KILLERS CAN LOVE TOO


KILLERS CAN LOVE TOO
-Mary Claire Garcia
But she knew the only three words that she yearned for and ached for were the only thing that can fully heal her.
PROLOGUE
Year 2013 a new virus has engulfed the whole world. Only few were infected by the virus but it was enough. It was sufficiently enough to start an apocalypse. The virus made its hosts almost inhuman. Their senses were enhanced. Their physical abilities rivalled world champions. But the worst of all, they had the ability to suck life from anything and anyone. With just a touch and the will of their mind, they can spread a poison that can disintegrate anything and turn it into dust in just a matter of seconds. The life would transfer to them and make their sanity intact. The virus would kill the host if the host would not take life from anything or anyone else. There were hosts too who had viruses so strong which sucked life even without touching. But the payment was to feed it more lives or else it would eat the host’s sanity and kill it painfully. The virus was officially called the “Reaper Virus”. ”Reaper” from “Grim Reaper” the skeletal figure carrying a large scythe and clothed in a black cloak with a hood. The name “Grim Reaper” was chosen because it was also said that he was Death himself. The virus was not contagious but then there was also no cure found. The maker and the spreader of the virus’s identity could not be found yet he calls himself the Mad Hatter.
The governments in the whole world knew they can’t kill every host for both young and old alike were infected. They resolved the “virus-which-can-turn-you-to-dust-by-the-host” by letting all prisoners escape in the whole world. They gave them collars that can never be removed with trackers in them. They weren’t free. They were just prey for the predators. The Reapers were given their own headquarters that was larger than the White House and wages higher than a corrupted official makes in a year. They were given levels of how strong their viruses were. Their tattoos stated their level. Level 999 were the strongest and the most dangerous. The Reapers were given luxury and privilege. They weren’t hunted but instead they became the hunters. But they also became killers.


CHAPTER I
CAMAEL ASHRAIC
The sky was void of light except for the occasional flash of lightning. The rain was pouring down heavily as though it was going to already wash away the filth of the earth. Camael Ashraic lazily looked at his window as another lightning struck the dark sky once again. Camael looked like the prince of darkness himself with his attire and looks. He had hair as black as a raven’s feathers and his bangs reached his eyes which made him look like a naughty prince of the night. His long black lashes framed his green eyes that looked like they had once belonged to a cat. His lips looked irresistibly kissable too. He was tall and his body was what girls usually call “smoking hot”. He was wearing his favourite black fur jacket and he was lying comfortably on the sofa. He didn’t look like the president of the “R-Council” but he really was. Someone knocked on his door interrupting his lazy thoughts. The door opened and he looked up. It was his pitiful assistant.
“What is it?” he snarled.
Rick looked like he wanted to faint already. He was a Reaper too but a very low level one so he was stuck in duties. He was also very frightened of Cam. Cam was a level 999.
“They sent the ‘Angels of death squad’, sir. I wasn’t able to stop their decision. It was only one lowly prisoner bit there was no other squad nearby, sir. I-“
“Enough! Where are they right now?” he said, his eyes flashing.
“They’re chasing him right now. Here’s the t-tracker, sir” Rick handed the tracker to Camael.
“Give me five infected dogs too. That puny human wouldn’t be enough for her,” he commanded.
“Yes, sir,” squeaked Rick. Rick ran away as fast as he can and carried out his orders.
Camael sighed and looked at the tracker. He went to the parking lot and looked for the truck. As he opened the door to the driver’s seat, the dogs at the back barked more loudly than ever. He ignored them and seated himself on the driver’s seat.
“My darling angel, please hold onto your sanity for a little longer” he whispered with an amused smile.



TANYA EVERSTONE
She can sense him. He was still running but it didn’t matter. She was a Reaper and also a level 999. Her comrades sensed him too. The Angel of death squad consisted of four members. One member rarely came but he was excused since he had council duties.
“I’m getting tired of the chase. We’re all soaking wet so shall we end this game already?”
The one who spoke was Mirabella. She was the elder sister among Tanya’s two companions. Mirabella looked like a soaked runaway model. Nevertheless, she was beautiful. It was rumoured that the virus made its hosts flawlessly beautiful because of its abilities to quickly heal its hosts too. She had long caramel coloured hair and dark brown eyes that looked like it can lure you to the abyss itself.
“I’m getting starved too. Everstone, should we feast on him now?” asked Iris. Iris got her sister’s beauty too. She had short dark brown hair and straight bangs that made her look like a doll. The colour of her eyes was lighter than her elder sister but they both had the same carefree smile on their face.
Tanya nodded. No one dared call her by her first name. Those who did were never heard of again. But there was one person she had allowed to call her ‘Tanya’. If she was alone she could have had her fill despite the distance. But she wasn’t and she knew she had to share. They ran beyond human speed. They caught up the prisoner running for dear life. The three huntresses looked at each other and their eyes held a silent signal to finish the pitiful man. They touched him and in a second he was turned into dust.
“Let’s go back now,” said Mirabella. Her cheeks looked flushed and her eyes were bright and full of life.
“I wish to take a hot bath because of this hunt,” purred Iris her voice carrying off a contented tone.
They both looked at Tanya. She looked pale and she was breathing hard. Her pupils were dilated and she looked almost inhuman. She touched the tree beside her and smiled. She turned the tree to dust. The siblings realized what was happening to her and pounced on her at once.
“Get off me or I’ll turn the two of you to dust too!” she screamed with a smile plastered on her pretty face.
“You’ll get us into trouble if you turn this whole forest into dust, Everstone,” replied Mirabella. Even though there were two of them they were having trouble controlling a hungry level 999 girl.
“Please try to wait for a little while, Everstone. I’m sure the authorities would realize their mistake for sending us to only one prisoner,” pleaded Iris.
They heard the sound of an approaching car. The car stopped and the next thing that they heard was approaching footsteps and sounds of several dogs.
“It must be for her. Don’t falter your control on her, Iris”
“She’s too s-strong, Mira”
They wrestled Tanya while screaming for help to hurry up.
“Get off her. You girls can go now. I’ll handle her,” said a voice above them.
They looked up and fear flashed in their eyes. They hurriedly ran away. Tanya was breathing hard. She was still lying on the ground. Then she looked up and focused her eyes on the one who spoke.
“Cam, you’re late”
Cam smiled at her comment. She was still beautiful despite her crazed state. He gave her the dogs and watched as she turned them to dust one after another. She finally stood up after the last one. Her long white hair was in a mess but she still managed to take his breath away. She was small but she had delicious curves. She had long white hair and electric blue eyes. Her complexion was white as the snow and her lips always made him stare too long. Her confidence showed in her smile and she looked like the Ice Queen herself. She had colour on her cheeks too and her full sanity was back again. She walked towards him and her long black boots made him think of-
“You like what you see?” she teased, interrupting his thoughts.
“Yes, I like it very much,” he said. She laughed and he decided he wanted to hear her laugh more.
“Have you eaten already, Cam?” she asked as they walked outside the forest.
Her worried tone made him smile. He took her hand and helped her get inside the truck.
“Cammie, I know you have duties but you should take more care of yourself,” said Tanya. Tanya looked away. She only used ‘Cammie’ to him when she’s being serious and…sweet to him. He pulled her towards him. Her face inches from him.
“You worry too much, Tanya. I’ve already had my fill. If you don’t believe me, I’ll just prove it to you,” he whispered.
He kissed her. She closed her eyes and kissed him back. Life flowed between the two of them. There wasn’t taking but only sharing. It was as though two souls were dancing a deadly dance with each other. She sat on him and he hugged her closer to him. Her clothes were still wet from the rain and from pure male instinct he wanted to make her hotter at once. He kissed her more deeply and she made mewing sounds that made him want to take her there and then if she wanted him to. She broke away first. She licked her swollen lips and looked at him with her beautiful blue eyes. They were both breathing hard and she was still sitting on him.
“You’re a good kisser” she whispered to him with a smile.
“I practice a lot”
She rolled her eyes. They went back to headquarters.
“I’m going to my room now. Good night, Cammie”
He kissed her before she could protest.
“Good night, Tanya. Give me a call if you wish for company, “said Cam with a wink.
“I still want to keep my chastity, Cam. Get company from someone else”
“That reminds me…I forgot to tell you something important,” he said worriedly.
“You’re still a virgin?” she asked jokingly.
“It’s actually more important than that, princess”
She wanted to roll her eyes again.
“I’m going to turn the headquarters into dust right this second if you don’t tell me what the hell it is, Cam,” Tanya said sweetly.
“We’re going to school next week, angel”
It really was worse than a virgin Cam with killer kisses. Hell.



CHAPTER II
It was going to be the very first time for her to go to school. She was nervous as hell and prayed desperately for her tutor to arrive and say there was no way they were going to send a Reaper to school with the other normal kids. But she was going to be late already and she knew the siblings would annoy the hell out of her if she would make them late. She was relieved when she learned they would be in another room. But
