Chapter 3 3

O.P. Kaysen took a left turn as his eyes were fixed on his schedule for the day. He needed to find a way to attend his father's party, or he would be dead by the dawn of the next day.

He heard the thud of a person's footsteps which made him confused and when he turned around he saw Ruelle walking with her head tilted to the left while she pulled the fire alarm's axe with her right hand.

The situation made him stand to take a good look at Ruelle, something wasn't right and when she got closer he noticed the blood on her face and the blood on the ax, she snapped her head towards him and let out a smile.

"Hi!" She said in a cheerful voice and that's when he saw the police coming from both sides of the hallway, they were after her and he could easily tell, but he held his hand up for all of them which caused them to stop.

"Hello! I am doctor Kaysen, what's your name, darling?" He put his hand out for a handshake, and she dropped the axe on the floor before giving him her hand.

Kaysen felt something piercing his skin and he knew too well that she had injured him with a stiletto knife, but he didn't react, he just stayed still. She suddenly went on her knees and when his blood began to drop she licked it, which made him furrow his eyes in confusion.

"Hmm... I want more." he pushed the axe as fast as he could before she could get a hold of it, and he pulled his hands from hers along with the stiletto knife.

She kicked him, but he didn't lose his grip on her hand, he used his other hand and pulled her jacket before throwing it, she tried punching him many times but all he did was dodge the entire thing.

She used a free hand to pull out a spear with her free hand from her pants, and Kaysen knew he was in for trouble with this woman he had on his hold.

"Puppies!" She suddenly squealed, dropping the spear, causing Kaysen to be even more confused, and then he saw the puppies.

"You want puppies?" He asked.

"Yes please." she said in a very calm way, and he looked up ahead to see his best friend mouthing to him not to let go of her, which he nodded his head to.

He held her hand tightly and walked her towards the puppies that were beside a child. The poor child was scared to death upon seeing Ruelle, but Kaysen assured her through ASL, and she nodded before giving Kaysen the dog's holder.

"You have to be very careful, they are scared of you." Ruelle looked at him with her eyes empty as hell before looking back at the dog.

"What do they taste like?" Ruelle asked as Kaysen was completely taken aback by the question, and he knew something was wrong.

"We don't eat dogs, they are our pets." Ruelle suddenly let out a laugh.

"Fifty-five people in three years, a dog wouldn't change..." Kaysen immediately took the dog from her hand and gave the holder to the child before asking her to run while Ruelle was just silently watching trying to process the fact that he just took her snack away

"I was hungry, and you took my lunch away."

"A dog isn't a meal. I'll get..."

"Shut up!" She removed a blunt from her pocket and Kaysen looked at her with his heart beating slowly. Tony grabbed her by the waist and Kaysen took the blunt away. "... Let go of me!" Kaysen removed a syringe from his pocket and immediately injected her with the liquid within.

She instantly became weak and fell to the ground, passing out completely which made Tony look at him with a smile yet a worried expression.

"Relaxe Tony! It's just a dosage to knock her out, she's fine. So now, can someone tell what the hell is going on?"

"Ruelle Kye is the most wanted criminal in New York...."

"Ruelle Kye?" Kaysen took a good look at her and recognized her as Mr Kye's daughter, which even made him more confused."... I thought New York's most wanted criminal was the Night Killer?"

"She is the night killer, killed her father this morning along with a police officer and a nurse "

"That's impossible, she's the nicest person I know."

"She has completely lost her mind man and as much as she needs to be locked up, she needs medical attention as well, and you are the best psychiatrist everyone knows." Kaysen looked at his best friend with a dry look. Tony knew too well that Kaysen had a lot of work to do, but now that Ruelle was here he was literally the only one that is crazy enough to handle a person like her.

"Tell me how I met you again?" Tony let out a laugh as the nurses placed her on the stretcher. "... Hold on a second, let the police take her," he urged his men, and they took her to the car.

"I'll meet you later than" they both did a handshake before he left

Kaysen's curiosity about Ruelle had been triggered, and he wondered what had led to this very strange behavior of hers. Nothing in the world would have convinced that Ruelle Kye was completely insane if he didn't see it for himself.

Come to think of it, Tony had mentioned her father was dead, and it just gave him an opportunity to actually miss his father's party. He removed his phone from his back pocket to call his father, but Tony's name popped on the caller's ID when his phone rang, which made him furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"What happened?" He asked as he picked the call, but he first heard white noises, and then he heard Ruelle's voice. "... Tony, where the fuck are you?!" He asked, starting to panic.

"Ok, the bridge of death..." He coughed out with a heavy breath.

"Don't you dare die on me, Tony, where the fuck are you?" Kaysen threw his office keys towards the receptionist while mouthing for his office to be locked.

"At the station, she's with a..." He trailed off.

"Tony, hold on and stay away from her, stay as far as possible." He hung up, threw the phone to the back chair and drove as fast as he could.
