Combination Complex

  Combination Complex
The cold January air made the nerves on Dale's face tingle and the sound of many pairs of hurrying feet on the snow crunched in his ears. They had just returned from Christmas break even though , with the blizzard they had last night, school should have been canceled.
But no, here he was, entering the place he dispised the most.
He wasn't strange looking like the goth and emo kids but he wasn't in on all the hot trends. Dale was very average in appearance. He wasn't popular but wasn't outcast. Still it was enough for him to hate coming to Gaver High.
 He was queit and kept to himself as he searched the crowd for a few familar faces. His eyes landed on Ellina, one of the friends in his little group. She was a tall, friendly girl with deep brown hair with red highlights. Freckles dusted her rounded face and shoulders.
 "How are you in a tank top right now?" He asked her as he approached, shivering in his own jacket. She giggled in response.

"Im from Finland remember. Im use to this." Her smile burned into Dale's mind. Of course this was the girl he had feelings for, though when he told her, she denied him saying she wasn't ready to be in a relationship at 15. He respected her but still kept an angry grudge aginst her that he kept to himself.
A few of his other friends had gathered at this time and they had all made their way into the high school.
 At lunch Dale sat with his usual friends(this includes Ellina) and discussed commonly spooken about topics in their age group.

"Guys I will be moving back to Finland next week."
Their group got quiet and those words rang through Dale's ears, causing them to ache. No, she couldn't leave. He wanted her to stay, he knew that if she stayed he could make her love him. Or so his delusion told him so.
"No why!?" He said excitedly, on the verge of crying.
"My dads job called him back since there is no more work for him here."
 
 She continued on with why she was returning to Finland but Dale was lost in his own thoughts. Her farewell throbbed in his brain making him nauseous.  He threw the chair back and ran to the bathroom. He flug his head over the toilet and vomited. He tried so hard not to cry, he honestly did but the tears still flowed. He loved her and he wanted her and only her.

*Then take her*

Dale looked up and wipped his face on his sleave. He stood up and stare blankly ahead. There was no need to cry, no not at all. Because he could have her, he could take her and they could become one permanently. Dale smiled as he made his way out of the bathroom.

--

" Hey Ellina, can I talk to you... in private." Dale beckoned the girl to follow him. Being the type of girl she was she didnt queston following Dale into the forest by the school.
 "What do you need to tell me?"
Dale didnt answer, he only continued to walk deeper in to the forest. Dale listened intently to Ellina, her breathing getting heavier as they walked. She was getting nerveous and her heart began to race.

"Dale we need to head back this is to deep in the woods."

*Not deep enough*

"Dale please."

*Don't stop*

"Dale you're scaring me please stop! Go back!"

She began to scream at him, yanking for her arm to be set free from his grasp.

"Let go!"

Dale turned around, an insane grin on his face and his left eye twitching. Her eyes widden as he turned around and lifted his hand, a knife gripped in it.

*Stay with me*

Ellina's blood squirted all over Dale as the knife penitrated her beautiful neck. Her hands lifted up as she grabbed at the knife trying to get it out but blood was leaving to fast and she collapsed onto the snow cover ground. Her blood turning the white powder into a crimson icy treat.
Dale reached down and toke a handful of the blood drenched snow, bringing it to his lips and taking it into his mouth.

*Disgusting*

He vomited the mixture back out onto the ground which splattered onto Ellina's corpse. Dale squated down and observed her dead body, his rosey fingers contrasting against her greying skin.

"Aren't you happy to be with me now Ellina, now you can be with me forever. We can start a family. We can have beautiful babies." He pressed his lips against hers in a affectionate peck before he noticed her backpack had spilled open and a small sewing kit had fallen out along with other various things.

*Become one*

Dale grabbed the kit and threaded the needle with a black thread. He pulled the knife out of Ellinas neck and caressed her face.
"Dont worry my love, this wont hurt."
With the knife he began cutting a squared patch out of her fleash. He peeled away the freshly cut slab of meat and held it up to the light.
"How beautiful, but now" he looked down at her " you have an empty hole that must be filled."
 Dale brought the knife up to his face, looking at his refection the the metal and blood on the blade. He pressed the knife into his cheek and began removing a slab of his own fleash. He screamed out in agony as he removed his cheek from his face, the blood filling his mouth and pouring out along with tears and saliva.
He toke the slab of his fleash and pushed into the open wound he cut on Ellinas cheek and began sewing it to her as he cried. His cries echoing through out the woods.
"Ellina you are so lovely."  He struggled to say with deformed lips and a mouth full of blood. Dale spit, trying to make room to breathe.
He glared excitedly at Ellinas patch of fleash in his hand and he brought it to his face. With shaking hands and muttered cries he began to blindly sew, going plainly on touch to find the right place for the needle to go. Once finished he cleaned off the knife on his shirt and used the reflection to admire his work. His body shook from blood lost and pain.
"Finally we are together, Ellina."

*Not enough*

He needed more. He had to become her. He grabbed the knife and pulled open her mouth, he cut out her toungue and shoved it into his mouth, swallowing it whole. Her eyes were scooped out and consumed as well.

*More*

He pulled off her shirt and stabbed the knife into her stomach, pulling only until her organs were exposed and he began to feast. His mouth filled with vomit as his stomach began to purge up her organs but he swallowed it back down

*No she must stay*

He ate until he couldn't eat anymore. His body screaming at him. He was sick, bleeding and dying , but he must not die. What about the others he loved. What if they tried to leave. No. No. No. Dale cried to himself. The tears flowing as he laughed maniacally.  He abandoned Ellina's half consumed corpse and began making his way back to civilization  in the growing darkness.

*Alll must stay. All must stay*

He said over and over in his head. His mind controlled by his own insanity. The murder and taste of human blood only feeding it. He would take everyone he loved and make them one with him. His mother, his brother, his dog. Anyone he met from then on that he loved, their limbs will become his. Their organs will become his. They will help fuel him to become the monster destiny had decided he would become.
They would stay.
They would stay.
They would stay.



Dale made his way through the newly fallen snow, his body shaking from the cold winter air. He scratched at the wound on his cheek and wiped some of the blood off on his sleeve. Ducking behind trees and parked cars to avoid sight, Dale slowly made his way from the crime scene to his own home. The car that belonged to his mother sat in the driveway of their small, off white town home. Dale walked up the steps and stood for a moment at the front door.
 Dale reached into his pocket and pulled out his house key, unlocking the front door and slithering into the house. He closed the door without a sound and walking calmly down the hall.
 His slender, dark-haired mother stood in the kitchen, her back to dale, washing dishes that cluttered the kitchen. Her voice echoed throughout the kitchen as she hummed a familiar tune. Dale approached her, inches away from the woman just as she began to turn around. Dale's mother let out a scream and dropped the clean dish she was getting ready to put in the dishwasher. After she realized the boy in front of her was her own son the woman dropped to the floor and cupped Dale's face in her hands.
  " Dale, sweety! What happened to you? Oh my god!" she began to tear up as she observed her sons mutated face.
 " It's okay mommy." Dale said, slightly smiling. His mother gave his a baffled look.
" No, no sweety its not okay. You're hurt. Is this sewn on skin!? Dale!"
"Mommy, we became one mommy. We are together forever."
Dale's mother became extremely frightened, her heart in her knees and her worry showing in her voice.
" It's okay mommy, we can be together for ever too!" Dale said smiling and is mother, his teeth stained with blood. His mother clasped her hand over her mouth and backed far away from her child, noticing his clothes covered in blood and sick.
"Dale you're scaring me." She said backing away more, but Dale stepped closer, his smile turning into a frown.
"Do you not want to stay with me mommy?" Dale continued to step closer to his mother who began to reach for the home phone mounted on the wall.
" Dale , sweety, of course i want to stay with you, I'm your mother." Se said grabbing the phone and reaching up to dial 911.
"You're lying." Dale said in a low ton, stabbing a sharp piece of the shattered dish into his mother's stomach. His moth dropped the phone and reached for her fresh wound but was stabbed once again by the agile boy. He stabbed her repeatedly  until her legs gave out and she dropped onto the floor , bleeding to death.
 Dale stood over his mother's dying body and smiled at her.
" Now, let's stay together for ever. Okay mommy?" Dale said before he sat down by his mother and ripped open her stomach and began to feast.
Once he ad finished gorging himself, the taste of human meat no longer bothering his stomach, he stood up to observe his mother's corpse. What a lovely sight.
" Now what should I take from you?" Dale wondered to himself before hearing a low growl from a four legged beast. Dale turned to the direction of the growling and found his little brother,Bobby, standing at the end of the kitchen. His coat was on and was covered in snow and their dog on a leash, growling at Dale.
"It's ok Shiloh, mommy is just taking a nap." Dale walked over to the dog and reached out to pet her, who only  bit Dale. Dale yelped and stabbed the the dog with a near by kitchen knife then prying open the dog's jaw and kicking it aside. Dale then looked at the traumatized Bobby that stood in front of him. Dale smiled at his brother and ignored the pain in his hand.
" Now..." Dale began before Bobby began to run away, aiming for the front door. Dale , however, was to fast for Bobby and grabbed Bobby's jacket hood. Bobby fiddled with the jacket's zipper and tried to slip out of his jacket but Dale had already slammed Bobby against the wall and pierced his stomach with the kitchen knife. Bobby squeaked as the knife stabbed through him. Dale giggled before letting go of Bobby so the weight of gravity pulled his body down on the knife, ripping him open. His insides spilled onto the tile floor and Dale instantly fell to his knees and teared through the organs with his teeth. He forced so much into his mouth that he dislocated his jaw and ripped open the wound.
His mind was consumed by his own lust for the taste of human blood. His craving forced him to eat more his stomach could hold and eventually, it burst. Dale's corpse fell over next to his brother. Though he was dead, he died with his eyes open and a smile on his face.
