After this, one more chapter probably, I don't know right now.
Scyrus' P.O.V
I clenched my teeth and waited for the spearing pain of hot lead tearing through me, but it never came. I opened my eyes and looked down, where there should have been bloody holes, there were wispy holes. They looked like smoke rings over my body.
I felt near them and saw the smoke flow into the holes and I was fine. I let out a chuckle and looked up "hey, Violet, look at this! I'm invincible." She was lying, bleeding, on the ground of the cave. I should have realized it, but my brain short circuited.
I turned her face to me and saw her eyes closed and her hair matted to her forehead with blood. "hey, violet… wake up, this is pretty cool" I shook her shoulders and saw a drop of liquid fall from my face onto her shirt. I felt my cheek and it was damp with tears.
"hmm, tears. Why am I crying? You are fine, aren't you?" I shook her more and found myself laughing, losing control of myself. I stood up and looked to the firing squad, my laughing increased in volume until it stopped altogether. I closed and opened my mouth with a grin stretched across my face.
"hmm, this is new. For what it's worth, I tried to stop him." Then I felt something I had never felt before, the thing that took control of me gave me the control back. I looked at my hand and a similar smoke from before was drifting around it.
I closed my hand and felt something leather appear in my grip. I looked and it appeared to be a solid black knife. I weighed it in my hand and it felt nearly weightless. I looked at the rest of my body and breathed out.
I felt ethereal as my entire body turned into the smoke. I took a cautious step foreward and then broke into a sprint. I felt the air flowing through me along with the new hail of bullets from the shocked soldiers. I focused on my knife and it solidified.
I brought it down on one of the soldiers while running at full tilt, It cut clean through the man. I watched the bullets go through me harmlessly. I turned to the next one and leapt, my new form drifted through the air weightlessly. I came down on the grunt and drove the blade into his heart.
I ran from grunt to grunt, constantly shifting the density of my body to avoid bullets. When the last armed man fell I breathed in and felt my body solidify. I looked to the CEO and dropped the knife to the floor, it dissipated into the shadows upon contact with the floor.
Stay still, this is the end,
Just accept what will happen to you friend
Either way, flesh will rend
But, in your eyes I can see your fear.
You know what is coming near
Don't deny it, you know you hurt her.
Goddamn bloody murderer.
Don't even try to hit me, save your bullets.
This body's made of shadow, you can't kill it.
Honestly I'm surprised you're even trying,
Like you aren't even that scared of dying.
You're not gonna win, we won't leave together
You'll certainly burn in hell forever
But, don't wait long after I beat ya'
I'll be down right quick to meet ya'
This is where it stops, this is now the end.
This isn't a game, you don't get to try again.
You wonder "why this sudden attack?"
The reason is there, lying on her back.
Don't even try to hit me, save your bullets.
This body's made of shadow, you can't kill it.
If you think you can bring me to mercy,
You have never even seen this me.
You know the reason we are both here.
But all I see now is your fear.
I am the darkness, I am the shadow, I am pure rage
You know by now that this is true,
Now, and forever, I am stronger than you.
A rifle lay on the ground, surrounded by empty casings. It's previous owner was tied in the mouth of the cave by shadowy tendrils. I stood in front of the CEO and looked him in the eyes and held up my hand in his view.
He shook his head rapidly and tried to find any mercy, any humanity, left in my eyes. Behind him, the sun was setting, the sky was turning all kinds of red and orange. As soon as the last light disappeared on the horizon, I snapped my fingers.
The tendrils pulled and the man was torn in two, horizontally. The tendrils disappeared and I turned around, walked over to violet, took the necklace from around her neck, and screamed.
Aaand now you get the chapter title (I hope)
