A/N: Another chapter of The Plague of Mc Cities! I really hope you enjoy! [Uploaded 05-16-17]
Chapter Five: “Rouge Encounter”
Before I knew it, we were all tied up by black ivy. Our intruder knew how to manipulate it to her own use. She was intelligent and strange in that way, but she wasn't our friend. She’d never be our ally.
Her boots clunked as she circled us, a pistol in her hand. Even with ivy around my head, I could feel her disgustingly satisfied smirking. I felt her crouch down next to Donut, who sat right beside me.
“How is it, that a lil’ girl like me could take down a group of people? Odd, but I’m probably just that good.”
A grunt was heard, and panic spread throughout. That was Donut’s voice. What in Kiri’s name was she doing to her? I heard Pup muffle something under her gags, but a grunt after. Pup hit the floor with a hard thud. Our attacker put her boot back onto the floor, pleased
I felt Slime stirr behind me. We were all up against each other, while clunking boots circled us like a vulture, waiting to pick out it’s prey. My heart beat faster than it ever had been before, and I felt Slime’s hand caress my back. I was going to cry out in surprise, until I realized he was working at the ivy tying up my own hands. I silently thanked him over and over, and suddenly, the ivy around my hands fell to the floor, untied.
I waited, waiting for the clunk of the boots to reach me. And suddenly, my window of attack was open, until our attacker stepped outside. What in Mc was she doing?
I kept my hands behind my back and worked furiously at Slime’s bonds, feeling that having two of us with free hands would help us greatly. I heard Donut sit up and lean on us, grumbling softly in pain. Slime and I worked at her bonds, and with the two of us, it made the process faster. We couldn’t assist Pup; We didn’t know where she was. A creak of the door let us know our attacker had returned.
“So, runts, you think you can step into MY territory, and expect to not get caught!?”
I felt a toe of a boot lift up my chin, and I grumbled to myself.
“What did you say, b$%!#? You want me to shoot your face off? Wish granted~!”
I felt a barrel of a gun make contact with my forehead. I froze in horror as I heard her cock the gun up.
Suddenly, a body shot out from behind me. Slime. He attacked the girl, disarming her. Donut and I scrambled to our feet, and Donut dove for our attacker’s pistol. Slime held down our attacker, wrestling her down. My eyes darted around, until it found what it was looking for.
Pup was on the floor, bleeding. She had a wound in her head, and she was losing life, fast. I dove to her side, removing the first aid kit from my bag as quickly as I could. Tears streamed down my face and Donut and Slime focused on our raging subdued rouge. Her kicks and screams were drowned out by my tears. A ringing sound pierced my ears as I cleaned the wound of an unconscious Pup, and the last thing I remember was me patching it up with bandages.
-------------------------------------------------- lol jk not ending the chapter there.
Darkness was all I could see for mile. Standing in darkness. Most people fear the dark, not because it’s dark, but because what unknowns are hiding in it. I raced forward, unknown to where I was going. Fear powered me to sprint, faster and faster and faster, until I could feel my lungs screaming for me to stop. I felt my world moving. All the breath was taken away as I hit the ground of nothingness. The area around me filled, finally.
Wooden floor. Wooden walls covered with ivy. Was I still at the shack? I looked around me, and saw what I never wanted to see. Pup was sprawled onto the floor, dead, with a puddle of blood surrounding her. My hands lifted to my mouth, covering my cries. I crumpled up next to her, shaking. The bandages were half-wrapped, and her wound wasn’t completely covered.
“P-Pup… no! You c-can’t do this to us! Pl-please! I’m sorry! Plea-Please!”
Two other bodies faded into my view beside Pup’s. Slime and Donut. Shot. Shot to death. Shot to death by our attacker. Shot.
And I was alive.
Sobs filled the air as shock took hold of me. I raced to my two friends, wanting to help, but knowing damn well I couldn’t. I crumbled to the floor, face twisted in agony and sorrow, only to be drowned out by my influx of tears.
“Forgive me… I-I failed y-you! We promised to take ca-care of eachother!”
Tears spilled freely, and I didn’t care. Snot flooded my nose, and I didn’t care. I was making so much noise, and I didn’t care. My hands were bloodied with my best friends’ blood, and I DID CARE. Noise of a young girl’s insane sobs filled the air of the dock.
The sound of familiar clunking boots was heard.
“What a pitiful sight….”
My eyes couldn’t tear away from my hands as I tried to hide my face in shame. I couldn’t face anyone. I would never face anyone.
I felt cold hands hold my face, and turned it towards our attacker’s eyes. Her green eyes pierced into my vulnerable soul, and a smirk covered her face.
“Such a shame. And you were so pretty too.”
A barrel of a gun was all I saw, and all I would see.
