Chapter 3: Crimson Pond

last update Last Updated: 2023-01-13 04:36:30

As everyone clapped after they play me a ballad for my last memories of them - my family suddenly heard a knock that sounded like it was in a hurry coming from the birch door. 

    "You can blow the candle, little pumpkin, I beg for everyone to please be quiet and not panic for once! I will check who it is" Father stands up hastily and did not even have time to clear his hair and the wrinkles of his shirt.

    "Who invited someone to the party? I know we all gather here together, no one is left behind, is it?" Uncle Thomas asked and my cousin who lift me earlier nodded slowly - and there go the others who lift their chin up and south.

    My mother followed my father's steps and the whack began to veer around louder from the door as my father was getting closer to unlock the knob.

"Honey, please check it faster, this aura is pulling my fear out" mother whispered at the back of him.

My father asked who is behind the door hence how many pals the man behind the door brought into the residence and my parents know they only invited their relative members into the room. But no one answered.

So my father asked again but this time he lays his ears and hand on the birch door. They listened to the silence and further stillness. 

    An abrupt outburst behind the door that is instantly pushed my father in reverse as the men in high-tech armory suits slam the birch door - wielding a great weapon that is beyond terrific and unfamiliar than a common gun that today's generation manipulates.

They marched in after my family screamed until their breath runs out as death came in without a welcome or permission to take oneself in.

"Eliminate them all except for the child, do what task was given to us" the man with a shield glasses that nearly can encircle his whole face.

They shoot one by one with no mercy they pull over before hitting the trigger. 

The guns they hold don't even need to be reloaded like the ordinary gun it only takes energy around the house like electricity and after the gun absorbed the power - the manipulator can, at last, pull the trigger twice. 

    My cousins attempt to protect me but they were kicked by them before their faces blew up from the gun. My parents were covered with escaped guts and violence.

The others still breathe on the floorboards but the merciless men crushed their skulls into a flattened balloon and left the guts replenished with knowledge out of the dust.

The turmoil sheltered the exit, the blood of my loved ones created a pond near me and the tears of sorrows of begging and pleases ended up drought below the boots of the assassins.

"Find Wilson's possessions including the work they put inside them!" Their leader yelled and once again ordered the others to search around the room.

They commence their hands and feet to stop the blood of my family and create a mess around the room including the furniture and more.

I cried and then wailed even louder.

    "Hello, Vega, we are your new family" their leader whispered.

     "Is it alright to call you Wilson?" he caressed my little nose.

      Why did I halt my tears?

    "Jonathan! Jonathan! Wake the f*ck up!" My friend shakes my left shoulder over and over again until my eyes are opened to behold the reality. As I opened my eyes from the harsh agony that played over and over again from the past months that faded away. Wayne my partner sat beside me with his eyes that crammed with worries and uncertainty while carrying a liquor bottle inside of his sweaty palm that begging himself to wipe it off and a cigarette on the bowl filled with ashes that he hunched for it evermore. "You were bloody screaming at the back you cobber, you hardly pulled my *ss here just to see if you're alright but damn you scared the hell the f*ck out of me" Wayne rubbed his chest with his fist on and laughed after that - shaking his head from side to side. "I am having a nightmare again" I whispered in a voice like trapped in a misery that echoes internally and then I rubbed my eyes with my sweaty fingers - imagining them they were covered in blood as I glimpse belo

    The guard let Wayne in so I chin up high and head my chin low to proceed our walk into the exit of the port after Wayne grabbed his case and mine as well.The middle spot of the port prevailed crowded with people that witness the incident.I hold my weight and relax myself to slither out of the area without getting touched by someone while Wayne was pushing the others that blocking his path.The people he pushed with his hand obviously complained and got mad to start an argument in the middle of the dilemma.I pressed my proximal phalanx on my finger to activate the communication process through chips in our ears like telephones or maybe telekinesis.I contacted Wayne, he was at the back of me, I believe or just a memory that I remember kept inside because I am losing a glimpse of him from making my way out of this crowded airport.

    "Please appoint your destination onto the left screen, let me know if you are comfortable in your seats and after you enjoy your ride through the location you select, please complete your transaction through the chip in your wrist or some area in your limbs to complete the payment," the lady on the screen said while pointing her hands to the left screen where it located in front of Wayne. "Find an apartment and give us the option to choose from as long it is near the WPD (Winter Police Department) or WCA (Winter's Crime Agency)" I said as I can see Wayne's mouth was glued together after he swallowed his words to respond to the lady on the screen. "Understood, the nearest apartment you are searching for is the Dark Oak Apartment is further away from the Hessian Corps but near the WPD a measurement of twenty yards away while the Lavender Apartment is approximately two blocks away and if you want to see more apartments, please let me know," the lady said while she nods slowly.

    The glass door of the elevator slide from the sides.There are some ivies that hooked on the ceiling and moss carpet below our feet - it was creative and I am truly amazed about it.I did not expect this building to have fifteen grounds and I know high-rise apartment building merely has floors between seven and twelve.There is a symphony inside the elevator and it was coming from the carton that the robot gave to me.It was a northwestern style of music with a blend of dramatic melodies and r&b. "What is in the box?" Wayne asked as he raise his left brow higher than the other's length. "Music, sounds good, right?" I answered while my shoulder was vibing to the music. "Why would that android lend ya that crate and I thought it was an actual slab at first" Wayne chuckled in the end but I curled my upper lips after he said that. "I have no idea why but let us welcome ourselves in this city for a while, one for the road at the end of this mission?" I said while smirking a

    "Welcome home Jonathan from 604, did you enjoy your night?" The AI asked me with joy in her robotic voice. "I bet Wayne is" I nodded unhurriedly with a sarcastic smile and she smiled even more but yet she looks pretty even though without a warmness within her robotic complexion. I walked into the elevator after pressing my finger onto the bottom that printed six on it then as I walked in - the music that played before we stuffed in the room still plays inside the elevator but the beat changed. I raise my feet up and down to secretly vibe into the music. My new partner suddenly contacted me through my head so I accepted the call "How on bloody earth she knew my number?" that is the last thing I said in my mind before accepting the ring.

"Right, silly me, my job wasn't hard as yours yet didn't expect that to be boring as f*ck" "Mine is easy if you use your brains and experience, in my perspective about my job eh" "You will work on the fields?" He asked again - his voice was concerned. "I'm not sure about that unless the head of WPD accepted me to fight at the field as an investigator and search further grounds" "Better make sure my a** you'll never leave me like the last time you barely give me a bloody heart attack amount of tears, you cobb" "What can I get for you two?" The robot interrupted in with a sticky note on its forearm. "Two Bacon and Eggs with tomatoes and four buttercup toast and two coffee with natural milk please," I said.

I'm wearing a long black coat and a leather hat to protect me from the blizzard in the lane next block still in District Twenty-one. The assistance of the investigation passes me the information about the recent killing - replacing Wilson for the case because of his illness. "Happened before six, same suspect, examining the victim with no weapons beside and we have a visitor right behind that pavement, it's her mother in a red hoodie," Tenny said before he lay his finger at the diner next to the scene.

    The slaughtering was insanely pleased my essence.I order her to avoid the strikes and swiftly step forth to impale the talons through its heart, neck, abdomen, and face plenty counts.They bite to free themselves now her scars are again bitten upon.The gashes and strikes made the puppet wailed loudly than the siren's hum. Three left after the row streak of dodging and storming from a foremost quarter of the training.The wolves were supporting each other's out by playing one as a decoy and one for the assault.It is a clever move but the moment I can defeat them. Now it just was - It was a smart plan though.Blood flow through the veins as the crimson fluid splashed onto the skin and the plungplunge and made the beast yearn for more battle to huff the fleshy aura of a deadly predator. Striking through the heart of the last wolf and ripping the skin with claws and teeth after I have slain the last and the rest. It was tiring for the beast as well as my body needed to lie down.I

    Myself heard a knock after heeding a piece of music through the chip in my ear. I drop the other things like my shirts and towels that haven't settled on the tables and within the drawers. "Is Wilson here?!" A woman's voice travels through the door so I stroll forth. "Can I help you?" I asked with my brows down after I haul the door. "You the player that Jeremiah kept blabbering about?" I believe this is the Merinda. "Yes ma'am" I nodded. "You free to guide?" "I'll get my things" That was quick in the first half but afterward, I finally fetch the towel and a bottle before reaching out for her. "You familiar with Raven's games?" She asked while her eyes are not on mine. "My intentions are on business" "Ever tame a dog?" "Do I look like that kind of person who can't tame?" "Your look like a guy who eats meat for protein and p*ssy for luck" she rolled her eyes. "What're the rules here?" I chuckled before I asked. We both entered the

    I take a shower after I put up with a nap under twice an hour. My frigid fingers towards the cold pour from the shower halt its drizzle.I let it plunge down my abdomen as I shake my complexion to get rid of the drops beneath my chin and fingertips.The haze blurs the mirror so I swept left before I glue my gaze upon the mirror. I fetch my phone after I stroll past the doorframe of the bathroom but yet still in the motel.She's sluggish at picking buzzes. "It's f*cking one in the morning, what the f*ck do you want?" Marina groaned through the speaker. "I've found the location of the manufacturer of the drugs that were probably used by the Vipers along with Romano" I answered. "You sound sick, what's wrong?" Her concern melted my heart yet still along with her irritated tone. "I had a fever so I'll tell chief I'm truly suffering from my fever so I'm calling it a day but still will provide information" "Where did you get the fever?" "From showering I believe but

She grinned after she huff her smoke. "Of course not and stop huffing your smoke in front of my face" I wave my hand from left to right to get rid of the smoke from inhaling it.

"I want you to play for tomorrow night at the Raven Tournament because my fighter can't get rid of his booze" She showed me her card and twirled it around the middle of her finger. "You know I have a job right?" I tighten my tone. "Make an excuse and that sh*t won't be that long" she speaks like she never underwent what it gropes to be the son of a mafia. "Bullsh*t Cat!"

    My chip buzzed unexpectedly as I gaze at another billboard of advertisement for pleasure and gluttony. It was Wayne so I immediately admitted the ring. Jonathan: What? Wayne: In the cab now? Jonathan: Just got in earlier, why? Wayne: Master is early as well as Mr. Jimenez, Cross, Blood Judas, Humpleton, Sakura-chan, and Catherine Jones including me you f*cking cobb. Jonathan: Tell them I'm almost there. Wayne: Bye hurry the f*ck up! Down the galleries of many skyscrapers - I found the corps I try to unearth at last.

They know me because they memorize I'm part of the Criemsons.Within the Corps there exists a big chandelier hung with plenty of well-shaped glasses of gleams in the center of the interior.Black shiny tiles below my foot, artificial plants beside the elegant stairs, and between the stairs there's an elevator so I used them.

    Through the metal creaks we pace on still ongoing for another round. We break ourselves apart to uncover each room of the house.Flash in and flash out if it's clear. The scene of the fallen couple will be maintained by our chief, officers, and CSI before we baffle them. This house is pretty ordinary, like heaps of bottles, stacks of dishes, and piles of clothes commonly seen in men's cribs.However, we catch a glance of a crack in the walls and some look like they thawed down. He might invite his members to break some stuff. "Wilson, come here and check this out" Marina flickered her light on a red fluid vomit which is causing aversion to gape at. "Is he infected or he's just creating more games for us?" "Either" she answered after she sneered from resisting not to puke as well. "A red fluid vomit, bottles, cracks on the walls, and an empty satchel of drugs, is there any related to the gaining power crap cases similar beyond the barricaded virus?" I asked. "We ha

    "Grace! Open the door!" Marina yelled while I was cocking the weapon up before I booted in. Our victim didn't respond so I chose to shove to blast the door off by weight. Marina was the first to enter before me. "Hey!" I shouted thrice as he barely slit Maria's throat. He heaves Maria onto his zeal yet still his forearms enfold around her neck to threaten her physically. "Put your weapon down or we'll shoot!" Marina indicated the verge of her weapon at our suspect. "کریمسن کا شکار کرے۔, خدا ہمیں وائپرز کو برکت دے اور " "What the f*ck is he saying?" Marina asked as she twitched her chin to glance at both. Maria blubbered with tears descending through her reddened cheeks as our enemy slightly pressed his blade. "Drop your weapon!" I moved closer and then they stroll in reverse near the window with hanging pots. "I come for Wilson, may the pack of wolves fly but us Vipers will avenge and this is the message for you," He said in a deep fluent accent of Pakistan.
