Hope you all enjoyed the last chapter! It was short... sorry about that. Anyways, I hope to make this one longer! Please enjoy! I own nothing but my OC's!
Kain Fuery looked at Jean Havoc and Haymans Breda nervously, his face pale as they looked at the dead body of a little girl on the street. Blood oozed from the back of her skull where it had smashed when she was thrown to the ground. Well, that's what they assumed anyway. Jean cringed as he looked at her fearful face, blood covered blonde hair, and glazed pink eyes of the innocent eight year old. Riza's niece. Haymans looked away, unable to see the child on the ground in front of him, dead. Kain silently let tears slide down his face. Who would have done that?
"Poor child." Jean murmured, carefully closing the girls eyes.
"Poor Mindie." Haymans agreed, looking carefully at the bloody footprints of a man, bare, slim feet.
Kain couldn't stand it anymore and knelt beside the child, his child, holding her close. "Mindie... baby girl... why? Why? Mindie!"
Jean winced to hear the pain in Kain's voice, the strain to hold himself together, the torture that somebody would do that to his child. Carefully Haymans looked at Jean and saw that he had tears shimmering in his eyes.
"Who's going to tell Kimmy the news?" Haymans asked, making Kain flinch at the sound of his wife's name.
"She's going to be a total wreck." Jean replied.
Kain looked up at the other two with dull eyes. "I will. She needs to hear this from me."
The other two slowly nodded and helped Kain put Mindie down and get him to his feet. Smiling at the other two he walked toward this house a few blocks away where his wife, Kimmy was waiting on the front porch. Kimmy's mid-back length blonde hair was in a braid and hanging limply over her left shoulder, her pink eyes were dancing as she saw him walking down the street toward her. She ran off of the porch and glomped him, giggling like a child.
"Kimmy... can we sit down?" Kain asked.
"Sure!" Kimmy nodded with a hyper bounce. They went over to the porch and sat down the steps where Kimmy snuggled into Kain's side. "What's wrong?"
Kain sighed and pulled Kimmy closer. "Mindie... she's de...dead. Murdered."
Kimmy gasped. "What? Where's my baby girl? Who would do such a thing?"
Sobs shook her body and she clung to him with all her strength, he let the tears flow down his face and buried his face in her hair. He looked down the street and saw a man running bare foot into the forest beside the Mustang's house, blood staining his clothes and smudging his face. Following after the man was a teenage girl, her mid-back length black hair bouncing as she chased him.
"Kimmy... I'll be back soon. I have to go check something out." Kain murmured, getting to his feet. "Why don't you go visit Gracia and Elysia?"
Kimmy nodded and went into the house to get her things while Kain ran down the road to follow the two that had just run into the forest. Once in the forest he stopped to catch his breath, looking around to find the two. He saw the girl's back as she walked ahead into the trees.
"Hey, wait!" Kain called, making her stop and turn to look at him.
She had a smirk on her face, her black hair messed up, and her black eyes scared him. Her pupils were small, her eyes wild, crazy, daring anybody to touch her. A killers eyes... or a victims. Blood was smeared on one of her cheeks and she looked at him, her eyes sizing up her threat. Her neck was scarred, like she had scratched at it too much. Kain raised his hands slightly and took a step back to show that he was no threat. She looked at him one final time and turned around to leave. He followed slowly, keeping his distance.
"Wait, who are you?" Kain questioned.
"They call me... the Alone Child!" she replied, quirking a slender eyebrow. "Why?"
"N-no reason..." Kain smiled nervously.
She kept walking forward, leading him deeper into the forest. Every once in a while she would look back at him and her eyes would be sympathetic as she saw his tear streaked face. Suddenly she stopped abruptly and turned to him, her eyes crazed, like she had seen something she wasn't supposed to.
"I tried to warn her, you know." the girl murmured. "Tired to save her. But it was too late... he had seen her. I'm sorry."
"Tried to warn who? Save her from what? Who had seen her?" Kain asked frantically.
"Mindie... I tried, trust me! Please, don't pry! I can't tell you, but I can give you hints! Me and everyone else they had killed, we'll help you!" the girl quietly cried out. "All twelve of us!"
Another girl, her knee length blonde hair in a ponytail waving slightly and her reddish brown eyes glimmering wandered out of the bushes and nodded slightly to him before looking sharply at the other girl. "What if the others don't agree with this plan? Huh? Tell me that, Tina!"
The one named Tina glared at her friend. "They will, Chance, and don't you deny it! You know they will!"
Chance grinned. "I know. I'm just giving you a hard time. Where are the others? I haven't seen them for about ten minutes. They ran off and I haven't seen them since."
Tina shrugged before motioning Kain to follow her deeper into the woods and he followed noiselessly, following the two teenage girls. After about ten minutes of walking they both stopped and Kain mirrored their actions, skidding to a halt behind them and looking over their shoulder. His eyes widened as he saw pools of blood, drag marks and droplets of blood where someone would have coughed up blood. There was so much blood that he didn't believe it came from one person. Tina looked tensely at the scene in front of them and Chance looked away in disgust.
"This is where I died." Tina whispered. "The others were already dead when they threw eleven bodies in front of me... my friends and family... gone."
Chance nodded slowly. "So now we're all trapped here forever. We're stuck here, dwelling on our mistake to come to this stupid forest."
Kain's gaze flicked from one girl to the other. "How long were you stuck here before they killed you?"
Tina shrugged. "About five days at the most. We ran from them that whole time."
Chance suddenly gasped. "Kain, hide! They're coming! If they see you they'll kill you too!"
Kain ducked into a hollowed out tree and the girls pulled some bushes in front of the hole to hide him better. He heard many voices, two female and the rest male as people past. One of the men that walked right beside the bush had blood covered bare feet. Suddenly a bigger guy stopped and sniffed the air.
"There's someone here." he growled. "Can I eat him?"
Tina and Chance gasped and Kain tensed as the rest stopped. Suddenly both girls were in the tree with him, hugging him.
"Don't move a muscle!" Chance whispered.
