What happened

I've put this off long enough....

What happened that night? You may be wondering why I was a raging drunk a while back. I never really explained what happened that night.

I followed the instructions written on the back of Nick's note. It led to a small abandoned warehouse. Feeling the sickening feeling of deja vu. I continued anyways. Walking in my hand reaching for my dagger. I then noticed that in my haste I hadn't brought any weapons. Gritting my teeth I continued in. I noticed Nick standing underneath a single light, that same devious smirk on his face. I also took notice that Sagari was not present. I turned quickly to leave just as Izzy slammed the door shut behind me.


N: So you came! Good to see your as stupid as I thought you were.

R: So what now? You've brought me here to kill me I assume?

Izzy responded this time with a chipper tone.

I: Yep daddy finally gave us the OK to kill you! Isn't that great dear?

I tensed up as Nick walked forward slowly. When he was close enough he lashed out with his hand. A stinging pain lanced up the side of my face as the back of his hand struck. I retaliated with a swing at his head that he was easily able to dodge. Grabbing my arm he flipped over his shoulder. I layed there gasping for a moment, shocked. He mocked me about how I had never been able to beat him before and to get up because the beating was just beginning. I shakily stood as he slammed his fist into my collarbone, and then into my torso, searing pain exploded along my body as he continued a barrage of punches. I could do nothing but weakly try to block, unsuccessfully.

By the end of his beating blood was trickling from the sides of my mouth and at this point I was thinking how this was it. I was really gonna die.

I: Nick! I'm supposed to be the one who kills hiiimmm!

Izzy whined. Nick sighed and looked to her, shrugging a bit as he gave his neck a slight crack before replying with annoyance present in his tone.

N: Fine, but make it quick. We have to get back.

Izzy walked up to me. Brandishing a knife. She brushed her lips on mine. Mocking me.

I: well Roy looks like this is the end. It was fun.

As she raised the knife. I did the last thing I could think to do. Faster then I thought I could move at that point I touched my hand to Izzy's forehead. Her eyes seemed to become glossy before the warehouse around me disappeared. I found myself outside of a forest, The sun shining.

I had never tried to free someone before. I assumed this was Izzy's mental plane. I walked up to the forest. The closer I got to the forest the darker the sky got until it was night.

I entered forest and I could feel his presence. Following me as I walked. He would appear in the corner of my before disappearing quickly. I moved breaking into a sprint. I wasn't sure what exactly I was looking for honestly.

But once I came to a small clearing to what I assumed was the center of the forest. I knew what I was looking for was here. I saw in the middle lying down.....it was Izzy. She looked as though she was asleep. Sagari spoke as though this would be hard. It seemed all I would have to do was wake her up.

But as I walked forward HE appeared. Instantly one of his tentacles shot forward impacting me in the chest knocking me through one of the trees. I was surprised to find that it actually hurt to get hit in the mental plane.

I got up rushing forward again only to be once again swatted away by one of the many tentacles. This went on for awhile. Finally I was able to sidestep around him. I ran towards Izzy as fast as I could. As soon as I did I tapped her forehead waking her. Night turned to day.

The forest vanished and I was once again in the warehouse. Izzy's eyes focused once more on me and she looked confused dropping her knife.

I: Roy? What's going on? Where ar-BANG

The shot echoed throughout the warehouse. As the bullet entered her skull all I could do was watch in shock as she fell to the ground, blood instantly began to seep into my shoes and clothing, painting the floor crimson. I fell to my knees and cradled her. Just staring at her now lifeless eyes. I didn't even turn my head as Nick spoke.

N: it's a shame really. She was a damn good proxy. I would kill you myself but I feel as though I should let you wallow in your misery just awhile longer. Don't worry though ill see you again. Try not to get anyone else killed, alright?

With that he walked out not before saying they were free to kill me. I didn't even register the words as 10 masked figures came from the shadows. Each brandishing a different weapon. They all snickered as who I assumed the leader was stepped forward. He told the others he would take care of this. Walking forward crow bar in hand.

I laid a kiss on Izzy's forehead before shutting her eyes and standing to my feet. I picked up the knife she had dropped. The proxy charged forward swinging the crowbar aiming for my head. I ducked before slitting his throat. I watched with cold eyes as he fell to his knees choking on blood. The red liquid staining the floor.

The others seemed shocked before charging forward. All at once. I was just one man after all. It was there mistake. I remember the rest in perfect detail. Every broken bone, slit throat, every sliced tendon. This was no fight this was a massacre. I killed everyone with indifference feeling nothing. Even the last one. He was on his knees begging me for his life. Telling me he became a proxy to protect his 6 year old sister. That he was all she had left. I didn't care as I stuck the knife slowly into his forehead, killing him painfully.

I looked around at my handy work then at my blood stained hands. I walked out of the warehouse. Wandering through the streets I went and grabbed a bottle of vodka, throwing the money at the cashier as i left.

As I walked home I felt warm drops of water running down my cheeks. "It must be raining" I thought aloud numbly. I looked expecting to see dark clouds in the sky, raining.

There was no rain that night.

    2. Yeah. I probably need to get some stuff off my chest myself, but... Idk. I've not been as honest as I should be, but never mind. Not important.

  2. I am... not good at comforting people. But if I was, I would be doing my best to now.

    I'm sorry that happened.

    1. It's comforting enough to have someone like you on our side.

  3. You did what you had to do. If you hadn't, they would have killed you.

    In regard to the proxy who begged; most people involved in this -runner and proxy alike- have some kind of sad story to tell. You can't afford to show mercy because of it. They all know the risks of what they do.

    As for Izzy... At least she died swiftly and as herself.

    I know your pain. I'm not going to tell you to move on or that it will get easier, because it won't- not by much anyway. You'll carry this with you everyday, but, as I said before, you must keep going.
