The expert Archer and Huntsman had chosen his latest prey carefully. She was so needy and desperate for attention when he met her that it was child’s play getting her to fall in love with him. He literally smothered her with daily phone calls,texts and phrases of love in a different language to show her how enamored he was with her. It was almost too easy.
He had grown bored with her;her constant pleading to to spend more time with him and always asking how he could have changed so much from the man she first met. When was she going to figure out it had all been just a game to him? It was becoming hard work to feign interest in her life.
It was time to put this prey out of its misery and end this once and for all.
He chose his arrows carefully. Afterall, he had to make sure he got his point across. ( no pun intended !) He aimed his first arrow directly at her heart; the one she said she had locked away for the past forty years until she had met him. She had experienced a disastrous,abusive relationship as a young woman and had not loved anyone since. He was not affected by her past trauma.
He chose despair for his second arrow. After all, isn’t that what she would feel when she realized it was over and she had been conned? Lastly,he chose emptiness. He had taken so much from her he was sure she would feel this way for a very long time.
He could tell his arrows had hit their mark as he watched the light fade from her eyes,the eyes that had always lit up when she saw him,sparkled even.
The Huntsman smiled to himself. He was so looking forward to hunting for new prey. Granted,it was difficult for him to truly feel anything,but causing pain was a thrill he couldn’t live without. Isn’t this what a sociopath lives for?
