THE MIDNIGHT BOY

Hi, my name is Jerome Linux. I’m 13 and people mostly called me the midnight boy or J.

It was the night before halloween when i runaway from my house. My parents never understood me which always made me angry. That night I had a huge fight with my parents as the teacher reported to my parents that I stabbed my senior with an emergency axe. I know it’s wrong but that guy had been bullying me since kinder garden. This is why i have this huge scar at my left cheek and bruises and scares around my back. None of the teacher really did care because he was the spoiled principle’s child. His name was Dave Misco. I tried telling my parents but they think I was just blabbering around them.

When my parents scolded me that night, I know they won’t believe so I took a knife and ran out of the house. I’m not a rich kid. I was living in a small wooden house near the forest. I got a little sister name Max Linux, she always gave me joy. She is 2 years younger than me. She was my only friend…….

I went deeper and deeper in the forest. I got lost. I was so scared…. I cried a lot behind a huge tree. I could hear the wolf howling which creeped me out more. I tried to keep myself strong and try to find out the way back to home. As I was on a search for my house, I found this 6 people with all black robes. I hid behind the tree and took a look at them. They were whispering things which i couldn’t understand. They were surrounding a huge stone which kinda look like a table. I got scared and try to leave the weirdness of this forest..

As i took a step, i made a loud sound. The people in black robes started to look around. The one with the half skull silver mask asked them to search around. The silver mask looked around and came closer to me. I was hiding in a bush and try not to breath loudly. He open the bush and I found out he got no eyes. There was a blood all over his eyes and the mask looked very old. I opened my eyes and he immediately shut my mouth. He looked at me carefully and pulled my hair. He and his other mask group tied me around a rock. I was really terrified and started to shout. They took a cloth full of blood and tied it around my mouth. I felt like vomiting by the taste of a freshly blood swimming around my mouth. I cried and regretted the anger I showed to my parents. Hoping they would come to

save me…..

I closed my eyes and they started speaking the weird language. I..I still remember the pain in my neck and heart. They slit my throat and took out my heart. I just don’t understand why I was still alive while my heart was taken. I could feel the cut, my blood flowing down my body. It felt like I was in an undying torture. I slowly closed my eyes and I felt so powerful and energetic. I stretched out and broke the rope they used to tie me. I couldn’t feel anything….. nothing… not even my lost heart. I could only feel anger. I took the knife which I kept in my pocket and killed every single one of them. I laughed so hard and I felt like it wasn’t me. It… It felt so fun. I took out all their heart’s out and ate it. I was so hungry. I couldn’t help it….

I didn’t remember what was happening but all I know was that when I opened my eyes I felt stronger and was starving. I took the axe and chopped every single part of their body. It was so addictive and fun. The heart i ate was the most delicious food I have ever eaten. I was starved for more so I went to search for my heart. I couldn’t find it….. I wanted my heart back but all I needed now was food. I went back home and took the axe with me. It was a full moon (my favourite). I went inside the house searching for hearts. I went to my parent’s room and chopped their heart out of them. I couldn’t help myself. It was like starvation took over my body. I went upstairs to my room. Hoping that I don’t wake up Max. I looked in the mirror and found looking myself different.

My eyes were all black and bloody. My teeth became all sharp, my skin was as pale as snow. The stitches stitched to my scar opened up and my scar started bleeding again. I took off my shirt and there were stitches around my chest. My neck was still bleeding as my blood became black. I thought I became a monster. I wore the eye mask to hide my bleeding eyes. I didn’t want Max to see me like this…. she will think I’m a monster. I didn’t want to be her biggest fear….. So I made her follow the footsteps of my mommy and daddy. I hope she’s happy up there…. That’s the only thing i could do for her.

I burnt the house making it seem like this was a tragic incident. I climbed up the tree and watched the house burn slowly. It was really entertaining…. The next day, I saw the police around my house. I hid inside the bushes and watched them. They were investigating but it seemed like they found no clues. I went to the street and saw the news. “The Linux family was burnt to death due to a tragic incident” I found my picture in the newspaper. Everyone thinks I died. I went to my funeral and watched people crying their heart out. I couldn’t feel any emotions. It felt I was a robot since my heart was missing.

It was a halloween night, where I couldn’t help myself. I went around the houses and people didn’t suspect me because they think it was my costume. I got a lot of compliments about my outfit but they didn’t know it was actually how I looked. My hand started to itch…. I felt restless. I wanted to strangle someone. My stomach gurgled telling me that it needed food. I couldn’t help myself as I had saw delicious food in every step I took. I took my axe and started to chop everyone and everything in my way. I couldn’t stop…. It came naturally. I took their hearts out and ate as much as I could. I even ate Sara Misco’s heart, Max’s best friend and Dave’s younger sister. It was the best from all.

I still couldn’t forget my anger on Dave. I remembered my mom told my dad that Dave is at the emergency hospital. This information really tempted me to pay a visit. I greeted him with his death. I felt great! I couldn’t stop laughing at the look on his face when he saw me.

I read the newspaper the next day. “The midnight boy attacked the halloween night!” I’m in love with my new name “The Midnight Boy” I lived in the forest near to my house. I got my dream house….. A small tent in the woods was the only thing I wanted. I crept inside an open window to get my food. I love eating kids….. They are my favourite kind. Their hearts are so pure and innocent. They are easier too. Sometimes they see me creeping out of their bed. I love the joy they give me when they see my face…. The screams are the best sounds I could ever heard.
