Tales of Crazy: RusAme short stories

My Brother is a Killer (Part Two)

*Amerus*

I wake up.

I'm in a different room.

There's no door.

I look down. I'm almost entirely a robot now.

I can't move, other than looking around with my one eye.

Suddenly, the robot body start glowing.

I can feel it as if it was my body.

I slowly sit up, trying to get used to it.

I put my hands on the wall and use it to steady myself while I stand up.

I shuffle along the wall. I try to take a step away from it, but I lose my balance and fall.

I try getting up, when a part of the wall opens to reveal Rusame.

He says "I need to fix your balance. Sit on the bed."

I crawl onto the bed, then sit up. Rusame presses on my torso, and a panel opens. He starts messing with the circuitry inside.

I can't feel it.

He finishes, then closes the panel.

He steps back to the wall. "Stand up."

I stand up, nearly falling over, but I catch myself and stand up normally.

Rusame smiles. "Follow me."

He starts walking away. I don't want to follow him, but my body moves on it's own.

I follow Rusame to a much bigger room. There's some people in here.

I recognize Fiji, Jamaica, Haiti, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and Palau.

Rusame locks the door behind us. "So, Amerus, you are going to kill them."

"What?!"

They all run into the maze of objects Rusame set up.

He smiles "I turned you into this so I can send you to kill people for me if I don't want to get caught. Now, your first target will be Cuba. Bring his dead body back with you."

"B-But I don't want to kill anyone!"

"Too bad. Go do it before I kill Mom and Dad."

I whimper slightly, but run into the maze. The robotic eye tracks where Cuba has stepped.

I find him curled up in a corner, shivering.

Target spotted.

My arm glows a bit more. My arm moves on its own, and I blast Cuba with a laser. He dies instantly.

I walk over to his body and pick it up. There's a hole in his chest where I shot him.

I walk back to Rusame, carrying the corpse and crying. Tears only come from my left eye.
