We're here, again, for another dose of cliche, sorry for the delay mates.
Darkness, emptiness for miles to come, with one light bulb buzzing its way to life above her head, each direction lead to the same darkness. She panted, her breath was laboured, and as the sweet serene noise of classical music echoed the light stopped its buzzes. Then a deep male voice echoed through her ears, "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away"
"Who are you?" Luna shouted as she took her gun out, with both hands she held it firmly, "Show yourself!"
"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds," The voice echoed again, making the girl tensed, afraid, panicked as her breath became heavier.
"Dude, this is not funny man, come out," Luna replied with the gun aimed into the darkness around her.
Seconds passed and a light shined down, forming a little corridor and exposing a silhouette of someone in a hood, with fear Luna aimed at it, "Stay there!" Luna shouted, but it didn't do as she was told, it walked, slowly, condescendingly. Luna pulled the trigger but no bullet flew out, instead, a yellow spotty caterpillar crawled out before falling to the white floor below her feet. Pulling the trigger again and again, and no bullet flew out, just a bunch of caterpillars. Not knowing what to do, Luna threw the gun at it, and with no effort, it caught it with its left hand before throwing it back to Luna, she braced for the impact with her arms covering her face but nothing hit her, putting her arms down she saw butterflies, flocking in front of her before flying away into the darkness. "Luna Loud," The being said as it circles Luna.
"How did you know my name?" Luna asked as she observed the thing's movement.
"I've been there since the day you were born, my love" it chuckled out heavily.
"I'm not 'your love' i don't even know what you are," Luna protested with might in her voice.
In which it replied by unveiling its hood, revealing golden blonde hair, and the loving face of her mother, Rita Loud. In a heartbeat, Luna leapt forward hugging the apparition tightly. "Mom, don't leave me again please," she cried into the ghostly figure's should, "I don't know what I would do without you,"
"Why did you give me Lily?" Luna asked, reminiscing the day they departed from her life. "Did you know?"
"Sweetie, don't be like this, I'll always be there for you," mom replied, "but now, I want you to wake up and take care of your sister for me,"
"Wait mom no," Luna screamed as the lights dimmed down and her mother fades away. "NO, WHY ME?"
Her eyes opened wide but all she saw was darkness and her mouth was blocked by something, it felt like skin, and it was skin. Luna tried to fight but the figure pushed a gun to her bruised stomach. Making Luna groan in pain, Then it spoke, a manly voice echoed out, "Do anything funny and I'll blow your head off, understand". In no position to object to the man's orders, she nodded. The man took his hand off her mouth and pulled her up from the mattress she laid on, "We don't have long follow me," The figure said as they entered the light, revealing his black hoodie.
Scared for her and Lily's lives Luna followed the man, turn after turn until they reached the double doors with gym written above it, the panes were sealed with planks and the locks were chained. The man in the hood opened a vent beside the doors, and said "up," before putting his hands forward to boost her incline. She pondered for a moment, was this a good idea? Sadly time wasn't on her side, the man grabbed her by the waist and boosted her into the vents. Seeing it as a way to escape Luna crawled as fast as she could as the man whispered loudly for her, "Dude, stop!" but Luna didn't listen, she crawled and crawled, grunting as her bruised body was dragged in the dusty ventilation shaft. The vent smelled bad.
Seeing light shining from the other side, Luna smiled before falling through the metal vent, "Shit," she grunted in pain as her body fell to the floor. Pulling herself up, her nose was greeted with a foul stench, the smell of rotten flesh. Pinching her nose she explored her way in the darkness consumed room, "I'm fucked," her gun is not with her, and she was never getting out of there alive, those monsters will rip her apart in seconds after first sight. "Oh fuck, oh fuck," she said to herself as she heard footsteps coming in, she hid behind what she thought was a table. the table was cold and wet. Why would there be tables in here she asked herself as she laid her gaze on the faded murals on the walls. The footsteps close in and she heard voices, coming from the direction of the steps, people.
"Can't believe we lost Paul, he'd make a fine meal," one of the voices said as a loud clang echoed through the large space. "Least we have this man for tomorrow's lunch,"
"At least Brenda got that fine Jesse gal," another voice said. "I'd eat her ass like no tomorrow,"
Hearing that Luna covered her mouth, trying her best not to make a noise, dripping echoed, pulling her nerves together she pokes her head out and saw a small light, emitting from their head torches, in their hands were blades a machete or a cleaver, whatever it is, it was large. and on the table laid someone, covered in blood as the two chopped their way in. Moments passed and the men left, leaving Luna alone in the dark, with the freshly chopped corpse. She walked over to it and saw the face frozen in horror, the eyes bulged, the cracked open, and its fingers chopped away. Her stomach couldn't handle it, she ran, climbing back inside the broken vent, sneaking back to the place she was sleeping. Taking her gun out of her rucksack, she holstered it behind her.
"What the fuck did I just saw?" she asked herself.
"I told you to stop, I could've been there," said the familiar voice behind her, turning around with her gun secured in her hands, aiming where the voice came from. "whoa, we're on the same side here,"
"Start talking," Luna said with the gun aimed where the sun never shined.
Sorry if it's shit. Thanks for reading mates
