There was a loud slam from the basement. Shrugging it off, I sat on the couch—contemplating what I should do. Perhaps I should just leave. It depresses me greatly to be in the presence of Todd when he's around that Nny. He just seems so happy. All this really makes me wanna go and kill some random people. Maybe those damn gothic worshipers I get at my door. Now those people piss me off. Why can't they just—a deafening bawl floated from the basement. Normally, I would ignore it…passing it off as Nny's victims. But…it sounded so familiar.
TODD!
Pulling myself off the couch, I race down the stairs to where Todd and Nny were last. What had happened?! Had one of Nny's victims gotten out?! Todd! Todd be alright! If anything happened…I would…
My eyes widen at the sight. Todd…on the ground…blood stained the wall and the floor surrounding him. Dead…? Todd…is dead…? I glance up to as I hear a door open from farther down the hall. Nny walks out of it—oblivious to my staring—dragging a sledgehammer in his hands, allowing it to drag on the floor. W-what is he doing…?!
He reached Todd with relatively ease—despite carrying such a heavy object. I open my mouth to say something…ask him why he isn't helping…when I see him raising the hammer. H-HE WOULDN'T!
It mallet moves through the air with great speed—cracking into bone and flesh. An agonized cry escaped Todd's blood stained lips as contact is made.
His leg…Nny…Nny just smashed his leg.
"Ah…? It seems you're still alive." Nny has amusement wrapped around his words. "I would have thought you would be dead by now."
"….Nny….w-why…?" Todd's pain-filled voice asked as his eyes try to focus on the being behind him.
I don't know what comes over me. Seeing Todd like that…broken…just allowing Nny to…to do this! I allow myself to fire a blast towards him. The fire catches him offguard—slamming him into the wall.
I run towards Todd's side. Kneeling, I glance over the damage. One maimed arm, one leg smashed at the knee… I don't need to see anymore to allow my anger to reach its maximum. How dare he! How dare he do this!
I'm going to make him pay for this.
I walk over to his fallen body. Still shaken from the blow, he staggers to his feet. No…he deserves to crawl on the ground! Like a worm! Another flame slammed into his body—setting various limbs aflame as he found himself against the wall.
Yes. You should feel every painful moment. I grab hold of his navy[13] hair, pulling on it.
"…how dare you…" I slam his head into the wall behind him—still holding onto his hair. "HOW DARE YOU!"
Blood is coughed up onto my shirt as the blow is made. Growling, I tug hard on the tresses that are in my hand until they are pulled out. Glancing up at me, he actually looks scared. Scared…?! Nny…? He's…never…scared… I shake my head. HE SHOULD BE FOR WHAT HE DID!
"I went easy on you before," I allow my voice to turn into a darkened hiss, "because you were Todd's friend. Don't think I am going to now!"
Moving back towards Todd's body, I glance at his current condition. Shit! I pick him up, slinging him over my back. Glaring back at Nny, I allow yet another flame burn into his skin—leaving the wall another bloodstained mark.
Running out of the shack, I glance over my shoulder towards Todd. His blood has begun to seep into my clothing and onto the skin beneath. Glancing around, I start to feel panic eat away at me.
I don't know where a hospital is from here. The only one I know is a few miles away and that's if I take a car. NO! I cannot think like this.
Father! Father might be able to help. I move so Todd is now against my chest rather than on my back. Hugging him, I allow myself a sad smile.
"Don't worry Todd. I'll save you." I nuzzle his hair a bit as I get up moving towards the direction of my house. "And when I do…I'm going to come back and kill Nny."

TBC?
C&C are welcome!
[13] Yes Nny's hair is navy not black. You can see it on the back of Squee's Wonderful Big, Giant Book of Unspeakable Horrors. The color is navy. I'm sorry for the mix up! ^_^
