FINALLYYYYYYYY.
I apologize for your OCs' bloody demise.
Chapter Eighteen
No, not again. The falling. Always with the falling. Why not float? Why not fly? Because someone said so. But who? Who said so? That's no one's business. But it's my nightmare. Who? Someone beyond your capabilities. But who? No one. Arguments, back and forth, constantly babbling. Shut up. Just shut up already! Shoot me. Straight through the skull. No mercy. NO MERCY! Ludwig. Ivan. Tallulah. Arthur. No. No more. NO MORE! I cried out into the darkness.
I landed. I landed hard. A shock went up my spine and I fell to my knees. I was in some sort of field. THAT field. The one I had watched Dennis disappear into. The grama tickled my shoulders and stretched up over my head, swallowing me. I stood up and looked over the topo, início of the blades. Nothing. Dry. It was nighttime. The sky twinkled with stars and the crescent moon shone brightly, illuminating this new vestuário that was on my body. It was white. Sheer. It fluttered down to my ankles. Something else touched my ankles. Flames. Flames licked my feet. The field was on fire. Heat flushed my body. Flames engulfed me. I couldn't see anything. I screamed. I screamed for help. Help that will never come. I looked up. The sky was black. mais darkness. Does the world need more? No, this isn't the world. What is this? I don't know. Falling again.
Dennis' POV
Blood. Blood splattered on the concrete walls. Maybe even matter. I didn't want to look. It was my twin's. Or was it? I didn't want to think so. But I knew that it was.
She lay on the floor, crumpled and leaning against the mural slightly. The blood spatter, the streak of red sliding down the wall, the gun in her hand. The tears, still fresh on her cheeks, eyes covered por ruby and blonde hair.
I heard Anna fidget. “Um.. excuse me. I'll leave you alone with her...” She closed the door behind her.
I looked at Daisy. A bullet through the head. Overcome por her own insanity. Everyone would either laugh or get irritated por her. But I knew. I knew that something was going on. That she wasn't just stupid. She was unraveling. I think everyone has slowly been unraveling. Daisy, Zana... everyone. No one has been seguro from their own minds. Always in danger of something even mais horrible than a Virus. Something equally as deadly.
I started laughing. I was such an idiot! This whole time. My laughter did not stop. It became louder and louder, drowning out my thoughts. Nothing matters anymore! Nothing! mais laughter. Mad. I was mad.
“Dennis?” Ana peaked in the room.
Bad choice, Ant.
I lunged for her, pinning her down and gripping her throat. Soon she was dead. Wonderful! Now for more! More! More! mais laughing. More! I burst out of the room and ran into where everyone else was. Excellent! More!
“Dennis, what the actual-” Maxine began. I cut her off. My hands slid around her throat. Oh how much fun this was! Another dead! I heard the others begin to scream. Yes, scream! Scream as loud as you can! I laughed even louder, my vision becoming obscured. I picked up a lamp from a nearby mesa, tabela and smashed it into Alice's head. Blood! Glorious blood! It splattered on my glasses. I felt people try to restrain me. HA! mais fun! Ben and Nelly! Bye! Eheehee! Celestia, Chloe! Oh my, David! Long time no see! DIE! No matter how may things I throw, I never get out of breath! Ah, I taste it! That sweet taste of blood! I laughed even more. Laughter. mais laughter. mais and mais and more! mais laughter! mais blood! mais killing! I'm unstoppable! Oh how fun this is! How long I had craved this! Somewhere deep down, I've wanted this! It feels so good! My mind echoed my earlier thoughts. Everyone has slowly been unraveling. No one has been seguro from their own minds. Always in danger of something even mais horrible than a Virus. Something equally as deadly.
Oh how true I knew that was now! And it felt good. Relief, after so long. Another skull shattered before me.
End Dennis' POV
The flames kept growing larger. Taller and taller. No, they weren't growing. I was sinking lower. But I'm not afraid anymore. Just let me die. I don't care anymore. I closed my eyes and let myself fall.
Then I sat straight up. My whole body was covered in sweat. I was breathing hard, my throat extremely dry.
“Water...” I croaked. I crawled over to the sleeping Yao. We had made it halfway across the field. It was so large. Of course, we haven't been moving very fast. I had almost forgotten about Lovino's ankle. Apparently he had been trying to keep up with us and it had eventually given out of him. It re-broke. Just as it had started to heal. I felt sorry for him. It must hurt so much...
I dug around in Yao's backpack until I found a bottle of water. I took a few sips of it. Ah. That felt good. After I had a few mais sips and a handful of trail mix, I took a crossbow from his side. Might as well practice. We'll need to make it to the safehouse, and then there will be groups who will go out and get supplies when needed. There are large vans somewhere near it, I'm told. Enough room to fit eight people, plus a boatload of cargo. I already decided I'm going to be one of the ones who goes on that trip, so I need to be skilled with every weapon. I'm already good with a gun. Laser, machine, shotgun. You name it, I can shoot to kill. I'm also good with lassos and riding horses, but I doubt that'll come in handy. I'm good with knives. Same with grenades. I'm fairly good with a compound bow, but crossbows befuddle me. I can never hit my target. Dennis was the one who was good with crossbows...
I shook my head. I'm not going to think about him. Screw him. I trudged farther from everyone else and set up a target. An maçã, apple on a wood block. Fair enough. Walking back, I whipped around and shot the bow, only to send the Arqueiro whizzing right past the apple. Damn it. I went to retrieve the arrow.
“Practicing shooting?” Alfred asked from behind me. I was so startled, I whipped around and shot the bow. Right at Alfred.
