Joy and Death
Chapter 10
A.N.: Hey everyone. Just wanna say, I don't own Slendy. Or his bros. I Wish. Now, on to the story, and I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Viola stared in awe at the Slenderman, who had just teleported behind a would be victim. The fool looked, when he could have been spared. Now, the horrified man had been dragging a trail of blood behind him. His legs where a few paces behind him, forcefully removed and held up by Slender himself. As if on cue, Slender looked over to Viola. "You already repaid us. When you blocked all the explosives, you helped ensure our safety." Viola recalled the unease the brother felts when the tank had fired at them. She snapped out of her thoughts, hearing screams in the distance, shrieks from the woods. The other brothers had chased the men and women into the woods. The smell of enflamed vehicles and a charred tank, the feel of flame in the air. Nothing different from when she warred with the world earlier. She felt a slight bump in her head, then a presence come to stand by her side. "May I ask what you are thinking about?" Slender's voice had lost its bladed edge. Now he eyed Viola with curiosity and a slight concern.
"I'm merely thinking about how this reminded me of when I went to war against the world." A hand rested on my shoulder. "And?" he questioned. "The sights... the smells… are comparable." Slender and I listened to the snap of fire and watched the flames dance. More screams in the distance, some abruptly cut off, while others screamed louder. The man who had his legs removed had managed to get to the forest line. I turned a grim smile to the man. Slender, I noticed, just watched me. His head tilted to the side and out of the corner of my eyes I could see he had crossed his arms, tilted back and forth on his feet lighty. He was waiting to see what I would do. As I neared the man, I saw his gaze. It met mine. I did not break that gaze, I held his eyes until they broke. Even as that man, laid there dying, I could pick up something more from him. Aye, he feared me. But he also was in awe. I passed over the trail of blood he had left on the cold earth, and he coughed out "You shouldn't come near, your majesty. You will become bloody." I felt like laughing. So I did. This caused him to look at me strangely. "I already have much blood on my hands, a little more matters little." The man weakly rubbed at his mouth, where some blood had formed. "You have to take back your throne…" he managed to whisper. I watched by Slenderman's side, as the man's fire was snuffed out. I sighed, and moved away from the new corpse. "What did he mean by you having to take back your throne?" Slender asked softly. I looked up at the tall man. "He knows that for as long as I do not make a move, my ex will continue to send group after group of men and women after me." A slight growl coursed through me. "Lives matter little to him, but slightly more to me. He knows this. That is why he will most likely send wave after wave of them, until I tire of the bloodshed and not of fatigue." Slender nodded in understanding. "so he would wait until guilt claims you, then rely on that." I nodded. "Once I'd given in to grief, he would add salt to the wounds of defeat. Once I get there, he will of course have traps set up for me, but the bastard will still have won, as I would have gone there eventually." I began to laugh. "Ah, the fool he has forgotten. My heart has indeed become soft over the years, but it seems the throne of blood has come calling again." I thumped my bandaged sword down on the earth, one hand rested on the top of it. Just then, a heard the clank and whoosh of air parting fast. My bandages exploded out, shielding us. An explosion caved the earth around us, but did not cave me. After the explosion cleared, I could see a x12 glider in the air. Imagine, a helicopter, but silent. Nasty. My bandages responded to my will like they have before so many times, reaching up into the air. I could see them in the windows, loading more ammunition into the machine guns onboard. Too late for them. My bandaged weapon had found what it was looking for, wrapping itself around the tail end of the helicopter. It pulled downwards, pulling the helicopter close to me, down and down further, until I could see them aiming at me again. I gripped my sword tightly with both hands, and swung. I gained momentum, then slammed them down through the forest. Fire reined the forest tonight, while explosions ruled the earth. I watched the flames tower high, then billow back into a raging flame. I heard a low whistle from behind me. The brothers had reappeared by Slender's side. I felt my bandaged sword rewrap itself accordingly, shifting until it was comfortable once again. Offender spoke first. "I'll be, I didn't think she was capable." I chuckled. "You and so many more." Trender tittered about. "What was that thing?" That thing was unfortunately one of my creations, used against me. Just another thing that had been stolen from me. "It was a war machine created by myself and stolen by you know who. Everything that was once mine, he has claimed for himself." Splendor spoke next. I could see he was wearing a black tophat and a polka dotted suit. I grinned. "How did they locate you so quickly?" I had a theory. I pulled out my phone, ignoring the screech of static when I turned it on. The brother flinched visibly. I snickered. Smart bastards. The internet bars on my phone had reached 4 bars. Before, I had gotten nothing. "They moved a satellite to sit over us."
