It was quiet. No sound, no noise, no nothing. It was such a pristine feeling, and he didn't want to ruin it right now. He never got moments like this where he was out in the trees away from everyone. He would sometimes come up to the cabin to get away, away from the noise and people. He certainly needed a break after finishing a 70 hour week day. Saving lives had a cost to it, and though he was paid handsomely for it he despised the idea of saving too many lives. The number of lives saved should be the number of deaths that should happen in that very day. Which was why he had a system. For every life he saved, he'd kill a person. It wasn't out of hate, fear, or want. It was simply to make nature at peace. Who was he kidding? Saving lives had its moments, but actually looking in the eyes of a man as he left this world was amazing. To know that you were the one to end his life was pure joy and at the same time... sorrow. The snow that fell while he stood on his front porch was somewhat soothing. Due to the snow there was almost dead silence, and he wished the city could get quiet like this. Grocery bags were by his feet, and he wore a heavy snow jacket to shield himself from the cold. His hair was damp from the snow which was beginning to melt on his hair. His own glasses were beginning to fog up, perhaps he should go inside and just relax. After all, trudging up the snow to his cabin was a pain in his ass. His arms were sore from carrying groceries, and his legs were wanting to crumble with how much he walked. Yet, he absolutely loved the feeling of exhaustion, made him feel like he was hunting. Whenever he chose his victims, he would certainly go to great lengths to get them to his apartment in the city. At times he would stab them so much he'd pass out himself.
Now, he wasn't a scrawny man. He was lean, and had some tone in his muscle, however, he didn't flaunt out his strength. How could you stay in the shadows while bragging about your strength and abilities? You had to be stealthy if you wanted to have this kind of hobby, which was why he wasn't as social as others would see him. Sure, he'd go to parties with co-workers, or go get drinks at the bar. He always had a facade in which everyone knew him by. To his co-workers he was the optimistic cheerful man, who would gladly watch your drink or drive you home from a night of fun. He was dependable, kind, and most importantly handsome. Women enjoyed the way he looked, but rarely paid attention to those kind of things. Murder was so much more satisfying than sex, well... from what he could tell. He had some relationships he tried to come by and there were moments where he enjoyed sex, but he always went back to his addiction.
When he decided to go back inside, he shook off the remaining snow, and put his bag to the side. His home was modern with windows covering the walls to reveal no privacy unless curtains were drawn. He has a simply black couch with a tv mounted in front of it on the wall. To the left of the couch was a large bookshelf that took up a wall, it held a large number of books. From Fantasy all the way down to Medical informative books. He enjoyed a variety of books, and was still collecting more. He prided himself in his education and most of all his imagination. It was to the left of the bookshelf sat an arm chair which he held dear. It was moments where he could spend reading and actually be able to feel himself. Unlike the facade he always wore, there was a quietness to him. Which was why he had a cabin all the way in the trees, to allow himself to ponder on human emotions and the human brain. It was also the moment he got to kill without the fear of others hearing. He had sound proofed his very own room to fit his style of torture. Well, it wasn't torture, but stabbing someone specifically 45 times seemed to be his thing. The media just called him the Butcher, but he saw it as more of a cleansing. The kitchen was his next pride and joy, which was seen from when you entered. It had stainless steal equipment with an island that held the stove top. It was here, where you saw his true nature. If he hadn't become a surgeon he would have become a chef. Not many people tasted his cooking, because to him it was very intimate. You had to be his lover if you ever wanted his food. Anyone who entered his cabin would surely be killed before dinner time, so there was never a point to tempt them with his food. The knife rack that held every knife you could name. From a simple paring knife to a cleaver, he had it all. He would never use his kitchen knives for a kill. He had his own knife he loved to use, a simple wooden handle blade. Then to the right of the kitchen was a spiral staircase that lead to the second level which only held two rooms. His office where a neat desk with placed in front of the window, then a long black couch where you would see one simple blanket on it. He slept there, and only there. His bedroom was the "killing" room. It was simply a mattress with a view.
But unlike an image of a blood stained room, it was clean. No spots, no dirt, and simply no decoration. It was a plain white room with a mattress. yes he did have to replace the mattress a few times, but he made sure to always put a plain sheet to help keep the blood off of the mattress.
And that was the end of the little tour. It was nestled in between trees, and it would look like any welcoming home. Though it didn't have the stereotypical all wood exterior, but it still felt like he was camping. He had internet, and he had cable connection. The only thing he didn't have was good roads. The dirt road was the only way up to his cabin, and he rarely saw any hikers. Any hikers he picked off were from the main trail which was a good 10 miles away. Yes, some rangers would come to his cabin and request a search and he would oblige. After all, he had a burial ground for all of his kills. It was the meadows where wolves, mountain lions, and the simple badger could feast on the bones and meat. Usually only bones were left over, and even then some animals tend to chew on them.
Everything was just... perfect. Well it would have been if the moment he placed his groceries on the countertop did he hear a cry. A cry that interrupted every silence he needed, and an annoyed look crossed his features. Eyes looked at the door, waiting for another cry for help. When he got no other answer, he simply ignored it. He was too tired to find a traveller and get rid of them. Hiking up those 10 miles did a number on him, and he just wanted hot chocolate and sit by the fire place. That was all. But then- his mind had a whole different idea. You see, he was always a curious creature, and though as a surgeon he got to see the insides of people, he was more curious about the human mind. Specifically, his mind. He didn't feel like he was a psychopath, sure he didn't feel empathy and he had to put a mask on to actually seem normal. But he had his own emotions and thought process, just other humans didn't. For once, can you save a life without having to be in the Emergency room? That thought actually surprised him. Well, he had never saved a life outside of work, he had only taken lives.
Don't you want to know why you kill?
Well, he wanted to kill caause he could. Why was he asking such stupid questions? He wanted to ignore, and he did. He had the stove on with a kettle, which would boil some water soon. He would relax, and if the person so happen to come to his door for help, he'd slice their neck. Good as that.
But, can you go without killing a human for once?
Now, that was a challenge he was givin himself and he disliked that. He was competitive, and if he dared himself to do something... he would most certainly do it. Perhaps that is what got him to kill? He didn't hear another cry for help, so he wondered if they had simply... died. No, that couldn't be it. He put on his coat, put his boots back on, and he walked out. He doubt that he could actually see anyone in the blizzard, but he would at least make an attempt. He stood out there for a moment, looking in the dark air with nothing but snow beating against the ground. "Hello?" He decided to call, it was probably pointless, but he would try nonetheless. When he got no response, he wondered if he should give up. Tell himself, 'there i made an attempt' but something pushed him to go looking. So, he tightened his coat around his body and trudged through the snow which had gone up to his calves at this point.
He had come upon a lump in the snow, could this be? Upon closer examination he saw them. Laid out in the snow, seemingly passed out. He knelt down to feel their cheeks, and he could feel them breathing, but they were freezing. But one thing that caught his eye as a doctor was the leg. Their leg was twisted in such that made it obvious it was broken. They probably are going to die. You cant get them to a hospital. His logical self told him, but he dismissed that, he would certainly try. How long could he keep a human in his home without killing them? That was going to be a test. So, he lifted them up, wrapped an arm aroudn their waist, and dragged them back to his cottage.

Well, they were on the couch and they were soaking the black cushions, but he had to place them somewhere. The fire place was running, and the kettle had screamed that it was ready. What now? He hadn't killed them yet, well he didn't have the want as of yet. So, he turned the tv on to Cartoon Network, not really knowing what other people liked watching and went to make some hot coco. Which he so graciously added some spice to it, and marshmellows. When they woke up, they would be greeted with some hot chocolate. Now, he didn't know how he would present himself to the person. Should he act kind and gentle? Or should he act normal... quiet, reserved and with a little gentle heart to it? He would have to see how they reacted to first. After all, he had their leg splinted with some wood, and he'd have to put it in place, but he'd do that when they were awake. That way he could at least give them so medication to help them feel a tad bit numb.
