Chapter 9 by SmallestStories SmallestStories

It ends as quickly as it starts.

And it's horrible to see.

You ended up looking away from the massacre, as did Aji not long after you, the horrible screams making the both of you eager to be out of it quickly. You looked at each other and, in a silent agreement, turned around to try and go back the way you came.

"You should stop." Said someone behind you, making you both stop dead in your track. "We made a mistake by not closing this access to the street, and I apologize for it. But now you should stay close to me, to not catch a stray."

You were the first to turn around, facing a man wearing a full black costume, a bit like yours. He was tall, way taller than you or Aji, and seemed quite muscular, although his muscles didn't seem that defined under his clothes. He had short black hair, black eyes and his skin was almost snow white, making you, and Aji when she eventually turned around, quite uneasy.

"Come with me." The man calmly said, before turning around and heading towards the group of men still seemingly trying to heal another man on the ground. He obviously expected you to follow, and you didn't want to think about the consequences, so you motioned for Aji to come along and you followed the man.

As you followed him, the screams suddenly stopped, leaving only an heavy silence in the street. You couldn't hear a word for a while, and it didn't help with your unease.

You continued to follow the man, and when he passed the other group, you could see the injured man lying on the ground. Following the man in the costume, what you saw was chilling : when he got past the wounded man, the latter completely froze, looking suddenly devoid of something. It didn't take much more than five seconds before the people gathered around him stood up, and you heard one of them whisper "They are gone..."

Hearing this, you stopped dead in your tracks once more, Aji passing you and walking a bit more, before turning around to look at you, the unease clear on her face, as she said, a flicker or emergency in her tone.

"Are you coming with me ?"

Obviously you are.
