《PERCEPTION (A New Begining)》109. Hide 'N Seek

Oh, now this is interesting!
What came to greet me wasn't a tactical trained group of agents but rather a gang of teens and young adults who all wore similar uniforms to me.
"You, you said you knew where she was?"
"The commander said her name was Veronica, right? So you know where Veronica is?"
"Hey, guys. doesn't he look familiar?"
"Yeah, he's the person who crippled Trevor, fought Red, and almost killed Gale."
One person stepped out in front of the group. "That's what I thought. Funny thing is I don't remember seeing him when the commander showed up. Did any of you see him in there?" The rest of the group shook their heads but the speaker didn't even bother to look. "That's what I thought. So here's what's going to happen. You'll tell us where she is and we'll be the ones to take her to the commander and get the reward. In return we won't hurt you, we won't even say anything to the commander about you. You know I'm not lying since if I told him about you then we might not be the ones to get the reward. So, sound like a deal?"
He. He, he, he-he, "Hm. Ha, ha-ha-hm. It's been too long since I've killed children."
"What the fuck did you--" unable to finish his sentence, the sound of him choking on his own blood snapped some of the others back to reality.
With a slight tug, the knife rips out of his throat. Oh, he's trying to run, better take out his legs. Damn, I hit higher than I wanted, he'll bleed out too fast.
She looks young. I'll save her for last.
"Stop trying to run." So pitiful, it only takes a deep slash to their backs and they drop like the worthless animals they are. It's only a little bit of pain.

Let's see, where did that young one go?
"Please, not her, anything but my sister!"
Family is it? Then I'll make it special. Nice, and, slow.
"Isn't it amazing, that sound? When someone is doing everything in their power to take just one breath." I continued to pull the chain tighter around her neck. The sound of metal rubbing metal was almost as loud as her pitiful attempts to grasp air. "All you have is a little cut on your back, yet you lay there and watch as she dies?"
He musters enough strength to stand, ready to charge me.
SNAP!
It didn't take me long to snap her neck. Just had to stomp on her head and pull a little. "Oh sorry, did you think I was going to wait on you?"
My knife slams into his head, I had made sure not to cut him.
BOOM! Crack.THUD.
I beat the now only child down until he was nothing but a pulsating lump of ground beef. "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. Your sisters going to do that." I drag her body and place it on top of him, her throat over his face. I dig into her neck puncturing her jugular and make sure it's positioned right over his mouth.
Now that I've had an appetizer I can't wait for more! If that can even be called an appetizer, not one of them used and ability. All that talk and they got cold feet, or maybe I killed them too fast.
Pathetic! Pathetic, pathetic! Where are the agents? All I've been killing so far is the fucking kids. It's only fun for a little bit, they all follow the same patterns. Run, hide, get found, sudden burst of courage, death. As much as I would love to play this game all day I need to kill those fucking agents or I'll never get out of here. This is finally my chance to kill the motherfuckers who trapped me here... That reminds me of something.

Her room was around here somewhere. Oh, here it is. The body's here too, perfect. "You know bitch, you don't look half bad. Too bad you were always in a fuckin' box, you even died in it. I would have loved to get my hands on you before you died." I spoke as my knife cut up the middle of her shirt. "But I'll make do with what I have left."
"Who the fuck is that."
"Is that a body? Why is he dragging a body around?"
"Why is she naked?"
"You don't think that's..."
"Oh, I think I'm going to... Beuuuurk"
Unable to stop the smile forming on my face I turned my head to whisper to the carcass. "The great thing about being in a box is that no one knows what you look like, none of the underlings that is."
She must have only weighed 130Ibs but she felt heavier despite the blood loss due to the drag her strung out intestines were creating.
"Hey guys, I found Veronica so let's take her back to the commander! He'll probably want to know what happened to her." I wasn't able to find where the commander was with that bitch's cameras but I was able to find this large group. They have to know where the commander is.
"That's not Veronica." A path opened up in the group as everyone moved out of someone's way. Before I could clearly make out who it was I had already figured it out. I've only ever seen one woman in here who was that shiny. Her wet clothes hugged her body as she confidently walked towards me.
If I had my way anyone with a body like her's wouldn't be able to walk without looking over her shoulder, but that would be hard to do considering I can't touch her.
She stopped a few feet before me and spoke loudly so everyone could hear her, "That's the Warden."
"Well, technically it's the Wardens body!"
"I knew you weren't right in the head since you picked a fight with me, but I didn't know you were a sick fuck too."
"Sigh, of course, a cunt like you is still alive. I guess my plan is ruined now!"
"I'm not stupid, you know they would have attacked you if they believed that was Veronica. The commander did say he wanted her alive."
"It was a little too obvious I was trying to provoke them, wasn't it. However, you did change one thing in my plan."
"It working?"
"He-he, no. Who I'm keeping alive to take me to the commander." As I spoke I charged her while dodging the sweat she slung at me. Running past her I could see the confused look on her face as my blade touched her skin, but didn't cut her. "Thanks for the help!"
Swirling it around me in a wide circle It cut some people and bumped off others, but the one common factor in everyone who was touched by it was the screams of agony.

#Call Cthulhu
An eldritch comedy. After Cthulhu is summoned into the world, the whole place goes to shit. Things really got out of hand after Cthulhu got nuked. Alex and Julius, a pair of brothers, try their best to make it in a North America reshaped by an eldritch apocalypse. “Stop right there Philip!” Julius interrupted, the vein on his temple starting to throb. “I do not want to hear another simile about what magic is. I have had magic explained to me by three cult leaders, a wizard, and a cannibal. I've heard that magic is like a rainbow, all its parts blending together. The human unconsciousness, powerful and unknowable. A body, you don't want to eat the heart straight away. I am sick and tired of people telling me what magic is. I know damn well what it is.” He drew a breath, interrupting his rant. “Magic is a bad joke. A whole lot of setup, for some nonsense punchline. This whole god-damned apocalypse is an eldritch comedy.”
