Chapter 9 - Massacre and Sky
Silkie POV
"Hmm, wonder what I should make today?"
After a lot of trial and errors and using control z, it stopped.
"Yeah, I'll make the body like that. A slender build adapted for tree life."
"And frills and horns for design."
"Now, the wings. I want it like an insect's wings."
"Too bland. Umm, maybe I'll add some dewdrops or something like that."
"There, I guess its done. What should I call it?"
"I know! Drones! Like, the male worker bees."
"That looks weird."
"No, its great! In fact, I need some ocs of these guys."
"Meh. Whatever."
Then, the place I was in got darker.
"Alright, I need a main character obviously. But I want her to look colorful."
"Her colors should be contrasting to each other, like red and white."
"Now, eyes. What about sky blue?"
"Wait, no. What about cyan? Yeah, thats perfect."
Then all of a sudden, I saw light.
I had no idea were I was. I could here someone's voices.
I looked to see where I was. I was in some sort of light blue world. No features. No people. Just nothing but blue.
"File name: Silkie. One of many to come."
Then, the world faded to black.
I woke up from that dream. I was back in my cell. The voices, the blue world, and the remains of the dream were gone.
I shook my head as I stood up. I shrugged off the dream. It wasn't real. Mom said dreams never happened in real life... maybe.
I walked to the bars of my cell and saw Massacre. He also appears to have just woken up.
"Good morning Massacre." I greeted him. He growled at me. "Stop talking to me, lizard."
"Im not a lizard." I told him. He rolled his eyes and started pacing around his cell.
While waiting in my cell, a sudden thought came to mind. How long will I be here?
I was a bit concerned because of something important coming soon: my adult metamorphosis or me spending 1 day in a cocoon.
Its like my birthday but even better. I'll be getting my wings after waiting for so long!
"Massacre, how long do we stay here?" I asked the Juggerknight. He scoffed in reply. "Don't you know how prisons work?" He asked. I shook my head.
He sighed. "A prison is where you keep people who did something wrong for as long as you want." Massacre explained.
Wait, what? "But I didn't do anything wrong." I told him. He shrugged. "Then you're some sort of weapon or valuable to the Chaos Empire." He said.
Weapon? Valuable? I don't understand. "But Im just a Drone. What could possibly make me valuable?" I asked.
"How should I know? Maybe they want some weird lizard thing to use as a trophy to show off to Order." Massacre replied.
"Why?" I questioned. Just then, I heard the door of the prison open. I saw Massacre smirk. "This is it." He mumbled.
There was an Eclipsor who walked, er, flew in. It was a girl pressumably. She went over to Massacre's cell.
"Long time no see, old friend." The Juggerknight smiled. The Eclipsor glared at him.
"Stop looking so smug. Im taking you to Medusa. She said she wants to decide your fate personally." She told him.
Massacre shrugged. "I'd honestly rather die by you, Sky." He said. The Eclipsor, Sky, smirked.
"I would love that. But sadly, it was the queen's orders." She opened the cell door of Massacre.
Massacre just stayed in place. "Come on, Sky. I had a great plan. You would have enjoyed it too." He told the Eclipsor.
Sky just rolled her eyes. "No. Now get moving." She demanded. Massacre shook his head.
"I will never face Medusa. I wouldn't care if anyone called me a coward, but Im not moving an inch." He said bravely.
The other people in the prison soon watched the scene. Sky looked angry. "Coward. Hurry up. You're wasting my time." She glared at Massacre.
Massacre sighed and walked towards her. He followed Sky outside his cell. But then he did something unexpected.
Massacre pounced on Sky. "Get off me!" Sky shouted. But the Juggerknight reached out and grabbed a dagger from Sky's belt.
He then jumped off her and ran far from her. He faced the dagger towards his chest and closed his eyes.
"Finally, I can die." Were Massacre's last words before stabbing himself. He did it multiple times until he dropped to the floor, dead.
I watched in terror as blood was all over Massacre. Sky walked to the dead body. She took the dagger in Massacre's hands.
"Pathetic. He was too scared to face the queen." She said before wiping of the blood and whistling.
Then, some Crawlers entered the room. Sky pointed to the corpse and the Crawlers nodded. They dragged it out of the prison.
After they left, I still tried to process what happened. I was shaking in fear as my mind played back the events.
The other prisoners also looked terrified. I wanted to forget that. Why would someone choose to stab themself with a dagger?
While I tried to gather my thoughts, another person entered the prison. This time, it was Marrowkai.
He examined everyone as they were still half frozen in fear. "So that Juggerknight committed suicide? What a fool." He said before walking over to me.
"Medusa requests your presence again." Marrowkai told me as he opened my cell door. I stood up and followed him as he held my leash.
While walking, I asked Marrowkai a question. "Whats suicide?" I asked. Marrowkai looked at me.
"Suicide is when you severely injure or kill yourself on purpose." He replied. "It usually happens to those who are mentally unstable."
"Was Massacre mentally unstable?" I asked, though I had no idea what those words meant.
"Only a bit. He started acting that way when he and Sky broke up." Marrowkai told me.
I wanted to ask more but then I heard a familiar voice. "He just pounced on me, grabbed my dagger, and died right there."
I look to see Sky along with a few other Eclipsors. She heard Marrowkai come in so she looked at us.
"Oh, its the lizard again." She scoffed as she looked away from me again.
