The Last Embrace Chapter 140
Advertisement
Fresh tears sprung from Captain Mercado's eyes. Is he really going to die tonight in the hands of this crossbreed? Oh well! Just like what his wife told him before when Major Miller suddenly passed away... 'Life works like that, you're here today gone tomorrow.'
"Since today is my last, can I say g-goodbye to my w-wife and c-children first?" he broke down, his voice was trembling.
"I'm sorry, I can't allow you to do that, don't worry I will bring your dead body to your house after I'm done killing you," she said.
Captain Mercado calmed his nerves. He never expected he will die tonight, he was expecting he will die in the line of duty, but not here, this place is so quiet as if the wind and the trees refused to even move an inch.
So eerie and quiet place to die.
"Uncle, I will go for a walk around the park and after I come back, you should have chosen the best way to die, think carefully," Jessy said, she freezes his mouth so that he can't shout for help but he can move his neck though, she rose to her feet and sauntered away from the captain.
The Captain's eyes were following her...
While she was walking near the bushes... a dark figure suddenly lunged at the crossbreed taking her by surprise...Captain Mercado saw an object glimmered in the light that was caught by the light in the lamp post, it's a knife! The man was holding a knife and slits the crossbreed's throat without warning! He saw the woman crumbled into the ground grasping her neck with her hands probably trying to stop the blood from gushing out from her neck.
Dammit, he can't even move a muscle!
Jessy was lying in the ground holding her neck, her hands already wet with her own blood, damn! that psycho killer on the loose took her by surprise, where is that bastard!? Then she saw her attacker wearing a black hood covering his face, holding the bloodied knife in his right hand, walking calmly towards Captain Mercado...he will kill the captain next. Right before the guy can lunge at the captain, Jessy waved her hand freezing him instantly on the spot.

Done freezing the serial killer she lies down on the grass calming the erratic beating of her heart and she shuts her eyes. Dammit! Why did she fail to see that psycho hiding behind the bushes? Was she dumb and stupid? she scolded herself.
While she was lying in the ground motionless...
Captain Mercado, was staring at the crossbreed...is she still alive or dead? Why she's no longer moving after freezing the guy? Damn! The irony of things...he's supposed to be killer was killed by a random serial killer on the loose! As he was staring at the murderer in front of him holding the knife in his right hand, he came to realized that if the crossbreed didn't freeze the killer on time there will be two dead people lying tonight in the park, him and the crossbreed.
What now?
People will be shocked to see the bloody scene tomorrow in the park.
They will see two people in a freeze estate and a dead woman lying in the ground covered by her own blood, her throat was slit by the killer's knife. How he will explain all these? And who will unfreeze them when the crossbreed was already dead?
Captain Mercado groaned in despair. Crap! This is absurd!
He doesn't want to be in the frozen state when the sun shines tomorrow, this is humiliating!
Then out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the crossbreeds hands moving towards her neck...Oh... God! she's still alive!
Then to his amazement, the crossbreed stood up as if nothing happens...unbelievable!
Jessy was staring at the pool of blood on the ground, dang! She loses a lot of blood today, what a waste! the amount of blood that was being wasted could have transformed at least two vampires today! Shiit!
She waved her hand on the area where her blood was soaking the ground to wipe away the evidence, it looks clean now and not a single drop of blood can be seen. Satisfied, she walked towards the serial killer her eyes were burning with rage.

When she was already facing the guy, she unfreezes his head and pushes away the hood from his eyes and she stared into the murderer's eyes. She snatches the knife that the guy was holding in his hand and using the same knife she slit his throat two times, the blood splattered on Jessy and the captain's faces.
Then she unfreezes the serial killer and he crumbled into the ground holding his neck trying to stop the blood from flowing from his neck.
A moment later...the killer's body spasm and twisted...then he died on the spot staring at Jessy's face...on his last breath he was confused why the woman was still alive, the cut he made on her neck was too deep it would be impossible for her to be alive! Then why? before he passes away, he saw the triumphant smirk in her eyes, he never knew that he would die in the hands of his latest victim #25.
Jessy unfreezes captain Mercado's mouth. "I changed my mind, I will no longer kill you tonight, I will give you one last chance just for the sake of your children and wife, I warned you again for the last time...do not attack the Facility! If you can do that I will never bother you again...I will leave you alone," she put the knife on the ground, she waved her hand erasing her fingerprints on the knife.
"You can improvise the story, let's just say you come here in the park to take a walk and you were attacked by the serial killer and you killed him out of self-defense, you know the drill better than I do. Good luck!" Jessy said, she waved her right hand on the Captain unfreezing him and then she completely disappeared from his sight before he can even move a muscle.
Captain Mercado rose to his feet and deliver a heavy kick on the serial killer's stomach. "That's for you for trying to kill me! Asshole!" he picked up the knife and slashed the killer's neck one time, just to give authenticity to his story tomorrow.
He picked up his cellphone from the pocket of his trouser and call the nearest police station to report the crime that has been happening in the park, done with his call, he roamed his eyes around the park, there's no CCTV camera near the area where the crime took place, great!
Perfect crime!
As he was staring at the face of the serial killer he was wondering how many people he just killed in the last ten months?
He was shaking his head...
By the way, where is the crossbreed?
Gone!
He doesn't know if he will be thankful to her for saving him or not?
But for now, he was thankful to God that he was still alive!
He sat down on the concrete bench and relaxes while waiting for the cops arrival, then he shuts his eyes to catch a few minutes of sleep, he released a deep sigh, there will be media circus tomorrow, he groaned.

Dominion Expansion (a 4X LitRPG)
Clay is one of the world's top players of 4X games, a genre where the goal is to eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate. He's also one of the only players in the world to so stubbornly stick to the one city strategy, a favorite tactic of his that involves only ever using a single city or planet depending on the game's setting. All that matters to him is winning with his favorite strategy, but earning the respect of his fellow players for taking a sub-optimal strategy to its highest level has always been a nice bonus. And now it is because of his skill and entertaining determination that he has been chosen to represent a higher realm in a strategy game where the fate of Earth and dozens of other worlds are at stake. To the victor goes the spoils, and the spoils include entire worlds and billions of lives. That's how he ends up representing the ascended realm of Hell in a grand "game" between an entire pantheon of godly beings and other higher powers. But while it may just be a game to those overseeing it, it is a genuine war for survival to those participating in it where billions of real lives will go to the victor of whoever wins, and many will die before the game is over. Quick Author's Notes: System inspired by Civilization, Endless Legend, Stellaris, and Crusader Kings 2. Combat mechanics inspired by the Total War series. Slow-paced with many long-term plans. Protagonist has a personality heavily inspired by Ron Swanson. Know who that is and love him? You should like Clay. Know who Ron Swanson is and hate him? You'll probably hate Clay. Planning on writing every single day (turn). Days with important things happening will have the system/game mechanics be the priority of the chapter. Days where there isn't really anything important happening will be more slice-of-life and focused on character interactions. Designed a dice-based randomized map generator to create the world as the story goes on, so I don't even know myself exactly what's going to happen as a lot is dependent on world generation. Tech tree with hundreds of technologies already designed. There is a "harem," but it's not the main focus, the girls won't be cardboard cutouts, and I'm not going to completely forget about any previous women in the relationship whenever a new one comes along. One last thing. The "game" starts off with primitive technology level. The current plan is for the "endgame" tech level to be equivilent to WW2-era technology. After that and war just gets boring until you end up in space. Cover is temporary and made from royalty-free stock images while waiting for the real cover's commission to finish.
