"Mercy! I beg of you mercy!" The doctor pleaded as she tried to get away. Elizabeth kept quiet as hard as she could as she watched the masked killer walk up to the doctor.

"Out of everyone in this world, you are the least person to deserve mercy, Doctor." The voice sounded familiar to the child.

"Please, I was only hired to do this! I did not want any of this either!"

"We both know that’s a lie, Suvorian. I remember you enjoy mocking your victims. I mean I should know-"

Elizabeth watched as the killer slowly removed its blood-drenched mask and revealed Luna underneath.

"-I was your favorite."

Suvorian’s eyes grew wide when she saw her pale face and ghostly grey eyes.

"You-"

Luna choked her as the old woman flailed, trying to break free.

"Oh, don’t worry." Luna tightened her grip on her throat. "I will not kill you this way. That would be too easy, too quick, and too painless. You deserve something far more."

Luna remembered how Suvorian would slowly slice open her skin with a barbed scalpel and peel it off layer by layer. She got a scalpel from the floor and did the same to the doctor. She violently carved open the doctor’s arms and legs, then let Suvorian go. The old woman screamed in agony as she tried to crawl away, but Luna stabbed her in the spine, preventing her from moving.

Luna got more instruments and stabbed Suvorian repeatedly in the back. She then lifted the doctor up by the neck and slammed her down on the steel table with the old woman shrieking in pain.

"I remember your smile! And I prayed every night that I could rip it off! Now finally I can!"

Luna put her hands in Suvorian’s mouth and forcefully pried it open. With all her strength, she ripped the doctor’s jaw clean off and blood sprayed from her face.

"Laugh at me!" Luna yelled out as she began to strike the doctor, with blood bursting from the old woman’s face with every hit. "Laugh at me! Laugh at the freak you created! Laugh at me like you did when I begged you to stop! Come on! Laugh! Laugh at me!"

With every strike, Luna remembered everything. Every abuse, every experiment, every face of her friends killed by Suvorian and her doctors, It all came back to her and it made her more feral.

"You remember them all don’t you?! Laugh!" When Suvorian was close to dying, she stopped and put the doctor in a choke hold.

"Ready for our duet?" Luna maliciously whispered in her ear. She started to twist the old woman’s head. Suvorian gurgled out loud as she felt the skin on her neck stretch and her bones crack.

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

"Sing." Luna slowly pulled Suvorian’s head from her body. "Sing!" She violently twisted the old woman’s head. "Sing!"

She twisted the neck until she finally ripped the head clean off.

Luna roared like a wild beast as she held the doctor’s head in one hand and repeatedly slammed it on the ground until it was nothing but a pile of bone, hair, and mass in her hand. She roared out in anger, when she heard the sound of someone retching. She thought it was a nurse who managed to hide, but when she turned around, it was...

…Elizabeth.

The child’s eyes were wide open in fear. Her face was pale and she was covering her mouth while fresh sickness stained her clothes. Luna realized what she had done and she did it in front of the child.

Still silence and deafening shock.

She slowly made her way towards Elizabeth, but the child panicked and ran away.

"Elizabeth!" Luna was exhausted as the sedatives finally took their toll, but she still desperately tried to run after her. "Elizabeth! You don’t understand! Let me explain!"

Luna finally caught up to her and grabbed her by the arm. Slippery, foul blood on her skin made the child shriek.

"No!" Elizabeth used her power and blasted Luna off. Air and light sent her flying through a brick wall, and she landed back in the room where they came from. Luna was unable to move as she was pinned by rubble and massive amounts of sedatives. Her mind finally cleared and she saw the room all around her. Bodies so badly mutilated were all over the destroyed room while the walls were literally painted with the blood of the dead.

You are just a mentally unstable woman!

Luna can no longer hide behind the venom. She did this all on her own, and she knew what she was doing.

She cried. She wailed, like a child having a tantrum. Luna screamed until she was hoarse.

Why can't I have anything?!

Elizabeth ran outside, but the moment she left the warehouse, the child was hit in the neck by a dart. Elizabeth staggered and felt groggy. She used her magic to cure herself, but her body was not responding.

Her body slowly start to freeze up when someone grabbed her. It was a dark-skinned man with shiny metal teeth who removed the dart from her neck, and carried her towards a waiting gyrocopter. Elizabeth tried to scream, but she could not even make a sound. All she could do was watch and listen to what was happening around her.

"Let’s get out of here." The dark-skinned man said when they boarded.

"Any survivors?"

"Leave them. They are dead weight!"

Baldric arrived first, riding on Caesar, and Shinaki, riding on Sylvie. They found the whole warehouse on fire and dead bodies all around the compound, and all of them were viciously mutilated.

Luna! Elizabeth! Maker no!

Baldric heard the sound of a gyrocopter taking off. Willow, riding on his body, leapt off and started to leap towards the sound’s direction with Baldric and Sylvie following after him. It was Treese carrying Elizabeth into the gyrocarrier and the door was about to close.

"Sylvie, Shinaki, aim for the engines! Don’t let them take off!"

They fired on the gyrocarriers' rotor and it started to smoke while the blotking attempted to attach itself to the flying machine. Shinaki got out her sword and sent out sharp slices of wind toward the gyrocarrier. The vehicle staggered when the rear door opened and Treese, manning a gattling cannon, fired at them.

Sylvie took the brunt of it as she gave Baldric and Shinaki a chance to run to cover, but it was too late. The centaur was hit in her chassis and head, causing her to collapse to the ground. Caesar also tried to shield both of them, but the gattling cannon got the mechanical horse's legs, causing it to fall and flail in pain.

Baldric shielded the knight, but he was hit in the leg, arm and in his stomach before they leapt into cover. Blood flowed out of his wounds as both of them listened to the gyrocarrier lift off and fly away.
