Chapter 6: Little Red Riding Hood
It's been two days, and life carried on as usual for Richard. Going to school, attending lessons, and chatting with Leon and Victoria. Life went as per normal, and they all lived happily ever after..well, not really.
Richard was heading back home after a long day, bracing himself for his parent's usual preaching. While on the streets, he started to realise things were eerily quiet when it was usually quite busy. Richard didn't pay it any mind as he just chalked it up to being one of those days where everything was just quiet.
When he reaches his home, he is greeting by a sickeningly sweet voice..
"Welcome home sweetie be a dear and come to your mother's room, won't you?" his mother, who usually spewed poison for words, was being awfully nice... This set out a few alarms in Richard's head, but he ignored it and went to her room where he could see her laying in the bed.
"Give me your hand, dear..what huge hands you have.. " She said while grasping Richard's hands, which he reluctantly gave to her.
Richard was starting to feel that something was off, so he took away his arms..
"You are acting weird, mother." said Richard, who usually never voices his true thoughts outloud contradictory to his usual self. Well, who was to blame him? His mother, who treated him like shit was all of sudden being nice to him. It really reminded him of the fairy tale Little red ridding hood where she was the wolf while he was a little red riding hood
While an internal turmoil was happening in his head.Richard's mother was starting to salivate, and her body contorted in all kinds of direction.
A primal roar escaped from her mouth.
"RURRAGH!!!"
She leapt out with a ferocity never seen before frkm her onto Richard, who just barely dodged her attack.
"Mother?! Did I do something wrong?" Richard asked bewildered by her sudden attack. He started to notice her changes. For starters, her eyes were pure white, and her skin was way too pale. There was also a huge bite mark in her neck area.
"What the hell? She isn't sane..is it temporary insanity? Drugs? Alcohol? Just what the fuck happened to her?!"Richard thought to himself as he evaded her ferocious attacks.
Richard then notices something...his mother who exactly isn't on the right side of a weighing scale, is moving with strength and stamina that should be impossible for her.. Her muscles must have snapped by now..
"This is bad.. I am being pushed into a corner. My instincts are screaming at me to evade her at all costs.. screw it! I will defend myself!!" Richard says outloud as he grabs a nearby knife and stabs it in her arm multiple times while avoiding her attempts to bite him.. but the knife stabbing her did not do much to stop her pursuit.
To Richard's horror, she forcefully dragged up her arm, creating a gaping hole in her arm as it is literally ripped into two.
"No.. No..what the hell is she?! She isn't even human anymore!" Richard couldn't help but feel scared and nauseated by that sight.
"Whatever charges I will face screw it! I ain't dying here of all places!!" Richard had zero concern that his next action would be considered a crime that would destroy his life. All he wanted to do was get this..thing to stop moving.
In a wild dash lacking any real technique, Richard took the knife shakily and ran at her and plunged the knife from earlier into his mother's heart. She stopped moving the moment the knife entered her heart.
Richard stabs her once more just in case. Her body moved due to the sheer force that Richard was stabbing her with.
A few moments later, Richard finally realised his actions, and he pukes at the sight of the body, unable to stand the gore.
"I..what the hell have I done?" the weight of his actions had finally sunk into Richard's head.
Aurhor's note:With that the main plot has begun my readers. The mc is a civilian at the start of the story, so don't expect a Chinese novel protag level of edginess from him. The mc will become strong mentally and physically time over time. I will do my best to make it worthwhile. Just think of it as a muscle. To be strong, it needs time to develop. the same is with Richard. Thanks for your time, and feel free to ask any queries. I will do my best to clear them.
