Tyrant Eliza Chapter 1 (Revised 2013)


1- The Night

She was too real; a fantasy she was not. Her feminine, smooth, silk-like skin of fragility seemingly pierced through the darkness which made up the entire confined bedroom. Compromising was not an option. Although her service was a paid one, she insisted on using her own unorthodox, slightly uncomfortable method; but it didn’t bother me much, as I waved her black glossy hair with my long, pointy, malnourished fingers; it was titillating, which enthralled my senses. I was a satisfied man. My left hand steadily slid down her very naked, yet very uniformly polished back, which excited her till no end, as she pleaded for more. Oh damn, was I cheated? How dare her—bastard! I deliberately used my untrimmed fingernails and scratched her back vertically upwards, leaving a light yet visible scar on it. I could sense that she wasn’t too pleased.

“I paid for it!” I allowed her hair to waterfall through the gaps between my fingers and forcefully clenched it into a cold hard fist; she wailed a rather sorrowful cry of pain, and I loved it. She deserved it. Gosh. She soon recovered from it and fixated her cyan pupils onto my own, and at that very moment, her heart seemed to be filled with innocence, I could sense it. I sense everything; I also sense nothing. She redirected my sight to her delightfully tiny pinkish lips.

“Kiss me.” She commanded; my heart stopped for a second, just one. I was again satisfied, so I did as told; our crimson lips slowly brought together by the mysterious force of instinct, as I indulged myself in the heavenly feeling of such an intimate action, my soul drowned in an undeniable state of guilty pleasure, and it was a lovely feeling. I loved it. I did not feel conned, as she finally surrendered herself to me. She was mine. I stared at her tranquil pupils one more time, but things went awfully haywire; chaos; madness.

Get the hell away from me!” I hastily grabbed a long black hairpin. It was hers; she left it on top of a drawer beside our king-sized bed. Oh I was a lucky man; the hairpin contained a very sharp and very dangerous edge, very interesting. I vehemently punched her right temple, causing it to swell so much it turned into a red bomb which is about to detonate any second. It punctured. She let out a pitch higher than scratching a glassy surface, which lacerated right into my feeble eardrums; I could not take it anymore—she was irritating me so much I wished I’d die, so I pressed both palms onto her head rigidly and summersaulted her off the bed and onto the icy marbled floor. I then got off the opposite side of the bed and glanced at both of my hands. I was shocked. I was paralyzed. I refused to believe myself.

My hands!

They were severely deformed; twenty or so fingers protruding from various locations, with their fleshes and bones exposed; probably leaving the mightiest of all—air itself horrified at its sight; incomparable to horror movies, as it was pure reality. Such ugliness is intolerable, yet I felt no pain. Oh, and my left thumb was missing; was it chopped off? Did she bite it off? I wasn’t sure. But what the hell, a thumb is a useless piece of shit. Shit I say, S H I T.

It was inside that useless piece of shit—the woman. I saw it—my thumb sticking through her right eye socket, which somehow didn’t contain an eyeball. Shit. Shit. Shit. She firmed her right hand onto the bed and slowly lifted herself upwards. Something was amiss. She stared at me; her eyes watery—no, they weren’t. She didn’t have eyes other than two of my thumbs. Oh there goes my right thumb. Her mouth leaking out fresh red blood, and her nose wrinkled to the point where it seemed somewhat decomposed. She was pitiful. She was begging me to stop assaulting her with blunt weapons, although I couldn’t hear her well. I confess; her charisma started to infect my soul.

“I-I’m sorry, but I didn’t mean to-“

EEARGH!

She leaped onto me and pushed me to the ground; she followed. All her limbs were pressing down on my own limbs, symmetrically, just that I’m a handsome man and she’s an ugly witch. My right arm was a free arm, as she was missing hers, in place of it was a waterfall of blood. Blood. She was no longer a woman, but a monster with a mouth full of white fangs, seemingly cracked, yet there were like thirty of them; her seemingly bleached hair was too long, it barely came into contact with the ground; her cheeks weren’t cheeks, they were holes, as if they were drilled into. She was beautiful, I think. I’m crazy. She lashed out her serpent-esque tongue right into my shrieking mouth, which effortlessly went through the back of my throat. I lost my ability to breathe properly. I didn’t want to die. I focused. I could not die, simply because I could never die.

As I tried to regain my sanity (which failed), I sensed it—a pen touching the tip of my right middle finger, so I tried to grab it, but her disgusting tongue. It is annoying. I didn’t feel pain, just annoyed; it restricted my movements. One wrong move and my throat will be sliced in half. Why? Simple; her tongue was essentially a retractable sword. Ah how amazing it felt to have adrenaline gushing through my veins; I stretched my right arm to its limit, to the point that I might’ve torn a few strands of muscles. Why? Because I could. My extremely bare back was sweaty, as I was exhausted. I repeat; I wasn’t in pain; pain was nonexistent. But I saw it. A walking arm; her right arm in fact; it was severed with its bone protruding out of its green slimy wound. Green.

Its razor-sharp nails casually cleaved my right palm into three pieces; the pain was nigh unbearable. I cried, but not because I felt pain; I feel no pain; I just loathe ugliness, and my hand was somehow uglified, if there’s such a term. I had enough; with the newfound strength of a colossus, I delivered a sudden knee to her skinless abdomen. I was fortunate, and always am. She loosened her grip. I ripped her hand of my palm and stabbed the wild, untamable fingers right through her left eye (it was my thumb, but who cares), which probably dealt enough pain to her. She hastily retracted her tongue and flinched backwards, before lying flat on the marbled floor, star-formation. She panted too heavily, like a wild DOG that ran three thousand miles. I did not retaliate, and instead chose to sit back and lick my wounds—I mean ugliness. Whatever.

“Shadow!” I didn’t remember leaving my bedroom door unlocked. Yes, it was an insanely breakable wooden door, but my mother of all people should know better. I stared bewilderedly as she barged into my personal space and witnessed one hell of a mess. She saw me, naked, very naked. Well, I might be twenty, but my family is against premarital sex. I was in a total loss of words.

“Are you changing clothes?” Awkward.

“Uhh, well, yeah.” I tried to shoo her away, but she just stood there like a scarecrow waiting for the day when pigs fly, or when crows stop shitting.

“Son, you are so naked. Please wear some clothes, even though you’re in your room; unless you’re my husband who died twenty years ago, who had the best naked body in the world. If you really love being naked, at least lock your shitty door.”

BUT I LOCKED IT. ASSHOLE MOTHER.

Oh. I think I saw her—E(1ZA Marinette, the prostitute that I hired earlier, which somehow turned into a stupid witch. Her legs went over my mother’s naked shoulders (she was wearing a singlet), somewhat similar to a piggyback ride; her edgy nails seemingly piercing through the neck she was gripping onto.

Is this a dream?

She left—they left. I quickly put on a rather formal set of clothes; a blue buttoned shirt, black jeans and some old socks. I was anew. I checked my watch.

“Nope, ain’t a shitty dream.” My watch displayed the time accurately, unlike in stereotypical dreams where they would be distorted or so; maybe something like “932As:D” instead of “E(1ZA”. I remained calm. The explanation is simple—I had hallucinations; if it isn’t clear enough to you readers, I suffer from schizophrenia, a condition that somehow blends reality and fantasy together. But what about the bleeding wound on my neck? The witch wasn’t real, or was she?

“Shadow Vegas, we have a visitor!” I hurried down to the rather dimly-lit living room where I saw our guest, our rather familiar looking female guest. I vomited.

“Hi, my name is E(1ZA Marinette. Nice to meet you Shadow.” She smiled; I live an awesome life.

Damn.
