Chapter 12 - Demon

The lights flickered as 935 passed them, he could not hear nor feel a sound of life around him as he walked down the halls.

*SSSHHHHHHKKRRRRRRR*

The speakers on the let out shrieking sound. Then a man's voice was heard through the speaker.

"935 WE HAVE EMPTIED OUT THE BUILDING." The moment he heard those words he paused and listened.

"COME OUT PEACEFULLY SO NO ONE GETS HURT" The man added

"They are threatening us!!" The voice in his head said in a malicious tone.

"I know" 935 said with a deep frown "If they want peace..." he said as he continued to walk "I'll make them beg for it"

.....

Soldiers surrounded the building, all of them heavily armed to the teeth. They stood in front of cars and a helicopter hovered above the building.

It was dark as the moon blessed the earth with its light. The soldiers stood guard waiting for their commanders orders.

"Commander Stone, the vitals of the soldiers that went in are all off," A soldier said addressing his commander "Should we go in and-"

The commander cut him off "They are dead, we have sent it a message and it has chosen what it wanted. It can't die, but we can make it wish it could." The commander said and turned to the others. They were about 70 soldiers in number, he looked at all of them. They all looked ready to battle, even at the cost of their lives.

Commander Stone let out a sigh "That thing has already killed more than a hundred of our comrades i am sure you are all aware of that." Stone said calmly "I will not force you, but i need 50 men to go in with me and put a stop to that demon while the other 20 stays as backup, its not an order but a request. Only those who are ready to face death should come forth"he added.

The soldiers remained quiet as they listened to him through their coms. None stepped forward for a while, but after a few more seconds more than 50 soldiers walked forth, ready to battle. Stone happy by his platoons bravery stuck to his words and picked out only 50 out of the ones that stepped forth and urged the rest to stand incase they lost. At least they'd have worn 935 out before he faced them.

The helicopter still flew in the air, shining a light on the building as it hovered around it. Stone led the others inside the building. They entered cautiously their guns in front of them with a finger on the trigger.

"I don't see him" the moment the soldier said that, the light illuminating the space they were in suddenly blew up. The glass fell to the ground. The soldiers turned in the light on their helmet and looked around. Everywhere was silent, the only thing most of them could hear was their breathing and heartbeat drumming in their chest.

Suddenly the sounds of bone cracking echoed through the walls followed by a thud, they all looked to see a soldier dead on the floor.

"What the-" the soldier didn't even get the privilege to finish his statement as swiftly a pair of tiny hands wrapped around his head and forcefully turned them back.

"What did you say?" his mate beside him asked as he looked at him only to see his head abnormally facing the back, his body fell on his knees with a thud and then it fell forward but with its head facing the ceiling. "Fuck!!" the soldier cursed as he looked around, he looked to the wall and saw a short figure standing by a corner "He's standing by the walls!!" the soldier said as he began to rain bullets at 935.

The other soldiers joined him, but 935 didn't wait for any of the bullets to hit him as he ran round the walls and into the crowd of soldiers. In their frenzied shooting they even shot their fellows while 935 made quick do of them, killing some of them as they reveled in their confusion.

"STOOOP!!!" Stone yelled as he seized fire. His voice prompted the others to stop their frantic shooting and face him. Stone looked around, he had a mixture of anger, despair and shame as he saw the body of his soldiers sprawled on the floor.

Their blood gushed out of their bodies, coming together to form a blood pool. Stone clenched his teeth as he felt partly at fault "You demon come out if you dare!!!" he yelled. Everywhere was quiet only for them to hear laughter coming from all over the place. The laughter got louder and louder, with each passing second.

"HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA! HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAA!"

A small camera on Stone's shirt pocket let out a flashing red light, this is what Director Cross used to view the situation from the safety of his White room. The three large monitors were on as well, they all watched what was going on.

"HE TRULY IS A BEAUTIFUL WEAPON." Black complimented "HE EVEN USED THE SOLDIERS AGAINST THEMSELVES, HE CONFUSED THEM AND TOOK ADVANTAGE OF IT, TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE FEAR THEY HAD WHEN FACING A SUPERIOR BEING THAT CANNOT DIE" Black added with so much excitement in his voice.

"GLAD YOU ARE HAVING FUN WATCHING YOUR MEN GET KILLED" Cecile said sarcastically.

"OH PLEASE, IT'S NOT LIKE THEY ARE DOING THIS FOR FREE" Rover replied back.

"PRECISELY" Black said with delight.

While they spoke, Director Cross watched everything, tensed as to the possibility of them failing to retrieve the subject.

.....

The soldiers had their backs facing each other as they looked around. They eyes scanned their surroundings. Stone sees a 935 open a door and rushin in "After that worm!!" he ordered and all the soldiers went after him, rushing in after him.

The door led to a flight of stairs, they followed the sound of his footsteps up the flights of stairs. "Halt!!" Stone cried out as he stopped and his comrades halted behind him. He listened trying to hear 935's footsteps but they couldn't hear a thing.

"Do you think he made it up the roof commander?" a soldier asked Stone.

Stone replied "I'm not sure."

Meanwhile a few flights away, 935 stood on the bar railings of the stairs and watched them, he counted them slowly, watching their movements and checking for injurings.

935 muttered lowly "29" he said as he looked over at Stone, he could see signs of him bleeding on his shoulder. "10 injured" 935 said. A smile stained his face and he licked his lips "Quick kills"
