"Don't resist. It's no use". Even through the spasms of pain that racked his body and sent his brain into overdrive, Levi could all to clearly make out the cruel intent in those words. He was sure that he knew what cruelty sounded like, having grown up on the slums-dealing with pushers, criminals, and low lifes of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds. But this time was different. Much different. In those 5 word alone, Levi could clearly make out the pure malicious intent enhanced by the sadistic glee that the speaker held, and in a voice as smooth as water. As though she'd played this game a thousand times for God only knew how many years, and had yet to lose. His eyes were glassy, and slightly wide with fear for himself and his two friends. What was supposed to be the simple break in to rob a girl of the money she had from taking expensive jewelry to the pawn shop, spiraled into a nightmare that none of them saw coming.
Isabel was the first one to be hurt, as she was the first one to rush inside the room. Backhanded by what first appeared to be an 18 year old girl sitting in a chair and dozing off to sleep, she was knocked to the ground as the girl quickly sprang up from her seat and placed both of her feet on Isabel's arms, pinning her face onto the floor and crouching down so that she was at eye level with Isable's head. Before either Levi or Farlan could move to help her, the girl let out a shriek that was high in pitch, but ended with a growl that was too primal and animalistic to belong to any human. So much so, that it froze the two of them in place as the girl proceeded to grab Isabel by her scalp, and lift her head up to face Levi and Farlan. Green eyes that used to be vibrant and shine like real emeralds were now wide with fear, panic, and unspoken cry for help that both men were powerless to answer.
"...Farlan...big bro- help m-" She never got a chance to finish her sentence before her face was smashed into the splintery, hardwood floor beneath her, a quick, but clearly audible crack filling the small room. When Isabel's head was lifted back up again, a thick river of blood poured from her now broken nose while a cut had been made on her forehead, making a new trail of blood seep down the right side of her face- a sight that made Levi's heart free fall into his stomach while Farlan's blood turned to ice in his veins- both of their eyes wide with pain of their own. They only got to see Isabel's bloodied face one more time before it was smashed into the ground a dozen more times. The blood stain beneath her grew wider, and the squelching noise of blood and flesh grew louder with each collision until the last sound that Isabel could make was a hollow groan of pain that slowly died own into silence. The girl, still on top of her released her grip of Isabel's head with a mocking sort of tenderness as if she were petting the fur on an animal.
This sent Farlan flying into a rage much faster than Levi, his fearful stupor now broken as she charged at the girl, his knife withdrawn from his back pocket and ready to stab her with everything he had. But the girl moved faster and grabbed his wrist, twisting it to the point where he dropped the knife before breaking it completely, another sickening crack mingling with Farlan's screams of agony. But not once did the girl move from where she was perched on top of Isabel's body. Rather, she waited until Farlan collapsed onto his knees, putting him at eye level with her and not giving him a second to react before his own knife was plunged into his open mouth, slicing his uvula and tonsils. He let out a few pained chokes and coughs as blood filled his throat and freely flowed from his mouth until he too joined Isabel on the ground. Now it was Levi's turn to fly into a blind rage, tackling the girl onto her back, pinning her to the ground and punching her in the face with repeated blows that would've left anyone else a mess with missing teeth and a broken nose, but all Levi saw were eyes that shifted from doe like and brown to yellow with cat like slits for pupils.
Before he had even a second to react, another high pitched shriek assaulted his ears before he was met with an explosion of pain in his shoulder where the girl had her teeth embedded in his skin. Just touching the surface of his bone, and ripping away a good chunk of his flesh before bringing her knee up to his groin, pulling away and situating herself in the corner of the room to sample her treat. Levi now fell onto his own back a good few feet away from where Farlan and Isabel were, screaming and cursing bloody murder as he pressed his hand into his wound in a pained attempt to stop the bleeding. All of this while he thrashed around like an animal in a trap.
Yet even with the threat of a painful death looming over him, the sight of his friend's bodies on the ground at her mercy, yet so close to him, gave Levi the mental push he needed to military crawl towards them- using his right hand to briefly pull out a piece of splinter wood that embedded itself in his left one With his strength waning fast, Levi used what little he had left to push himself forward, now running on sheer adrenaline as his heartbeat sounded in his ears.
"...Farlan...Isabel…" he croaked out, voice hoarse from his screams prior to his current position. From her corner of the confined one room space, she finished her treat and watched him crawl towards them, slightly wriggling around and shaking like an earthworm after a rainstorm. But instead of water, he was covered in blood and sweat, making his clothes cling to his clearly muscular frame. Too bad his strength wouldn't and couldn't help him here. Still, she'd be lying if she said that she didn't find his, no, all of their attempts amusing. Others before them had tried their hardest too, but their loss was always her gain.
Just to add insult to literal injury, she stood to her full height and before Levi could reach out and touch Isabel once he was close enough, the girl punched onto her back with an animalistic speed and posture that made Levi let out a noise that was cross between an angry shout and a pained groan. While he cursed himself not to do it, knowing what waited for him, Levi looked at right up at her. His cobalt blue eyes that were furrowed in pain and terror were met with yellow cat like ones, that looked back down at him with faint look of disdain before two of her fingers were plunged right into his eye sockets, pulling the white orbs clean out of his head and letting him join his friends on the ground like he was nothing. Less than nothing; not even a person.
Just a human shaped lump of meat to be ripped apart and consumed. And she wasn't too far off the mark. Living the life of an underground thug and criminal had made Levi hard but accustomed to the cruelties of the world. But nothing, not even the abuse from his drunken uncle could have prepared him for the cruelties that this girl- no,this thing brought down on them in how ever much time had passed. Minutes? Hours? Who could say for sure? But it hardly mattered now. Her words had made that clear enough. Without an escape to run to or a God to put a last prayer to, the tables had turned on the so called predators that were the thug trio in the face of pure, unrelenting evil.
