The End Of The World As We Know It
Chapter 9: World Is Darker Part 1
The rain fell hard on Hevan City, like the Precusors themselves were crying for the dead bodies driving past me right now. Black umberellas and black cloaks covered everyone's faces as the rain came down harder, crying and soft hymns from Slummers came from all around me. First the bodies of the fallen soilders went by, then bodies of the rich, then middle class and then slummers. I turned my head when I heard a little girl tug on her mom's cloak and ask:
"Mommy, why isn't daddy here to see Aunt Marj go by?"
"I'll tell you later, my dear." I flipped my hood over my face and looked down, Praxis sat on his high chair less then bored with dead passing him by. I looked beside me to see Holly holding Mama's Boy's hand tight, she must have know most of them. The pain, saddness and fear in her face was hard. I could see tears starting to well up in her eyes, and pour down her face along with the rain.
CodeX stood behind her, holding un umberella above her head. He said nothing to no one, not even Erol. I turned and looked back at Erol, he didn't look hurt or filled with pain. I placed my hands on my heart and closed my eyes...
'Undine can you see all of this?'
There was a sigh. 'Yes, my dear... I can.'
'I wish war wouldn't happen.'
'I agree, it's been a long time since I've seen so many sad faces. How many do you think are dead?'
"Too many..." I said out loud as more cries started up, bodies of Slummers started to come by. I was about to barf! How dare Praxis not put the bodies in caskets or cover them with sheets, childern's eyes blank as day stared into my very soul.
"Cynder," Erol spoke into my ear, I didn't turn or even jump. He wrapped his arms around my wasit and placed his head on my shoulders. "If you faint, which you will after you see all the bodies, I'll carry you."
"Thank you, but I don't need to be-" I stopped. I saw a young girl run out to the middle of the street, she grabbed a dead body's hand and held it tight. It was a women with long black hair, her face was sliced up and burned. Blood, dirt and mood was building up on her face as the little girl pulled her body off the weagon pulled them all. The girl started to scream and hug her mom, I leaned back on Erol's chest for a second.
She didn't even notice that her mom was dead, her body was cut up pretty bad. One of her legs were missing, and the base was starting to turn green and rotting away. I dropped my hands from my chest and gripped Erol's hands, my heart was racing too fast and I was going to faint!
"Mommy! Mommy!! Can you hear me! Mommy!!" A KG tore the child away from mother and left the body in the street, I watched as the young was thrown back into the crowd.
Cynder's head fell back on to Erol's shoulder, he knew after what happened with the little girl and her mother; she would pass out. He shifted her weight before lifting her off the ground and holding her like a child, Holly looked back but didn't sat anything. He nodded to the group and they started away from the sences, passing many crying people they finally made their way to a new Hellcat.
CodeX drove the Hellcat instead of Erol, he held Cynder close her face pale. Holly was the first out, she didn't even turn when the males said bye to her. Instead pulled Mama's Boy along to the bar, and slammed the door shut.
"She upset because your mother is dead."
"I know." Erol growled, there was about an hour of silence in which the group came to their new home; very close to the palace. Erol laid Cynder down in her new bed, the curtains were closed and there was a camera in the corner. He flipped off the person behind it and covered it with a cloth, he wasn't about to let Ty and his men spy on Cynder.
He opened the curtains and saw, about a mile away the Barzaar. He smirked, if she ran away he would be able to find her easily because she would have to go through the Barzaar. He looked around the room again, searching every corner. He found six carmeas or voice recorder, he growled yanking them out of the wall and stomping down the hallway where Dexter and CodeX were sitting.
"Check you rooms, there's cameras everywhere."
"Ty, right?" CodeX coughed, Erol nodded. "Sneaky bastard."
"523," Erol read off the newspaper, I sat on the other side of the table poking at my grape furit. Personally I didn't know CodeX could cook, but he made an amazing breakfest for the guys but looked so hurt when I told him I only wanted a grape furit. "Dead after Metal Head Attack."
"You can't put a number on those who are dead." I whispered. Erol laughed.
"Listen to this, 'Baron Praxis says "I send 50 pounds of Dark Eco supply to those families that had a family member in the KG, and that family member is dead." When we asked about the Slummers, he said: "Slummers? They get nothin', they choose the life style they are in right now but if they are looking for work I'm pretty sure the Seevens or Jess' might have work for them." He laughed. "But anyways, I am too busy looking after the..." Erol started to slow down, fear and anger coming into his face. His face went red and he stood.
"What is it?" CodeX called from the kicthen.
"Blue Eco Project II and Dark Warrior Project, to care about the Slummers of Hevan City!" Erol whipped the newspaper to the floor, he punched the table as CodeX ran in.
"Did he really say that?"
"It's in there, in black and white!" Erol shouted, he looked to me. "The serect of the Blue Eco Project is out..." CodeX picked up the newspaper, and pointed to the picture.
"They even have a picture of you two, damn." Dexter left the room as Erol read out loud the words under the picture.
"Seen at the Funeral, Commander Erol of the Krizmon Graud and Lieutenant Cynder Seeven (listed as missing), watching as the body of a mother is tossed to the side."
I covered my mouth as Erol and CodeX swore, what was Praxis thinking? Hey wait, what was the serect anyways?
"But why do I have to be a serect?" CodeX sighed.
"Before you there was a girl who became a Project, no one knews her name but she was soon killed because both sides wanted her. After that, the KG and Underground both agreed never to make another Project like her or anyone esle again. But he just told everyone we have two!!" I swallowed.
"CodeX, listen to this, "Written by I.M.A Nerd, I fear for the childern of Hevan City, Praxis seems to talk about his projects alot but with seeing pictures of this young lady and 'Dark Warrior', I think the Underground should take serious actions. These projects brought the Metal Heads!!"
"I did not!" I shouted.
"Shh, Cynder." Erol growled. "The first Project only brought anger, fear and hate to this city... making it not one any more now two. We have to destory these projects, and now!" I looked down, Erol sighed.
"They're basically saying that Cynder was the reason for the attack on the city," CodeX growled.
"She wasn't. She helped." Erol growled, there was a knock on the door and everyone looked paniced. The knock got louder.
"Erol open this damn door now, before I kill you!" Everyone sighed.
"Holly, don't do that." Erol growled as CodeX followed by Holly and Mama's Boy walked in, Mama's Boy ran to me and jumped on my lap. I smiled and handed him the grape fuirt, he really did enjoy it.
"Sorry," Holly snickered. "But you have you read the paper? They basically saying that-"
"Yah, we know." Erol growled, he rumbed his temples. "Now what? She can't go outside and or be seen by anyone."
"She is standing right here." I spoke up, they all turned to me and I wrinkled my nose. Erol sighed a, loud, annoyed sigh.
"We'll call Praxis at lunch, in the mean time Cynder stay away from all-"
"Dex," Holly's voice sound scared and full of fear. "What are you doing with that knife?" Dexter walked past CodeX and Holly, he looked to Erol before moving toward me.
"Dexter!" Erol shouted.
"You killed my mother." He said pointing the knife at me, I got out of the chair still holding onto Mama's Boy. My heart was starting to race, what was he doing?! "You killed Beta, the only girl that loved me." He stabbed the chair, I screamed and backed up right to the wall. Damn it. He raised the knife high before stabbing it into the wall beside my head, I dropped Mama's Boy on his but. From his mouth a loud cry came out, I gripped Dexter's arm.
My soul getting angry, wanting blood for everything I've seen. I felt my stomach turn, and the hair on the back of my neck start to stand on end. I gripped harder, Dexter tried to pulled the knife out of the wall and stab me but it didn't work. I gripped harder.
Erol grabbed my waist and yanked me away from him, Dexter dropped to the floor crying over what he just did. Mama's Boy ran to me holding my hand as Holly spoke softly to Dex, I gripped the hands around my waist harder and harder. I only wanted one thing! One thing!
"Um, Cynder... that's hurting my hands."
"Good." I whispered to myself before he let me go, I jumped back lifting Mama's Boy into my arms. I glared at Erol, and then the group on the floor. I held Mama's Boy tighter. "I can't take this any more!"
Tears started to come down, Erol stepped to me. "Cynder what are you talking about?" More warm saltly tears.
"I mean I quit!!"
"What you can't quit!" I held Mama's Boy tighter.
"Watch me." I said as Blue Eco came around me, I entered a tunnel of Blue Eco and didn't even say good bye.
TBC...
