My stomach wasn’t the only part of me snarling to be fed when I woke up the next morning. I could feel Molly’s power across the room. She was asleep, one little fist tucked up under her chin while, dark lashes fanned out of her cheeks. Her time in India had given her skin a subtle glow, and the blond strands in her hair were wider than before. She’s so fucking adorable it makes me want to put a pillow over her face or cut her right open like a watermelon.

“Why are you doing this?” I murmur as I climb out of my bed, heading into the bathroom to take another shower and dress. “Kill her, take her power, find your father, and go. What are you doing to do with a little kid, Sylar?”

I look like I’m foaming at the mouth as I spit out the toothpaste in the sink. My eyes lock with my reflection, and I tell myself the answer. “Because I don’t kill kids. I ruined her life. I owe her.”

You’re so fucking weak, Gabriel.

“Get up.” I nudge the end of her bed, wearing a bright smile. “We need to hit the road. I’m starving.”

“I know where he is? He told me. I can take you to him.” The kid was following me around his mother’s ugly house like a yappy Christmas puppy. He was worse than Peter Puptrelli and Hiro combined. Did he honestly think I’d take him with me? I had much better ways of finding my father. All I had to do was find her. Molly Walker.

“LUKE!” She bellowed trying to get up from where I had her pinned to the sofa. On principle I try not to kill normals unless they are in my way. “You are not going with this monster.”

“I’m hurt.” I put my hand over my heart and sneered at her. “He knows you hate him. He knows you blame your entire shitty life on him coming out from between your legs. But no, he’s not coming with me. I don’t need him.”

With a flick of my wrist, Luke slammed into the wall above the fireplace, knocking a good chunk of plaster loose. Blood bubbled from his lips as he tried to breathe with one too many broken ribs. “I got jack shit coming here. I didn’t get my father. I had those assholes trying to bag and tag me. But you’ve got a shiny new power that I can’t wait to try. It’ll be great on movie night when I want some popcorn, and you’d be amazed how few motel rooms have cooking facilities.”

I made her watch while I killed him. It was cruel. It was senseless, but I was in a bad mood. When I let her go, I wanted to see if she’d run to her son’s lifeless body or for the door. She went for the door. I owed it to Luke to fry her from the inside out. It was the least I could do. “Wow just like a poodle in a microwave.”
