Chapter 7: The Hellish Cult
Alice is locked within a room as she is slowly waking up to see her hands are bind with her sitting against the wall. "Oh my head, it's ringing pretty badly," Alice thought.
She sees another girl within the room with her looking badly hurt. "Hey are you okay?" Alice asked.
The girl looks at Alice with her eyes looking very hollow and body is covered in scars with a simple dress soaked in blood and dirt. "She looks so dead," Alice thought as the door is about to be open with Alice faking sleep.
The guard comes in with his clothings covered in weird symbols. "Okay girly, up you go," the guard ordered as the girl comes with him. "You will be next," the guard said as Alice feels chills down her spine with the door closing.
"I need to think of something fast or they'll do something terrible to me," Alice said as he remembers what Artyom said. "Try to be brave, I'll try," Alice thought as she hears screams of a girl outside.
She plans a way of getting out for the door swings open with the guard coming back. "Okay missy time to come with me," the guard ordered as Alice steels herself for she knees the guard in the balls
"These guys must be the Satanist Cult," Alice thought as she grabs the Makarov pistol and hits him with it hard in the back of the head knocking him out.
"Okay time to find the keys," she thought to find a small key from the man's pocket and unlock her binds. She grabs the rest of the magazines for her new pistol to escape out of the room. She closes the door for she goes behind a crate to see guards coming in wielding AKM rifles.
"I better hide," she goes into the crate hearing the guards talking. "Man, the guys are having a ton of fun with those little girls," he said.
"Yeah, they seem best when they bet for their lives," the other guy said.
"I really don't want to know what happened with the girl," she thought for they pass by. She gets out of the crate to sneak away to enter into a room where the smell is overwhelming her senses.
"What is that smell?" she thought as she goes further into the room curious about the smell. She goes into the corner to be horrified by the sight. "Oh my god," she said as she sees a pile of body parts and tendrils in buckets with Alice vomiting onto the floor.
"This is terrible," Alice said as she sees a piece of breast meat on top of one of the buckets.
Alice pulls herself away to continue through the station to go behind cover to see a lone guard blocking the hallway.
"Okay I have to get rid of him," she thought for she knocks on the wall to catch his attention. The guard noticed the sound and goes to check it out.
"What the hell is that?" the guard goes towards the sound with Alice getting into a box.
He comes by as she draws out a bayonet knife she gotten from the fallen guard. She jumps onto the man's back and swiftly stabs his throat silencing him. She drags the body back into the box to hide from sight. She finds a silencer for her pistol and puts it on her Makarov with her grabbing some more ammo for her pistol.
She enters into a large chamber where the smell of blood hits her again with full force. "This only means bad news," she thought to see a bunch of tables covered in blood and bits of flesh.
"Please don't do this to me please," a girl's voice echoed throughout the room but she can clearly see no one is there. Suddenly she sees shadows nearby the tables to see images of a man and a girl.
"You look so nice; your pussy looks so good. Virgin is always nicer than spoiled ones," the man said with his voice filled with delight as Alice's body is shaken by the tone of the voice.
"Please I'm too young," the girl begged as the man has a creepy laugh.
"All the more thankful to plunder this bounty," the man is about to rape the little girl.
"Noooo!" the girl screamed as the shadows ended with Alice getting out of the room quickly with her senses exploding with fright and her heart beating quite fast.
She sees more guards in the room as she tosses a piece of wood at a box causing a guard to come her way. She pops up and puts a bullet through his head. The body drops for the sound of it falling alerts the two other guards for Alice takes clean headshots to put them down.
She goes up to them to check for more ammo. "Okay I have 5 magazines for the PMM, better make them count," she thought as she moves forward deeper into the hellish cult station.
She reaches a large warehouse area where a bunch of guys are guarding armed with AKMs, RPDs and Bastards. "Got to take it nice and slow," Alice crouches down and sneaks through the area.
She gets behind a crate with two men walking by. "Those priests are really getting crazy with these virgin girls," the guard said.
"Yeah they like them nice and tender. Some for the rituals and some for us," the other said.
"These Devil guys are creepy," she thought as she continues to sneak trying to not make any noise.
She goes up to the door and slowly opens it to go forward. Within the station a guard goes into the room to see a dead body lying on the ground. "What the fuck?" he thought.
"We got a rat in the station," the guard said on the radio.
Alice enters into another room to hear the guards moving in a rushed pace. "Find the rat," the guard said as Alice's heart is beating pretty fast.
"Crap, they found out," Alice blocks the door with a board for her to move onwards.
She gets behind a crate to see two guards wielding Bastard carbines trying to find Alice. "We need to find this bitch or this all goes to hell," the man said as Alice tosses a piece of debris at the wall to distract them.
"Check it out," the guard said as the second one goes into the corner with the first one able to see him.
Alice sneaks behind the guard and shoots him in the head with the first guard noticing a noise in the corner. "Did you find something?" he asked as Alice gets under a desk concealing her presence.
"What the fuck?" the guard sees Alice for she shoots a bullet through his head.
"Thanks Dad," she thought as she grabs one of the Bastard carbines to sling it on her back along with some magazines.
She goes through the tunnels to hop into a crate with guards going by. "Quickly we need to find her," the guards shouted.
"They are closing in," Alice thought as they go into another room for the guards to notice her.
"There she is," a guard said as she readies her carbine for the incoming guards are coming through the door. She sends out a blaze of bullets to cut down the guards piling up near the door.
She reloads her gun but it starts to fall apart on her. "No not now," Alice thought as her Bastard failed for she draws out her pistol instead.
"You little bitch," more guards came in with her popping bullets into their chests dropping them dead.
She tries to reload but a guard knocks a crate at her to lose her balance and drop her gun for she gets pinned down by one of the Satanists.
"We got her and she still looking nice," he said leering at Alice's body with her red hair disheveled, her body covered with blue overalls with a green shirt under it. "Wonder what you have under those," the man said with lustful delight.
"Oh no, I'm going to get rape. It can't end like this," Alice said as the man is too strong for her to get out of his grip. Another guy unbuttons her overalls and pulls up her shirt.
"Nice little breasts she has," the man licks his lips to see small bust in a blue bra.
"No please anything but this," Alice begged with her shedding tears with her bravery draining away with her body at the mercy of these vile men.
"Don't worry, we'll go nice and easy on you as we take turns," the men begin to pull down their pants as the end is near and hope for her is slowing fading away.
"This is the end, I'm sorry uncle. I can't make it," Alice said yielding to her fate with no energy to fight back.
Suddenly a burst of gunfire tears through the men for they are fallen down onto the floor with a man appearing in the room armed with an AKM with a laser sight and PK-AS Holo Sight on it. "Are you okay?" the man asked.
"Yes, who are you?" she asked as she feels at ease with this older man.
"My name is Khan and I'm on a mission to find a boy kidnapped from Salvation," he said.
"Your Artyom's friend," Alice said to fix herself up buttoning her overalls.
"You know Artyom?" he asked.
"Yes he was helping me get back to the Salvation station where my uncle runs," Alice said.
"Small world, if you can fight you can help me locate the boy," Khan said as he gives the small teenager a hand.
"Yes I can," Alice said to grab her silenced Makarov as hope returns back into her being with the duo going deeper into the station. "Oh by the way, the name is Alice," she said.
"Good to know, thank goodness I managed to reach you. I can't imagine what would have happened," Khan said.
"I don't want to think about it," Alice said feeling throwing up from the mention of the vile attempt.
"So how is Artyom?" Khan asked wanting to change the subject.
"He's okay, he seems pretty nice," Alice said.
"Good I haven't seen him since the Battle of D6 when we fought against the Reds," Khan said.
"That must be crazy," Alice said.
"Yeah it was but we managed," Khan and Alice find an Armory where the Satanist keep their weapons and ammo. "Okay time to stock up on some ammo," Khan said as he grabs magazines for his AKM and Alice taking the Bizon SMG.
"I'm ready," Alice said as Khan grabs some explosives just in case.
"Alright, we need to find the child and get out of here," Khan said as they go down on the hallway. They go up to a door with demonic symbols on it, "This feels very dark. Keep close."
Alice nods her head with Khan kicking open the door with the little teenager behind him. There are symbols marked across the walls with Alice having an unnerved feeling building up in her chest.
"Something is here," she thought as they see a bunch of tables covered in dried blood and bits of human flesh.
"These must be rooms where these sick men do unspeakable things to young girls," Khan said giving a silent prayer to the girls who lost their lives to these monsters.
Then suddenly flashes of memoires overwhelm Alice with girls around her age strapped to the tables with the men leering at them with lustful intent.
"Please let me go," a girl said as crazy devilish laughs echoes throughout the room.
"Before the priest can have you, we can have our little fun too," the man said as the room is shrouded in a blood soaked screamed.
"Alice, come back to me," Khan snaps Alice out of her misty daze.
"What happened to me?" she asked.
"It was as if you were looking back into the past," Khan said. "Be careful or this place can drag you into a very bleak abyss," he warned her.
"Of course," Alice said as they move into the door but suddenly they hear guards coming their way. "Time to hide," Alice said as both go behind some boxes with three guards coming through the door armed with AK rifles.
"We need to find this little chick, she is becoming a pest. The guys who found her haven't reported back yet," the guard said.
Alice draws out her pistol and pops them in the head. "Nice shots," he said.
"My dad taught me how to shoot," she said.
"He must be proud to know you survived this long," Khan said.
"Yeah he would," Alice said with a look of sadness on her young face.
"I assure he is not on earth anymore?" he asked as she nods her head. "I am sorry for your loss, the Metro is a harsh place," he said.
"Yeah, come on. We have to find your missing child," Alice goes off.
"Quite the trooper is she," Khan thought as he covers her back for they go back outside to behind cover to see guards passing by turning a corner. "The place where the children are being held is just up ahead," he said as they go through the door to see a massive amount of cages filled with kinds ranging from 4 to 17 year olds.
"This is terrible," Alice thought as she grips her Bizon tightly to see three guards with AKMs paroling the area.
"Okay, we should take them out silently," Khan pull out a suppressor to put on his AKM with Alice drawing out her pistol.
They go through the area picking off lone targets one by one with Alice going behind an empty cage to shoot the last guard leaving the area cleared. "Okay time to find our missing boy," Alice said to go though the cages to see kids begging for them to help them. "Should we help them?" she asked.
"If we let them go, they are good as dead either by the Satanists or the Mutants outside," Khan said as they continue. With Alice wishing she can help but has to move on.
They manage to find the boy's cage to see he is dead with scars littered across his body with a large bloody gaping hole in his skull. "We are too late," Khan said giving the boy a small pray.
"I'm sorry," Alice said sounding sadden by this.
"It's okay, I have to tell the boy's father when we go back," Khan said as they begin to go towards the exit gates.
They sneak through the hallways to see several guards protecting the large metal gate. Khan tosses a grenade for the blast takes out a group of them for they fire back for Khan and Alice split up between cover.
Khan puts a sticky grenade on a barrel to kick it across the area to go towards another group of guards for they blow up into a pile of body parts.
"More guards will come. Now is our chance to run," Khan said as Alice opens the gate for Khan sets the high explosives on the doorway.
"They are there, get them," Satanists fire their weapons with the duo gaining a certain distance with Khan holding a trigger.
"Here goes nothing," Khan presses the button for the explosive the doorway apart to a cave in blocking off the exit. "Well that worked flawlessly, we should head back to Salvation and meet with your Uncle," Khan said.
"What about Artyom and the others?" she asked feeling worried about them.
"I have feeling we'll meet with them at the station. If anything, they would drop there to tell your uncle the bad news at least," Khan said as they both go into the tunnels.
"Please Artyom, everyone I'm okay I'll see you at my Uncle's station," Alice thought as they continue through the tunnels getting ever closer to Salvation.
