《Painting Horrors》Hide and Seek
Advertisement
Gabriel took out the painting of the teacher and summoned the ghost. As the ghost came out it seemed more passive now, although it still wanted to kill Gabriel it didn't act on its desire impulsively and followed his command loyally. "I like the way you think now, be more like this and you'll be even better." Gabriel simply smiled as he saw the attitude of the ghost, and commented nonchalantly. He knew the reason behind why the ghost behaved like this, one it was because he simply could forcefully control the ghost, and two it was because as he got stronger the ghosts were less likely to attack him and follow him. "Now, I need you to get the man who pushed the woman and ran away for me." Gabriel ordered and the ghost's body melted into a blood pool and it flowed everywhere through the slums. "I wonder how long it'll take for the man to be caught." Gabriel passively commented as he saw the blood split through everywhere.
There was the sound of intense breathing and huffing as Judas ran through the alleys, suddenly the dark alleys seemed even scarier it was like a shadowy death that could consume him at any time. Through the 5 minutes of running Judas had the time to think over what had happened, why did he push his fiancee was it because of his self preservation or was he selfish and had just pushed her because he was fed up with her? As these thoughts ran through his head, he cursed under his breath, "It was just something out of instinct, I couldn't control it, she should be happy. It's the greatest as a couple that one is willing to die for one another." As Judas tried to convince himself that he did the right thing he heard the sound of gushing. Every noise was amplified across the quiet alleys and he was honestly lost because he fled in a random direction when he pushed his fiancee. "Why is there the sound of water running through the alleys? There shouldn't be any unless.." As Judas thought about this he saw a red liquid in the alley, it was very conspicuous as it was just a piece of red compared to the darkness. When he saw this red liquid he was scared, because it looked exactly like blood, so he decided to flee again but it seemed like the red liquid was following him. He kept turning back and every time he turned back it seemed like the red liquid was getting closer and at the same time was getting bigger. "What do you want? Please spare me, I'll do anything." As Judas ran he noticed that was he was getting more tired and eventually the red liquid would consume so he decided to beg for the slight chance of survival. When he said that it seemed like the red liquid stopped so he stopped too in case of angering the being behind this.

Ever since the red liquid first spotted Judas, Gabriel was notified of this too so he simply followed the track of where Judas had fled off to. It took 10 minutes to reach the spot where Judas was at and he was grinning when he saw Judas on the floor prostrating to the red liquid. He controlled the ghost teacher who was the red liquid and the red liquid started shifting into the shape of what she normally looked like. Judas was quite shocked when he saw everything that was happening. He never believed in the super natural until now, and he was even more shock when he saw the young man in blood, it seemed like he was controlling the lady in red. "Please.. sir, spare me I'll do anything." Judas begged and sobbed to Gabriel, but Gabriel didn't seem interested in his proposal. "I can't spare you mister." Gabriel calmly stated and when Judas heard this heart dropped, he tried to pick himself off the ground but the lady in red's right arm transformed into a gigantic hand made out of blood and slammed him back down onto the ground. His ribs cracked and he felt like he was gonna die, blood flowed out from his eyes and mouth. "You should be happy that you witnessed such beauty, it'll be better than dying a dog's death out there, at least you'll see something beautiful when you die." As Gabriel knew the man on the ground was going to die soon, he took out the painting of the siblings. He grabbed the man's head up and forcefully opened his eyes so he could look at the painting. When Judas saw the painting of the siblings he was scared it felt like the people inside the painting were real and wanted to kill him just like the lady in red and the young man, but the painting had a wicked beauty. "I'm so scared but this painting is so beautiful what a duality of contrast." As this last thought ran through his head the painting turned into tiny tentacles and sucked his life away leaving him an empty husk, the same fate as his fiancee.

UPDATES WEEKLY The world of Hero: Generation diverges from our own in the 1970s on a night known as “The Aurora Event”. Beautiful and luminescent weather phenomena covered the planet, for ten short minutes every corner of the Earth was underneath a cascade of lights in the sky. It was days later before reports began to filter in, more than could be suppressed by Governments and Nations. The Alphas had arrived. A small percent of the global population began to exhibit otherworldly and super natural abilities, changing the course of humanity. The Vietnam Occupation ended over night, as each ruling nation took action to respond. In the coming years Alphas would begin to change the globe. Russia eventually became an Alpha nation ruled by a mysterious figure only known as Father Winter. America, Europe, and Australia become even larger superpowers as their Alpha populations exploded, in time a United Nations force known as The Guardians was established to police and document the Alpha emergence. The worlds foremost expert in Alpha studies, Dr. Pavel Laghari invented a system known as the Laghari Scale, that scored Alphas on a scale of 1 to 10 across a wide array of parameters ranging from relative physical abilities to other parameters. Now, in most civilized countries Alphas are required to be assessed the moment their powers manifest, or be in strict violation of local and international laws. In this Age of Heroes , The Guardians have designed a new Initiative to recruit younger Alphas and set them on a path to greatness. Every year teenage Alpha’s from all over the globe flock to secure locations to take part in the Guardians crucible. Many will enter, but few will earn the right to call themselves a Guardian.
