Kinemortophobia

Departed

After a while, the scream subsides. Nyx looks at Ezra.

"Are you alright?..." Nyx asked.

Ezra slightly nodded. "Y-yeah."

Nyx nods and pulled a pistol from her pocket, before firing it on the Metupashites' heads, killing it instantly. Ezra slowly peeked through the celled window to see the already dead Matupashites.

"H-He called them 'Methupashites'. They are silent and stealthy, due to them unable to make a noise." Ezra explained as he watched the gruesome scene.

"You can name it that. It suits them well, anyway." Nyx responds. "Metupash means 'stupid' after all."

Ezra slowly shrugged as they both head back to the living room. "Agreed."

The others were also there, seemingly awoken by Marky's scream. They all looked at the two, and saw some blood on Nyx's jacket.

"What....What happened?" Jumbert asked.

"Marky's a lunatic." Nyx replied.

Ezra explained to them what happened. They all got shocked at the revelation. They can't believe that a kind hearted looking like Marky was a psychotic idiot.

"W-What are goin' to now?" Reymar asked.

"We're still heading to Nevada, right?" Jumbert added.

"Can't we stay here? We got plenty of foods." Aljohn refused to leave.

"Well, we could have more when we get there." Bea argued.

Tintin scratched the top of her head and said, "C-can we just stay here? What if the evac station is gone?"

"Nah, I'm staying here!" Aljohn exclaimed.

"Nobody asked you to come along, Grumps!" Cyra retorted.

"We must leave. This house is full of woods. It can't last longer from those biters!" Jumbert argued as well.

"Shut the hell up, Gargantuan!" Aljohn exclaimed.

Jumbert gritted his teeth. "Be respectful, kid."

"Who you calling 'kid'?!" Aljohn yelled back.

They started trying to hold each others throats, until Nyx shoots the chandelier on top of the dining table, making it fell on the table itself and break. This startles the survivors as they became silent, and turned their attention to Nyx.

"Can't we talk about it without yellin' at each others like nitwits?" Nyx scolded them.

Aljohn yelled at her instead. "Shut the hell up, Monotone-"

Aljohn's words were interrupted when Nyx points the pistol on him.

Nyx stared at him coldly and said. "I almost killed someone... Perhaps yours will be real..."

"I dare you, then." Aljohn glared at Nyx, trying to act tough.

Nyx, without thinking twice pulled the trigger, but fate seemed to gave him a chance as the pistol released no bullets. However, it startles Aljohn, as he realized how dead serious Nyx is. Nyx sighed and looked at the pistol, realizing that it was a squib round.

"Awww nuts...." Nyx mutters to herself.

The others were shocked after knowing that Nyx could've killed Aljohn if fate haven't saved him, including Ezra who's standing beside Nyx herself.

Reymar slowly looked at Aljohn. "God saved you there, boy."

Aljohn just gulped. "F-fine, I'll stay quiet."
