Duck Drama

Chapter 33- Athena

Kill... Kill... I need to kill.... 

To make the pain stop. 

I needed to kill. 

I can see myself killing Theo. His pleading, begging, and screaming at me to stop just made it more easier for me. 

It wasn't like my other self was gonna loose any sleep over his death anyway. Much like my step-mother. I didn't mind the fact I was killing him. 

"Athena! Stop! Dad -. Make her stop!" Theo shouted as I continued to stab him. 

I hear Bradford laugh. 

"You know once she starts, she can't stop." Bradford told him. 

"But -. But I'm your SON!" Theo screamed. 

I snarl at that and stopped stabbing him and pressed the already bloody blade up to his neck long wise. Theo's eyes turned round as flying saucers. He stopped squirming underneath me but I didn't let up on my knees that I have dug into his private area. 

Bradford snorted. 

"A disappointed one at that." He said. 

I paused at my stabbing. 

A disappointment. 

Where have I heard that before? 

I glanced over at my dead step-mother and scowled. 

Were all parents like her? Like Bradford? 

Was I ever going to know the love of a real family? 

The love of real friends? 

I screamed in frustration and sliced Theo's throat in one swift motion. He screamed out, and as I watched his body buck up in the air as blood flowed from his mouth I couldn't help but feel sorry for him not to know of any kind of love. 

He didn't get love from me, and he certainly didn't get love from his father. 

I don't know why, but I leaned down and gently closed his icy blue eyes that stared back at me frozen with fear and confusion. 

I hear Bradford hum softly behind me. 

I glanced back and he seemed to be studying me thoughtfully. I slowly stood up and turned to face him. For a moment, he seemed frightened that I might go for him next, but all I did was slowly walked past him to finish the job I was commanded to do. 

Images of S.H.U.S.H agents flashed across my mind. I can feel my whole body move, but not really knowing what was going on. It was like I was a puppet of my former self. I can hear the other me laughing joyfully in my ears with every swipe motion I made with my arm. 

Then... 

"Good. Good. All is good." Bradford breathed in my ear. "You are a jewel to be behold my dear." Bradford whispered. 

I could feel Bradford close behind me. I was panting and coated in sweat but I shook off my tiredness, stood straight up as I feel his hand on my shoulder.

"But you aren't done just yet." Bradford continued. "You still have at least two more S.H.U.S.H agents to kill, plus, those McDucks." 

I blink. 

 Two faces exploded in front of me. 

Faces I knew well even if I wasn't no longer my old self. 

Scrooge McDuck and Bentina Beakly.   

Both who knew my mother well, and know me as well as Zerha knew me. 

No. No. No. No. NO. 

I didn't want to kill the only two people who actually, and could possibly care about me!
