Who’s Next?
Alex placed the beer back on the counter as he faced the rugged man, who was sitting down on the floor.
They couldn't open their mouths, and no matter how afraid they were, they couldn't release a single sound.
Their faces had already been covered in snot and tears, while some had even soiled their own pants.
"Damn, are you guys making this place stink even more than it already is," Alex said as he held his nose for a moment and then released it, seeing that it did not affect his super senses even if he closed his nose with his hand.
'All right, let's close this place first.' Alex thought as he turned towards the Bartender.
Alex's crimson eyes shone as he looked at the man.
"Get up and close this place down. Make sure that no one comes or is able to see what's happening inside," Alex said as he pointed towards the entrance.
The Bartender's eyes started releasing even more tears, and his already dark pants became darker as he walked towards the entrance, locked it, and released the black curtains around the bar.
"Good, now return here and sit down again," Alex said as he took the stool from the bar counter and sat down himself.
"Now then, how about we see just how far this ability of mine goes?" Alex mumbled to himself as he looked at the men.
"Anyone who has raped or killed someone else, raise their hands," Alex said out loud.
Four arms were raised.
Alex froze for a split second, and then his expression turned extremely ugly. Rage bubbled up in his gut, an almost unstoppable fury brewing inside of him.
' Four out of the eleven of these fuckers was either a rapist or a murderer, huh' Alex thought as he grit his teeth.
Stopping momentarily, Alex took a deep breath and released it slowly.
*Huff*
"Four people should be enough then," Alex said as he issued his next orders.
"Everyone besides these four and the Bartender, get up and go home. You will forget what happened here today for the rest of your lives and will instead turn a new leaf and start becoming better men," Alex ordered.
The four men who had been divided got up and sat on the floor closer to Alex while the others looked blank. After unlocking the door, they got up and headed outside the bar.
Looking at the backs of the men who were heading outside, Alex thought.
'All right, let's see just how long the commands last. Do they have a time limiter, or will they continue forward as I ordered them? I'll have to monitor them for the next few months. I'll just do a checkup every week,' Alex thought as he turned his head towards the four men.
"Bartender, you will lose consciousness from now on and forget all that has happened here," Alex said as he stared into the man's eyes.
*Bang*
The man fell on the floor unconscious, his body even rolling for a moment before it stopped.
Standing up from the stool, Alex went near the four men on the ground, sniffling to themselves as they felt true terror while being unable even to say a word or release a sound.
"All right, let's see what we can do with this power of mine, shall we?" Alex said as he smiled at the men. His beautiful face, which looked like it came from a fairy tale, didn't look so great to the man right now.
It looked like a demon sent from hell to torture and eat them alive.
'And here I was wondering where I was going to find blood. They are just the perfect target,' Alex thought and then issued another order.
"You, the large chubby one, get up," Alex said as he pointed at the man.
The man stood up on his two feet, his legs shaking as if they were leaves under the wind.
Alex smiled as he tilted his head.
"Only when I ask you a question and only tell the truth in short answers," Alex said.
"What did you do, rape or murder," Alex asked as he narrowed his crimson eyes at the man.
"Rape," The man said, his voice shaking, the words barely being carried out.
Alex nodded and then told the man, his smile still on his face, though it didn't reach his cold, hard eyes.
"Kill yourself with that knife behind the counter," Alex said as they pointed behind the counter.
The man's body started moving on its own; his face had turned gruesome as tears didn't stop streaming down his face, and his eyes had turned red as the man presumably tried his hardest to stop his body. However, it didn't listen to his mind.
Taking the knife in his hand, The man with shaking arms brought it up to his throat and stabbed.
*Klench* *Thump*
His body fell down a second later as he lay down on the wooden floor of the bar, his blood gushing out of his neck as the light disappeared from his eyes.
Alex walked towards the man while he maintained a smile. His skin had gotten paler, and his finger was faintly shaking as he neared the body of the soon-to-be-dead man.
Crouching down, Alex looked the man in the eyes as he breathed his last.
'I killed him. I killed another human.' Alex thought, his mind in shock at what he had done. However, contrary to what he thought he would feel, he didn't feel disgust when looking at the dead man. He didn't feel like he had killed a human.
'I feel like I simply killed a cow, a sheep, ' Alex thought to himself as his face turned into a grimace for a short moment before losing all expression.
*Sigh*
'I guess I shouldn't have expected anything to change when I became a vampire,' Alex thought as he walked back to the other men.
Turning to face them, Alex forced a large smile on his face.
'You pieces of shit deserve it either way,' Alex thought as he opened his mouth and asked the men.
"So, who wants next?"
