CHAPTER TWO: They Found You, But Who Are They?
Yet again, the blackness has returned to taunt you, along with that intense ringing that continue its torture on your mind. Yet this time it is no forty days and forty nights, but a mere several hours that you are unconcious. When you awake, its as if the light at the end of the tunnel has finally been reached, but life is a trickle nymph and loves to toy with you. Poor thing, you are still alive, unable to escape this hell...
When the darkness subsides, you find yourself not in a hospital bed, but on the cold hard floor with only a blanket and a rough pillow to comfert you. "As if im in a repeating timeline to suffer my punish for all eternity" you think to yourself, but this time its different.
To your right there is a white wall, that leads down to end at a hallway break. To your left you see other people laying on the floor like you, some are badly wounded, others are just simply dead and are hardly reconisable because their bodies are so twisted and mutilated.
Some people in strange suits are walking around treating the others, but these dont look like doctors. They are wearing some sort of large metallic armor/biosuits, maybe there is an infection going around, or maybe they arnt human either...
The monocle still seems to be on your face, its beginning to get uncomfertable so you try to remove it, but it wont come off. When you feel around your left eye, it seems to be fused with the socket, and your eye is pulled out slightly and is pressing up againest the glass. You cant close it, but it doesnt seem to hurt at all!
One of those figures in the armored suits walks over to you when it notices your awake. You cant seem to trust anyone right now, so you sit up and rush back into the corner of the room, away from everything.
The figure reaches out its hand once it gets close to you, like its trying to help, but your too afraid to think normally, you smack it's hand away and tell it to stay away. The figure steps back for a moment and nods it's head, it then lifts up its hands up to it's helmet, flicks some switches to unlatch it, and removed it's helmet.
When the hunk of metal rises, long dark hair descends as it falls out of it. Revealing a female, showing that it is no monster. You gaze upon her, seeing her beauty in her wide open eyes brings a bit of peace to you.
"Now then, I havent got a whole lot of time, my name Gabriel and this is my shift. So if you dont mind, please lay back back down I got alot of work to do." She says in a stern voice. "where am I, what is this place!?" you ask her.
"well this... this hell, dont be fooled by the calm for the time being, this is merely a higher level of it. Now please... lay... back... down..." she commands you in a even sterner voice. You attempt to stand but your ribs are still broken, you can see there are bandages so they gave you medical treatment of somesort.
With your arm around your waist trying to hold yourself together, you stand to look Gabriel in the eyes. You walk forwards slightly but stumble, she catches you and helps you back to where you were sleeping, but then you notice a pistol on the side of her hip in a holder on her belt. You yank it out and jump back, while still holding your ribs together.
"I dunno who you are, or where I am, but I either want out of here or some answers, ive been through hell you **** and I wont put up with it anymore." You shout at her in a fury of words. She just stands there and smiles, then walks towards you in a calm manner, she walks into the barrel of the gun and places it on her fourhead and says, "If you want out so badly, go ahead and shoot the succubus that brought you here and walk out of here." she says with a laugh.
Your hand is shaking, but the horrors you have been through have made you much harder, you pull the trigger and lodge a bullet into her head. Yet she does not fall, you can see the blood leak from the hole, but she doesnt crumble. Instead she gets... pissed. She grabs the gun from your hand and punches you right in the face, the blow sends you flying back and disorients you greatly.
Dazed and hurting even more now, you look up at Gabriel, as you do so she puts her boot to your throat and holds you down. She points the gun at your head and pulls the trigger, the bullet hits you in the cheek and rips off the side of your mouth. You scream and shout in pain, but can hardly breath because of that boot of hers closing you air waves with pressure.
Eventually some more people in these suits enter the room through the hall way, "Gabby stop! The Doctor wants to see him, and she needs him alive!" She looks behind herself and sees them, a male voice called out to her and called her Gabby, perhaps its someone close.
She then looks down at you and grunts, "Fine..." she says as she removes her foot from your neck. The others come towards you and lift you off the ground like you were practically weightless, they then put a bag over your head and some strange solid large locks that they put your arms in to keep you from moving.
They then carry you out of the room, but its dark and you cant see because of the bag. Yet you close your right eye to look around, and thankfully the monocle still works. What you see is a corridor, a hallway of sorts, you can see people moving back and forth as well. Their bodies seem normal enough, just like yours, but as for those carrying you, theirs are much different.
It's like their bodies are fused to the suits they are wearing, more machine then human. You think to yourself "where on earth could I be?". After sometime you stop and enter another room, you are laid down on the ground and the bag is removed from your head.
Blood spews from your mouth that you have been trying to hold in for a little while now. You are so weak that you can hardly even turn your head to look around. You can hear foot steps but thats about all you can make out, but eventually you hear a voice.
"My my... what have they done to you, poor thing didnt even have a chance. Now, now we are going to have to fix you up arnt we?" someone says in a scratchy but feminine voice. When you finally muster the strength to look up, you see the light glaring in your eyes, and infront of those lights is a figure darkened by shadow, but when it comes closer you can see her more clearly.
Another female, this one even more beautiful then the last, and behold... she is all human, or so you think. She seems to be wearing casual clothing, shaggy pants and a T-shirt. Red hair, blue eyes, and a lovely smile, the view of another female such as herself is the only relief you get from the pain.
She kneels down beside you, and injects a needle into the wound where you were shot on the face, when she does so the flesh some how regrows and heals, although slightly discolored, its good as new!
"Now then, doesnt that feel much better?" she asks you, but you still havent the strength to answer, instead you lay your head down on the floor. "Now then... cut off his right arm!" she commands one of the men in armor. Your eyes swing wide open as one of them lifts you up by your arm, pulls out a hachete from a container on his leg, and hacks the arm off in one swing!
You grab the stump that was your arm and shout in pain as blood poors from the wound. The man in armor hands the arm to the lady, and she bites into it's flesh and chews it. After tasting it for a moment she says "its him, the eye has done it's work, put him in the chamber quickly before he passes out."
They then lift you off the ground once again and lay you in a glass chamber in the middle of the room. The door is then closed, and the chamber is filled with a strange green liquid. With no strength at all, you do not attempt to keep yourself from drowning, you just lay there, slowly losing conciousness once again.
When you inhale in the liquid, your adrenaline starts surging for some reason, you no longer feel weak. Your body is spazing and moving on it's own, you can hardly control yourself. The wound around your arm closes instantly, and your ribs reconnect and fix themselves some how, its painful but its nothing compared to what you have been through.
Yet you cant breath, you begin to panic as the chamber finishes filling up, there is no air, nothing but this green stuff and the area beyond the glass. You try pounding on it, but they just watch as you slowly drown in this fluid.
You can see that woman, still eating your arm, as if she is some sort of cannibal, and it appears shes enjoying it. You pound on the glass with your remaining arm, but you cant for long, your lungs are calapsing, your gasps for air are just killing you quicker, and your brain is dying. Eventually, for the last time as yourself, you fade into darkness, but just for a moment.
This time there is no ringing, just quiet, and eventually you hear something new... A heart beat, and its getting louder, stronger, and more eratic. You then see a face, one you havent seen in quite some time, the faceless face.
It is that of the figure that shot you on the dark and cold night, the one that started this all. You are now dreaming, for once you can dream, or is it a nightmare? He walks to you and helps you up on your feet, he then looks you in the eyes and says...
"Well now... things sure have taken a interesting twist havent they? I never thought you would be found by... them, but I do so like surprises..." He takes a moment and puts a cigarette in his mouth, and it somehow lights it's self right as soon as his lipless teeth bite down on it.
Now you can get a better look at his appearance, hes wearing a long dark coat, made of a fine woal like material. Steeltoe boots, raggidy pants, and a bowler hat. Also those eyes... big red eyes... they just run a chill down your spine when ever you see them. You stand there just looking at him, curious, intrigued by him.
"I suppose your wondering where you are, where you have been, where going to be, and most of all why you had to suffer so much lately." he asks you. You just nod your head, for you are at a complete lack of words. "Well... let me ask you something, do you remember who you were, before all of this, hmm?" he asks you, his voice is scratchy and sadistic sounding, for a moment you continue to stand there.
"All that I know now, is that blasted black along with the bells in my ears, I just want... I... I cant take it anymore. I dont know who you are, if your the devil then just say so, if your an angel, ive learned my leason so please me go, and if your something else... just kill me." you tell him. He just laughs at your cries for help, he drops his cigarette and stomps it out.
"My boy... all of this is for a reason... and I saw a pale horse, and the name it said on him was death, and hell followed with him... I am no devil, but nor am I an angel. I am a horseman... I am the third of four, and my name is Malevolence... You're fate before I came along was to die on a city sidewalk... alone... scared... and sad. Im defying my brother's will (Death) and giving you a second chance."
"I... am the horseman of war, I put man againest man for my own plans and pleasure, you boy... you have a roll to play, and I need you alive and kicken, but first you must be hardened to proceed to the next scene. So thus I gave you... to them..." Malevolence says.
"who is them... and what the bloody hell do you need me for?" you ask him in a loud and aggrovated voice. You put foot down so to speak, and demand him to tell you, you have gone through so much... your just dying to know why...
He puts his face up to yours and says, "I gave you to the worst place on earth... WELCOME MY FRIEND! To where no live person may tread, you are in a place out of time, a place on earth that very few know about. This my friend... is Audemisto, and in a language that is far older then any other, that word means Land of Reality. Here... some of the worlds greatest minds research that which should not be known by man, things that are only meant to be known by gods."
"in... recent years, the whole place kinda... hmm... collapsed in on it's self, morality as you can clearly see was a word of debate among it's residents. Eventually war broke out, some of my finest work, yet I fear that a peace treaty might be close at hand, what I need you to do, is to make sure the blood keeps on drippin."
"So! Here you are... given a gift that many seek, and many want to be destroyed, you will be my embassador, and I shall be the hand that guides you. Now then... we have much work to do, when you awake, you will not sleep again for a long time. So I will tell you this... if you ever want this suffering to stop, if you... EVER, want to see the light of day again, you... will... cause as much anarchy as you can."
"now then my soldier of doom... go forth... and cause some serious **** after he says this, you awake... But you've changed some how, the pain is gone, and you can breath just fine. When you look to your right, you can see that your arm is back, actually you have a new one. This one is... different, its as if it grew right out of the stump, and it looks bigger, twisted, with boney exeskeleton parts covering it, and jagged claw like fingers.
Even where your ribs were broken you have changed, you ribs stick out slightly, as if they have expanded. Now they look more like a plate of armor then anything, and the same goes for where you were shot in the face, you have mutated into something more, something... stronger.
The monocle is still on your eye, but now... it has completely fused with it! The straps are no longer needed as the glass piece has sunk into your eye socket and fused with the eyeball, finally both eyes can be closed.
You rip off what remains of the shirt you had on, and begin to knock on the side of the glass cylinder to let them know that you are awake, you feel much calmer now. The room you are in, is full of computers and technology, with many people working and researching. When one of them sees that your awake, he quickly runs out of the room, after a short time the woman along with her two brutes in armor come along with her.
She looks at you with amasement in her eyes, she seems shocked for what you have become. You begin to pound on the glass with your new arm, violently, you try to shout to be let out but all that comes out is bubbles. Eventually with a strong swing, you break through the glass of the chamber, and all the green liquid comes pooring out, along with you.
You land on the hard floor below, but this time you do not stumble but instead you look up, and see the witch that had your arm cut off. Seeing this, those in armor pull out large weapons and point them at you, but the Doctor tells them to stand down. You stand up in and you have very angry look on your face, she walks toward you, and before you can do anything... she grabs your head and kisses you right on the lips, a passionate kiss indeed...
