Chapter 53 - Occisor

Thunderous booms followed our every step as if one misstep, and the fray would engulf their movements. A young woman with silvery green eyes and a crooked nose, Auburn hair with streaks of pink and green throughout, laughed as she followed behind, yelling, ranting, babbling nonsense that all of them felt was and knew was insanity. They all knew who she was or who she had claimed to be when they first met. However, her lies and bluffs unfolded to reveal insanity incarnate. She had claimed her name to be Julia, and she claimed to be the sole survivor of her group; now they knew why.

"Weep and tremble before the beauty of this world is nie. Surrender, stand fast, for I will have my way. I always have my way. HOW DARE SUCH CRETINS LIKE YOURSELF NOT SEE THE TRUTH! I am the end, so die by my hand and all shall live on after..." (Julia)

"Brother, I don't know about you, but you have horrible taste in women." (Mark)

"I'd argue back, but right now I'll agree." (Justin)

Simple to say Justin had a steamy night with her after she went out of her way to seduce him. On the first day with her, Anna felt a gut feeling like a trembling pressure that something wasn't right. Her smile was bright and kind, but looking at her, something was wrong. It wasn't till Anna looked into her eyes that she saw what was wrong. Her gaze was like that of a dead fish. It wasn't lively, happy, or hate-filled. Emptyness was all there was to her eyes. Although when she started to flirt, her action put the others off, the only one seemingly blind to the oddity of her behavior was Justin, who offered to get her to a safe place in their group at least till they came across another survivor's camp. She did all she could, and so the others had to bear with listening to their lust-filled antics.

Anna watched the woman become more erratic, acting out when she saw Anna cook and trying to take over multiple times. It was off-putting, but Anna refused to listen to her. Then, one day, they were camping, and Julia tried to sneak a toxic plant into their food. Having spent so long preparing the food, Anna lost her temper when she found that woman putting something that would make all of them unwell. It had triggered her anger, but this time, instead of verbal, she punched the woman in the face.

Thats when things got worse, so they tried to abandon her outside a safe area, so now they are in this situation where that crazy woman is trying to blow them up with a spell.

"YOU KNOW YOU COULD HAVE MADE THIS SO MUCH EASIER ON YOURSELVES!" (Julia)

"Okay, why the hell aren't we shooting her?!" (Anna)

Anna felt a piercing sensation go through her right leg, making her fall mid-run, blood gushing, and bones splintering. Anna crumpled as she turned to look and saw Julia holding a pistol, her dead eyes now filled with mania.

"All you have to do is die." (Julia)

It was painful like dragging shards of glass across the skin. Anna felt like her mind was going haywire, jolting in pain as if she had stuck a fork in an electrical socket. Anna pulled her shotgun from her inventory, her mind breaking down from the pain as she pointed her weapon at the crazy lady. Julia tilted her head before screaming in rage.

"AAAHG WHY WOULDN'T YOU LAY DOWN AND DIE?! LEVELS ALL I NEED FROM YOU ARE YOUR LEVELS SO WHY WONT YOU DIE ALREADY?!" (Julia)

PoP PoP PoP

POP

Justin and Greyson started to shoot at Julia, a barrier forming around her body and an invisible shield protecting her lithe form. Kyle and Mark ran over, lifting Anna as she screamed in pain. Justin yelled, making a wailing noise that rang across the area.

[Your party member has cast Terror's Wail.]

Julia stumbled, and Anna took her shot.

BANG!
