Chapter Thirty Seven: Insanity
Black's POV
That hallucination really stirred me last night! Haha! I thought I ended up killing someone while I was asleep!... I shouldn't really be making jokes like these right after someone's death... Well, at least they're not literally 'dead'. According to Drago, they'll come back to life and spectate us from wherever he and the rest are.
Pushing that aside, I don't think anyone has really spoken ever since that siren sounded last night. Or was it HOW they found the body? I'm not too sure... But if it was the body, then I'm lucky that I didn't see it. I'd go insane in the blink of an eye and kill everyone within range of my fingertips...
I ventured through the corridors of the first floor which was the 'normal' floor that had the kitchen, living room, a large bathroom with stools, a game room and finally, a storage room. Upstairs was where we all sleep. One half for the boys and another for the girls. In almost every room, there were around three people all sitting about, holding conversations with each other and another time when I walked passed the living room, I overheard four people accuse me for the murder...
I don't blame them. It's natural to blame the ones who weren't with the group... But the only ones absent were me AND that guy. Jace isn't included since he helps Drago run the show... Maybe it was something out of the ordinary?... But still... That blood from last night is still bitting at me like a parasite. Even if it was just a mere hallucination... And what's even more scary is that it occurred right when that guy died. Anyway, it's just a coincidence no matter how you look at it.
"Frost!", I heard someone call out my name from behind me, making me stand my ground abruptly in the long hallway that led towards the girl's dorms which was a golden door to the left up ahead. Quickly, I put on my biggest and friendliest smile possible before I spun around majestically on my heels to face Lizzo who power walked up towards me with haste. "C'mon Frost! It's breakfast! Hurry or else you'll miss out like last night!", She announced, stopping in front of me as she clamped both her hands around my right hand tightly. Her hands were warm and very cosy, making my soul calm down to the very brim. She pulled my hand up close to her heart, smiling vividly as I jolted with shock to her sudden movement. What is Lizzo trying to pull off right now? "Let's go! Melody is going to eat my plate if I don't go back!", She cried, taking a step back as she tugged on my hand ferociously. Eh?
"W...Wait a second! I need to get something from my bed!", I stated honestly, trying to pull my arm back but to no avail due to how tough she truly was. Too bad for her, she doesn't know about her true abilities.
"Froooosssttt! I don't want her to eat my food!", She winged like a child, tugging twice as hard, making me take three noisy steps forward as she took three pleasant steps back.
"Then go by yourself! I need to grab something quick! I promise it'll take no longer than two minutes!", I announced, pulling my arm five times harder than I should've before suddenly, she let of of my hand, causing me to topple over onto the shiny white tilled corridor on my back harmlessly... Argh!
"Promise?", She asked me with an innocent tone of voice as she gave me the 'eyes', forcing me to reply with no other than "yes". "Then I'll come with you!", She said happily... Ahh! She may be my twin sister and all, but she's nothing like me! She's almost like Frosty for crying out loud! Except Frosty's a lot more civil and we both understand each other almost PERFECTLY.
With a quiet grunt of pain, I pushed myself up from the ground and back onto my feet, letting of a sigh of annoyance before I turned around and made my way up towards the dorm. Lizzo followed me in suit like a shadow, sending strange vibes down my spine as we got closer and closer towards the room... Soon I realised that the chills I received were because of something I felt inside of there... Phase? No. She's with Yellow right now having a bath. Someone must be inside. Maybe Chaos? I don't know... But if I have a bad feeling about anything, then there's a probability that I'm right by eighty percent...
I stood before the door, holding onto the golden, horizontal handle with my right hand as Lizzo stood directly behind me, holding onto my left shoulder with both her hands as she peeked pass my head... Something feels off inside. But I can't figure what. But all I know is that someone is inside. There's no doubt about that. Heck, I can even hear the creaking of the wooden floorboards inside!... Still... I have to make sure and take precaution.
"Lizzo, step aside. We have to be careful", I warned and at once, she let go of my shoulder as she moved to the left of me and the door. I took in a deep breath of air through my nose, exhaling it all out soon after before I finally pulled the handle downwards very slowly... A louder creak emitted from inside, tempting me to rush in but I resisted the urge to do so... Dammit... I'm better off kicking the door straight open!
Softly, I pushed the door an inch off the frame, making it creak quietly as I lifted up my right leg and sent a decimating push kick to the door, causing it to fling open and smash against the walls from within... Unfortunately for me, I ended up slipping backwards due to he immense force of the kick, making me fall down onto my butt as the back of my head slammed against the wall as suddenly, before my very eyes a massive, iron cylinder-shaped object connected via a wooden beam from above hurdled straight for my face with lightning speed... I was completely petrified... I couldn't move an inch as I watched it hurdle towards me...
White's POV
Woah! The castle's shaking?! What was that loud bang?! I need to go check it out! I excused myself from the table, pushing my chair back before I dashed for the door with lightning, unparalleled speed. Once I made it past the archer doorway and into the living room, I turned left and entered a long hallway that led towards a set of golden stairs to the upper floor. I'm more than certain that I heard the explosion emit from upstairs. I need to hurry!
"FROST! Snap out of it! It missed you! Please snap out!", I heard Lizzo scream from right above in a muffled manner, causing my heart to skip a beat... Something happened to Black! As fast as I could, I sprinted up to the stairs and jumped a whopping seven steps as I continued my journey up to the second floor. I took a sharp right, continuing the flight before I finally made it to the top. I inhaled a heavy amount of debris the moment I made it, causing me to enter an unbearable convulsion of coughs. Extending my right hand in front of me, I used a simple magic blast to vanquish the toxic gas permanently, allowing me to take in a deep breath of fresh air that cleansed my lungs entirely... "What's wrong Frost?! Why won't you answer?! Frost!", Lizzo cried at the far end of the hallway where she knelt down in front of Black who lay unmoving underneath a giant dark silver hammer that impaled more than half of itself into the tiled wall... Did she... Get hit by that?!
"Lizzo! What happen to Black?!", I yelled in pure shock and horror the moment my eyes caught a glimpse of blood splattered all over the floor.
"Hey! What happened?!". Someone said from behind me as an army of footsteps approached, followed with surprised gasps and yelps of terror the moment they saw Black...
"Help! Someone please help her! She won't react to anything!", Lizzo cried, shaking Black vividly by the shoulders. She didn't react at all...
I grit my teeth, launching myself forwards with light speed up toward them both with loud stomps. As I reached the two metre mark, I stopped and dropped down to my knees to the horrific sight that consisted of Black's innards showing slightly as well as a mass amount of blood leaking from her forehead... The tiles on the wall spiked out dangerously and threatened anyone who dared to come too close... Black had a blank look in her eye. Like she was lost inside of another world... She trembled, staring at nothing whilst blood escaped from her open wound and pooled underneath her, reflecting the ceiling and myself in the deepest shade of red... What's... Happened to her?
"Someone left a note inside of the room! And it's for Black from someone named Insane"... Someone yelled from inside of the room...
"Read it out! We all need to hear it! Give it to Black when she regains her composure", Vortex demanded aloud from my direct left... Black...
"If you insist! Ahem!", The man cleared his throat, exiting the room with loud footsteps as his boots crunched on the tiles that were scattered all over the floor in millions of pieces. "It's been a while Black since you've let me out to taste the sweet blood of the mortal. You know how badly I've been waiting for this game to come. I want to express my true nature towards everyone I love and hate. Milk's flesh was the sweetest and tenderest of them all, but I bet Mindy's one would've been the jackpot... Anyway, how's Mindy? Is she alright? Please let me know... I've been lonely without anything to interact with... Everyone in this place are afraid of me. Even when I don't have any intentions to harm them... For one final time, let me express myself to everyone here to the fullest... I'm sure they'll love it. Love you Frost Richtofen! Or is it Black? I hardly even look at you so either one is fine. Oh, I almost forgot, the blood that was all over your hands last night belonged to that guy who died. I saw you watch him commit suicide with a wide smile plastered across your pretty face... Good girl"...
"NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!", Black screamed, gritting her teeth in terror as the colour came back to her eyes along with realisation hitting her as hard as
a boulder strapped with dynamite. She raised both her hands up to her face and trembled with widened, horrified eyes that gave off a small, faint glow as I watched her with terror, unable to comprehend her sudden actions. "LIES! LIES! LIES!".
"Take your sister to our room. We'll take care of her. As for the note, whoever sent that must be the one who set the trap", Chaos stated from behind with a strong tone of seriousness as Milk immediately agreed.
"I'll come as well. White, you come as well just in case something happens to her. Everyone else, pretend this never happened and be careful. We don't want to find anymore bodies", Milk said with a slight tremble loudly. She's frightened... So am I. I've never seen Black like this ever before...
"LIZZO! STAY AWAY FROM ME! DON'T! DON'T DON'T! AHHHHH! AHHHHH! AHH-", Vortex dashed in and pulled Lizzo away from Black who lost control of her thoughts right before ending her cried with a press of her thumb against her soft, tender neck that was soaked with her own blood... She lay limp, unmoving and lifeless. Almost replicating a corpse, except for the fact that she was still breathing... What's happened to her?!
Milk's POV
The basement has been unlocked, and I've ventured down there thoroughly with White and Sino to find nothing but a chamber that had many operating beds and platefuls of various materials. Gun powder, iron, gold, you name it! Heck, there's even diamonds down there! The door that leads to this place was made purely out of iron that looked impenetrable and could only be opened from the outside, making me believe that it's some sort of prison...
I've spoken to Chaos about this, and he thinks that it's best to put Black inside there to make sure that she doesn't cause any trouble. I was against it at first but in the end, I agreed... I know she'll understand... After all, she's almost completely insane. And once she does become complete, then it's game over for us all.
Black's POV
"How do you feel?", White asked me as she sat on a comfortable, luxurious wooden chair to my left right beside my head.
I smiled softly, slowly blinking as Phase wrapped her arms around my fully healed stomach passionately before I answered.
"Great", I said groggily, still wary about my condition as even a fright could send me down a one-way trip to insanity.
"That's good to hear. I'm glad that you're feeling better. I was so worried about you when I saw you right under that hammer", She chuckled cutely, making me smile to how much of a great friend she was...
"Mhm. Don't worry about me White. You should go do something with the others instead of watching me all day long with Lizzo and Phase", I said to her, thinking if I should tell her something that I've been holding onto in my mind for quiet some time.
"I can't have fun when you're not around. I care a lot about you Black and I want the best for you"... I'm glad... I'm so glad... "Can I sleep with you here tonight? I get lonely without you sometimes", She blushed in slight embarrassment as I giggled to how cute she looked.
"Sure", Was my reply as I heard Lizzo mumble something in her sleep to my far right on another hospital-like bed... I should tell her now... "White..."... Actually... I'd rather not tell her... I'll let her figure it out by herself. "Let's stay to the very last and win this".
"Yep! We'll definitely make it! And we'll have an all out battle without any interruptions at the destroyed city not too far from here", She stated, suddenly triggering a small portion of my insanity the moment those amazing words left her soft, amazing lips... Oh no... "I'll be sure to even use my ultimate moves on you as well! I can't wait!"... Ack! Why is this... Triggering my insanity?!... Oh no... No... No... "Then we'll go and fight the three kingdoms", NO!... This shouldn't be happening! I'm... I'm... "Together"... Those final words echoed violently through my ears as I began to hyper ventilate, smiling at her brightly to how beautiful she truly looked... The trigger has been pulled... There's no stopping now... Haha... Ahahaha!
I crackled, lifting myself up as Phase's soft hands let go of my body, allowing me to easily pull off my covers while White gave me a strange, curious stare... Her red eyes are so pretty... She's like a doll... Just like Mindy! As fast as lightning, I flung myself off the bed and charged into her, grasping onto her neck with both my hands as we both plummeted down to the hard stone ground with a loud thud. Tears poured out of my eyes as I choked the poor White who stared into my eyes with sorrow and confusion, not knowing what was going on nor HOW I was able to muster that much speed in a split second. I sat above her, rubbing myself against her stomach pleasurably as I enjoyed watching her desperately reach for air with painful gargles and coughs. Ahahaha! She's so cute when she's about to die! But I won't be killing her just yet! We have a long way to go! I'm going to show her all the pleasures of the world! Ahahaha! I'll kill Lizzo first! Then I'll kill everyone else! Hahahaha!
"I'm sorry White! But I can't hold it in anymore! You triggered me and now look at me! My teeth are as sharp as razor blades and I take pleasure from pain! This is your fault! Now take RESPONSIBILITY my White! My precious White!", I cried demoniacally, leaning down as I licked her slowly facing face with my wet, warm, slimy tongue which caused her to flush a deep red. Ahahaha! She's so pitiful! "Phase! I have knowledge! I can make you a mortal!", I claimed before White finally passed out. She's too weak when she's attacked without warning! "TONIGHT EVERYONE WILL DIE BUT FOR WHITE! EVERYONE I KNOW WILL DIE IN THIS VERY FLOOR! THE REST WILL SUFFER!", I screamed out at the top of my lungs, shaking the entire castle vividly which caused Lizzo to awaken... Hehe... Looks like she's in for a world of pain!
I'LL BE WAITING FOR WHITE AT THE CITY! AHAHAHAHA!
