Shudders: Reclamation Day

Chapter 28 - The Memories

Violence and Blood Warning ⚠️
————————————————————————

    The feeling of waking up inside someone else's head was something she'll never get used to.

    The familiar splitting pain in her head made her wince as the scene around her began to form. A dusty and cramped interior formed, shelves and shelves that you can find in stores, old food cans and chip bags, even small pieces of dust all appeared around her. It looked like a supermarket.

     If the already decrepit place wasn't spooky enough, the dozens of spider webs that covered every surface of the place sent goosebumps down the woman's arms. It was like arachnid heaven.

     (Y/N) carefully walked down an aisle and avoided the webs. She climbed over a knocked down shelf and almost screamed when something black ran past her. It was so quick she almost missed it.

     Peaking around the last shelf in the aisle, (Y/N) laid her eyes on a figure. A rather tall one.

     It had familiar spider legs that were completely stretched out and carried the demon off the floor. It had its back turned towards her but soon looked to its left and loudly growled before darting up the wall into the webs above. Nearly escaping a large mallet that came crashing down into that spot. (Y/N) gasped and recognized the demon who owned the mallet as that Brus guy.

"YOU THINK YOU CAN RUN?!" He yelled as he looked up to where the figure ran off to.

      A light fixture fell from somewhere else on the ceiling and Brus quickly turned around and pointed in that direction. "He's over there, Lamya!"

"Lamya?" (Y/N) muttered but soon her answer came when a female demon began sending sharp pointed spears towards the figure who ran across the ceiling, dodging each one that followed him and using his legs to deflect a few. It jumped onto the shelves and with nearly impossible speed had darted straight towards the female demon targeting each leg towards her arms. She managed to move just in time but not enough to avoid her entire left arm from getting sliced off her body. She used her abilities to send the demon flying out a window and outside to the parking lot.

     Brus ran by her and stopped for a second to check on her but Lamya urged him to go after the figure instead.

     (Y/N) ran up to the broken window and looked outside just as Brus shoved his huge frame through the supermarket doors.

     The figure was laid out on the concrete ground but as Brus showed himself it had moved sporadically to get up. It twisted and turned like a rabid animal before turning to Brus defensively. A loud growl emanated from it that Brus mocked before running towards his opponent.

      In the light, (Y/N) was able to see the figure better. It had its face wrapped up in a dingy scarf but parts of its black skin and hair showed. Its spider-like legs on its back were sharp and struck the ground hard as it ran towards the muscular demon. Like knives hitting concrete. (Y/N)'s mind started to become clearer and she was able to recognize who the figure was.

'Dog!'

      Another pain in her head hit her, signaling that the scene was changing again. This time, the asylum Zankoku calls home began to appear and that room with his concrete throne formed all around her.

     (Y/N) became crowded around by dozens of demons just like when she woke up in this very room before. They all snarled and screamed in her direction but the deep horrid voice of their leader made the woman turn around. (Y/N) jumped away when Dog's many legs whipped by her but went through her body.
