The Deal is Broken---Chapter 20

My connection with the monster has gotten worse.

It happened on what I had considered a normal evening. I was in my laboratory with nothing more than my treacherous thoughts and what was a half formed creature before me. The most dangerous of the two were my thoughts, thoughts that had lead me to create the first creature and this one, thoughts that had becomed actions and had hurt many people through the way. My thoughts were more different this evening than usual. My mind started to head towards the future. Once I had finished this monster, would life be better or worse? Would giving the creature a mate give my happiness and ensure the safety I longed for towards humankind? What if they did not feel an attraction towards each other? What if she rejected him? These questions kept on being formed throughout my mind which lead to one of the most significant questions, what if they desired to create their own form of creature race? They would destroy all of humankind and claim dominance over this earth. And so I began to think that I was not willing to have humankind's fall on my soul if I could barely contain my own soul, or what I still had left of it, with the deaths of my many loved ones.

Then, with the creatures hideous face grinning wicked back at me through the window I had made my decision and destroyed the form I was working on in front of him. I tore it limb to limb thoroughly, tearing ravishingly into it , making it to small pieces as if by doing that I was ensuring that it would no longer come back. And as I tore up the monster's only prospect of having a mate, he savagely threw back his head and ran away.

Later on into the night. he came back, demanding an explanation for my earlier action. I responded with what I still considered part of my sanity, that I no longer wished to be apart of his compromise. He continued on with his ramble of cursing me. And then swore vengeance on me on my wedding night. I was about to silence him, but before I could but my thought into action he had gone into the night. I thought for a considerably long time of what had just happened and about his promise and retired to bed with vengeance still drifting off into my slumber.

The following night I expected the creatures presence to arrive but instead was presented a letter from Henry. It mostly dealt with how he wished that I would leave my little isle of loneliness and accompany him towards society. And so with much decision making I resolved to accompany him and start to relive again. But that of course required me to clean up the pieces of the deformed creature. And after much time mustering up enough courage, I entered the laboratory and cleaned up the parts and chemicals. And after such a horrible task, I decided to relieve myself by letting my mind escape into nature on the small boat that drifted away carelessly onto the water. But the following morning I landed on a strange land with strangers acting very rudely towards me and then accusing me of murder. Of course I knew that I was innocent , so I let my mind not worry of such things. I should have known, better than to know that fate was not so kind....
