I Desire You

Chapter 8. Heartache

Summary:

Why? Why is it you?

Why is it you that they're so obsessed about?

“Did you know that some of the killers have been really pissed off?”

“Really?”

“Seriously? You don’t know?”

“I heard it’s all because of the new survivor.”

Frank ignored his two friends - Joey and Susie’s conversation and continued to mind his own business. They were situated in an isolated place that was away from the majority of the killers. A shack that was no longer in use was placed in the outer exterior of the killer’s realm and the Legion members made it their base.

The Legion stuck to themselves, choosing to not be near the other killers. Some looked disgusted and down at the Legion members due to their immaturity and smaller physicality's, and others didn't give a shit about a couple of teenagers.

But that doesn’t stop curiosity.

The four have been eavesdropping and observing some of the killers’ behaviours and noted that they were extremely riled up. From the constant loud bangs by the barrier to the angry stomps from them, and the yelling and growls, they knew something was up. They were aware that a new survivor had come but none of them have faced her yet, nor know what she was capable of.

“I heard that no one has ever seen her face and she wears a mask.” Susie told Joey, swinging her knife around, “what do you think she looks like?”

“Eh, who cares.” Joey shrugs, “if anything, she’s probably wearing a mask for fun or something. Don’t let the new survivor bother you.”

“I won’t. I've noticed that lately, the other survivors seem to have more hope.” Susie acknowledged, but Joey waved her words off.

“Enough about the new survivor.” Frank finally joined in the conversation, “she’s not worth our talk. Who cares about how the other killers are reacting. None of them ever care about us so why should we start caring about them?”

“Jeez Frank, we were just-”

“Drop it.” Frank stood up and dusted his leather jacket, “let’s wait for Julie to come back. She should be done with her trial just now.”

As if the devil herself heard, in the distance, Julie was frantically running towards them. Joey and Susie greeted her but Frank had another reaction, running up towards his girlfriend right away and coaxing her.

Upon a closer look, Julie was severely shaken and she was sobbing hysterically.

“Hey, what’s wrong?” Frank questioned her, patting her back comfortingly, “you alright? Come take a seat.”

Julie sniffled and she allowed Frank to guide her towards the top part of the staircase, settling down there. The sad girl took off her mask and she wiped away her tears furiously, not caring that she was bruising her skin a bit.

“That stupid bitch…” Julie spat out, burying her face in her hands, “s-she…”

“Who?” Susie pressed.
