All Chapters of The Monster Within : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Ethan’s POV  I stood there watching her kiss this man completely lost in him and all I felt was hate and anger. I had to control the Monster inside me wanting to rip his throat out and just take her now. I cleared my throat and she returned her gaze to me. She apologized and then we all went to the diner. I played cool even though all I wanted was to have her in my arms and her blood dripping down my body. We made small talk and then she pulled the old file out. When she had shown me it at the station door it had intrigued me. Then as it laid in front of me the memories came flooding back. I stared at the pictures. The one that started it all. I was so sloppy I am surprised I didn’t get caught. Rose McClain was a beautiful young lady. She was my babysitter. Even though I was thirteen at the

I stared at him in disbelief. “What did you just say?”“I didn’t stutter Joey. I killed them all including Tara and Cooper.” I took a seat in front of him. I stared into his eyes and I could see no hint of anything wrong at first. I pulled out the pictures of all the victims.“Okay, James if what you are saying is true then let’s start with the first. I want you to tell me everything you did to each and every one of them.” He looked at me and then looked at the window and back at me again. I knew something wasn’t right. He may have been guilty of taking drugs while on duty but he wasn’t a murderer. “James, look at me. What is going on? We were partners. I know you aren’t responsible for this.”“I can’t Joey. Just book me for the murders. I have to do this.” He wouldn’t say anything else after that. I walked out and into the hall. White was there waiting for me.

Michael's POV...I opened my eyes and the room was dark. I tried to sit up but the sharp pain that shot through my side was unbearable. I heard some noise coming from what I could only guess was a door. "Hello. I need help please." I heard some shuffling and then the door opened. The light was blinding at first but then my eyes adjusted."Why Michael so nice for you to finally join us. I have someone here that wants to see you." That voice. The man had stayed just outside of my view. I saw a shadow move around and then I saw her."Michael? Are you ok?" My Joey stood there bloody and hurt. "Joey. I'm ok baby. Are you ok? What is going on? Who is out there with you?" Her eyes had tears in them as she was moved out of the way and there

Ethan’s POV... I laid quietly watching that bastard propose to my woman. The small space I hid in made it hard to not make a sound and the anger inside me made it hard to not jump down there and kill him and claim her. I knew that I had to wait though. Since my escape, they have been looking everywhere for me except for where I actually was. Michael also has made sure that someone is always with Josephine so I have just been sitting in wait for my time. I had it planned out and knew my way of escape once I had what was mine. I knew that eventually someone would fuck up and give me my opportunity. I laid there waiting for her response to his proposal.  “Yes! Yes, Michael of course I will marry you.” Her sweet voice hit my ears and the anger and pain inside me became too much. I crawled

When I came to I was lying in the bed. I wasn’t chained which was surprising considering I tried to escape. It was dark and the only light was from the moon coming in the window. I laid there a minute until my bladder made me get up. I started to sit up and that’s when I heard him move next to me. He was sitting in a chair next to my bed. “Why did you have to try and run? Now I have another body to get rid of and it’s all your fault.” I looked down because I knew the risk when I tried what I did but I did it anyway. He was right I was the reason she was dead. “I.. I..” I don’t know what came over me but it just hit me. “No. It’s not my fault Ethan. I didn’t shoot her and I didn’t kidnap myself. It’s your fault. You are the one who shot her and the one who kidnapped me and also the one who killed all those othe
