Welcome back traveller, to what do I owe you today?
"..."
That is forbidden in Tamriel dear traveller.
"..."
No, I won't give it to you, but please take this poorly constructed 20th chapter.
"..."
Bye now.
"Alright kid, stay behind me, I know the place," Mick said as he looked at Lily, his gun in hand, they sneaked over, putting their backs on the wall, "Never caught your name,"
"Why do I need to tell you?" Lily replied, trying to act tough.
"Sorry, I don't know what kids these days are up to," Mick said, he felt somewhat hurt by the comment, and Lily noticed it, she could see the hurt coming out of his breath.
"It's Lily," she said in defeat.
"I'm Mick," he replied in a slightly cheerful tone, "From Portland-"
"I didn't ask for your resume, now can we save my sister?" Lily said in frustration, "Sorry, but I just want my sister back,"
"Sorry,"
As they were about to sneak under a dugout hole on the ground, they heard gunshots, fearing for their lives, Mick grabbed Lily into his arms and ran, how did the guards saw them, they ran and ran, Lily could just shout, begging for him to turn around, but he didn't. Out of breath, Mick jumped behind a tree, getting ready for the hellfire that is to come.
"What the fuck Mick?" Lily said angrily, she tried to go out of cover, but Mick pulled her back, as a scream came near.
"Lily, if they see you, they'll shoot you and your sister is going to be alone in there, tortured every day until the end of days, do you want that? DO YOU WANT THAT?" Mick whispered loudly in Lily's ear, "I'm sorry,"
Lily sat, laying the gun on the ground as her eyes laid gaze on the night sky, she could hear the gunfire raining from the town, "you're right, I'm sorry," Lily replied, as she pulled her knees into a hug, "I'm just mad, Luna took care of me since the first day, she was always there for me, I failed her too many times, she was always there for me, I tried to blow my brains up when I found out she got napped again, this past few days were the worst, and Luna were always there, I don't know what I'll do if she passes,"
"We were supposed to go to Florida," Lily said as she wiped the tears that fell down her cheeks, "We heard someone on the radio, he said that the more south you go, the hotter it gets, and Luna said that there is no snow in Florida, it'll be one long summer forever, it'll be better to set up a garden there than back north, so we packed up and left, how 'bout you, what's your story, Mick?"
"When I was sixteen, my dad got married to this baker, we lived in her house with three dogs, I hated her, she forced me to work, she constantly beat me up, forced me to eat dogshit and I snapped, one night, I came home and I saw my dad and her doing the Devil's Tango, they had no shame, so I ran upstairs and grabbed my dad's pistol. I shot both of them, I can't forget their faces, they begged, I can hear them 'don't this son' 'honey please' all those things, but I just couldn't take it anymore, so I shot them both dead, when I turn around I saw my brother, Daniel, he was so afraid of me, he just stopped working,"
"I'm sorry, Mick," Lily said before patting Mick's back.
"Enough about me, are we going to get your sister or not?" Mick replied as he looked down on his watch, an hour had passed and the gunshots stopped, "Wanna bust this joint up?"
"Yeah," Lily replied as the two made their way to the wall, they saw the gates wide open, and they could hear those things inside, screaming as they feast on the dead, "What the hell happened here?"
Lily asked as she looked at the fire raging, and corpses spread, they saw some of the creatures eating, enjoying their feast. "I think I'm gonna be sick," Mick said as they walked past the pile of corpses stacked like an offering. "She must be in the palace," Mick continued as the two walked over to the so-called palace, there were shell casings laying on the front door, there were guns scattered on the ground, and there was blood flowing from the inside. "Alright be ready,"
"Always am," Lily replied as the two entered the building, she saw guards dead on the floor, she saw this a little bit too many times that it almost doesn't faze her anymore, they walked and walked down the corridor and they saw one of the creatures feasting on a dead man, they had to take it out quietly if they don't want a dozen more to come.
Mick saw the axe on the floor, next to a dead girl in a tight latex suit, "You're useful for once," Mick said as he picked the axe up, pulling it back, he used the force and gravity to split the creature's head in half, it was glorious, the creature laid lifeless on the ground, as the two moved past it. Mick saw the room, the room they took Luna to, opening it he saw nothing but a severed foot on the floor, "what the fuck?" Mick exclaimed silently as Lily ran inside, expecting to find Luna.
"Luna, where are you?!" Lily whispered loudly. Her eyes caught the foot, and immediately she recognised the boot it was wearing, the same one Luna wore, that's her foot, she saw the puddle of blood, she saw all of it, "L-luna?"
"Fuck, kid, I'm sorry, I-I-I don't know," Mick blabbered as Lily picked the foot into her arms, hugging it tightly.
"Luna, where are you?" Lily wept, "Luna, you promised,"
As she hugged the bloody foot tighter, the closet in the corner rattled, Mick looked at it, and opened it with a gun pointed, and what came out was Kaiser, the man behind the puppets, he was scared, his satin bathrobe was dirty with blood, and his leg was wounded. "Haha, I'm still alive, I'm still alive, I'm still alive," he blabbered as he slapped his face multiple times, "Where is my pet? kitty? where's my new pet? the brunette?" He mumbled, catching Lily's attention.
"What brunette?" she asked with the gun aimed in between his eyes, "answer me,"
"The brunette with short hair, that screams, and talk like a Brit," he laughed, his mind was broken, "Are you her replacement, because they took her away,"
"what they?" Lily asked with the gun hammer cocked.
"They, all of them," he chuckled hysterically, before getting hit by Lily, she may be small but her anger is larger than a hydrogen bomb, the hatred she possesses could singlehandedly take down a small government with the right tools of course. She wanted to cry, but she doesn't want to look weak, she clenched her teeth together, trying her best not to yell, she wanted to blow the man's head off, but she doesn't want to cause those creatures to come, so she continued beating the man with the gun in her hand, each blow making her tears flow violently, with each blow also came despair, with the final blow knocking the man out, Lily fell to the ground, crying, weeping her sorrow out.
"Luna, you promised," Lily cried, Mick saw the little girl tear up into tissues, she couldn't bear it. Closing the door, Mick pulled Lily into a hug, trying his best to calm the girl down. "you promised,"
"It's okay, we'll find her, Florida right, we'll get there," Mick said, as he tighten the hug around the kid, "We'll meet her there, alright,"
How long were they riding? Hours? The night sky turned blue as the sun slowly rose to his throne, the shriekings faded into the darkness of the forests. Riley could hear those gunshots, she killed those people, some of them deserved it, but the kids, the innocence. Kids, they didn't have a chance. "Oh god," Riley gasped as her imagination played the images of kids ripped from limb to limb, eaten alive, crying in fear, weeping in pain.
"We're gonna go to the book store alright, meet up with Patrick and Mick," he said but he could hear the mumbles of Riley who sat behind him, he could hear her blaming herself over it.
"You had no choice, Riley," he said as he slowly pulled over the horse carriage, he jumped on the back and looked at Riley, she felt the guilt of killing children, and he looked at Luna, she was still unconscious, unstrapping the gas mask he saw her face, the right side of her face was scarred to oblivion leaving only the left untouched, he wanted to vomit at the sight of the melted skin and exposed tissue, but he couldn't, "Fuck,"
Riley got up from where she was sitting, she saw the girl's face, that must've hurt Riley thought to herself, but her ears caught something else, a weak buzz, figuring what it was, she unzips the unconscious girl's pants.
"Riley, what the fuck?" he exclaimed as he stared dumbfoundedly at the actions his friend is committing, "I knew you liked her, but dude, she's sick,"
"Not that, ya moron," Riley replied as she took out a buzzing little pink capsule from the girl's pants, "That sick cunt,"
Time moves so fast, and here we are at Chapter 20, Au Revoir and [ALASTOR's VOICE] Stay Tuned
