He stared at me with a blank expression on his face. We sat there in silence for a while, playing with my fingers to keep myself from feeling too awkward when he finally spoke up.
"What do you mean 'Help'?" his eyes stayed emotionless as he asked
I shrugged "The guy sounds like an asshole."
This made him crack a Cheshire cat-like smile at me. I blushed and looked down..it felt like he was looking through me knowing everything about me, like he was peering into my soul. It made me uncomfortable. I heard him move forward and next thing I know he uses his thumb to make me look up at him. My heart started to race, something told me I should be scared of him, since yeah he can kinda kill me with the lift of his finger but I knew he didn't have it in him. I was just too "Interesting" for him to throw away. He continued to stare in my eyes and I in his.
"Are you ready for your next test?" he asked
All I could do was nod. I didn't know what to else so say. If I said 'no' I knew he would make me do it anyway.
In a blink of an eye I was somewhere else. Quickly scanning around my surroundings I saw a few old buildings that looked like cottage houses and a barn.
I slowly walked around looking for something, anything to show me what I was supposed to do. My shoes squeaked under me from the muddy ground. Looking down and frowning at my combat boots since they were new which were now ruined. I saw what looked like a gate in the center of this little village and started walking towards it. About halfway there it slammed shut. Quickly running up to it and seeing if it would budge, to no avail.
Those moaning sounds flooded my hearing and made me stiffen.
Slowly turning around I saw at least ten of them…they held weapons, pitchforks, knives, one had a rifle. Some of them were wearing white masks that almost resembled clowns which made them even more the terrifying. I was no match for all of them.
Before any more thought I ran past them sprinting as fast as my legs would carry me. Hearing footsteps run behind me I pushed myself even farther. I heard a gunshot and felt a piercing pain in my left thigh. Falling face-first on the ground and rolling in the process.
"FUCCKKK!" rocking back and forth I held my leg in my arms.
I looked at my wound and noticed the bullet went through clean not leaving any remaining metal in my leg. I quickly tore off the sleeve to my blouse and wrapped it tightly around my leg to stop the bleeding. The creatures started to quickly surround me.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!" I spat at them.
They continued to inch closer
And closer
And closer
Until my heart was racing and my adrenaline moved me. I slowly got up only standing on one leg breathing heavily gripping my leg I peered up at my enemies.
I slowly raised both my arms from my sides and held them in the air by my sides closing my eyes. Focusing, leaving my hands flat in the air.
Then I clenched my hands into fists.
All of their bodies went flying across the village being torn limb from limb. The sound of their bones cracking, flesh being torn apart, it was soothing. A mist of their blood flew on me, covering me from head to toe.
My legs gave up on me, falling to my knees I gripped the now blood filled mud on the ground trying to recover from the dizziness and nausea using that much power did to me.
I felt a hand grip my shoulder, spinning around I threw them across the village with a push of my hand. I squinted at the figure and realized it was Ruvik.
My eyes widened…shit. He looks sooo pissed at me right now.
"Sorrrryyy!" I yelled over to him biting my lip.
He quickly teleported over and looked furious, I gave him puppy eyes and the pouty lip so maybe I wouldn't die today. He just looked at me like I was insane. I scoffed yeah cause ya know, I'M the insane one.
"I'm sorry..?" I apologized again.
He continued to look down at me with that quizzical look on his face when finally he spoke
"That was magnificent, my theory was correct."
"What theory?" I squinted looking up at him getting angry.
"Under stress, you can use even more power and destroy much more."
"So…your telling me you control what these things do to me?" I was steaming with rage
"In a way" he smirked down at me.
Pointing to my leg I yelled "Why did you have to make one of those bastards shoot me in the god damn leg?! Wasn't it enough hanging me from fucking barbed wire?!" Steaming with rage I tried getting up but couldn't. Fuck my life.
A burned hand came into vision. Slowly looking up to his face I sighed and grabbed his hand. He helped me up and pulled me to his chest.
I looked over analyzing the village seeing dead bodies everywhere and seeing what I've done I hid my face on his chest. Putting his hand on the back of my head stroking my hair I closed my eyes. I wrapped my arms around his body hugging him.
Sebastian's P.O.V
When the hell was this ever going to end, this was living an actual fucking nightmare or still being in a lucid dream. I slowly walked through this creepy old village with my lantern in my hand looking for anybody still alive, not one of these undead thoughtless things. Seeing a dead body, I quickly got out my match box and struck a match throwing it down onto the body making sure it wouldn't come back alive.
That's when I heard someone scream 'fuck', it sounded like a woman.
I ran towards her voice, I quickly drew my weapon and put my back against one of the cottages. Peeking around the corner I saw that it was Anastasia. She was wrapping her leg which looked to be bleeding pretty badly. The creatures started to surround her she screamed "LEAVE ME ALONE!" About to run to her aid I stopped myself. She rose from the ground and brought her hands from her sides with her palms in the air. My eyes widened 'what in the hell was she doing?' I asked myself.
She quickly made her hands into fists.
My eyes widened as I saw bodies flying towards me and I quickly put my back against the cottage again. Body parts were flying past me smacking against the walls.
Peeking around the corner in terror I saw she was now kneeling in the mud with her hands on the ground. She had blood splatters all over her clothes. Walking out again I was stopped once more. Ruvik appeared behind her, making me kneel down so he wouldn't see me. He put his hand on her shoulder.
Her startled, quickly turned and pushed him with her palm and he went flying across the village hitting his back HARD on a nearby wall. I bit my lip trying not to burst out into laughter.
Her eyes said it all, she looked terrified of what she had done to him. I wanted to applaud her for that.
"Soooorryy!" she yelled over to him.
Why the hell would she apologize?
He teleported back to her staring down at her she gave him that face she usually gives people when she has done something wrong.
I'm sorry..?" she apologized again.
He continued to look down at her with the most dumbfounded look on his face when he finally spoke.
"That was magnificent, my theory was correct." What the hell is he talking about?
"What theory?" she responded to his statement.
"Under stress you can use even more power and destroy much more." 'Power?' what was he fucking saying?
"So…your telling me you control what these things do to me?" Anastasia looked furious now.
"In a way" he smirked down at her.
Pointing to her leg she yelled "Why did you have to make one of those bastards shoot me in the god damn leg?! Wasn't it enough hanging me from fucking barbed wire?!" so he was the one who did that to her…why wasn't she running from him? Nothing made sense to me.
I saw her trying to get up and I guess Ruvik noticed too.
He held his hand out to her. Sighing she took his hand and he pulled her up to his chest. She started looking at the bodies on the ground, her eyes teared up and she hid her eyes with his chest. He slowly stroked her hair leaning his chin on the top of her head. She put her arms around him hugging him tightly.
I aimed my gun at Ruvik, closing an eye I was locked on to his head about to pull the trigger when his eyes met mine. 'Shit' I mentally cursed.
He smiled.
Then they were gone.
