That's my story, at least what I can remember. It all seems so blurry now, the good memories, the bad decisions and the friends I made along the way,
"Woaahhhh!", Feng gasped in awe,
One of the many people I was locked in this shithole with,
"I can't even think of surviving that", Kate whispered under her breath.
They were all just like me once, people just trying to get by, trying to survive.
"I'm glad you're a sociable guy", Ace smirked, "Most of these monstrosities can't even speak English, let alone speak at all",
"Ace!", Felix shouted, "Calling him a monster isn't going to make this place any easier on us", he looked at me with his compassionate smile. I liked Felix, first adult I could truly relate to outside of my parents,
"I know this goes without saying but, we don't mind dying, after all it's happened so many times",
I stared down at the familiar blade glinting in the light of the fire. The amount of times before now that it'd been soaked in blood, the amount of punishment I received for performing poorly. I hated it, but the karambit was my only key to survival now.
"I know you don't mind", I looked up at Felix, my mask perpetually glued to my face, "It'll never make it any easier",
He nodded, adding a log to the burning wood, I could never shake his hand or hug Kate or give Feng a high five. I couldn't even play rock paper scissors with Ace, because he always won. They had their side of the fire and I had mine.
The groaning of the entities tendrils echoed somewhere above us,
"It's time", we all said standing up to throw our respective offerings into the flame.
This is my life now, to fight everyday just for a little bit more freedom, to kill people I genuinely admire, to bask in their blood or my own.
Thanks to my past, I can run faster than them. The entity decides my abilities, I get to pick a few extra's myself. It's all a game to that monster, I hate it, but I tune it out.
Instead I feel the wind rushing around me, the knife in my hand and the rage in my mind.
You only need to find yourself to find those secrets kept from your soul after all, no I don't know who said that.
Those secrets are friends, alongside their darkest potential, because when I'm forced to kill I can feel the people closest to me. Frank. Susie, and Julie, god I'll miss you.
Welcome to the Realm of the Fog,
We Are Legion.
Hey Everyone.
This is a quick Authors note from me, because if you're reading this after all the other parts, you've stuck with me for an entire pet project of mine. And I couldn't be happier.
I might make more of my own spin offs for a few other killers, since this story really inspired me to finish it, part by part. I'm open to suggestions as well.
Thanks for going on a journey with me.
