Excerpt: Severed

Xavier stood on the grass as still as he could be his first victim was about to meet death, a slow gruesome death just the way Xavier liked it. He liked to watch them scream, to suffer, nothing filled his heart with more joy. Xavier looked into the small window of the old house and saw a man standing in front of the fridge. A spike formed in the air just to the right of Xavier and then flew through the air, crashing through the window and connecting with the man’s chest. The man screamed in agony, fear consuming his thoughts Xavier could feel his power growing, he let out a deep throaty laugh knowing no one could stop him. The metal spiked started to wrap itself around the mans body and then it started to move back towards Xavier tearing the mans flesh and slowly severing the man in half.

Xavier walked towards the house slowly savoring the smell of fear that stilled lingered in the air. He walked through the wall, an Axe forming in his hand as he walked closer to the body. Xavier slammed the axe down on the man’s right arm severing it from his body, the axe disappeared and the hand rose into the air and rested over a wine glass on the counter, blood dripped from the severed arm into the glass. The arm disintegrated as the last drop of blood splashed into the glass. Xavier licked his lips as he reached for the glass of blood, he swished the blood around in the glass and he raised it to his nose savoring the smell, he touched the glass to his lip and tilted it back, the cold liquid pouring down his throat. Xavier could feel his arm start to re grow as the last drop dripped onto his tongue. He watched as the tendons and bones reformed. Xavier wiggled his fingers as his fingernails started to grow back. It feels good to be back. Xavier threw the glass to the floor, a flame ignited on the floor where the glass hit as the flames began to engulf the house Xavier disappeared the devastation had begun.
