“This man was a monster, much like you are, mister,” she continued as she began to unleash her hands from their whitening hold.

Her knuckles regained the blood necessary to flow. She let the palms of her hands fall softly over both of his cheeks as she dragged them down his face.

She watched them outline his jaw before tracing down onto his chest.

“But aren’t we all monsters?”

With her hands braced against his chest, she thrust her arms forward, causing the man to stumble backwards and land on his rear in the dirt beneath him.

He struggled to maintain a better position, attempting hastily to stand, but to no avail. He was prone to harm and this was something that functioned the fear that bubbled inside someone.

He began to squirm before attaining an advantage. He took a hand full of dirt and threw it up into the air.

The impact was severe, causing Lenz to lose her vision. It was blurry, clouded, the dust infiltrating her orbs and scratching at her cornea. She cried out, wiping at her eyes with the back of her hands.

The man took this moment as a time for escape, he attained a decent posture, leaning on his knee to bring himself upwards before he turned on his lying leg and sprung forward, launching for the direction of civilization.

The woman was finally able to dislodge all debris from her eyes and just in time to see the man run off. She planted one foot into the surface of the earth before springing to life as well. She sprinted, digging the balls of her feet into the ground for a faster approach.

Soon she was directly behind the man, before she made the rational decision to jump onto him. She lunged forward and managed to tackle his brute size to the ground.

He struggled with her weight a top him, and this was obvious to be expected, therefore she had a contingency plan. She opened her clenched hand so that her palm was facing upwards. Her other hand was used to restrain the right hand of her captive.

With her exposed hand, she formulated her Djed, feeling the essence pulse through the capillaries in her physic. She called to it before conjuring up another liquid spherical object of res. With this new res, she twisted her wrist so that her hand was on top before bringing it back to the original position.

Only this time, the res of which was on top again was conjoined with a large amount of swirling air.

“You see this?” she inquired.

The man did not relinquish his capability to struggle from her latent manacles. She proposed a threat, configuring any alternative given the possibility of a raw outcome.

Her eagerness to create more magic subsided, as she forced the thoughts to the back of her mind. Although, she was sure it would come back to haunt her momentarily.

“Do you see this?” she growled, louder than before.

Finally, she achieved his attention. His eyes snapped to look into hers of which had grown darker with anger and major impatience.

“This spherical orb of transparent attributes is a crafted form from the element of air. As well is it your death if you chose to disobey my orders.”

Her tone was merging on the curb of insane authority. She was still straddling the man, her eyes like adhesive, glued to the thug’s face.

“I did not get to finish my story,” she chortled.

She let herself off of the man before standing only a mere three feet from his prostrate position on the ground.

She continued to hold her weapon in her hand. Her pupils were dilated, but her mouth was open rather wide as she began to speak again.

“My story,” she started, “This man, this monster, he was such as you are. He fed off of other’s displeasure, satisfying himself with the affection of those he saw with deign. He was a creature of evilness so grand even the god of hatred and demise would look down upon him. This man tried to kill me, but alas, he was too weak. I had something up my sleeve, so to speak. It wasn’t this orb of destruction, no, it was something far more tangible. It was a dagger and I used this dagger to slice into the man’s soft flesh. It was like cutting into the skin of an apple and peeling away the outer layers to expose the inward truths.”

She closed her eyes and rocked back of her heels, reveling at the reminiscence of the time of the brute’s death.

“I carved into his body the way a predatory animal would tear into the meat of its prey. It was relieving, alleviating all that bothered me. However, during the time I was also the weak one. I denied ever having murdered that man. The thought of doing such a cruel deed began to haunt me until one day I was forced to accept the task I had accomplished. I had killed someone for the first time and it made me feel wonderful. It was an act of rebellion, but also one of survival.”

Her philosophy, to some, would seem harsh and unjust, but to others it might seem perpetually correct and dignified. To her, she could care less.

What she spoke was the bleeding truth, spilling its fluids into her ears and washing into her eardrums, past them and into her brain where it stuck like plastered, glued to the lobe that conceived emotions and reasoning.

“You see, the humans even the hybrids bred from two racial differences are born into misery. It is our being to become selfish, jealous and angry towards those around us. It is our destiny to cause desolation to those we hate. Therefore, as I have been assigned, you are the one I have come to despise, hence the reason I am standing over you with a threat. I hold the power, and what do you hold?”

She leant over him, opening her eyes and spitting out the words, “You hold nothing but the tears behind your eyelids, the whimpers dying to be released from beneath your quivering lips.”

It was the reality of the world and whether it was feasible to be faced with open minds and ajar hearts was nothing of her problem. She had her own issues to be dealt with.

She was dealing one currently.

“You are a withering coward, a whim of the existence of evil of which has never properly prospered. You seek others with contempt and with this bottled up torment; you expel it upon those you see weaker than yourself. You’re a fool, therefore, you need to die.”

The man tore into an outburst of cries, begging for mercy or any sort of leniency. He even spoke of a gods’ name, that of which the necklace he wore portrayed. He worshipped someone whom couldn’t save him.

Lenz chuckled sinisterly.

“I’m not done with my story,” she scowled. “You will be silent or else my friend here will slip into your crevasse of a mouth and burst open your larynx, ejecting your very presence here.”

It seemed like an overenthusiastic threat, but one she could attempt nonetheless.

“Now, will you allow me to go on?”

The man nodded vehemently.

Ashes to Ashes

“I lost someone I loved to someone like you. That monster who attacked me, who tried to harm me or kill me or whatever his mind was commanding him to do, another one of those cornered myself and a child.”

She braced herself for another oncoming tale. She wove it with her tongue, allowing her head to fall back. Her neck muscles relaxed, snapping into a hesitant, yet dormant state.

She swallowed before regaining her fantastical yet morbid disposition.

“The two of us were walking home from the park. It was growing dark and unfortunately, the time seemed to slip from my mind. I had lost track of the sun, for it had already disappeared behind the horizons, replaced by the moon and its craters. I rushed, hurried past alleyways and crumbling establishments. The child held my hand and I gripped it with a motherly, protective fashion. Being in such a treacherous city in such a dangerous time of night isn’t the most appealing to people like I. I was frightened and therefore instinct demanded I flee to safety.”

Lenz rummaged around inside her head for more details, more depictions to assist her in her storytelling. She was getting better, her ability to explain situations and events were progressing to a level of new entirety.

She continued with a louder, more hostile voice. Her eyes grew even darker as she scanned her victim of which persisted to lie on the ground.

“Suddenly a man appeared from out of the shadows. His breath smelt of foul alcohol. My deducting abilities mentioned to me of his reoccurring drinking. He cornered us against the back of a building, his arms stroking my arm. Of course, being the heroic individual I claim to be, I resisted his lustful affection. I hit him, preventing myself from becoming a character in his sensual fantasy. He retaliated with a blow to my stomach, causing me to double backwards and fall to the soggy ground. This was when he lost all interest in me, a woman of mature age. He turned to the child I was escorting through the city. A child!”

She erupted into a panic state of deprivation.

She craved justice, she craved vengeance and her patience was dwindling to nothing. The thread it was suspended from was being cut; however, it continued to hold, waiting for the proper time to strike.

“She was a child,” she snarled, “and he tried to take sexual advantage of her.”

She shook her head from side to side, irritated, vexed and upset on any different levels.

She wasn’t inept to handle this mission, but during this episode of retribution, her employer would have simply shook his head as well and demanded her relief of duty.

She was losing it. She was losing it more quickly than even she had anticipated.

“He was about to harm her, touch her in inappropriate ways before I managed to regain my balance. The wind fled into my lungs once more, and I will tell you, there was no prohibition against my lunging towards him with a fist. In doing so, however-“ she gulped abruptly, the cold air around her stinging her cheeks and blinding her with its forceful punches to the eyes. Tears started to stream down her face by this time, marring her cheeks with the flaws it summoned. She wiped them away with the back of her sleeve frantically.

Show no weakness, she thought to herself, cringing. Do not display your limitations.

“In doing so, he raised his hand to attempt to maintain his balance. The back of his hand his the child in the nose, sending her flailing into the wall behind her. The wall was without loyalty, for it crushed the back of the child’s head in. She fell like a heap of detritus, without any movement, giving me rightful postulation as to her state of livelihood.”

She crouched down and sent the back of her hand to the man’s face. It connected rather harshly, the sound of the blow reverberating in her ears. Her limb burned, but not as much as the man’s cheek.

“She was dead!”

This was a moment of theory. She was given an idea, albeit a distressing one.

“I think you deserve to feel her pain.”

She leant forward further and dissected her sufferer’s expression. He was wincing due to the pain of his cheek.

She could envision the pain creeping up his face, defacing his nose and blemishing his chin. A rose shade of blood blossomed on his flesh and continued to flush up to under his eyelid.

Lenz smirked balefully before beginning to crawl beside his body. She lay down beside him, only her figure was positioned on the side, her stomach touching the side of his arm by barely a millimeter.

“You deserve to feel her pain, my pain,” she breathed before inclining forward.

She held her breath and her mouth found the cartilage of his ear. She stuck out her tongue and began to lace it into his ear canal, trailing over his tragus before thrusting inward to a severe extent.

Her seduction technique was forfeited when her antagonism heightened extensively. She resorted to her teeth as she bit down on the helix portion of his ear. Blood began to seep into her open mouth as wails filled the frigid air.

She did not let up.

She watched him squirm and writhe before she was satisfied. To terminate her torturing tactic, she bit down harder, her front teeth burring further into his flesh before she tore the cartilage part off of his ear entirely.

He hollered like a wolf being slain by hunters.

She could see the creature’s entrails spilling out from the wound in its side as the hunters began to skin the predatory animal. She sneered viciously before standing up, the human flesh still lodged in between her top front and top bottom teeth.

The man began to clutch his ear, rolling from side to side as Lenz spit out the souvenir.

She licked her lips, tasting the metallic taste in her arid mouth. She condemned herself to swallow before clearing her throat of the thick substance.

“Do you bear the same pain as I or the child?” she asked rhetorically.

The man screamed out some form of inaudible agreement, however, Lenz neglected to permit listening to his calls. They were causing her to feel squeamish or perhaps it was just the blood she had digested.

“I cannot envisage you do, sir,” she muttered. “In fact, I feel the need to surpass my expectations and provide with you another palate of what it truly is like to have something stolen from you.”

The man whimpered softly again.

“Whether it be a life, or a child, you do not feel the destitution. In fact, I feel that you are stuffed daftly with passionate pleasure and…”

She stopped suddenly, another menacing idea popping into her mind like a rose surfacing from the soil of which it was borne from.

“My story is finished; however, my need for satisfaction is not.”

She bent downwards again and prepared herself for another session of pain and strain.

Ashes to Ashes

She wasn’t a brave girl. In fact, all her life she had cowered, having been ruled by a tyrant named Fear. It thrashed and squirmed, using its sharp tail to dig into her flesh, pierce into her blood stream until it swam up her body. She could see its head peering out from inside her body.

As she screamed, it laughed, continuing its journey until it reached her head. There is laid its eggs and waited for them to hatch. All the while, the torment was severely damaging her psyche. It was forcing her to do all that she wished not to do.

She strayed from activities that seemed too dangerous and she hid from challenging situations of which she knew would not have a great outcome.

The dread riled inside her bones and threatened to crack the marrow into splinters of terror.

Her life was never about control or structure, it was about survival and intelligence. She was pressured to live on her own and achieve a life of decency.

The creatures that continued to crawl under her skin continued to issue anxiety and duress. She felt inclined to speak little if any words until the day she was freed.

The day of the child’s death was that day and today, the day she was bending over a quim of ignorance, she was feeling this freedom again. It blew out of the pores in her skin and foamed overhead in a weary fog.

She inhaled the scent and braced herself for yet another blow of euphoria. It was revitalizing and stimulated another key of morbidity held in sanctuary in the bedlam within her obscene mind. She coughed.

“My story is finished,” she whispered again, leaning down to pet the man’s hair.

She brought the palm of her hand up to her open mouth and thrust her tongue to lick her flesh.

Once it was sopping wet with her saliva, she brought it back down to the man’s forehead and proceeded to brush back his greasy, sweaty hair.

“I will fish another tale for you I assume,” she continued. “It will buy me some more time…”

She didn’t waste another second thinking over the sophistication of how she would conclude this man’s spirit. She had her mind locked onto a particular tactic, but for now, she would have some fun.

She would play with this man and see how many strings she could clip before he flailed around with only a few threads to support him from the world of unconsciousness.

Her eyes were glistening but not from tears. She was on a spree, ignited by the high she was receiving from watching this man quiver with dread and anticipation.

She knew he wanted this scenario to be done and over with; however, she was not ready for the concert to end quite yet.

I want to hear more music, she thought giddily.

Those eyes, with pupils dilated extensively and whose pupils were stunningly darker than normal had finally found a source of pleasure. They latched their seeing ability on a stick to her right of which she obligingly bent down to retrieve.

Upon standing straight up again, she looked at the end. To her satisfaction the end of the stick was relatively sharp and pointed. It was fortunate of her to have found such a useful utensil.

“Open your mouth,” she demanded hoarsely, taking the end of the stick in one hand and beating the side into her other.

The man denied her request with an immediate shake of his head and a moan of defiance. He rejected her proposition to cause more pain and where it was highly obvious as to why he did so, Lenz was bewildered.

“Why aren’t you listening to me?” she cried, her voice raising with every word that dribbled off her tongue and onto her chin. “Listen to me!”

She buckled forward and knelt down so that she was crouching directly beside her prey all the while saying, “I will not ask you again,” in a growl.

“Open your petching mouth!”

The man tentatively dislodged his jaw, revealing a maw of trepidation. Her window was splayed wide open and she jumped through, using her fingernails to reach into his mouth and pull out his tongue.

With it vulnerable to the world, she took the stick she was holding and struck it through his tongue. The sound of ripping pervaded the air, swirling in a turmoil of inharmonious noise.

It was an incredulous amount of delight to the malicious woman’s ears.

He squealed and croaked until the essential fluid for survival drained into his throat and presented him from screaming any longer. The red tainted liquid spurted out the corners of his mouth and flowed into the grass beneath him.

“Do I still have your attention?” Lenz asked rhetorically.

She was now officially growing bored. It was all the same, the similarities were uncannily familiar and disturbing. He would cry in pain as she hurt him and she would have to resort to redundancy to achieve the same feeling of empowerment and control.

It was all predictable and Lenz was not of obvious predictability. She longed for spontaneous arousals and lately, she hadn’t been feeling fulfilled.

She was no longer mollified. Her demeanour was preventatively shifting from one temper to the other, causing frustration to bubble up inside her heart.

She needed contentment to fill her soul once more and in order to complete this desire she would need to accomplish her mission quickly.

She feigned a yawn whilst saying, “I find myself bored.”

The man grumbled some sort of inaudible retaliation to her comment. Lenz ignored it, neglecting to continue watching his hasty and frantic motions.

He was dull and her interest in him was dimming like a dying light bulb.

“Hence the reason I am quickly enhancing my revolted disposition to your superfluous presence. I think-“ she added silence to create more suspense- “I will dispose of you now.”

The rapist was still abasing himself on the ground, covering his face with the back of his hands. He was rolling from side to side, dirtying his shirt and marring his ribcage. This only caused Lenz to become more dampened by the sight.

“Pathetic thing you are,” she muttered before lifting her arm higher in the air.

She flipped her hand over so that her palm was facing towards the darkened sky, sighing incantations that often aided her in producing more res.

Due to the chants, they stimulated a multitude of effectual concentration and focus was a necessity for her work to progress.

The energy in her body rankled from underneath her flesh. It pulsed with the rhythm of her heart and flowed quicker with each and every expanding pump and fade as the channels and chambers in the inner soft tissue fluctuated.

She closed her eyes for a moment as words left her lips and offered itself to the world around it.

“A scorched heart is a powerful heart
Present yourself as my supremacy
Although I control you and you not me
You will be the ultimate efficacy.”

It was a brilliancy of poetic wonder, spilling off of her tongue before wafting around her and coiling through her spinal cord. It connected to her brain before it finally registered, clicking into place as the gears shifted into more understandable and comprehendible images.

She forced the res to appear in her hand, hovering as it did when waiting to be commanded and given orders.

She felt the rage boiling inside her. She only needed to look at the man before her and see the monster he was under the masked façade he displayed before fire concocted into its disastrous elemental form above her palm.

“Burn in my hand,” she breathed, witnessing the sweltering substance floating amidst her aching body.

She turned her head, peering over the orb of light to glare at the man. He was no longer shrouding his face with his hands. Instead he was looking at Lenz with wide eyes.

“This here is something far more powerful than that daft sphere of air. This can burn through your flesh and scar your insides if I allow it to. However, I will cause you far more pain than something as simple as that.”

Suddenly a sharp pain was hitting the back of her head. A headache was forming quickly, quicker than she had initially anticipated.

She was still a novice in controlling the element of fire and to remain statured as the master, she needed to hurry up.

“Stand up,” she commanded in a fierce growl.

The man obliged.

Lenz straightened her body so that she was rigid and stiff before bringing her air back and then thrusting it forward. The ball of fire leapt off her hand and flew through the air, landing in a mass of flames on the body of the stranger she had been sent to annihilate.

It was ingenious, the visual representation of torture. He was on the ground, attempting to stand up and pat himself of the fire.

The first flame had licked his shirt and had begun to spread up his neck and down his abdomen. He shrieked and cried for mercy from all those whom would listen.

Lenz stood by as a passive defender, observing the scenario with her mind blazing much like the man of combustion only a few yards before her.

The most frightening thing that happened to her was that her upper lip began to crawl upwards. She began to smile. It was a terrifying smile, a smirk or grin contending with the idea of a grimace or a cringe.

“Beautiful,” she whispered darkly as she listened to the melody of the man’s vocal cords contorting and constricting with every octave he bellowed out.

She sat back and continued to watch as she sprung from the ground and began to race around the forest.

Finally, once she became satisfied that he would not survive the outcome, she began to walk away after turning on her heel.

Once the man was out of her line of sight, she pivoted on her foot and began to correct her distinctive destination. The city was where she would arrive to next.

She left the man hanging on the thinnest limb of life and she did so with a sinister, insidious, odious and detestable expression plastered onto her face.

“Oh, what a night this has been.”
