Part 7

(Nny's View)

I paced around, thinking.

"(Hmm... Do I look fat? I feel fat)" I think to myself.

I looked at a broken mirror, "OHMYGOD! LOOK AT MY ASS! IT'S HUGE!"

"Oh no it's not Nny, don't you be ridiculous." A voice hissed behind me.

I whipped around, knives ready, "Who are you? Show yourself!"

"Oh it's just me, Reverend Meat..."

"It doesn't sound like you, how did you get back in here?"

"Oh, it's me all right", Meat stepped out from the shadows. He's gotten taller and obviously, he's gained the ability to move about.

"You can move..." I whispered.

Meat laughed evilly and did an imitation of Pinocchio, "Look Nny! I'm a real boy!... But not really because I'm made out of metal... and I drink blood..."

"But... how?"

"Simple, I am a manifestation of hatred. It's only obvious that I would be around you. You are so full of it. You've made me what I am right now..." Meat began laughing insanely, "I don't even need you to kill for me like that thing that used to be behind the wall. The moose. Heh. I'm already strong enough to do it myself! All thanks to you!"

"You've been using me..." I said quietly.

"AHAHA! DUH! Did you figure that out all by yourself, boy, or did the voices in your head help you?"

I felt a wave of self-loathing for never figuring out until it was too late. I also felt hatred towards the thing that I've created.

"HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA! THAT'S IT NNY! HATE! Hate yourself! HATE ME! HATE EVERYONE!" Meat laughed with obvious relish.

Meat seemed to grow more nightmarish. His grin became a terrible smile full of needle-like teeth that split his face in two. His fingers grew thinner and longer, more claw-like. His whole body stretched out until he was about six feet tall. His limbs and neck grew longer.

OH MY GOD HE'S GOT KNEES! Wait... ewww... They're bent inwards.

"Shit. No... this isn't happening", I whispered.

"Oh but it is, my dear Nny", His new voice had an echoing effect. It reminded me of the void.

"Heh... If you thought the doughboys and the moose were bad, just wait until you see what I WILL DO!" Meat laughed and saliva dripped from his teeth. "I think I'll go wreak havoc right now and perhaps I will kill a certain... purple... haired... girl..."

"YOU STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM DEVI! I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!" I shrieked.

"You just try it!" Meat laughed again and walked towards the window.

I took a dagger and threw it at Meat.

CLAANNNGGGGG!

The weapon bounced harmlessly off Meat and I stood there shocked. Meat turned around and stared me in the eye contemptuously, "I'm of metal, remember?" and with that, he leapt from the window and disappeared into the darkness.

"DEVI! SHIT!" I fumbled around for the phone.

I dialed her number quickly and waited for an answer.

Ring...

Ring...GODDAMNIT PICK UP!

Ring...PLEASE!

Click!... "Hello?"

"DEVI! PLEA—"

"Nny? OHMYFUCKINGGOD!... You're not within 5 MILES FROM ME ARE YOU? Because I'll kick your ass if you are! Give me one reason why I shouldn't hang up?!"

"No! Please don't! THERE'S SOMEONE AFTER YOU—"

"Well, it's kind of obvious who that is..."

"No! It's NOT me! I'm sorry for what I did in the past, but Reverend Meat! He's going to KILL you!" I screeched frantically.

"Reverend Meat? Who's that?"

"My Burger Boy made of metal! HE'S ALIVE! HE CAN MOVE! HE'S GOT KNEES! OH DEAR LORD HE'S GOT KNEES!" I shrieked.

"Uh... huh... ok... umm... Nny?"

I calmed down a bit, "...Yes?"

"Go get help for yourself... Please..." CLICK! She hung up.

I stood there with the phone, listening to the disconnected tone. "Devi..."

No... I can't let her die... I WON'T!

I grabbed the keys and ran out the door. I shoved into the car and drove to Devi's place.

I just hope I'm not too late...
