Shattered Silence: Part 2

I assume no ownership over any Konami characters.

I do, however, assume ownership over the characters that I have made up

Well, what can I say? I said I wouldn't write the next part until I got reviews, but I have grown impatient. Writing is my passion and I seldom like to leave my characters in peril for to long. I know, I know, it's only been one day but I couldn't resist. Anyway, don't read this if you haven't read part one, because I do no recapping whatsoever. Enjoy...

Joey looked down the nightmare of a creature's mouth at the rows of blood stained teeth. He would have wondered who this creature's last victim was, were there not the danger of him becoming the creature's next. He was determined to not let this thing kill him. He would get out alive. He would live.

"Get off me you son of a bitch!" Joey yelled as he kicked the creature off him. The monster dog lay sprawled on the floor, squirming. Joey stomped down on its head with a passion, and continued to taunt the monster.

"Yea! How ya like that you gory, squirmy, dog, piece of crap! I'll kick your ass half way across this mall if you try doing that again!"

He continued to stomp down on the creature until it ceased in its movements. A pool of blood began to form on the elevator ground. The elevator doors creaked open to reveal the shopping center's 2nd floor. The mall looked just as it had always, but it felt very different. It seemed completely devoid of any human life. The silence caused the hair on Joey's neck to rise. He tuned and ran to the left, towards the Hunting Depot. He would need that shotgun now more than ever if there were more of those things.

Joey walked through the shop entrance, now staggering and winded. He had run across half the mall to get to the Hunting Depot. As he sat there, he began to reason with himself. Maybe this was all some clever, reality show prank. He began to pace the floor when he noticed his left shoe was sticking a little to the ground as he walked. He lifted the shoe so he could see what was on it.

Blood, from that...that thing. Joey thought. Maybe If I get a closer look at it I can tell if it's fake. It would be silly to be running run a simple trick that someone's playing on me.

He took the shoe and felt the contents of the "blood". It was red. But most fake blood was red anyway. The liquid felt sticky to the touch. But this could also be another sign of fake blood. He defiantly wasn't going to taste it. If it was fake it was probably toxic. And if it was real...well Joey did not want to think of what would happen then. There was only one final test to do. Joey sniffed the bottom of the shoe. It was only a faint smell. The kind of smell that feels like heat inside your nose. This confirmed Joey's fears. He had been hunting many times, and because of that, he knew the smell of blood well. It looked like he would need that shotgun after all.

Joey began to search around the guns in the store with his eyes when he spotted what he needed on the counter. The shotgun lay there with a key sitting next to it. It was then that he had a horrible thought. What if Mark had been attacked by one of those creatures? Mark was unarmed, and would be taken by surprise if one of those things tried to kill him. Knowing his best friend might be dead, Joey felt a sense of duty to find him and any others in the mall. He walked up to the counter and put the shotgun on his back by use of the shoulder strap that came with it. He then picked up the key and read the writing on it.

"Cabinet 5" Joey read aloud to himself. He then walked over to the cabinet and opened it with the key. Inside were rows upon rows of ammo clips for the shotgun, as well as a note. He began to read the note to himself.

Dear Joey,

Hey! Sorry I couldn't be here when you got the shotgun. I had to go home early to take care of something. Anyway, take as much ammo as you want so long as you pay me back. I might even be able to get you a discount, but you'll owe me. See you later

Mark

Good. Mark's safe. thought Joey

He then proceeded to take as many clips as he could put in his backpack. He would need to be ready if there were more monsters. He also thought that Mark would not mind, considering the fact that this was an emergency. Joey then grabbed a portable map of the place, and set off into the mall, in search of others who might need his help...

Ladies and gentlemen, that was part 2. I hope that you enjoyed this feature as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please review as I have yet to know if anybody is reading this. I would hate to write a series that just takes up space on Fan Fiction. Net while nobody reads it. All of your input id much appreciated. Thank you
