Chapter 14: I’m Dangerous
Listening to Pride's voice, I found my way outside of the bear's house without too much trouble. The rest of the voices were arguing about what they thought I should do next, but I wasn't really paying attention to them.
This was the first time that I could remember where I had a choice in where my life went next, and I really didn't like that. Life was so much easier when someone else made all the decisions, but I also didn't like the suggestions that the demons were coming up with.
Building my own city and saving a bunch of ungrateful people? That was so overdone that it was laughable. Everyone wanted to be the one person in power, and they were probably more willing to kill to get it.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't mind the idea of killing people, but the whole process was a bit too messy for my liking. You had to deal with the blood and bodies, and now that the dead just popped right up again like daisies in the springtime, it was just a pointless exercise as far as I was concerned.
Greed's idea that I collected as many supplies as Teddy could hold did have merit, but it wasn't like I had a place to cook everything that I collected... nor could I actually see what I was collecting in the first place either.
I liked Pride's idea that I could find a quiet place where I could live by myself, but I needed the guys around me, in person if at all possible, and that wasn't happening without more wishes.
And wishes required people.
So that idea wasn't possible either.
A sharp stone dung into the soft arch of my right foot, but I ignored the pain as nothing more than a minor annoyance...
