Chapter 4: A Brief Encounter With My Own Kind
On March 2, 2033 I took the life of another human being. If there were still police around , I would lie and tell them that it was and accident and that I didn't mean to. But there was no one around to call what I had done a crime. I knew that what I had done wrong, but I was so full of anger and hatred that I just couldn't help myself.
It was early in the morning, the sun had just risen over the buildings and I had just gotten back to my room after being out all night. I had way more than enough gas for my bombs, but I needed money to put on top. I had spent the night raiding various shops and buildings. I returned with what could make about seven more bombs. I was separating the cash with rubber bands and had one left when I someone spoke at the door.
"Hey!"
My first thought was that it was a pony so I quickly grabbed my gun off the night stand and pointed it towards the door. I saw a human standing there looking extremely nervous.U At the sight of another human I thought about lowering my gun, but I had heard of people who would kill others for their resources. I kept my gun pointed at his nose and he raised his hands in surrender.
"Hey man, I'm here in peace, I swear. I have a gun on my waist, it only for ponies. I'll let you take it, I don't care, just don't shoot me." He looked really scared so I believed him. I very cautiously walked up to him and pressed the silenced gun on his temple. His gun was in a holster on his belt. I grabbed it and threw it back behind me. Then I went back about 10ft.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"My name is Marcus Chandler, I'm on your side. I was with the HLF too."
"The HLF?" Anger and memories started filling my head.
"Yes I was a part of that group. Listen, I saw you leaving Central Park twice. know it's you've been bombing that camp, I can help you ."
Can you now?"
"Yes I have lots of experience with explosives from my time in the HLF. I even have some more powerful charges that I left out side."
"You have experience?" I asked, trying to hold back my anger. This guy was digging himself into a hole and didn't even realize it. He eventually said something that would set me off.
"Yeah I played a big hand in the attack on the Bureaus."
"How big of a hand.?" I was about ready to explode.
"I set most of the charges in the New York Bureau and when I got the ok from Breman, I detonated them."
He had done it now, he just admitted to me that he responsible for the way my family had met their end. I breathed in and out and contained myself for one more act.
"Oh let me show me show you around the place. You can stay as long as you want." I used the most happy voice I could manage and cracked a smile. I lowered my gun, but still held it in my right hand. I walked up to Marcus and put my left arm around his back and rested my hand on his shoulder.
He let out a huge sigh of relief. "Thanks man. You don't even know how tough it's been for me. I haven't eaten in days."
"Well I have plenty of food here, But its down stairs. We'll take the emergency stairs, they're quicker."
"Alright thanks man."
I opened the door and for a moment we both stood at the top of the concrete stairs. I closed my eyes and breathed in and out very slowly.
"Umm, hello?"
I opened my eyes and looked him right in the face. "Oh after you." I opened my left hand wide and placed my palm on the middle of his back. From there all I did was extend my left arm forcefully and Marcus fell down the stairs.
It didn't take long for him to reach the wall where the stairs reversed. I quickly ran after him, grabbed his shirt and threw him down again. This time I heard a snap when he fell. When he slammed against the wall I noticed his right elbow was bent backwards. He cried out in pain, but I didn't stop yet. I threw him down once more and his back slammed against the wall. He was now in a seated position.
I pulled my gun and shot both of his knees off. He screams were extremely loud and the echo on the stairs made it worse. I finally raised the gun to his face and he spoke for the last time.
"WHY...Why?!"
I never gave him his answer. I smashed the silencer into his nose and wasted the rest of the clip into his face. I stood there looking at him for a long time. Tears dripped from my eyes as I thought about what that man had done. He had killed my family and had taken many other lives. But I also cried for what I had done. I just brutally killed another member of my species, I lowered our numbers even more.
I was tired and didn't know exactly what to do so I did what my body needed. I went back up to my room, got into my bed, pulled the covers up and tried to go to sleep.
End Chapter 4
Yeah its real short.
This was short, but what was said was powerful
I really want to hear how he finally got caught! OH well, I can wait...
Thats gotta be the worst guilt trip ever .
Boom, headshot.
MOAR!
961678 oops, I didn't even know.
Im sorry but why doesn't humanity unleash an nano-virus , or because its not technical man made a biological (biololjcal) into the barrier.
lets commit a roflacaust
Oh, yes, Celestia. "Perfectly" reasonable. A Bureau gets attacked, so you decide to confirm the reasons why they attacked. Dumb move. Very dumb move. For once, I would like to see a fic in which it isn't kill or be killed, convert or die. I mean, Twilight likes reading, right? Have her read history one WWII and notice the similarities between events, or something! Wake up, you self-righteous chunks of glue and stop being self-righteous "my race is superior" chunks of glue!
Sorry, it's not you, Sherlock. It's just that I've been trying to find a story in which neither side is made of hypocrites and bigots, and so far have been unsuccessful.
Well... at least his family's souls can rest, now that their killer is dead. Me, I probably wouldn't have cried about killing the guy. I'm already about halfway there to being bucket-on-head insane, and that's without any of this *cough, cough* unlikely to happen stuff.
But if it did... well, let's just say the ponies would have something comin'.
