Chapter 10 by TheSpectator TheSpectator

What do you decide to do?

[CP] Wait

You enter the building slowly through the front door. Your grip on your firearm tightens, slightly cursing to yourself that you didn't bring something shorter instead of the full-sized rifle, but you didn't expect a place so...tiny? The figure you saw at the doorway isn't real— it becomes clear that it was a decoy of some kind. You're relieved that you didn't shoot it, but now you realize that there might be a threat inside in there with you. You look around the room but don't see anything. There are few closets that you need to check before you can feel safe, however.

You exhaled and stared at the first closet, the one furthest from the front door. You step forward and open it with your hand, having your rifle pointed somewhat downward, so you don't blow off any fingers in case there's someone on the other side. The closet is empty but has some clothes inside, which look better than the building. You poke around, trying to find anything useful. When you come up empty-handed, you retreat to the main room and check the other one.

This time, your senses spur. You have a real reason to believe that there might be someone behind this door. You shoulder your rifle and tell the unseen person on the other side to step out and warn them if they don't come out, you'll start shooting. Bringing your rifle’s stock to your shoulder, you wait for a reply or some kind of reaction. Your instincts aren't usually wrong, but as full minute rolls by, you think that maybe this time it is... Keeping true to your word, however, you shoot one time.

As soon as the bullet splinters the wood and goes through the building, a hooded/cloaked figure jumps out, luckily(?) unharmed by your attack. It's clear that they are panicking, however, as they stumble out and nearly fall. You pull back the bolt and shoot again, but it's off target and misses. There's no time to pull the bolt back on your gun a second time. During your struggle, they flash you something silver and long - that's a knife! Using the buttstock of your weapon, you knock the blade out of the person's hand, which makes them yelp and drop the knife. The knife clatters on the floor between your legs. Judging by the yelp, you think it's a girl. That doesn't stop you from using the fore-end of your rifle to bash them on the top of the skull, however. Once you've disarmed and undoubtedly caused some damage to them, you drop your rifle and tackle them to the floor before they react and counterattack you.

They struggle under your weight and grunt a lot. Though slightly confused, you don't let them stand back up. You knock her back down on her back and tear the hood off her head, only to see a mask. You hear her scoff behind the fabric. "You gotta finish me off, tough guy?"

You curl your fingers around the fabric of her simple black mask and pull it off. Dark blond quickly flows out and pillows her head after falling back down to the floorboards behind her, causing her to grunt in pain again.

"Ouch! Lay off a bit! You already won!" For the first time, you notice her eyes. A dark blue iris fills a circle in the center. For someone trying to kill you, she was actually kind of hot. Shaking this thought out of your mind, you demanded a reason for her being here. She refused to answer even after you threatened to tie her down and break both of her legs.

She responds to your threats with a sarcastic gasp and a mocking tone. "So, someone who's done this much to me already would do further harm if I didn't do what they wanted me to do? You're kidding me!"

Her voice was mimicking an accent of **** royalty. "How barbaric!!" She continues to make sarcastic and bitter remarks about the situation. The only way to get her to stop was a strong backhand across the face, which caused her to curse and spit at you.

"Ow! God damn it, asshole! That hurt!" You pin her down and lay on top of her to make sure she can't escape somehow. You begin to pat around her body and undress her from her hooded cloak. However, before you can get far, she stops you. "There's no need to strip me out of my cloak, is there? Surely there's some better way to keep me in check?"

Better safe than sorry?
