TheGameArtCritic on
TheGameArtCriticSam: *As he puts on his coat, his hat, he feels a boiling rage build up in the pit of his stomach. He grinds his teeth at the thought of Blood Puppet - That MONSTER - And walks out, more than a little bent on revenge. Maybe he can take Annabelle from Blood Puppet. Maybe from his cold, dead hands*

mechadragon13 on July 24, 2012, 9:11:21 AM

mechadragon13 on
mechadragon13*ten years pass--despite Sam's best efforts, Blood Puppet is still at large, and Annabelle is still firmly in his grasp. His and Sarah's children have moved on and grown up, both facing problems of their own; though one is a bit more noticeable than the other. One of the twins stands outside the school with his pack of friends--up to no good, as usual*

One Gang Member: *Sees the vice principal coming and silently signals to the others to run, which they do*

Lance: Hey, where are you going?? D:

mechadragon13Claire: *narrows her eyes at him* Do you honestly think I would give my grandchildren up to you, just so you can fulfill your little revenge fantasy, Hobbes? I won't let you have them.

Lance and Emma: *sit perfectly still in their hiding spot, holding each other, eyes wide in fear as they listen in on the conversation*

mechadragon13Claire: ! *steps back quickly enough to dodge the swipe, and shoots. she knew he would probably be able to dodge it, or deflect it, but someone will hear the gunfire. someone will come. please, god, let someone hear.*

Lance: *jumps when he hears the gunshot, holding into his sister tightly, eyes shut tight and his face buried in her shoulder*

Emma: *hugs him just as tightly, but she still pays attention, silently praying that that gunshot meant it was over*

mechadragon13Claire: !! *lets out a surprised gasp as she's stabbed in the gut, with enough force that the blade comes out the other side with a sickening, wet sound. she stares at the blade in her stomach, then glares back up at Blood Puppet with a fierce defiance in her eyes--then lifts her gun to shoot him again, pulling the trigger with absolutely no hesitation*

TheGameArtCriticBlood Puppet: *dodges a lethal blow to the head just barely, the bullet grazing across his mask, scarring it.

Now to take out the rooks. >:/ *he turns to look for the children*

Harry: *CRASHES THROUGH THE WINDOW AND ATTACKS BLOOD PUPPET AAAAHH*

Blood Puppet: !!!??? *He lets out a short scream this time and avoids Harry as best as he can*

Harry: *Bites at his legs, intending to crush his bones*

Blood Puppet: *manages to scramble out of the house before this happens*

mechadragon13Claire: *lays on the ground, one hand over the bleeding hole in her stomach, finding herself completely unable to stay on her feet after Blood Puppet released her. she reaches up with her other hand, slowly running it through Harry's fur* shhh, shhh... it's okay...

Emma: *prays that the silence means it's over. she takes the risk, and slowly pushes the door open, peeking out of the pantry. what she sees is something she'll never forget. she stumbles out of the closet, not even bothering to check if the intruder was gone, tears already gathering in her eyes*

Lance: *was genuinely afraid to follow his sister, and regrets looking out of the pantry as soon as he does so. he follows Emma to where she was kneeling next to their grandmother, the sight horrible enough to instantly bring the boy to unconsolable tears*

Emma: *nods, still refusing to take her hands off her mouth, and runs into the living room, grabbing the phone and dialing her father's number, just like he had taught her*

Sarah: *comes home to find a window broken and the front door wide open. she abandons her groceries in a panic, assuming the worst--and it's exactly what she finds. Claire, dead in a pool of her own blood. She has to cover her mouth to keep herself from crying out in horror*

Emma and Lance: *immediately run to their mother as soon as they see her, clinging to her, sobbing*
