Set Fire To The Rain – A Host Fanfiction
KYLE
It stared back at me, tembling. "You worthless worm!" I screeched, raking my nails down its face. "How could you! How dare you set foot here! You're nothing but a parasite! A worthless, blood thirsty parasite! You deserve to die… You DESERVE TO DIE!" My voice echoed down the corridors, my nostrils flaring with rage. I winded back my fist, ready to punch the pulp out of its wretched face. It screamed and cried, a mixture of blood, sweat, and tears running down its face.
I did a good number on it. It lay there motionless, curled in on itself. Lifeless, dead. Just the way it was supposed to be. I heard footsteps. Fast ones, rushing down the stone tunnels. I quickly picked up and ran, hiding in the storage area behind boxes of preserved food and water bottles.
A figure made its way over to the monster, letting out a loud sob. It was heart wrenching to listen to. I almost felt bad for them.
"No… no… no…" The person kneeled down next to the parasite, caressing its face, holding its bloody hands in his. "Wanda… My Wanderer…"
I froze, my face running cold. What did he just say? I peered around the wall. He was leaning over the body, the sound of tears pattering the stone floor. Was this… Ian?
The sobs grew louder and more intense. "You… Can't… Leave…. Me….." He was breaking down in tears. "Not…. Again…." He whispered, his voice cracking.
"Hey! What's going on down there!" Jeb rushed down the hall. "Oh, no…" Ian bit his lip, holding back a scream.
"She's dead! She's… she's…. Somebody killed her! Wanda…. No…. No…. NO!" He kept groping at its face, its hands. "Wanderer…" He kissed its cold lifeless lips, tears pouring down onto her face from his eyes. "I love you with all my heart…"
I stared at my hands, cracked and bloodied. But it wasn't my blood….
What had I just done?
