Fractured
The soft air that kisses the Chicago skyline through my hair I am free but not alive. My shoes hit the pavement as if it owns it and can feel its pain. I walked from the store on to Michigan then down the stairs to the bottom of the city. The workers are working hard for the money the city pays them. My hair long and curled at the end flaps in the wind as if it is happy. I am content in my way. The skirt is sized just right as I walk somewhat slowly through the street. My shirt has a hood but not a long one. My outfit is blue and grey while my shoes heel is long enough to go out and party. I smile at the man in the corner of my eye. My smile is cracked but lean almost like I'm laughing at the world. I finally see State Street on the corner I see my train stop. I walk down the stairs as I walk I feel a eye looking at me I smile again now it is straight I know I'm going to get action I lift my skirt a little for some fun. My coat floats as I walk down the stairs it is light like a pea coat but it beauty is nothing but a game I play with myself. I finally get to the middle of the stand. I stand next to a pillar I can feel the air getting hotter a train is coming I can't wait to get to the fun part. I'm getting excited I want my action now I want my fun. I am almost about to pop. I see the train coming and my friend finally coming. I want my fun I raise my skirt up again I want it now and I want it now. He coming and then there are the train. I turn to him he smiles I smile back at him.
"Little lady how would you like to have some fun", said the man.
"Well I don't know what kind of fun you wanna have with me big boy", said Sam.
"Close your eyes little lady I'm going to give you something very big", said the man
I close one eye and I see what kind of fun I'm going to have he opens his mouth and his teeth on side grows to almost claws in his mouth. I smile it party time and I'm ready to go.
"Oops I'm sorry did that hurt", said Sam.
A knife with deep red blood is dripping from the tip it coming out of the neck of the man. A noise comes from the man it between the noise you hear from a person having a cold and the sound you hear from a person giving their last breath.
" You guys are so funny it like how many times do I have to kill you people to know stop hunting for people on the train stops", said Sam.
The train comes and goes my coat raises as the train goes past I pull the knife from his head a man comes from the shadow. The train finally comes in and stops. The people walk out they see the body and continue on their day. It another day in the city they act as if they world is safe because they don't care but I do.
"Sammy don't act like you like this job so much it makes you look like your crazy you know that", said Leron
"Oh come on you don't actually think I love this job. I don't love this job this job is my life", said Sam.
I walked up from the station to the main street I'm on state street and I'm thinking about how much my life has changed since the new laws has changed I see my crew driving up in the van. I see in the corner of my eyes Leron, he is content in his ways. He is your typical man of war. His long hair hides his true feelings his feels the pain of the city. His eyes are swollen by the pain he feels inside his wife was killed by them so he keeps his feeling deep inside himself. He wears a cross his wife owned on his chest it is the only thing he holds to his heart except me. That how I met him when I killed his wife, it strange how people get together. I see Jun Santos my friend since we were kids he my battle brother through we can't see eye to eye about things. He walks out of the truck with a dark blue shirt and the muscle shirts he always wears. His hair drapes his face his dark black hair stenches his face. I sometimes forget although he my friend he is still attractive. On his eye he wears his favorite ear ring of the Japanese flag it the only thing that he wears of his heritage of any time. He does not like to make a big deal of it. He says it who he is nothing he wears will change that. I look back at Leron his blue hair is sleek back like always he looks quite angry at me.
"Why do you look so angry honey bunny", said Sam?
"You never do as your told you that Sammy. Sometimes I think you love getting into trouble you were supposed to get him out of the way of people seeing the body. You know how people are another body means we don't get paid right", said Leron.
"Oh honey you know we can just pick it up any way I like to surprise the fangs you know that who wants to work for a kill when it can be dramatic like a feature film don't you", said Sam.
"You think it so funny I want my money I need to buy a new coat after you ripped mine remember", said Jun.
"You know you need to stop winning Jun you know I will pay for it. You know I'm not like one of girls you sleep with I want take your shit", said Sam
"Listen to me Bert and Ernie I wanna hear that argument any more why don't you sleep together and get it over with come on best friends since your kids and you have not have sex what the hell is wrong with you too", said Nivea.
" Oh if I would sleep with that bastard and for everybody understanding we are all on a job so can we all get the body before with get it from the city of Chicago for leaving a body ok or it that too much for you all now everybody downstairs", said Sam.
Nivea another good friend Jun and her at one point was in love I always thought they would marry but she said he was never ready to commit to her. Now they are rivals in the crew always trying to top each other in the gang I feel like a mother with twins I can't pick with one I love the most. She walks past me and pushes Jun a little he raises his fist but nothing happens they hate and love each other. I wonder if they can ever be friends from before in my mind. As she walks past, I notice something her scar on her neck two-bite marks she has it covered at all times. It reveals itself through her scarf that she wears around her neck. People who are bitten many times get looks even if there not turn as if they asked for it. She works with healed boots or shoes as if she is a rock star and was about to walk out on stage her flips as she walked past. Her thin and straight it reached her neck but only a little bit. She always wears make up as if she on a date. Today she is wearing jeans dark black and her favorite shirt of her artist Namie Amuro but no one knows who that is. I guess she wants to be her. She is half-white and Chinese her face is thin with bright red lips that almost glow in the dark. She smiles at Leron for him to smile back but he never does. She walks on to the stairs. Then pops out from the shadow are the wonder twins, one a super genius on computer another useless shit that gets our connections to the underbelly of the city.
"Oh I see that idiot twins have finally done something right lately god save with this train stop", said Sam
" Well you know a friend told me he has been seeing people coming out of here a little weird for a while I figure it was a good place to start from", said Tim.
"No you didn't you piece of shit your favorite hooker went messing and you wanted to check it out here", said Tom.
"You know what Tom I'm sick and tired of your nice guy shit I can't stand you", said Tim.
"Well I can't stand you either you make me sick with all your behavior you make me cringe when I think your copy of me", said Tom.
"Well get this straight you stupid fuck twins aren't copies", said Tim
"You know very well what I mean when I say copy you lazy piece of shit", said Tom.
"Oh you wanna piece of me brains huh you wanna get physical", said Tim
They grabbed each by the neck and fell to the ground rolling around as if they were children. I grab them and raise them to their feet and slap them both across there face.
"Now both of you listen to me. When I was in Ireland and I found both of you. You were both dumb pieces of shit now I brought you here and I want you to both get your shit together or so help me your both on a plane back you hear me", said Sam
At the same time, they said they were sorry. I looked at their face and laughed a little I notice they both had on their glasses and their signature clothes on a transformers shirt and jeans with there red shoes. I wonder if they ever wore anything g else since that all they ever come to work in. Then I heard a scream I will never forget it sounded if a animal was being killed I turn my head and saw my friends running down stairs but what I saw was nothing I could ever understand in my life. I ran downstairs and saw my friend being ripped off as if is was a doll. All I could do was look in horror as Nivea blood drain from her head. I looked to the side and saw Santos, Leron on the pavement knock out I was seeing a master something you don't see much, and I knew this was going to be a long night. I ran up and shot the thing point blank and it did nothing the wonder twins did the same I noticed that the master was different then anything that I had ever seen before. His fangs were too long and his face in full mode was too far-gone. Without hesitation, I ran up and pushed the twins away from the monster.
"What the fuck are you doing we need to get that thing", said Tom.
"It on the stuff nothing can kill it but the last stand. I'll go get ok just hold it down here if it start moving we may never catch it", said Sam.
"Tom and me will hold it down here just run for it ok", said Tim.
"Ok", said Sam.
I run out of the station as I look out of the side of my eye I see the creature running toward me. Then I see Tom pull out his gun and shoot it in the head but nothing will stop it until I come back with the weapon as I run up the stairs I can feel my heart racing it pounding so hard I can't breathe. I wanna run harder but I can't anymore I wanna save my friends I wanna save them I finally get to the van and race through to the back. I see the box and open it up to find my weapon. It an iron battle axe that decorated with the blood of masters before it. It so big I can hardly move it but I run back out to the station. I can hear screaming I move faster I wanna move faster I'm too slow I think. I run down the stairs and hope I don't think I can see the sight I saw before. Tim and Tom are being held by their necks high on the ground I can hear their necks about to break.
" Shoot it now it the end let all your clips out on it now make it let go of you", said Sam.
They unload every single clip they have on it and it finally lets it go of them. I raised my axe as high as I could and swung as hard as I could as if I was a bat. It flew through my hands as if it was slow motion I could see them look as it flew past their heads. It hit it like a ton of brinks and imploded the creature face onto itself blood was everywhere. Their faces were covered with blood. It brain cavity splashed onto the pavement but the creature was still alive. If you don't kill the brain completely the creature can come back after it heals. I pulled two knife from my back pocket and went to work I slammed it onto a pillar and pin the knifes to it hands back-to-back. Blood was everywhere; I could hardly see a thing. I then pulled the axe out and started pounding and pounding until there nothing but stomp, I dropped the axe and sat in the blood of my friend. As day came, the blood was gone from the pavement and Nivea was packed in the black long car. I didn't look back I had nothing to say. The drive back to the station was hard no one said a word. They packed up for the day tomorrow was going to be the burial. I waved them out and closed the gate outside.
"Samantha are you ok", said Jun.
"Jun I seen so much death I don't know what ok is", said Sam
"Ok is when you cry when you see your friend wheel out with two body bags", said Jun,
"If you mean crying makes you ok then I will never cry. I cry when I die and I can see them all again. The only thing you can do for me is to fix me a drink. It too early to go to bed", said Sam
"You know you are really fuck up you know that" said Jun.
"I know I am that why you love me so much now who up for pancakes I'm hungry", said Samantha
