will work on me. When Crawford told the man that I alone was going to protect the door, he protested immediately. Even I knew he would. I’m only fourteen. But he doesn’t know the impact of my Talent.

Suddenly, bullets start firing at me. I roll my eyes. Nothing can break my barrier. I make another layer before me and push the first towards the men. Two get instantly crushed between the invisible wall and the visible one. They’re crushed into nothing but blood and gore. I smile a little at the display. Two more appear from around the corner and I grab their necks with my Telekinesis and crush them, keeping the skin intact. I let them fall and see four men come at me.

“Idiots.” I lift my right hand and stop them all dead in their tracks.

I turn my hand, palm up, and curl my fingers towards me. It brings them closer. I slowly rip them apart. One by limbs: arms, legs, head. Second by joints: feet, calves, thighs, and so on. Third by even smaller increments and fourth even smaller. None of the blood splatter gets on me.

//Time to go, kid.//

[[Stop calling me that.]]

//When you get to be older than me, I’ll stop.// I can hear the wide, amused smirk in his mental voice.

Stupid, German bastard. If I ever get the chance, I’ll kill him.

The second we get back, Farfarello heads to the bathroom with Schuldich on his heels. I found out shortly after my arrival that they’re a couple. At first, I couldn’t understand it. What could they possible see in each other? And then...watching one of the “hunts”, I learned. They both seem to be the same kind of perverse sadist. We are all sadists of some kind. Crawford is sadistic through his scheming manipulation. He likes to see weaklings being crushed under his feet like ants. As for myself...mine is simple. I like to hurt and cause pain. I’ve been hurt in too many ways in the past. At least I’m kinder than those who wronged me before. They left me alive to suffer. I kill when I’m done hurting. It’s only fair.

I wander into my room and fall to my bed. It was a little exhausting to use my Talent so much. I guess I’ll get used to it.

I think I like Schwarz.
