Love at your own risk

Ruelle Kye brushed the tip of a fireman axe with her fingers as she looked at the man before her shiver in fear. Ruelle let out a laugh that rang through the entire house, her wish was finally coming true, and she just couldn't wait any longer to taste the sickening blood that ran in this man's veins.

"Ruelle, please, we can talk about..."

"Talk?" She let out yet another laugh that could send shivers into anyone's veins before she got down on one knee with a frown. "... When I asked to talk, what did you tell me?" She questioned, but there was no response, and she slapped him across the face. "... What did you tell me?" She questioned again with traces of anger in her voice.

"I... I said I didn't have time."

"Good! Well unfortunately I don't have that time either" she swung the axe and smashed the head of the man who birthed her. "... Bye bye daddy, yum! Your blood does taste good, but unfortunately, you aren't here to taste it for yourself." She dropped the axe and walked downstairs with tears rolling down her cheeks.

She looked at the family portrait that was hanged on the wall by her mother last week, and she let out a scream while howling in tears, minutes later the front door flew open and her mother walked in with a happy smile but soon enough it was replaced with a frown upon seeing her daughter crying on the door with bloody hands.

"Ruelle?" Her mother called her, and she immediately raised her head up to look at her. "... Ruelle what happened? Why are you so..." Trisha trailed off as Ruelle jumped on her.

She ignored the stench of blood that she perceived from her and comforted her. Something happened, she knew that too well, but the fact that she couldn't see her husband anywhere scared her more.

"Ruelle, you need to tell mummy what happened, ok?" Ruelle pulled away before wiping the tears in her eyes.

"I got home earlier from college today and I saw..." She trailed off as she coughed out. "... I... I saw daddy covered in blood, he is dead mum, he is gone." she cried and Trisha was sent into a state of shock.

Trisha stood up from the floor, not believing what her daughter was saying, it just couldn't be happening. She immediately ran upstairs, and the pool of blood that covered the entire area made her heart beat increase.

She looked up ahead and saw the body of the man she loved with an axe on it. Trisha took a few steps back and bumped into her daughter, causing her to scream at the top of her lungs, but Ruelle held her mother still for she knew the pain she felt was nothing compared to hers.

"Mum, come please." She urged her mother and they both walked downstairs.

Completely ignoring the fact that the couch was covered in a white soft fabric Ruelle made her mother sit which caused an amount of red stain on the couch, Ruelle gave her mother a glass of water to reduce the possibility of her getting a heart attack.

"Calm down mum please, don't... Don't worry I'll call the police, and they will do something ok? Sit... Sit down here, please." Ruelle wiped the tears that threatened to fall from her eyes as she reached for her phone on the dining table.

She was confused and worried about the fact that her siblings were coming back very soon, and they just couldn't see this, but what exactly could she do in this situation.

"Hello... Hello 911?" She questioned in panic, for she wasn't really hearing anything from the other side of the phone. "... Hello?"

"Sorry about that, how many we..."

"My father just died, there's an axe on his head and my mother is close to having a panic attack!"

"Where do you live? And what's your name?"

"Kye's Residence, Fifth Avenue, My name is Ruelle."

"Calm down, Ruelle, we are coming, but keep trying to calm your mother down..." Ruelle hung up, not wanting to hear anything that the woman had to say anymore.

She looked at her mother sitting down on the couch, rocking back and forth, and wondered what her blood would taste like. Tilting her head left and right she picked a cable that laid on the table and walked towards her mother, but the sound of the siren outside the house caught her attention and she dropped the cable.

The door immediately flew open and the cops alongside a few nurses walked in, which made her take a step backwards in fear.

"We hurt you." They tried assuring her as they took her mother who had passed out to the ambulance and her father's dead body while the police began looking around for the slightest evidence they could get.

Ruelle grabbed the hands of the police officer in front of her, and she was taken to a different car from her parents. Though her eyes were puffy as hell, they held no emotion which made the officer confused, for any child will be ranting about how much they wanted to go to their parents, but Ruelle seemed like she was taken away from reality.

"Ruelle?" She turned to look at the officer with a sicken smile on her face.

"Yes?" The officer looked at her trembling hands, but she slapped her hands away. "... Your hands are filthy, don't touch me." The officer was confused as to how extremely calm she was in the situation.

"Is she ok?" Officer Tony asked from behind the wheels as he took a turn towards the hospital that her parents were being taken to.

"I can't tell if she's in a state of..."

"What does blood taste like?" Ruelle asked while reaching for something in her boot.

"I think she's... She's the killer." the officer said in panic as she saw Ruelle pull a pair of shears out.

"I am not a killer..." She said with her voice filled with innocence and her eyes a bit teary. "... I just wanted to know what daddy's blood was like, I'll love to taste yours."

Holding the shears with her right hand, she let out a sickening smile that sent nothing but chills into the poor woman's veins. The officers immediately pulled her gun and tried to shoot her, but before she could pull the trigger she felt the shears pierce her neck and she looked at Ruelle before turning slowly to Tony who had his gun pointed at Ruelle while trying to control the car.

Ruelle kicked his hand as he pulled the trigger, and it shattered the window, which made her laugh. The officer before her kept staring at her as she bled to death, she couldn't speak, but the pain she felt was unbearable.

Tears made their way down to her cheeks as she thought about her children, but she watched Ruelle take two fingers covered in her blood and place them into her mouth.

"Hmm... A bit sugary, but I love it." she laughed and removed the shears before turning to Tony, who was scared for his life. "... It's your turn now" right before her eyes Tony opened the door and rolled out of the car, but she didn't hesitate to follow him as a matter of fact walking out of a running car has turned to her specialty.

Ruelle was a twenty-two-year-old girl and the most wanted criminal in New York City. No one knew who she was to exact till today, for age always did her work with her face covered with a mask.

Rumor has it that she takes a bag of blood from each victim, and these rumors had been proven true when CCTV cameras spotted her killing a store owner late at night and drank a glass filled with the woman's blood.

Everyone feared the woman behind the mask, little did they know that she was the daughter of a reputed businessman _ Tobias Kye. Ruelle was the sweetest daughter anyone could ever have, but her parents always wondered why she was always quiet, why she was always in her room.

She walked into a narrow part with her hands in her pocket and the moment she walked out to the main road, the officer bumped into her, but before she could make a move she grabbed his hand.

"Cousin! I have been looking all over the place for you, come on, Dad is waiting." Tony knew too well that he couldn't escape this woman, for the smile on her face was enough to convince anyone that she was a lovely woman.

"R... Rule, I have duties to attend to." he tried freeing himself from her grip, but she held on so tight that he swore that his fingers would be broken in a matter of seconds.

"Let's take a cab to the hospital." Her sudden change of emotion scared the shit off him, but he knew too well that at this point his life was in danger, so he had to go along with whatever she said.

They both got into a cab and the driver recognized Ruelle as Tobias's daughter and Tony as a police officer, of course, and he continued to talk as he drove. Tony noticed as Ruelle's eye's began to twitch, and she slowly began to pull out a rope from her jacket.

"R... Ruelle.'' She didn't even spare him a glance; she just continued to pull the rope while reaching for the driver. "... Ruelle!!" He snapped, and she dropped the ropes on the floor before blinking severally and looking at him.

"Did you say something, Cousin?" She asked with her eyes filled with innocence.

"Not at all, you were lost in your thoughts, that's why I called your name." Tony realized that she was actually a serial killer or rather a Psychopath running free in the street, but he was confused as to how her parents never knew about this.

He looked at her wrist and recognized the tattoo of a broken heart, and it looked exactly like the one of the night killer who had killed fifty-two people in three years now fifty-four.

He slowly picked up the ropes as she concentrated on her phone. At that point, Tony was beginning to realize that he needed to do something the moment he got to the hospital, but how on earth was he going to escape her?

The car came to a sudden halt and Ruelle lifted her eyes from the phone to look outside the window, she suddenly burst into tears and Tony was certain that the girl before him had mentally lost her mind.

"Ma'am..." The cab driver started, but Tony glared at him, which made him shut up immediately.

Tony paid him and got Ruelle out of the car. This girl was without a fact fully armed, but he knew he couldn't reach any of her weapons. As he opened the door, the other officers were there waiting for him, and a nurse took Ruelle to her mother.

"What took you so long? And where's Daciana?" The head of the police department asked, but Tony had his eyes focused on Ruelle who was sitting down with a nurse.

"Daciana is dead, keep it down, guys. Ruelle actually killed her father, this girl is a psychopath and almost had me killed, do not look at her." he stepped on his colleague's foot.

"Sorry, why does she look so innocent."

"She's a psychopath, and she is the night killer. The same one we have been looking for three years, I recognize the tattoo on her wrist and she killed Daciana as well."

"Any idea why she killed her father?"

"She said she wanted to have a taste of her father's blood, the same thing she said before killing Daciana with a pair of shears. The axe on her father's body says it all, the night killer specializes in axes and Ruelle is fully armed, so it's a bad idea to even try and attack her right now."

"She trusts you well enough" Tony looked at his boss like he was about to commit murder.

"Trust? She wants to kill me to taste my freaking blood. How am I supposed to handle a maniac?"

"Tony, go over there and put some..." A bloody scream was heard from the hallway, and when Tony looked to where Ruelle sat, she was gone.

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.
