Blood was dripping from the ceiling and dropping just below my eye, it slid down my cheek and onto my pillow.
Eyes filled with terror stared back at me, whoever it was they were still alive, their mouth open as if in mid-scream.
My heart raced and all I could hear were the whispers and cries that belonged to many.
They begged to be released, begged for it to end, yet they were never answered, never helped and I had to hear it all.
I closed my eyes and thought about being back in my bed, without all the blood and without all the whispering.
Slowly opening my eyes I was forced to squint past the sun, I rose from my bed with a grunt and a sharp pain that ran up my leg. As my eyes adjusted I was met with a face.
"Howdy! Heard ya needed a splint...soo I got cha' one, sorry if ain't ta ya likin', ya know the color bein' blue n' all" He pulled out a splint and started attaching it to my leg.
"So wha type of cereal do ya like? I like dem...the ones that are super sugary, ya know what I mean?" I nodded although I was unsure what brand he meant by 'the super sugary ones'.
"Well up ya go now!" He grabbed my hands and pulled me up to my feet "weeeee!" he spun me around a bit before letting me stand still "ya leg feel better lil one?"
He held out his hand "the name's Darren but my friends call me Duck, so I guess you can call me Duck!" he grabbed my hand and shook it "let's go get breakfast!"
Duck and I headed downstairs but sitting on the couch was GraveRobber who hopped right up at the sight of us "KID! Great, glad you're up, now listen you, me and Duck here are gonna go on an adventure today."
I stared at him with the greatest 'wtf' face I could pull off, the smile on his face slowly went away as we decided to stare at each other.
Before either of us could blink or gain dominance over the other Mag came into the room "she will go with you Graverobber but only if she wants to, you can't force Shi to go wherever you want now."
GR (Graverobber) looked up at her with a fake sad look on his face as if he was a puppy that just got kicked. "But Mag...I like telling her what to do" the sadness went away as he opened the back door and walked outside.
"If you want to come along just follow Duck!" Duck stared at me with a huge smile that was missing a few teeth, I looked at Mag with a questioning look "you can join him if you want dear."
I sighed and took Duck's hand.
GR had led us to a small convient store where a woman behind the counter smoked a cigarette and read a magazine.
Duke had grabbed a shopping cart and started dragging me up and down the aisles "time to go shopping" the whole way here he had a smile plastered to his face and even now it held on strong unless he was busy thinking.
It was as if he was infected by some sort of smiling disease...the poor man. "Do you like this type of cereal?" I looked at it and realized that I never really had any sort of cereal before "Yeah...I love it" Ducky grabbed a bunch of cereal boxes like it and dumped them into the cart.
He pulled out a grocery list and started grabbing the needed items, GR had gone across the street to the empty gas station and was filling Jerry cans (those little/big red things you fill up with gas I guess?).
What felt like an hour or two had finally passed we made our way to the counter, the girl lazily checked out the items and scanned them "that will be 245 and 87 cents sir" Ducky went into his pockets and pulled out a gun.
"It seems like I forgot my wallet miss...guess I'll just have to take some of your money to make up for it..." with a smile on his face he shot the girl in the face who only had a chance to take a single step back. Blood splattered all over and it was personally a sort of gross sight.
Ducky jumped over the counter and started taking all the cash his bag could fill, he even started taking things like candy bars and cigarettes with him.
"Hey pal...could ya be a dear and grab another cart and fill it with stuff?" Ducky grabbed the girls cigarette and put it out "you can just leave that one there for me darling."
I nodded and did as he asked "make sure you get pretty much the same stuff we just got, stuff in some extras if you can, don't worry if we need another cart or even two more. We just gotta get this place empty."
Ducky grabbed another cart and walked down the aisles while examining the items and taking them, once four carts were filled up and the store was left it only scraps of paper we left the area.
GR followed behind us with Jerry cans all over him "well that was a great mission right kid? now you have all the chocolate a kid could want!" I helped push the carts and thought "you guys think anyone will care about that girl being dead?" GR and Ducky hummed "nah...we always do our research on people."
Sorry if this is short by the time I'm writing this it's like 10pm and I'm pretty tired plus my keyboard runs on batteries now and I don't really want to waste the batteries too much. I kinda want them to last more than a week. I really do hope you enjoy the character Ducky!
