Chapter 16 - Shadow Swarm Man

The sound of the shadow people surrounding both Akito and Snort in the shadow swarm. The swarm started making a sound, it sounded like a thousand flies and bees buzzing. It wasnt a good sound and it was making both Akito and Snort feel anxious. They could try to shoot their way out of the swarm, but they didnt know if they were going to hit anybody or if there was anyone outside of this swarm. It was a no-win situation right now and Snort and Akito looked at each other. They could only try to save themselves right now. Both of them were almost out of ammo anyways and they had to conserve it right now and then they heard laughter, evil laughter. It was coming from inside of the shadow swarm. Then a figure formed inside of the shadow swarm. It was big, bulky and almost looked human. Both of them blinked as they looked at this figure.

Snorted pointed his shot gun at the figure. "What the hell do you want? Most importantly, how the fuck do we get out of here?" He was taking a shot in the dark, most literally. There was no way this thing was going to tell them how to get out of the swarm. Could this be their warden or was it something more sinister? He had more questions than answers. Still, he knew this wasnt good and he had a feeling that Akito never had to deal with anything like this.

Akito had watched the figure form and it didnt look like any of the other shadow people had disappeared. Could this just be negative energy? If these were truly shadow people all they had to go was get rid of the light. Maybe that is why they were trapped inside of this swarm. The shadow people probably knew that they had found away to defeat them and send them back to where they came from. He would be interested in what this creature had to say though. He was waiting to see if this being was actually going to talk. You know in those old movies, when some sort of evil being showed up they usually had some sort of long ass monologue to say.

Akito looked at the newly formed Shadow Man. "You know maybe you should say something. We aint got all day." He was annoyed and wanted to get out of this swarm. He didnt know if it was possible and he didnt know where these things had came from. He held his pistol steady out in front of him. If this thing made any sudden moves, he would fucking fire. It probably wouldnt do much, knowing this thing the bullets would probably have no effect. His bullets would go through the other shadow people and 'kill' them but more shadow people would show up in the place of the shadow people that had 'died' it reminded him of an amoeba or a hydra creature.

Damian watched the shadow swarm and he knew there wasnt much he could do. He couldnt shoot into the swarm, he might hit Snort and Akito and he still had Marcus by his side and he looked at Marcus. "You keep an eye down here, Im gonna check the back." He had grabbed a few extra boxes of shot gun shells for himself. He was going to go into the unknown unarmed. He was just glad there werent that many people here, that meant he didnt have to defend everyone. While Snort and Akito were in the swarm he needed to make sure this place was safe so they could all get out safely. Also, he wanted to devise a plan to beat the swarm. He thought if he shut off the lights they might go away, but the shadow people had sucked up so much light energy, so if the lights did go off it was guaranteed that the shadow people would go away. He really hated being this smart, it was a curse. Marcus looked at Damian and nodded and smiled. "Alright, Duck-Boy." He saluted Damian and jumped off of his shoulder and landed on the bag filled with guns and ammo. Damian rolled his eyes at Marcus. "Duck-boy, really?" He was never going to get used to that. He knew that Marcus didnt mean it an annoying mean way. He's just never been called that before. It was a strange title, eh, it didnt really matter at this point.

He figured this is what it was like to live in a horror movie. He held his sawed off shot gun in one hand as he ran towards the back of the store. He made it to the pickup area that also had the rest rooms by it. That is where Marcus said he had heard some weird sounds. He heard some demonic snarls coming from the mens bathroom. He cautiously walked over to the bathroom and kicked the door open. As soon as the door opened a demonic looking dog with red eyes lunged at him and that is when he pulled the trigger on his shot gun. He had shot and killed the demon dog in mid air. His heart was pounding really fast now, when the dog hit the ground it started to bleed out. Its blood was black and then the body of the dog vanished. He looked down at the ground where the blood and the dog had been.

He knelt down and put his hand where the dog and the blood was, the ground was wet but nothing was there. "This is fucking weird." He didn't know if this was the only weird sound that Marcus had reported. He wasn't going into the ladies room. Nope, not going there. Maybe he should check the loading area or where the gardening stuff was. He bet that Akito never thought to close that area off and that is probably how Akito got into the Wal-Mart anyways.
