Chapter 65: Fall
When I unlocked Devil out of his cage, he started going on a rampage using my body. I am letting my other half take control of our body while I stay back and mourn for Lara's death. I sat in a dark room with an old school television and a sofa that I am sitting on right now. I looked at the TV and saw just my face reflecting off the screen.
When I saw the misery in my eyes, I had thought of myself what if I stopped Lara from going in by herself. All of a sudden, the Devil appeared right in front of me with a stoic look on his face.
Devil: "don't think that you could stop Lara from doing what she wanted to do; even if you tried, she would resent you for her entire life." he said while sitting down on the sofa. I looked with anger in my eyes and was about to deny his claim, but he reasoned with me first. "Look, man, I am you, and you are me as much as you wanted to think of other ways to stop Lara from going alone, all of your plans will lead to us being hated by her"
He then suddenly disappeared again without notice. I waited in that dark room for what feels like centuries looking at my reflection on the TV contemplating. While I was looking at the TV, suddenly the TV turned on and saw myself choking someone I didn't know.
Devil: "I want you to repeat what you said who killed the girl who entered here before." he said while lifting the man with one arm. The man who we raised in the air looked at us in terror as he struggled out of our hands.
Solarii: "his name is Dmitry, he was the one who first beat up the girl." when we heard his words, every reason became red. The Devil squeezed the man's neck and asked another question.
Devil: "where is this man named Dmitry?" the man looked at us with terror and with a shaky voice.
Solarii: "he is up there." he said, pointing at the Palace top level. When the Devil saw this, he squeezed the life out of the man in our hands.
Devil: "you hear that Joseph, we will get our revenge for Lara." when I heard his words, my blood boiled in anger as I agreed with him. The Devil felt my passion and just smiled wickedly as he started slowly walking towards the towers leaving behind a river of blood behind us.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything was a blur when we walked towards the top floor; nothing significant came into mind as we walked our bloody rampage. We only heard screams of pain, and the walls painted red with some of our blood that was spilled by accident.
I don't if Devil is just careless, but he would not care if we are being shot. He only ran towards the shooter disregarding the wounds we are accumulating. I don't know if its the help of adrenalin, but the pain from being shot seemed nonexistent.
After reaching the top floor, we kicked the two giant doors in front of us. There we saw three people in front of us. But what got our attention was the man that has Lara's weapon. When we saw this, everything became red as I started walking towards him. My blood boiled in excitement as I got near him. I don't know when the Devil gave me back control of my body, but I didn't care; I just wanted the man who killed Lara to die a bloody death.
But suddenly, there was a man who had a stick coming towards him with a worshiping gaze. I didn't care about him, but he was in my way, so I lifted him with one hand and threw him out of the room. I then continued my walk toward the man named Dmitry.
I didn't know who he grabbed; I didn't focus on who he just caught. I didn't even bother looking at the person he just grabbed. I just walked towards him and used the blades that were floating near me.
I didn't even lift a finger when I stabbed him. I then lifted him in the air and looked at him with a disturbing smile on my face. My blood boiled in excitement as I saw the terror in his eyes as he looked at me. He coughed out blood then asked me a question.
Dmitry: "why did you do this to me, aren't you here to get your new queen." he said while coughing blood out of his mouth. I looked at him in confusion about the new queen, but I let it go since I have one goal right now to have my revenge.
Joseph/Devil: "I heard that you are the one that killed Lara," I said while feeling that everything around me slowed down. I severed everything he got as I plunged my blade at his head slowly. When I finally saw that he was dead, I felt numb inside like I didn't understand what I wanted in the end.
I don't know if the Devil or I noticed another person in the room we turned around and saw Sam. who is looking at us in fear. But suddenly, my heart stopped for a second when I heard someone I thought to be dead.
I slowly turned around and saw Lara. My mind screamed at me to go after her. I slowly walked towards her. But suddenly she shoots an arrow towards me which I didn't dodge. As if a switch was flipped in my head. All the pain I felt when I went up here to have my revenge hit me like a truck running me over a hundred times.
All those bullet wounds I have accumulated hurt like hell, but the pain that felt more impactful for me was the arrow on my chest. I looked at them in confusion; when I saw their faces, they had a terrified look on their faces. I then looked at my hands and saw them covered in blood, and then I realized my entire body is covered in my blood.
I looked towards them to explain who I was, but nothing seemed to come out of my mouth when I saw their terrified look on their faces. When I saw Lara, who looked terrified of me, I felt something inside of me break.
I turned around and started walking out of the room, not wanting them to see me. I looked at my chest and saw the arrow barely, hitting my heart. I was going to pull it out when suddenly something exploded underneath my feet threw me off balance.
I wanted to run away from that floor, but the pain all over my body prevented me from moving excessively. Then something exploded next to me, throwing me out of the building. The only thing I saw was the dark sky. I know I am falling to my death as if accepting that I am dying. I closed my eyes, hoping that this will be a painless death.
But instead of landing on the hard ground, I landed on a haystack. I looked at this in surprise, but that didn't last long. I heard more explosions nearby, and I knew that I needed to haul ass if I wanted to survive from this.
I started forcing myself to run a bit faster, I didn't even bother pulling out the arrow on my chest as I ran towards the exit, but luckily I was already out of the palace wall. But my luck ran out when the bridge I was standing on collapsed on me, which didn't get me enough time to react.
While I was falling to my death again, I extended my hidden blade and stabbed it on the rock surface, which slowed down my fall.
But unfortunately, that didn't last long as my blades broke in half, which made me fall again. I then tried to use my blood knives to slow down my fall, but I was too late. I hit the ground on my back. Thank god I didn't fall face first while the arrow was still stuck on my chest. But the pain from landing on your back hurts like bitch.
All this, the shit I went through made me dizzy and feeling that I am losing consciousness. All of a sudden, I heard a familiar voice nearby, and multiple steps are coming towards me.
Jonah: "Come one, we need to reach the rescue helicopter that Roth called for us…" as I heard the words, my eyelids feel heavy as I slowly close my eyes. "Wait, who is that… NO Joseph is that you..."
The last thing I remember was multiple familiar voices calling out to me.
