Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Now that that's all in order, how's about we get down to good stuff?" S said cheekily
"You know you really should of thought that over."
"Still in the gutter are we?"
I let out a sigh and spotted a door on the far side of the room. I walked up to it and turned the handle. Locked.
"Hold on." S said as a loud metallic clank came from the door.
I attempted opening the door and it opened. I gripped the pistol tighter and slowly opened the door.
"Oh I know! Let's have some music!" S said.
"You really like to just fuck with me, don't you?" I asked looking around.
"You aren't being very entertaining. Remember that's the whole reason your here."
I let out another sigh. Probably gonna do quite a few of those. "Do you have cameras and speakers everywhere?" I groaned.
"Why of coarse."
"Then why don't you bother one of the other six tossers here?" I asked.
"Because they were all kind of assholes. So I just lessened there prizes for being so mean. I'm not going to have to lessen your prize and not have anyone to talk to, am I?"
"Now listen and listen good," I barked. "If you or that fucking spunk gorilla you call a friend even tries to hurt her, I WILL MOTHERFUCKING GUT YOU ALIVE!"
"Tisk tisk. Oh looky here. She's crying. She wants to know why were doing this and where you are. Isn't that just cute?"
Don't let her get to you, remember, dream. I let out a grunt and look around the old building. Dozens of concrete structures were all crammed in there. "Any hints as to where I can find these assholes and get through this dream with out feeling like this is some sort of personal hell?"
"Well in a sort, it is. It's your dream so you should be able to control this. Guess you just don't have the ability." She laughed.
Alright, I think I'm officially mind-fucked. I let out another sigh and began my search through this giant cluster fuck of gray-brown industrial setting.
"Now where was I?" S said through the speaker. "Oh yeah, music!"
"I really hate you." I muttered.
"I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that."
"Nothing."
I wandered through some of the more narrow corridors and pressed against the wall. I peaked around the corner to see someone nervously looking around. I pulled back around and unsheathed the knife. I let out a deep breath and stuffed the pistol into my pants. I used my free hand to smack the wall beside me. The smack echoed down the hall and I could hear footsteps coming closer. He peaked around the opposite corner. "Bad move."
I stepped closer and, with my free hand, reached around and covered his mouth. He began to panic and resist. I reached around with my knife hand and sunk it into his neck. His struggle weakened and blood poured down. I slid the knife out. I knelt down easing him to the ground. I wiped the blade on his sleeve and sheathed it.
"One down five to go."
I grabbed his pistol and stuffed it into my belt with the other.
I found myself in a more open area. I could see someone on a higher perch. He seemed to be messing around with something. He didn't seem to spot me.
'P-Tew'
I was flat on my back. My chest began to ache and I looked down to see a larger bullet embedded in the vest.
"Motherfucker shot me! Alright cocksucker, my turn." I said reaching for a pistol.
I grasped it and got up. I looked up to see him spot me. "Shit, why aren't you dead?!"
"I'm harder to kill than that bitch!"
I ran toward cover behind a column. "Step out now so I can plant one between your eyes!"
I extended my middle finger out from the cover. I looked around to see a piece of scrap wood. I grabbed it and tossed it out and dived out the opposite way. He took the bait and I leveled the pistol. I pulled the trigger and watched him drop.
I let out a breath. "Four." I said to myself as I took off the vest.
I found myself in a small room with a few upturned tables. "Jeez, wish someone invited me to this party."
"Oh yeah you would of loved it." S said through a speaker.
Being that it had been a while since I'd heard her I forgot about the speakers and nearly pissed myself at that.
"Jesus motherfuck!"
"Don't be a little wuss." She giggled. "I didn't catch you that off guard."
"There's still four others trying to kill me. You popping up doesn't put me at ease."
"Yes I know. Remember, I'm always watching."
"Yeah I'll keep that in mind when I'm busting for a piss."
"Hey, if it'll cheer you up, I'll give you some help. But just this once." She said sympathetically.
"Fine."
"Oh hey look, your in the same room."
"What?" I asked looking around to see a flipped table wobble a bit.
I grabbed my pistols and slowly walked toward the table. I peaked around it and he swung wild. He knocked one of the pistols out of my hand and scrambled for it. I kicked him to the side and aimed the other pistol at his head. He regained his bearing and lunged at me, knocking me down. We fought over the pistol, gripping it and trying to lean the barrel toward the other. I knee him in the groin and regained my control of the weapon just in time to aim, pull the trigger, and have squishy, pink brain matter now splattered on the wall behind him.
I sat there heavily breathing. "Not...cool..."
"You know your more entertaining than porn right?" S said through the speaker.
"Why'd you have to put that image in my head?"
"Just saying."
