Mika’s POV
Ugh, I feel like crap, really. I slowly open my eyes to be greeted by a white ceiling, nothing on it except a speck of blood and a few more specks of blood. What the? Where the hell am I? What the heck happened?
I hear footsteps; do I pretend to be asleep? The feet stop in front of my door. If anyone asks, I’ve been asleep this whole time.
The door is being unlocked. I try to clam myself and make it seem like I’m in an undisturbed sleep. The feet walk in as the heavy sounding door opens and slams closed. High heels, about 6 to 7 inch, this is obviously a human as Robo can’t wear shoes that aren’t the ugly flat ones they sport all the time.
The heels stop in next to me and for a few seconds the person just stands there in silence, watching me, I can tell they’re watching me. Just be asleep, Mika, be asleeeep.
“I know you’re awake Mika.” Oh, so the heels speak, and she knows I’m awake. Damn it! How did she know?
“I know because I can tell when you’re faking, your eye twitches.” Oh, does it? Wait, how does she know this? Who is she?
“If you open your eyes, you’ll find out.” Did she just read my mind? No way I’m opening my eyes.
“I can’t read your mind, but I have a very very good idea what you’re thinking. And you don’t have to open your eyes now if you want to, but you will.”
“Who are you?” I whisper with my eyes still closed.
“Ha, good try.” She laughs, and then walks out the door again, slamming it behind her and leaving me with the echo of a heavy metal door hitting its steel catch.
Lucas’s POV
I should’ve done something, I just watched. I could’ve saved her, if she’s still alive. She was still breathing, no she wasn’t. Yes she was, no, yes, no, YES!!
I collapse on the pavement, knees splayed out and my head in the hands. I stay there for a few minutes, clearing all thoughts out of my head. I’m not going to say I cried for Mika, because I didn’t. She wouldn’t want me to. Instead I pick myself up, look to the sky and make a vow. A vow that I will never tell anyone, a vow that I will fulfil, even if it kills me.
Spencer’s POV
“Hey Sparrow, what you doing?” I try to be friendly, hopefully that’ll make her back off, instead she laughs her little giggle. Was it always that creepy sounding? She still comes forward until she’s finally in my face. She smiles creepily at me, her lips closed. I give her a confused small smile back.
She reaches her hand out to caress my cheek. Then she smiles again, but this time showing her teeth. Holy Sh-! All I can manage is a scream before she’s lunged at my face, her intention clear.
Lucas’s POV
As I slowly and unfeelingly walk back to the house, a cough from next to me snaps me out of my sad induced trance. I look to my left and I see the same lady that told me about those nonsense monsters the Robo made. I give her a ‘what the hell do you want?’ look. She meets my eyes with a serious yet slightly amused look.
“I just heard a scream.” Oh great, now she’s going to tell me about the voices in her head. I don’t have time for this. I start to walk away when something she says stops me and makes me look back at her.
“It came from your house Master Knight.” I look to the direction of my house, I don’t see anything wrong.
“What are you doing mister? Run; go help Spencer Dougherty for he’s being attacked by one of those creatures I told you about.” How does she know Spencer’s name? Who is this woman? I go to ask her some very close questions but a scream stops me. I look to her baffled, she nods and I run as she calls after me.
“I WANT IT’S HEAD!”
Whatever.
Mika’s POV
She didn’t come again today; the only company I got was an unamusing Robo who came only to give me food and water, very little food and water at that. I’ve been coming up with ideas of where I could be and why I’m here. First idea I had was that I was in a mental institution ran by Robo and I was there because they were trying to make my craziness into a disease and then give it to all mankind. Nope.
Another one was that maybe I’m dreaming this whole thing and Lucas is in fact the Robo but I’m hallucinating. No, it’s not that.
What about I’m in a Robo army base and they want to share my skills and wisdom with the whole Robo military because they practically worship me! Nope, oh Mika, you can tell you’re malnourished when you start dreaming of Robo worshipping you.
Well, all I can do now is sleep I guess. I’m bored so I might as well. I close my eyes and try to block out the blindingly white light in the room; maybe it’ll all be gone when I open my eyes again.
Lucas’s POV
I burst through the front door and into the kitchen where I see the scariest thing.
Spencer’s sitting in a chair and Sparrow is attached to his face, except she’s not kissing him; blood doesn’t drip off the kissers’ chins when they kiss. Sparrow then spins around sharply and I see her teeth.
“They eat us, they’ll rip the flesh off your body with their small razor sharp teeth whilst you’re alive” The old woman’s words come back to me suddenly. Oh god, Sparrow is one of those monster things, and now she’s eating Spencer’s face!
Something must’ve shown on my face because Sparrow – or what used to be Sparrow makes a hiss at me as she jumps on the table and runs to me. I spin around and grab the closest thing I could use as a weapon, a vase. As I spin back I manage to hit the thing over the head as it jumps on top of me. I only dazed it, but that’s enough time to shove it off me and stand up, looking for something else to use against it. But I didn’t find anything in time, it’s jumped up and has knocked my legs from under me, I fall in a pool of blood and glass as the monster puts it’s feet next to my hips. It straddles me and crawls up my body, this would be so much easier to ignore if it wasn’t a 12 year old girl doing it, it’s just wrong. But I remind myself it’s not a girl; it’s a thing, a monstrosity. It reaches my face and leans forward; it licks my face and moans - all I can do is lie still and wait for the perfect time to thrust this piece of glass in my hand into it.
I can see blood dripping from it’s hair as it lifts itself up and puts its hands outside my shoulders, I knew Sparrow had a crush on me, but this is just gross, it’s licking my neck, shoulders, then back to my cheek. The whole time I’m still, occasionally giving in to the urge of moving away, but she – it just moves with me. Then it decides to finally stop, but what it stops to do is just, ugh. It removes my shirt and starts licking my stomach. I hear Spencer give a groan, the ‘I’m going to die soon’ kind of groan. Hold on Spence, I’ll be over as soon as the monster that was eating your face is done with molesting me. The tongue stops. I look down my stomach to find it smiling at me maliciously. Its mouth opens, showing me the millions of sharp teeth its child’s mouth holds, dear god. It dives and falls on my stomach, a painful puncture erupts in my stomach, but nothing follows. It seems like it stabbed me then stopped. I wriggle and it falls off of me and onto the floor next to me, an arm on my… um, lower body. Why did it stop?
As I look at the disturbing sight of a disturbed monster dead, a dagger imbedded in its head, where the hell did it come from? Then a crash snaps me out of my trance, I look to my left, to see that Spencer’s fallen over and is half on the chair and half on the floor, but the thing that gets me is that he’s looking at me with sad eyes, and it does more damage to me then Sparrow did. I’m about to sit up and go to him when someone rushes over to him. I can’t see their face but I know who it is, and I know that she’s to be trusted. She’s tending to Spencer, lifting him up and onto the table where she can help him. I decide that he’ll be ok, so I close my eyes and rest, trying to get my head around what the heck just happened, the shard of glass falls from my hand and onto the floor with a small pinnng.
