AN: A little dark and grim, please be advised.
-----------------------
The journey back was smoother than Alex thought; somehow, the zombies were cleared from this part of the school.
Who knows when that huge horde would once again descend upon this place? Such thoughts caused Alex to desire to leave here and find a better place to set up a small base camp to farm with a small group to get stronger fast.
'The items are dropping less since the first days; this isn't a good sign.'
Although the hallways were clear of zombies, they were filled with the awful stench of death and decay, various corpses, pools of blood from the students and invading zombies mixed to make a pungent odour.
'We must clear out these bodies. Otherwise, those normal students will die.' Alex thought before grasping their hand, Laura tightly, her youthful look still amazing to him as Maria wrapped herself around his other arm as if competing with Laura.
Finally, after a few minutes, they reached the room; loud roaring and the sound of people being thrown about sounded; Alex felt amused before hearing the voice of his vetsa.
"Shut the fuck up, you goddamn filthy insects! My mas.... leader will come soon, and then we can organise whether you become cattle or mere bait!"
"Y-you don't decide..." Bang! The sound of a fleshy object being smashed before a thud hitting the wall sounded as Alex pushed open the doors with a wide smile.
'Why didn't I know Samantha was so amusing before!?'
Alex, Maria, Laura and Mildred walked through the door as if causing the already tense atmosphere to explode; all eyes turned towards them as he calmly walked forward, moved beside Samantha, and petted her soft blonde hair.
She narrowed her red eyes and hugged his body, rubbing her face against his exposed chest, sneakily sniffing him with her little nose as she took deep breaths.
"Faust~ the bad guys were bullying me!" Samantha acted like a poor innocent girl as the males were on the floor, some with broken fingers and cracked legs, and other's with their family jewels shattered.
Alex might have regained some of his humane feelings, but that was to his women, allies and family. These people were mere ants or workers that would provide the honey and food for him and his vesta.
'How are those abused women doing?' He thought to himself and looked to the second floor; more than 14 pairs of weak, almost broken eyes looked down upon him, their faces filled with hopelessness and dread.
Another male was in charge; they began to shudder and worry if, this time, he would be the one to fuck them against their will.
"Oi! What is going to happen?" One of the angry boys shouted; his courage seemed to spur the others on as they felt entitled.
"Yeah! Why is this bitch attacking us? We never did wrong. It was Jeff and his group!"
Alex looked towards the second floor, seeing doubt and sheer disgust on several women's faces.
'They are lying, huh...'
"Samantha, can you help the girls on the second floor? I want to ask them something," Alex asked in a deep voice, filled with a commanding and serious tone.
Alex lowered his hands, stroking the soft white hair of the mute Maria and the fluffy blue cotton candy hair of Laura.
She wanted to speak, but her heart no longer felt the guilt it did before; even the empathy towards the girls on the second floor was dull, although this was momentary, and she wouldn't be like Maria, and some of her empathy would remain.
"Maria, break every male's limbs, then drag them here and pile them in a line, no matter how much they whimper or scream. I don't care if they are innocent; the truth will soon follow."
A shimmer in intellect shone within her beautiful ruby eyes as they looked into each other's faces for several minutes before she nodded, a small voice sounding from her lips, hoarse but close to human words.
"O...k!"
Alex watched as Maria skipped over towards the other side of the lecture room, his eyes narrowing before a loud snap sounded.
"Ahhhh!? W-why!?" A boy with his right leg torn off began to scream and shudder, his body trembling in shock. However, Maria wasn't finished, taking out a small lighter from her pocket and began to burn the bleeding flesh of his stump.
"Arggggggh!!!! H-heeeeelp!"
'Oh wow, she's quite violent!' Alex thought; however, there was no moment his eyes or body felt anything wrong; there was nearly no empathy inside him for these men.
"Don't kill them, Maria." He shouted to make sure.
The screams and wails continued as she began to maim and wound every male, ensuring they couldn't fight back.
If they pissed themselves?
It didn't matter.
If they proclaimed innocence?
It didn't matter.
If they begged for mercy?
It did not matter!
Maria caused great terror for the boys, with the scent of blood and urine filling the far lecture room, causing a sense of disgust for the ghouls.
However, it was self-inflicted, so he didn't show it. Instead, Maria kicked their crotches with a displeased face.
The girls heard their suffering; deep inside their hearts, they all felt happy, sneering at the bastards that hurt them, both physically and mentally.
Samantha helped them slowly to the second floor; some of them trembled uncontrollably and urinated when close to Alex as he looked across their worried faces before taking several steps back with a slightly apologetic smile.
'These will become my vesta or die; let's give them a better impression.'
"Mildred, can you help them clean and give them new clothes after this? A man like me cannot understand their needs, especially after everything."
He paused momentarily, seeing her slight pout while standing behind him, her bow always ready to shoot and protect him.
"I can only trust you with this, as you still retain empathy and human qualities. Please, will you help me?" He asked with a softer voice, the charming smile on his devilish face causing her heart to throb momentarily.
'He knows I suffered the same and wants me to help them; it seems he remembers at least!'
"Hmmph, well, I can help them! It's not a task for someone lacking a humane touch!"
Mildred might not have realised, but the pout on her face transformed into a vibrant smile the moment he asked a favour from her, which was quite adorable for him to watch; this girl was such a difficult woman, yet he was starting to understand her.
She then skipped to Alex, taking his bag from his shoulder, before darting towards the far wall and began to look through her bag and the spare ones that were carried by Alex earlier,
'Cute little Mildred, you cannot escape my grasp.'
Alex turned back to the girls, his face neutral but trying to appear solemn and soft to them, not wanting to seem like the boys from before, and they closed themselves off for good.
'These women have given up; there is almost no chance for survival, but why would I make this discarded trash into my vesta?' Faust thought.
"Samantha." His voice was husky, causing her to turn to him immediately.
"Yes!!"
Samantha looked delighted whenever he spoke to her, their recent fight and bonding causing her to feel a strange rivalry with the other ghouls around him.
"Make the women point out each male that abused them, then have Maria drag those males closer."
"E-eh!?" One of the abused women gasped.
"N-no... not again!" Another cried as she dropped to her knees.
"This isn't a question; it's an order; point out the males that violated you; otherwise, I will let them do it again!" Faust said, his voice charismatic and devilish.
Upon hearing these words, Mildred began to shudder and felt it was cruel to threaten them like this; one moment, he was kind to them, but suddenly, now, he became heartless, just like a ghoul!
"P-please.... don't make us...." A taller woman, her eyes more vibrant than the other violated women, short brown hair down to her shoulders and light grey eyes.
Faust turned towards her, his eyes narrow like a hunter looking at prey, there were no words, but she felt a terrifying sensation, dropping to her knee's as she couldn't stop her trembling fear from his violent aura, those eyes looking at her like meat and nothing more.
'I... I don't want to die!' She thought, driven to the brink of death; she made a decision and then pointed towards two males, one of them the boy whose leg was ripped off, the other a nerdy-looking boy with broken glasses.
"Nnooo! Stop!!" The stump boy cried out, Alex thought his name was Wesley or something, but it didn't matter; he would die soon.
"W-wait... I always love her... so... It was my love!" Screamed the nerdy boy.
However, his words seemed to trigger several other women to become angered, feeling as if their bodies were treated like tools by men like this, as they began to point at more and more boys until only a few were left on the ground.
Three women were yet to point out who violated them as they all rocked on the spot, muttering jibberish and shuddering in fear.
"Kill them."
Faust said his words were never to be misunderstood by his vesta; he was not ordering them but by the women who were violated.
"Maria, give each of those that spoke a weapon, have them kill their aggressors, tear them apart, rend their flesh, do not let them have a quick death."
Faust looked at the three women, still avoiding his gaze as they tried to move away.
"Make them suffer."
His last words were eerie, making all the non-ghouls terrified, as he walked towards the three girls who refused to point them out while he hummed a strange tune that didn't suit the sombre atmosphere.
Faust grabbed the hair of all three girls, his extreme strength tearing their hair as they whimpered and screamed, forcing all of them to watch.
The first girl, her name wasn't known to Faust, but she held a small dagger as her messy brown hair filled with sweat swayed; Maria gave her a bottle of water to drink as she gulped down the entire thing before she stabbed towards the boy with glasses.
"Hah!" She gasped as she struck out.
"Gyaaaaaaaah!!!!"
The boy tried to move, but Maria stomped on his chest as he was powerless, the dagger drawing close as it cracked his glasses, penetrating his right eye, causing a popping sound to fill his ears as he began to squeal like a pig.
"Haah! Argh! Nn! Ghh!! Die!! Die!!! Die!!!!"
"Aahgh! S-stop... H-help!!! Arrrrgu.... gurkk!"
As if the valve on her broken heart was torn open, tears began to ooze down her cheeks as she carved the screaming boy's body, tearing his cheeks, pulling out his teeth by slicing through his gums.
Her body felt hot, like something had changed, not understanding that Maria had already fed her a bottle of water contaminated by Alex's Saliva.
"What splendid massacre," Faust said with a faint smile.
It was a melody to his ears as the boy's cries were the piano to her forte.
At this moment, a new vesta was born, filled with intense hatred, desire, and sweet release filling her body as she grasped the boy's small member before tearing it off with the rusted knife.
Her twisted voice sounded moments later as small red glints filled her eyes.
"Ah, I loved killing you, too; it felt so good~ can you die for me again?"
