The Missing

I Know You

I walk along beside Marky, limping a bit as we amble along in a content silence.
"Prissy," she starts to say. I kick a pebble in front of me like a soccer ball. "Yeah?"
"I see a neighborhood up ahead" she states her gaze fixed on the rooftops just barely visible over the trees. I give her a half smile and nod. "That's where we need to go then."
Wait, I think to myself. Lil was driving me to my neighborhood when this all started, who else was there... Satan... oh my gosh. Satan. What happened to her? Everything is a blur... all I remember is a bunch of glitches... I feel my heart twist, I hope she's ok.. My legs ache from walking, I wonder if we should rest for a while, I look at the shorter child beside me. It's weird being taller than someone. But a good weird. Wth Prissy, can you not stay focused for one second, I know you have ADD but this is pathetic, this is the apocalypse and you're thinking about being taller than someone. I shake my head to clear my thoughts.
"Prissy?" Marky interrupts my internal battle, grateful for the distraction I focus my once glazed over eyes on her, giving her my full attention. "Huh?" I say eloquently, her response is pointing to the entrance of the neighborhood. There's a parking lot along the side and I see something laying crumpled on the ground.

"Marky, I'll meet you inside the neighborhood." I say slowly, as I begin walking towards the thing on the ground. She cocks her head and shrugs, not arguing and begins walking towards the first house.

I don't realize I'm holding my breath until I feel my chest begin to ache and I exhale, and draw in a ragged breath. I feel my chest tighten as I advance towards the thing laying on the ground. No no no, please, my eyes are blurry. I take a few more steps closer and I am hit with the scent of death, and I gag. I move closer using my green jacket to cover my nose and mouth. The person on the ground has a blue jacket and a white dress with blue stripes. Devil horns and a tail. It's Satan. She's barely recognizable, her once bright blue dress is now a dirty red mixed with faded patches of blue. Her skull has been crushed, creating an unusual shape, her intestines are spilling out and I turn away covering my mouth. "I'm so sorry Satan." I whimper, as my mind is ever so kind to give me flashbacks. I remember, the loud
c r u n c h of her skull as the glitch snapped her in half like a twig. Why didn't I do anything? Why couldn't I have saved her?!? I internally scream at myself. I feel my own nails digging into my face, hot tears run down my cheeks. I sniffle, trying to pull myself together. Come on Prissy, she's in a better place now! She doesn't have to deal with this bull crap anymore. I inhale, my breath rattling in my chest as I begin walking towards the house Marky entered.

//sorry for the short chapter, I'm gonna go to bed now. My story is a different POV of Lil and Satans stories. This chapter comes before Satans third chapter.
