Chapter 158 The Killing Joke



These past five days have been weird for me.

For starters, I stink of blood because of this stupid \'cleansing\'...

I also had a pair of bumbling baboons that seemed to follow me anywhere, Max wasn\'t supposed to be this clingy but the lions really seemed to have a number on him.

Now, just when I had thought that I had seen it all, this happens.

The intimidating chief of Roar village, a hero among heroes was standing before me wearing an apron and looking after some snotty brats....oh, how the mighty have fallen!

I watched as Leo consoled the crying wolf child with warmth in his eyes.

" There...there, it\'s alright now, sweety.", Leo says patting the child on her head.

The child sniffled and held back her tears as if she didn\'t want to disappoint Leo and went back to play with her friends, she didn\'t forget to blow me a raspberry before leaving.

\'What a thoughtful child....\'

" You don\'t seem to like children all that much...", Leo says smiling at the child\'s retreating figure,

" What\'s there to like ?"

" Hmmm, I don\'t know.", Leo says leaving me behind to join Lydia and Max.

I follow behind him not wanting to be left behind,

" It\'s good to see you here again, Luna\'s child.", Leo says smiling at Lydia.

Leo seems to be smiling a lot now, that\'s weird since the last time I saw him, he was an impulsive, violent and stupid piece of trash.

" I\'m glad to be back, sir,", Lydia says smiling back nervously.

" W-what\'s he doing here ?", Max asked taking refuge behind Lydia\'s broad shoulders.

" I also like to volunteer here.....it\'s the least I can do.", Leo takes a good look around the lively orphanage," After all, these children are our future."

Ugh.

That serial killer should kill these kids, I mean this dumb lion seems to like them so maybe the killer will get caught faster....it\'s just a thought...that I now realize is a little abnormal.

The three of us talk for a little more before Leo suggested that we stop dawdling and start helping around the orphanage.

" Kill the monster !"

Lots of rocks were thrown at the \'monster\'.

The monster had attacked the civilians out of nowhere, at first the civilians had run out of fear but after some time they decided that they wanted to protect their home, so they started fighting back by throwing small pebbles at the monster,

Unfortunately, the civilian\'s attacks were in vain as the monster deflected all of them easily.

But just when everything was thought to be lost, he arrived-

" Fear not...…I, Maximillian Reynolds shall protect you !", the hero said shining a light of hope in the hearts of the distraught citizens.

" You fiend!, how dare you attack the innocent people of this uh...town ?"

In response to the hero\'s words, the monster did nothing but sigh.

" Can we just go home already ?", the monster said glaring at the civilians,

...

" CUT !"

A wolf child walked casually to the monster and smacked his legs with a piece of paper,

" That\'s not your line, monster !", the wolf child screamed, glaring at the monster.

The monster scoffed at the child\'s impertinence, just as he was about to speak, the wolf child said,

" Ughh...this is not working out, you\'re fired !"

The monster looked offended hearing the child,

" You can\'t do this to me...I\'m the one who started this company !"

" What ?", the child asked looking confused.

" I m-mean you don\'t have to fire me...because I quit !"

As the situation was escalating, one of the civilians came and dragged the monster away.

The monster watched in envy as the children surrounded the hero praising him for his \'amazing performance\'.

" Well....that was sad to watch.", Lydia commented as we too shelter within the orphanage.

" I hate kids....", I say, my eyes burning with hatred.

...

" Hahahahahah--"

Seeing Lydia laughing like a maniac, I became confused,

" What\'re you laughing for ?", I asked narrowing my eyes.

" It was funny to watch a kid fire you from a role.....hahaha and you were so hurt...hahaha-", Lydia says through her laughter.

It has been two hours since we came to the Blue Finn orphanage.

Leo informed us that the caretaker had business elsewhere, so he was subbing in for her just for today. We helped him clean and prepare food quickly, after which the children asked us to part of a little game they were playing.....it was a stupid game.

The door to the room we were in swung open making Lydia stop laughing momentarily, Leo stood at the other side holding a tray of what seemed to be tea and cookies. It was funny seeing someone so intimidating doing something so....hmmm, what\'s the word for it,

Sensitive? Kind? Naïve? Fragile?

Wait....who fucking cares?

" It seems that the children have tired you out."

" They didn\'t tire us out, sir." Lydia smirked at me," They fired us."

Hearing her, Leo raised his brows and asked,

" How so ?"

Just like that Lydia began narrating the events that had transpired a few minutes ago, all three of us take a cookie and glass of tea as well.

" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAAHAHAH-", the old lion\'s laugh thundered around the room frightening even the mosquitoes that were just trying to suck some blood.

Lydia laughs along with him, I just sit there completely ignoring the bullies around me.

" HAHAHAHAHAHAH-KREAK-HAHAHA-URGGG"

Lydia stopped laughing as she noticed that something was wrong....very wrong.

" CRUCK-COUGH-COUGH-COUGH-COUGH"

Leo\'s laugh had slowly turned to a fit of coughing, he seemed to be in pain.

\'Splatter\'

Blood slowly started coming out of his mouth, the more he coughed the more blood seemed to come out until-

\'Thump\'

-the old lion passed out on the floor.

Lydia and I stare at the horrific scene before us.

I turn around to face Lydia and say,

" Well...you killed him."
