A/N ~ I've been doing nothing else but kicking ass on Call Of Duty Zombies for seven hours straight. Time for a break.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything.

Summary: All it takes is a little poison to taint the pure mind.

Corruption Within

.

.

.

All of their lies will soon be converted into harsh truths.

Truths that will hurt the weak minded.

I cannot afford to be weak.

With words left unspoken and actions left undone.

Revenge will take control of the life you've worked for.

The life that my loved ones have worked for.

Do you like games?

Let's play.

A game where I watch you suffer.

Perish slowly beneath my control.

Watch the Monsters eat the living flesh.

Off of your very own bones.

Let's play.

Hide and seek.

Where I hide-

-And you seek.

Come find me.

She sat in the corner of her room, blood puddles littering the wooden floor. Samantha Maxis pulled her knees tightly to her chest, rocking herself back and forth; singing dangerous nothings to her stuffed, crimson stained teddy bear clasped tightly in her hands.

"Your screams are like a sweet melody… Your blood is a beautiful colour."

Samantha giggled to herself, a menacing smile forming on her paling lips.

Small whispers echoed throughout the room, the small noise causing the girl to flinch and cower further into the corner, "Who's there…?"

'… Just a friend.'

Tears cascaded from Samantha's eyes, "We're not friends. I have no friends…"

'I'm the only one you can trust.'

'I trust no one!"

The sound of gun fire caught the girl's attention. Samantha slowly rose to her feet and approached her bedroom door, her hand lingering on the door handle.

'You mustn't leave, not yet.'

"There are people out there." She pleaded, "Maybe they can help me."

'No… They're the enemy. You must kill them.'

Samantha spun around, "Shush… I can't do that."

'You must, you must do it.'

"No. They did nothing. They aren't the ones that hurt Daddy."

'Perhaps. But they might know the people that did hurt our dearest Daddy.'

Samantha's eyes flickered, "… Daddy …"

'Call to your followers, dispose of the intruders.'

She went to retrieve her bear, "The Undead…"

'Manipulate those that have manipulated you.'

"… I will …" Samantha frowned.

'Kill those that left you alone like this.'

"… I will …"

'It is time to end this misery.'

Taking a deep breath, Samantha pressed forward, "… I will … Not."

'You must kill them.'

"No."

'You must kill them."

'Kill them.'

'Kill. Them.'

'KILL THEM!'

Samantha placed her hands over her ears, "Stop it! Stop! STOP!" She shook her head and flung her teddy bear at the wall, "Stop it! Leave me alone!"

A small silence filled the air, and Samantha slowly lowered her hands. Her eyes, vacant. Hiding all of her emotions.

'… You have been nothing but used, it is time to start being the user.'

Suppressing a smile, Samantha welcomed the voice and continued to sing, "When you fall, no one will be there to catch you."

'Like when there was no one there to catch us.'

She clapped her hands, "And when the time comes, I will rip the still beating heart out of your chest!"

'You know what you must do.'

Stopping her actions, Samantha's eyes suddenly flashed red. Any trace of the scared, little girl now completely hidden beneath a demonic façade. Bending down and gripping her teddy bear, Samantha lowered her voice and whispered to the stuffed animal.

"… Fetch me their souls."

'Ahahahaha! Bye, bye!'

And when they come for me, I shall be ready.

With my arms wide open and stretched out steady.

Come near me if you dare, I won't bite.

But I don't speak for the Monsters that come out at night.

Sing me a lullaby, for I want nothing but to sleep.

Fight away the Demons that haunt me, cause me to weep.

However you don't approach me

You seem to think that I cannot see.

Your wary expressions, I've seen the sort.

Sicken me and cause my actions to contort.

… You're not here to save me …

No.

… You're here to find some form of sanctuary …

Let me clutch your throat and feel the pulse within my hands.

And laugh at the frightened expressions on your comrades that just stare and stand.

Digging nails within your delectable flesh.

The blood oozes from the wounds I have caused, so fresh.

A dangerous smile lurks on my face.

As my tongue licks away the bitter crimson liquid I can taste.

… You're scared …

Of me?

A simple, little girl that has been.

… Corrupted Within …

A/N ~ Done. Now, back to killing Zombies.
