"I'll be opening the lights—" before Cedrick could even continue his words, Rei gave a different order in a heartbeat.
"Don't— Just wait for my signal," her breathing was unsteady, and she had the hint of exhaustion as she coughed at every step. "The three kids that I told you about earlier are heading towards the store where I dropped another pin on the map," she paused as we heard a brief slicing of flesh and a thud after it. "They're roaming freely on the third floor and I'm positive they couldn't have gone too far," she continued, her breaths falling short on every inhale we heard.
The horror in Kikoe's gaze onto me was imminent. Because for us, opening the light would be a positive note, but for the kids, they will be a buffet served on a golden platter for those monsters.
"Roger that," Cedrick was also sounding quite spent.
She didn't particularly give a new order to either of us, thus we just kept shoving in every vile and medicine-looking thing that we got ur hands on into the bag.
"Let's just hurry so we can join them," I say to Kikoe who was looking distracted.
"Yeah," he replied weakly.
[Rei]
I constantly glanced at my watch to see their tiny dot staying still inside some familiar stall. Running as fast as I could and eliminating any threat my way surely slowed me down. "Why are they suddenly pouring out," Cedrick heard my irritation.
"Tell me about it," he comments having to experience the same situation back on the first floor. "It's as if they were conveniently being used," he grunted as I heard him jumping and using nearby resources to his advantage to fight.
"That is a terrifying thought," while some unOrdinary kept rushing in my path. Their mouths opened wide to try and devour me in one gulp.
I kept barely dodging every attempt as it was too hard to spot as their color were camouflaging with the pitch-dark surrounding.
"This is so annoying," Cedrick giggled at my murmur, finding it amusing at a time like this. "What?" My tone couldn't hide my bitterness.
But before he could answer, the sound of a gun going off continuously made everyone blurt the same thought. "Gunshots!"
"Is everything alright?" I hear a panicked Noel ask.
"I got a bad feeling about this," Kikoe weakly murmured.
But their worries met nothing but silence as I saw my current position was only a few steps away from where they were from my watch. "Turn the—" I didn't need to finish my sentence when the lights suddenly flickered everywhere, almost making me blind.
My vision took a few seconds to adjust to so much light but my feet didn't stop moving forward.
Once my eyes settled in, the kids were inside the store where I found their big brother Meon.
The tiny ones were crying their heart out behind the eldest while he was shouting, pointing the gun at the store's door where it was almost swamped by a few unOrdinary.
"Kids!" I loudly called out.
[???]
Shattered window glass, sticky goo of green liquids that came from the stupid and rabid animals which were once a beaming hope for humanity, and gunshots that echoed in the whole building made my cheeks hurt as my grin only widened at the sight that I was already expecting.
"The human's mind is too twisted," Laughter stopped as I had to open the broken door where the blood scent was too fresh.
Removing my leather gloves that pushed open the disgusting door, "Those were my favorites, but oh well," I murmur.
"Too eager for power—" the bathroom revealed a blissful sight of those perverted trash cut into pieces and who were now drinking their own blood. "But you went too far Mr. Hunter," grunting at the thought of my hands touching the skin of the man who had an infant's skeleton as a necklace. "Even though I warned you not to upset 'fate' too many times," my fingertips turned sharp enough to be able to separate his head and take it back as an addition to my collection.
"For the rest of you—" closing my eyes, I found myself outside the room. "May you everlastingly suffer," with one flick of my finger, which once was a bathroom that turned into their hideout is now engulfed in my blue fiery flames.
"A 'hunter'—" I couldn't control my amusement, "That is such a cliche name if you're the one being hunted."
Their souls screamed for salvation, some of them begged for forgiveness, while the others felt wronged and furious that their life was taken too soon before they could even feast on more of their kind.
Human greed and curiosity are much too disgusting for my taste..
They're more fit to be called monsters rather than those they named 'unOrdinary'.
By the split second that the room turned into ashes, gunshots were simultaneously going off not far from here.
"Why is everyone asking for their funerals today," Only a few whispers from where I stood brought the piles of the unmoving bodies of multiple 'unOrdinary' arises and ran towards the sound.
"I don't want to use this head," I inspected the severed part of Mr. Hunter that I was gripping the hair of. I wanted this as a souvenir so I had to find another vessel.
"You!" I shouted at the frail-looking unOrdinary. It growled and ran towards me
to land an attack. "Why can't you be civil?" A sigh escaped as I walked to one of the corners that was crawling for another attempt but froze after my vibrant blue flames carried his friend in the wind.
"Now that's an obedient one," it flinched at my approach.
Slitting one of my fingertips with my thumb's pointy nail, my blood trails dropped onto its face which transformed him into a brand new body.
The one who lost his legs now stood up with new ones, and every part of his body now screamed with well-toned muscles.
"Now would you be a good boy and have fun with the one who killed my toy?" Raising his head for him to sniff and remember the scent before rushing towards the puny girl.
"Now for the fun part," I couldn't contain my grin from excitement.
I closed my eyes and opened them to find a set of huge screens in front of me.
The control room.
