I do not own anything in this story
"Because I am going to fucking kill you both, that's why."
Nurse kicked his cage.
"Yeah right, keep flappin those gums of yours kid it'll give us more reason to remove them tomorrow." she said. She moved over to the new girl's cage and said "Because of him" she said pointing the branding iron at Shinji "You're branding is gonna be extra painful tomorrow girl." Nurse turned around and gave Shinji's cage one last kick rattling it violently. She then threw the iron onto the floor. Nurse and Doctor then went upstairs and locked the door.
"Look what you have done" said the new girl. "It's not bad enough I am in here but now they will hurt me even more because of you."
"Like I said before, they are not going to get the chance" said Shinji. Shinji listened and waited for Nurse and Doctor to go to bed. When he heard no more noise upstairs he rocked the cage until it fell over on its side. He kept flipping the cage gradually getting closer to his goal, the branding iron. Finally he reached the iron and pulled it into his cage. The other children watched him with cautious hope. Shinji wedged the iron between the two rusted bars on the one side of his cage and pulled to one side hoping to make the gap bigger. Shinji was digging inside himself for the strength he needed, his hope was running out with his strength. He was suddenly hit with a barrage of thoughts followed by a cold voice,
"Your father left you at the gate of this city. He probably knew that this was going to happen. He doesn't care that these people plan to chop you up! And right now they are upstairs dreaming about all the money they are going to make after plucking out your organs. Kill them! Kill them before they kill you! Destroy them! Rip open this damned cage!"
Shinji could feel a deep dark burning spilling out from his heart into his arms. The children in the cages watched in horror as their hero's blue eyes turned into a deep crimson and his once calm demeanor turned into a savage snarl. Shinji pulled on the iron with his new found strength and snapped the bars like toothpicks. Shinji's eyes returned to their natural azure color and his hands began to shake from his adrenaline withdrawing.
"Get us out of here" said one small girl. "Please help us." Shinji crawled out of his broken cage and want over to the cage holding the three children one boy and two girls. He inspected the cage and couldn't find a rusty spot like had found on his cage. He resolved that he had to break the padlock. He picked up the branding iron and waited for the storm outside to make a loud enough noise to cover his strike at the lock. Every loud boom he heard he brought down the iron onto the lock. Kaboom, clang, kaboom, clang, until the lock began to visibly weaken. When the next kaboom he brought down the iron with one last mighty swing and broke off the lock.
The children crawled out of the cage with help from Shinji. Shinji handed the iron to the boy from the first cage and instructed him on what to do. Shinji was going to go upstairs and see to Nurse and Doctor.
"Thank you" said the new girl. "Thank you so much" Shinji nodded and made his way up to the door at the top of the staircase and found the doorknob. Like with the iron he waited for a loud thundering and slammed his shoulder into the door. He could feel the door start to give way, large splinters lodged into his skin and drips of blood began to come out. After a few more tries he finally busted the door open.
Shinji crept through the doorway into the kitchen. He walked up to the sink and saw the scalpel sitting in the bloody water. Shinji could feel his lips curl up into a snarl once he considered that the blood soaking off that medical knife was most likely his own. He reached into the bloody water and wrapped his fingers around the scalpel pulling it out. He crept into the living room and turned left into a dark hallway with several doors.
He walked slowly to the first door on his right, softly turning the knob and peeking inside. He saw inside a pool table, a television, and a fireplace. He figured the room was Doctor and Nurse's rec. room. He closed the door and looked behind him to the opposite room; he turned the knob once again and opened it. It was their bathroom. Only two more doors remained in the hallway, Shinji crept forward and went to the door on the left. Shinji tightened his grip on the knife, twisted the knob, and pulled. Shinji looked in and saw horrifying images of children being abused, tacked up along the walls of the closet. He looked on and saw horrendous pictures of Nurse and Doctor doing unspeakable acts to children both alive and dead. He focused on the happy faces of those monsters in the pictures as they violated children who ranged from his twelve to what looked like two year olds. Shinji closed the door grinding his teeth in inflamed rage; he could feel his body changing again. His body felt like it was on fire and his muscles spasmed as they gained an uncontainable amount of energy. He turned to his right to the last door; his grip on the knife made his knuckles turn white. Shinji heard his heart thumping in his throat as he slowly turned the knob and peeked through the sliver of space he had made in the door.
He peeked inside and saw Doctor lying asleep in bed fast asleep, on his nightstand Shinji could see what looked like photographs. Shinji knew what kind, that bastard had tired himself out reminiscing of one of his sick acts. He could not see Nurse anywhere in sight but he heard the shower running and assumed she was in there. Shinji opened the door making his way to the bed step by step with knife in hand. He approached the bed and looked down into the face of Doctor. Doctor wheezed in his deep sleep. Shinji felt thoughts brewing in his mind, he felt some scared part of him screaming to drop the knife and run away from this house. The dark voice he had heard before interrupted his thoughts it screamed,
"What are you doing? Kill him! Wring his fat neck! If you don't cut him up then he will do it to you! Kill him now! Do it or I will!" Shinji keep feel some overwhelming force sink into his arms and an unexplained bloodlust enter his thoughts. Shinji felt his eyes burn red and his arms unleash great energy. Shinji brought down the knife right in the middle of Doctor's throat bringing it up for his next strike. Doctor woke up instantly moving his hand to his wound to cover it up. He looked at Shinji seeing him with red eyes, snarling teeth, and a large knife in his hands. He screamed to Nurse for help but the words came out in heaving gasps and pathetic wheezes. Shinji using his free hand grabbed a pillow and shoved it into Doctor's face pushing him back into the bed. The Doctor could not over power this frightening child even with all of his might as he stabbed him over and over in his chest wild holding the pillow over his mouth.
Shinji felt lost in the moment, he felt his lips turn into a smile showing off all of his teeth. He must have stabbed Doctor twenty more times until he finally died and ten more times out of sheer pleasure. Shinji could feel himself getting tired, his sudden energy drained once again from his arms and they hung limply by his sides. He dropped the knife and breathed deeply trying to recover his breath. Behind him Nurse emerged from her shower with her robe on and walked into her bed room and let out an earth shattering scream. She saw her lover with a pillow over his face and over a dozen stab wounds in his chest all from that little shit! She picked up the knife and grabbed Shinji by his arm and threw him on the bed. She raised the knife and stabbed Shinji deep into his chest. Shinji let loose a scream of agony as Nurse pulled it out for another stab. Shinji raised his legs up and kicked Nurse in her stomach sending her back a few steps. The floor had become wet from Nurse's still wet feet. Shinji got on the bed and jumped at her, knocking her of her balance and onto her back. Shinji grabbed the belt of Nurses robe and pulled it out. He sat on top of her chest pinning her down on the wet floor.
Shinji wrapped the belt of the robe around Nurses neck and criss crossed them to choke her. Nurse made violent swings at Shinji with the knife stabbing his shoulders and arms repeatedly while Shinji just kept tightening and tightening his knot squeezing more air out of Nurse's lungs. Nurse looked into Shinji's blood red eyes realizing his determination and noticed stabbing at him did no good; she dropped the knife and grabbed for the belt choking the life out of her. Shinji kept pulling tighter and tighter on the belt despite Nurse's fighting. Nurse was visibly blue by now and was beginning to lose her strength. Eventually her hands collapsed at her side and she slipped into unconsciousness.
Shinji picked up the knife again and stabbed Nurse over and over again with his renewed ferocity. Shinji could taste her blood flying at his face; he gained a deep satisfaction seeing Nurse's face twist in pain until her emotionless face lying there dead. Shinji got up and felt his chest streaming blood. He left the room and limped into the kitchen where the other children waited for him.
"Oh god you're bleeding! Are you gonna die?" screamed one girl. Shinji shook his head and asked in his breathless voice,
"Is everyone out?" The others nodded and someone asked,
"Where do we go now?" The newest girl said,
"We can go to my daddy, doctor Kurasano! He will help us!" She moved over to Shinji and felt his chest where his knife wound was. "He will also help you, please come with"
"I will, but I can't let this house stand having held so much pain and horror. Take everyone to your father's office. I will find it later. Go!" said Shinji. The girl reluctantly nodded and led the children out of the house while supporting one boy with a missing leg. Shinji went to the stove and found a candle, a book of matches, and a bucket. He ran into the bedroom where Doctor and Nurse's bodies were and placed the bucket down in the middle of the room with the opening down. He placed the candle on top and lit it with the book of matches. Shinji went into the kitchen, opened the stove door, and turned on the gas. Shinji ran out of the house and down the street. He was blocks away from the house before he heard a loud explosion from far away.
Shinji walked through alley ways and street corners coming across shanty houses and homeless people. His chest wound dripped blood all over his torso; a trail of blood followed him from the house. He looked around and saw familiar looking houses until he came across one of the houses he had seen his first day there. He stood right before the brothel he had passed with Dyne before. On the building's stoop stood three scantily dressed women and the little blond girl he had seen before. He limped over to them and begged,
"Please tell me, where is doctor Kurasano's office?" One of the women snickered and repeated his plea in a mocking tone.
"By the looks of your wardrobe I don't think you could afford him anyway sugar" she said.
"Just tell me where he his!" shouted Shinji. The three women smirked and another one said,
"Well look at this tough guy! He thinks he can raise his voice to his betters. Should we allow that ladies" she asked as they began surrounding him. The other two women responded with a harmonious
"Noooooo." One smacked Shinji across the face sending him to the ground. The women began stomping on him with their pointy heeled shoes. His beating seemed endless as the women kept stomping on him for a full five minutes. Shinji managed to crawl to his knees and spat out some blood. His eye was swollen shut, and it felt like his chest was caving in which made him believe he had several ribs broken. One woman laughed,
"Oh look, big man here seems to be showing us some respect now. Nice bow kid, it is always best when kids know their place." Shinji licked his busted lip, and replied with an icy glare,
"I will never consider you my better, how could I even consider a used up hooker my equal!" The women snarled at Shinji and walked toward him menacingly but did not get their chance to beat him. The blonde girl that had sat on the stoop before grabbed Shinji by the back of his head by his hair and threw him to the ground. He lied on the cement road sprawled out on his stomach, the girl sat on his back and pinned one of his arms behind him with one hand and the other gripping his hair. She shoved his face into the road and said,
"Shut up, until you can back up those words you need to learn to be quiet! As long as I'm bigger than you, you can consider yourself better than any of us." Shinji glared at her out of the corner of his eye and vowed,
"One day I am going to be bigger than you and I will get even!" She scoffed and said,
"Well until that day comes short stuff…" she grabbed the back of his head and slammed it into the road over and over. A policeman walked out of the brothel and stared at Shinji being beaten by the blond girl. He walked up to them and stepped on Shinji's outstretched hand crushing it underfoot. Shinji let out a cry of pain and the officer said to the girl,
"Move it twerp, I'll take him." The girl got off of Shinji and returned to her stoop, watching the police officer drag him away by what remained of the collar of his shirt. Shinji felt so tired and while being dragged away saw people staring at Shinji as his limp body was dragged down several streets. None of them showed any sympathy, or sadness, or even surprise. They just watched as the police officer dragged him to the remains of an abandoned building and propped him against the wall, leaving him there all alone. Shinji's wounds continued to pour out blood as he sat against the wall trying to heal. He looked around and breathlessly mouthed the word "help" to people who passed him by. His vision was fuzzy because of his loss of blood, and as he looked around he saw buildings turn into headstones, monsters appearing out of no where, and people transforming into demons. Shinji could barely keep his head up and felt sleep about to over take him.
One person who walked past him stopped, looked down, and stared at Shinji. It was too dark to see his face and his vision was too blurry to see it clearly anyway. The man just stood there staring at him for the longest time. Shinji didn't sense any sympathy within the man. He looked the man in the face and said,
"What the hell are you staring at? Haven't you seen someone bleeding before? Why don't you just leave me the hell alone?" He felt the anger build up in the man before him.
"Why you rude little prick! You think you got it rough? Do you believe your problems are so much worse than mine? You're not leaving this shit hole that easily" said the man. He bent over and picked Shinji up carrying bridal style. Shinji felt his arms flail about as the man carried him. He didn't care where he was being taken to, it didn't matter what this man was planning for him, he just hoped it would all be over soon.
