Story: Bonding Beasts
“Open up the bond King has with Mal. All the way. Distract him.”
It hesitates, fluttering in place, then locates the red and black line between them and forces its way inside. I can’t see what it’s doing in there, and I don’t care. My focus is elsewhere.
GV is no longer a person. She’s a disease. Something that I’m familiar with eradicating without remorse.
She's a cancer that has spread so far that it’s touching everything I care about. The rest of the infection will clear up if I remove the root.
With the spark holding King steady, he might survive for the others to question. I’m already dead, and there is a slight chance that having my heart removed will kill me for good this time. I’ll risk that.
This bitch is going todie.
Vendetta:“Finally. He told you not to hesitate.”
“What?”
The new yet familiar voice is inside me. How? The bond broke.
How did I get-
My mind flashes back to Mitri pushing something into the front of my pants.
How did they miss agunin my pants? Are weallidiots here? King is looking right at me!
Vendetta:“Release his arm and draw me.”
As it’s speaking to me, GV turns back to face Mal and reaches through the bars.
Don’t fucking touch him!
Vendetta:“FOCUS!”
My hand fumbles into the front of my pants. King is so concentrated on getting beneath my ribs he doesn’t notice when I pull the gun out.He’s taking forever to get to my heart.
Dude, Kimi would have punched right through my ribs, no problem. This guy is lame as fuck.
Now, all I have to do is hold this heavy thing up despite the pain and blood loss.
Vendetta:“I will aim ifyoupull the trigger.” His voice is full of relish as he taunts me.
I’m in too much pain to question it. My body struggles instinctively against King’s onslaught. The pain isn’t manageable anymore.
“Do it before I black out again,”I grimly think to him and focus on her as she taps tauntingly on Mal’s cage.
My arm jerks up without hesitation and aims at the sickness in front of me. My finger settles over the trigger and gently squeezes without a single moment of hesitation.
There’s no recoil and no sound as it fires. Simply a flash of light that blinds me with its intensity, and I’m suddenly falling. I start laughing hysterically as my sanity flips back and forth, my vision winking in and out.
King collapses underneath me, keeping my head from hitting the floor, but my body rolls off his and landsin a crumpled heap beside him. Being boneless is kind of familiar by now. Hence my obsession with putty.
Hence. Damn Mitri for bringing that word back.
The see-saw struggles up as breathing gets more challenging.
I’m exhausted. It’s time to tap out on this round.
I see GV’s headless body wobble unsteadily on its feet before it falls.
I did that.
