Announced Dead Hunting spree
When she trains, she remembers how at first she didn't like to kill. How the people that came in, despite the crimes they committed, she wished no harm on them, especially from her. But now when they have her do it, she goes into a trance, pushing the real her into the farther corners of her mind. Nothing really snaps her out of it; not even the splashing of warm blood on her face if she isn't careful. She stretched her arms out, taking even breaths as the new enemy appeared into her observation room. It was more of a gym, secluded from the rest of the people, with a onew way mirror glass lining up all around it. Sometimes, the scientists watched her form the other side, making sure she never hesitated to give the killing blow. She almost never did. This time though, they had her doing something different. They placed on an adhesive glove with small pockets at the fingertips. She looked at one of the people that were placing it on in confusion; they were
Announced Dead Healing stage
They lift Celia up like she's a sack of meat, her skin peeling off into the Handler's gloved hands. She cries out, and bares her canines, but they have her muzzled, the manacles dragging her out of the tub. Using a chain that connects her manacles to is, she's tossed on a metal table. It's agony to lay down, the texture of the blanket rubbing her slow healed body. A doctor walks in, holding a needle that glistens in the distance, and Celia's eyes widen in horror. It is the biggest fucking needle she had ever seen. If she fights, it will hurt. If she doesn't move, she will get a giant shot inserted in her arm. She cries, the salt in her tears hurting her face. The doctor shows no emotion as she plunges the needle into Celia's arm, a sudden cold feeling spreading throughout Celia's entire body. Numbness creeps along, and an exhaustion overcomes her. She closes her eyes, and sleeps. "What have you done?" A voice says, making her eyes open. She's not sure if she's awake or asleep, b
Announced Dead Observe
This was a disaster. Astra stared through the glass, a frown on her face. Dr. Rogers was typing on his tablet, rubbing his temple. Celia had managed to escape. There were dead bodies piled everywhere and she managed to run away. Astra waited for Dr. Rogers to say something, anything. Instead, he slammed the tablet down, ripping off the glasses from his face. "I just had to send the team out to find those wanted fugitives WITHOUT the weapon they demanded, and the Director is on my ass now!" he shouted, his hand going towards the tiny black remote. He glared at Celia through the glass, and Astra placed her hand over his, holding it in place. "That won't help you any." She said softly. Annoyed, Dr. Rogers ripped his hand away, muttering swear words. "I have to break her in some more." He replied, walking over the scattered remains of the tablet. Pulling out a new one, he was typing in it, frowning in concentration. Astra sighed, wiping her palms
Announced Dead Mistakes were made
Astra knew she messed up. She struggled to get up, gagging at the sight and smell of blood. A man was screaming in agony at the loss of his foot, she stood on shaky legs. This wasn't how the plan was supposed to go, and in the hallways, she could hear Dr. Rogers panicking as he couldn't put Celia done with the shock collar. What hell have I gotten into now? she thought, limping to the doorway. There was a stand off going on, Celia's eyes red with frenzy, and from the distance, Astra swore she saw a drip of blood drip down from her eye. Was Dr. Rogers still shocking her? A sudden burst answered her question, as the everyone in the hallway went flying. She watched in horror as Celia grabbed Astra's lab coat, and took off, running around the corner. A guard, struggling to his feet, grabbed his weapon, getting ready to shoot at, another person slamming the guard down. It was Dr. Rogers, and he was screaming into his face, a wild punch knocking the guard out. The s
Announced Dead Part III: Jonathan
The sky is cloudy, and gray, the "smell" of rain in the air. It was crazy how I could tell from real and to what's not. Zomb, Caia, and Nova are behind me, Zomb's eyes scanning the area nervously. She doesn't look scared which means there shouldn't be anything to be worried about. Entering Main City had been difficult, the city knowing Caia, and sending out an alert to all Officers on duty. Zomb is busy looking out for them, as we enter in the territory of no point in return. Caia looks calm, focused, Nova clumsy. She's not use to so many rules, and how she has to jump away from the public eye. I will admit, Main City has changed in the years since I last lived in it. The buildings have overtaken most of the land, so high, I'm surprised they don't touch the sky. Cars fly now, and I watch as a building0 builds itself. Main City has advanced alot in technology, and I smile a bit. But then I remember Celia, and the bubbling anger returns. During the trip, Zo
Announced Dead Just you and I
Caia and I are quiet for a long time, as she looks in the distance, her eyes far away. I want to say something but decide against it; I don't have much to say.As we sit atop the building next to each other, Caia begins to talk, saying that she was from the poor side of Main City, saying she tried her hardest to get ahead in life. She had studied her ass off, attempting to pass all of her classes to move on forward, her motivation being her family.Caia cleared her throat as she began to talk about the night she had gotten kidnapped. She had been getting ready for her last test that would determine if she would be a Official, or a Peacekeeper. Caia hadn't really cared about the title, only cared about the credits she would get. Both paid enough to get her out of the slums of the poor side of Main City, and as her mother's health was declining, and her father was killing himself in doing risky jobs for a small sum of money, Caia thought it was her time to step up. And step
Announced Dead We are the hunted
Zomb lead the way, following her nose. She said she could sniff out danger a mile away, and I felt like we should have taken her a bit more serious. As the slums grew further away, and we snuck into the property line where middle classes lived, I could feel my anxiety growing. Zomb stopped though, and her left eye twitched. "Something happened." she murmured, and she looked around again. I was curious to know what she meant, but at the same time, I could feel my pulse rising, the muscles in my stomach pumping as my body filled itself with adrenaline just in case. Nova looked afraid, and it was only Caia who remained calm, a blade glinting in the palm of her hand. I tried to recall all the training I had gone through as a child, silently cursing myself thatI had gotten us into this mess. Without saying anything, Zomb shoved us forward with a hard push, pointing that we shoul run forward, in a direction away from Main City. I wanted to argue, but her eyes were slitted
Announced Dead Time of Confusion
In the chaos, Zomb led us away from the packed people trying to stop the kids. We ducked into an alley, Nova trying to catch her breath as she leaned on the building for support. Meanwhile Zomb slammed her fist against the wall, making a dent in the brick structure, as she paced angrily, swears coming out of her. "Jonathan, what the fuck was up with that Caia chick? She's on our side and then suddenly decides to go after Celia? The person we were trying to save?!" she spits out, cursing some more. I don't know what to say because what could I say? We were in danger, and Caia had the Retreat's location, and so many people who were going to be arrested for it. And we had led her straight to Celia. I could feel the stress settle on my shoulders, and I tried to fill my lungs up with as much air as possible. "What happens now?" Nova asked, and I froze. This would effect her too. If Caia went back and identified the three of us, she was also going to be held in Mai
