The Lantern Bearers

chapter 24: mercy to the wicked

I would suddenly release something inside of karma that made her moan in pleasure, i assumed. My member would keep pumping a substance in her, while she had me pinned down and it would eventually stopped.

She would lurch forward and put her hands on my chest, covered in sweat, and panting heavily.

I assumed she was done, due to her stopping. I was hoping she would let me go.

When i tried to get away slowly, she had a psychotic glint in her eye, with a wicked grin, as she lunged forward and grabbed me by the throat.

"No...we're gonna go more times than this, dammit!" She growled.

"Kar....ma....you're....cho...king...me!" I muttered.

She would start moving her hips again, this time more aggressively. I was sensitive from before, so this was a tad bit more painful. Whatever i pumped in her, she wanted more of it, but she was choking me this time!

The entire time she took advantage of me, she wore a evil looking face, like that of a demon. She was possessive and had no idea she was trying to kill me.

I had to get out of her grasp and out of this facility.

When i moved my limbs, the drones weighted them down and clamped on my wrists and ankles. She was not gonna let me go at all. When i tried to move my hips to get her off, she would tighten her grip.

Everything started to grow fuzzy and the sound started to become very muffled.

I was becoming weaker and losing consciousness.

Suddenly, the lights came on and its startled both of us. She let go of my neck and looked around. Her drones lifted off of me as well. I took the moment of opportunity and delivered a hard right hook to her jaw, sending her tumbling across the room.

I coughed and wheezed as I collected my breath back into my lungs. As i stood up and pulled up my pants, i grabbed my pistol and knife she threw to the side and pointed them both at her, inching closer to her.

I nudged her with my foot, but she didn't respond. She was knocked out cold. Upon closer examination, she had some white liquid seeping out from between her legs. I didn't know what it was, but i didn't want to find out.

I would sling on my pack and gear and would prepare to leave the room......but i couldn't just leave her there all vulnerable.

The power would cut out, meaning anomalies and shit will return.

I picked her up and took her to a small room without windows and a door with a lock on it. I set her in a corner, once i knew it was safe from anomalies and clothe her. I'd then share my food, drink, and the rest of my first aid kit with her, put the door key in her hand, and then locked the door behind me as i shut it. This would lock her in the room and only she had a way in.

As i entered the previous room however, a shadowman was standing a few feet from me.

"Sonovabitch..." i growled as i started shooting at it with my pistol.

It would lunge at me, to which i would dodge roll to the side, it leaving a deep gash in the wall from it missing. While on the ground, i took pot shots at it's knees, making it fall to it's knees, bellowing like a beast. I'd then jump from my crouched position and slammed my knife in its head. It'd then scream and turn to black dust, leaving a floating crystal. I'd stand up, and whip kicked it into a wall, shattering it.

I felt a rush of satisfaction from killing it. After being pinned down by karma and nearly killed by her, taking my frustrations out on a shadowman felt incredible.
