I woke up on a cold stone floor. My head ached and my knees hurt. I pushed myself off the ground. The pain went away as I stood up. I was in a cell. In my cell was a mirror, desk, chair and a bunk bed. I felt my bones crackle and shift as I walked. I cracked my neck and I stretched. I looked out of my cell. Everything was either black or red. People walked with horns poking out of their heads or they had wings. I turned to the mirror to see myself. I looked like the monster in my dreams. "Where am I" I thought to myself. The top of the bunkbed shook and a little boy peeked his head out.
"Good morning Mr Lucro" His voice chirped. "Lucro that doesn't sound right. Maybe it is I can't actually remember my name" I thought to myself.
"Hi uh" I paused. The kid jumped down and held out his hand.
"Names Jimmy" He chirped. I shook his hand.
"Okay jimmy where are we" I asked.
"In Hells kitchen of course" Jimmy said.
"Like New York" I asked.
"No silly we are in prison in Hell" Jimmy said. "Why is a kid like him in hell. I get why I am, but the child" I thought to myself.
"Wait why are you in hell" I asked.
"Oh I did some bad things" Jimmy said with a smile.
"Let me guess you stabbed your teacher with a pencil and cursed at her" I asked.
"No I did that long before I got caught. I'm down here because I murdered my entire school and tore my entire family apart with a kitchen knife" He smiled.
"That's uh" I was cut off.
"Bizarre yeah that's what my other cellmate said before he was taken to the "Chamber"" He replied. Jimmy smiled before jumping back up to the bunk. I gripped the cell bars as the sound of heels clicking filled my head. The entire prison seemed to go quiet. I leaned out of the room to see what was the commotion. A woman walked down her heels clicking on the stone. All the prisoners ran into their cells. Jimmy jumped down from the bunk and his eyes turned to happiness.
"Today's the day, today's the day" he cheered. The sound stopped shortly outside of my cell. The cell door creaked open and the women walked in. Her skin was crimson red and her eyes were a cold black. Her hair was a shade of orange which was up in a pony tail.
"Good Morning Jimmy how are we today" She said.
"Great I was just meeting my new friend Lucro, he won't be taken to the chambers will he" Jimmy asked.
"No we have plans for Mason" She smiled. "That's my name it's all coming back now. I was killed by my best friend" I thought to myself.
"Is today my day Linque. Will I finally see my brother again" Jimmy asked. The woman paused.
"Yes Jimmy today is the day" She said. Jimmy practically jumped in circles. The woman who I assumed to be Linque grabbed Jimmy. She gripped his arms as something began to come out of Jimmy's mouth. The blue aurora jumped around swimming in the air. It dove into Linque. Jimmy vanished. Wiping her mouth she turned to me.
"Well Mason you coming" She asked. I nodded. I followed her out of the cell. People shouted and screamed at me. One of them broke open their cell door. She stopped in her tracks. I watched Linque grab him. His eyes trembled with fear. She whispered something into his ear then he turned to me. Running toward me I rolled out of the way. He pulled out a shiv, trying to stab me I caught the blade. Snapping it in two I grabbed him by the throat. I felt no remorse I wasn't human. Linque tapped my shoulder.
"Behold ladies and gentleman my prised fighter LUCRO" Linque shouted. I felt the man levitate. In one swift motion I snapped his neck. The body dropped lifelessly to the ground. Everyone in the prison went silent. I walked behind Linque to a room. Inside four people sat, stood and chatted.
