RB Chapter 24 Carnage!

"Do you understand now, why you are still a KID?" Someone in the crowd asked.

"You get to enjoy all our hard work but what exactly are you, the students here giving in return? We might be wanting change, but we at least recognise that your parents, the adults fought to build this city, but what about you all! You simply come here and enjoy all the things coming from our taxes and are doing mostly nothing for us in return! DO! YOU! THINK! THAT'S FAIR!"

By the end, the person's question had managed to even silence the students crowding at the gate.

"That is your job! The moment I grow up, I will take over some of the duties! Just like my parents! You should all remember one thing, we are protecting you! Even though I haven't yet earned that right because, as you've said, am still a KID! But! I will also do the same when I graduate!" She reasoned while pacing around with her hands behind her back.

'What is she thinking? Her reasoning is completely crazy!' Eric thought as he looked at that girl.

Even though she was crazy, a trace of admiration was born in his heart for her.

She faced all those adults without flinching.

"Your entire argument is twisted! That must be how you are in reality! A twisted little girl who was raised wrongly!" An old woman at the front said.

"What! Say it again!" She shouted and crossed the road towards the protesters. Her face was a mask of gloom.

That comment had offended her.

Thankfully, no cars were coming.

As she tried to reach the old woman, a bunch of younger protesters moved to stand in front of her.

What! That was what they were implying with their gazes. They were daring her to attack them.

"Move away! You do know that I can kill all of you in an instant, right?" She threatened.

"Try it!" They all shouted.

Reporters could be seen here and there in the crowd! Her debate had already been live streamed and if she created an incident...

As the standoff was getting nowhere, a hand, descreetly poked out through the crowd and scattered a powder towards her. It was so faint that no one noticed it.

'What is this smell?' She thought as she inhaled some air.

"Anyway, do you really believe you are winning, your faces have all appeared in the media, all I have to do is search using the resources of the clan...and poof! All of you will die, or your loved ones! Do you really want that?" Her voice had lowered.

All of them started trembling but, eventually moved out of her way.

"That's what I thought." She said as she sauntered towards the old woman.

The black pupils of her eyes turned vertical and her eyes glowed yellow!

'She must die! How can she slight me?' The more she thought, the more her emotions got out if control!

At the final step, she had lost all rationality. She had devolved into a rage beast.

The old woman looked up, and was terrified!

The terror stemmed from the fact that the current Elena, was releasing a potent bloodlust!

In this era, instinct had been restored to all lifeforms.

That's why, she sensed her impending doom.

Elena didn't even talk! She crouched next to the old woman, saliva was leaking from her lips!

Her gaze matched that of the old woman!

She moved so fast that the bystanders failed to react!

What they saw after, is a scene which would be seared in their minds!

She had bitten and torn off the old woman's arm!

She chewed on the flesh as blood splattered! No one knew who started, but the crowd started screaming and people pushed their counterparts as they struggled to run away!

The crowd had closed around the moment Elena had entered their midst, so the students, who had crowded at the gate were wondering what was happening the moment the crowd went out of control.

The screams of the crowd got on the now unintelligent Elena's nerves!

It made her so panicked that she left the arm and pounced at the back of one of the people.

Claws were drawn, and the man's clothes were shredded as multiple grooves appeared on his back horizontally.

He collapsed on the back of the person at his front! The force of the blow alone had caused his spinal cord to be severed! He had died instantly.

Once he fell, even more panic ensued as people pushed each other as they tried to run away. A stampede!

Elena shifted her attention...no it was drawn towards a woman who was screaming the loudest!

She appeared in front of her and swiped, causing her head to fly into the sky!

A geiser of blood erupted from the severed neck!

Before the head even dropped, Elena had instantly ended the lives of several more people!

.

One's neck was bleeding out since his windpipe had been bitten! Blood could be seen around Elena's mouth as she went on to attack several more people.

"This girl has become crazy! She is killing people!" A shout from one of the terrified people drew the attentions of the crowd of students towards him.

Many of the students raced out of the gate and ran towards the crowd. Elec and Eric were among them!

'This has just gotten dangerous!'

Elec thought as he ran towards the crowd.

The scene of one of the dead people came into his vision.

The dead woman seemed to be looking at him. Her head had been crashed into the pavement and blood and bits of gooey brain could be seen!

"Mmpf!" Elec hurriedly placed his hand on his mouth!

As the scene continued to be imprinted to his mind, his hands gave way and he vomited on the spot.

Eric was standing at his side, but even he was trying to not look at the corpse.

Many students were in the same situation as Elec. The crowd had cleared and even Elena had vanished.

Blood! The entire pavement was littered here and there with pools of blood, body pieces and other entrails.

About 30ish people had lost their lives on that instant, and some 10ish were injured!

A trail of the dead or injured could be seen following the direction, where most of the crowd had ran towards.

Every student here knew that that's where Elena had gone, but after seeing this...carnage! No one had any guts to follow!

The reporters who had been lucky enough to survive, were busy filming. This had probably turned into breaking news!

Eric took everything in and knew that chaos was coming, sooner than later.

'Why did that girl do that? Even though she has a superiority complex, she isn't one to do this!' This was truly puzzling!

Godfrey was currently racing down the stairs, with his phone on his ear!

His heart was beating in excitement!

'The spark! I don't know what led to this but, there won't be any need to start a fire! The public will do it all by themselves!'

"Did you see the news?" That was the first thing he asked the moment the call connected! He was giddy with excitement!

"Yes. I don't know what led to it, and I don't want to know! Now, we need to move all our preparations forward!"

"First! We must make sure that we capture that girl! We should never let her back into the hands of any of the ten clans! Am currently going to arrange a task force. It should be able to move in about 5 minutes!" The person cut off the call the moment he finished.

'That is right! I must also join in the search for her. We must find her first!' He sped up!

--------

[Breaking news! A student from one of the ten clans, Elena Mpologoma went feral in a fit of rage and attacked the nearby peaceful protesters! About 30 people are dead! And countless more injured!]

A hologram had appeared in front of Baguma, who had been at his desk handling important documents.

He hadn't been watching the live feed.

"Oh!" Surprise leaked out of his mouth when he saw the footage. Even Mr. Lee moved closer.

"It seems chaos is going to arrive faster than planned!" Mr. Lee commented.

"Yes, but, even though that girl is...immature, she wouldn't do something that would destroy her prospects. What do you think happened?" Baguma asked Mr. Lee.

He was in front of him, with a desk between the two.

Baguma's eyes were narrowed. He always had a sneaking suspicion that Mr. Levee was connected to an organisation, and he had been sent as a spy.

When those, 'something movement' people jumped out of the woodwork, he suspected that Mr. Lee had a link to them.

That's why he was searching for any clues from Mr. Lee's facial expresion that it was their work which had resulted in Elena going off the rails.
