This chapter is sort of short, and may end up confusing people. I'm still recovering from writer's block. :( Sorry.
Wh… What's going on, I thought to myself as I opened my eyes. I looked around and saw nothing but darkness around me. I keep hearing voices lately, as well as saw nothing.
"Kill. Destroy. Massacre. Grieve. Fear. Conquer. Die!"
"What the hell is wrong with me," I shouted to the darkness. I couldn't stand it anymore, but, still, I do it, and keep it a secret.
Up ahead, I heard Gibson's voice saying, "Otto's okay. Luckily, it wasn't deep. But it's still quite large. He won't be able to fight for a while." Suddenly, I heard the sound of water. I looked down, and saw not water, but blood trailing on the ground.
"What the--" I said until the sound of crying cut me off. I looked to my right, and I saw Nova, down to her knees, crying. "Nova… Don't cry," I whispered gently as, reluctantly, I walked up to her and reached for her shoulder
But when I did, a sharp, stinging feeling crawled down my spine. There, behind me, was a familiar-looking shadow with a malicious smirk, scratching his sky-blue claws down my back. "Hell shall pay for you, Sprx," he said in a calm yet psychotic voice as he raised his right claw, stabbed it through my back and chest, and snatched out a handful of bloody wires and circuits.
"So it was you…" I said shakily, but was cut off as a numb feeling overtook me. I fell, face first onto the ground, bleeding excessively.
The last thing I heard from the shadow before life faded away from me was, "Yes, Sprx. It's me... Antauri."
Later, I heard Nova's voice shouting, "Sprx! Wake up! Wake up!"
I replied by opening my eyes and whispered, "Antauri…"
"Sprx…?" Then she turned to Antauri, who leaned against a wall, glaring at me.
Angrily, I shouted while attempting to escape from a set of wires and chains attached to me, "You bastard! It was you who killed Mandarin, not me! You framed me!" My eyes turned red as the wires and chains broke off of me, the computers' screens shattered, and the machines exploded.
"Everyone, get outta here! This place is gonna blow," Nova shouted to the other monkeys as she placed an unconscious Otto onto her shoulder and ran out the door with the others. When they left, I suddenly stopped and fell face first onto the ground.
Wow, what an unexpected twist. Sorry if this is kind of confusing. This happened due to trying to recover from writer's block. Hopefully, everything will be explained in the next chapter.
