"You didn't even take me hostage, and you are already threatening Zeke with me? This is super low!" I shout, clenching my gun, but not aiming it at anyone yet.
Grasshopper's eyes widen, but only for a moment. "Forgive me, but those are the times that require such solutions. Harsh times! Trust me, I don't like this either."
Zeke chuckles, and the sound is full of such dark malice that I think that even birds stop chirping for a moment… This is a sound that makes those seasoned fighters, who surely had faced many horrors over their careers, to shift on their feet in nervousness.
Darkness around Zeke thickens. It's not just some shadows anymore, but a liquid, living thing, ready to spread and strangle.
