Echos In The Catacombs

Chapter 35: Mind Games

Angel's P.O.V

"Lizzie?" I asked.

She responded with a soft 'Hm'.

"How did you know Violet was dying and not dead?"

"I have a weird connection with shadows, more than any other person. They all have their own energy source, or something along those lines." Lizzie started. "Take the guards for example. Back when Klaude said he would deal with them, I felt a strong energy. It was almost pulsating. But as soon as they died... that energy disappeared."

"So Violet's energy was... wavering?" I asked.

"Exactly. She wasn't completely gone, but death wasn't far behind."

"So what do we do? Switch the roles up so it's us looking for them, not them looking for us?"

"We might as well deal with them while we can. None of us know how many more are yet to come."

Here we are.

Face to face with them.

Noire's hands were clenched into fists.

"You killed my older half." She spoke shakily. "What's stopping me from killing you all right now?"

"Nothing's stopping you from killing these fuckers where they stand." Vice responded.

"She's simply too tired. From turning those others to stone, to every tear she's shed for her sister." Lizzie stated blandly.

"Fine then. I'll deal with them on my own." Vice spoke with a crack of his knuckles.

"No you won't." I piped up. "You're not going to be able to deal with a hundred of them, not on your own."

"Angel I have protected you all your life. Do you not believe in me anymore?" Vice spoke softly.

"It's not that she doesn't believe in you, it's the fact that you don't listen to her. You're not on your own anymore Vice, you have us. We're practically a dysfunctional family by this point. We go through this shit as a team. None of us are normal anymore. So just listen to her." Pene chimed in.

"I'm not a baby anymore. In fact I wouldn't even call myself human anymore. I never wanted to hurt anyone, never mind kill them. But life had a different plan for us. We're not just your average run-of-the-mill kids anymore, we're practically weapons of mass destruction." I spoke.

"Sh-she has a p-point." Klaude stuttered.

Vice slowly nodded his head.

I let out a relieve sigh.

"We will meet up with you again. I promise." Vice spoke as he turned to Lizzie.

His trust in her seems to grow more and more everyday.

Vice and I looked at each other then back at the guards.

"50?" I asked.

"50." Vice responded.

All I had to do was the same thing I did with Achilles.....

Except instead of lowering them to the ground, I had to lift them up into the air.

And I had to do this with fifty of them instead of just one.

Shouldn't be too difficult, right?

I took a deep breath, held my hands out in front of me and closed my eyes.

I focused as hard as I could.

I reopened my eyes with a look of rage and I could feel an odd energy radiate off of me.

I let out a frustrated groan and hoisted them 10, 20 maybe even 30 feet into the air.

My hands were shaking under the pressure and I had to deal with them quickly.

Conveniently enough for me we'd wandered far enough away from the town hall whilst running from these fucks that we were in the city. 

Luckily for me, and unluckily for them, the city was empty and there were two tall glass buildings on either side of this wide street.

I quickly crossed my arms over each other, so that my left palm was facing right and vice versa.

25 were sent into each building, which caused them to shatter on impact.

"Uhm, if anyone asks... that wasn't me." I spoke with a little bit of panic.

"And what other fourteen-year-old has telekinesis?" Vice asked.

Vice just looked that the remaining 50, raised an eyebrow, turned away, snapped his fingers and took a glance over his right shoulder.

Nothing happened for a few seconds.

Then, out of absolutely nowhere, several gunshots went off simultaneously and all 50 of them dropped to the floor, each with a bullet wound in their head.

"What in the 7 blazes of Hell did you just do?" I asked in shock.

"I told them to shoot each other. Quite easy really considering how simple-minded they are." Vice spoke with a shrug."
