75% Call of the Storm / Chapter 2: Shattered Glass

Capítulo 2: Shattered Glass

One week after bakery incident

I've relocated once again, this time because someone reported a homeless person in the alley and the police didn't really like that. But oh well. I'm not complaining though, I found a very nice place to make camp at. There's a clothing store right on the corner and a restaurant across the street from it. Recently I've found out that the restaurant doesn't close until very late, about as late as the moon's highest point in the sky. As for the clothing store? It doesn't close, it's open all the time. Though the people inside do rotate out and there's a small window where there's nobody there at the front.

Today is the day I go in and grab some new clothes, the ones I've been wearing are too small for me and ripped all over. I decided to wait until what I like to call the "wave", where there are many people in the store at the same time and the matching outfit people are moving all the time and never stopping. This is when I chose to make my move. I scurried inside while hiding behind a large fluffy man and looked around for something that looked like it could fit me. Eventually my eyes landed on blueish pants and a black shirt, it even had long sleeves. I put them on and tried to slip out of the store unnoticed. However, a deafening sound suddenly rang out as I passed the doors and everyone turned to face me. All eyes were now on me and I just froze...

"Why are they looking at me? What's that sound? Why won't they look away?" I thought to myself, and time seemed to slow down to a stop until a voice rang out from the crowd.

???: "A thief!"

As soon as this had been shouted, several strange people in matching outfits rushed towards me with their arms outstretched.Their grip was painful, it hurt, and they didn't seem to plan on letting go anytime soon. One pulled out a strange rectangle and then said, "Sect cure tea" ? Something like that. Two of them then went to block my exit and the ones who were holding onto me began to look around for someone or something.

Using their lack of focus on me, I threw my head back and hit them between their legs, for some reason the man shouted in pain, though I don't think I used that much force. His grip on me disappeared as he crumbled to the floor, and I quickly looked around for another way to get out.

The glass. I could get out if I moved fast enough. I began to run as fast as I could towards the windows and had to adjust several times so I wouldn't run into people. Then I felt it again, my body turned hot, and my hair was standing again...then my eyes closed. It was black for a moment, and in that instance a deafening boom rang out.

Shattered glass. Everywhere I looked there was shattered glass. I had just opened my eyes and I was sitting in shards of broken glass, my knees and legs had small shards imbedded in them. My arms and palm were sliced everywhere. And my head was bleeding from a cut on the top. But I was out, and my new clothes were mostly intact so that's all that mattered for now.

My legs screamed at me with pain as I ran as fast and as far as I could away from the store when a storm suddenly appeared. The rain washed away the dripping blood and made it harder to find my with the trail now that the blood was mixing with the rain water resting on the floor.

When I made it back to the alley I spent a whole picking the glass out of my legs. It hurt. A lot. I was in pain the entire time as I did so, some of the shards were in odd shapes though, as if they melted for a brief second before becoming hard again. The cuts would heal eventually, but for now I just had to suck up the pain and move as little as I could so they wouldn't flare up.

"Hey there pretty girl"

A strange voice calle doubt from the alleyway entrance. I turned to look who had said it, only to find a creepy figure standing there. He had a large body and a large dirty beard. His fists had a strange shiny look to them and his teeth were crooked. He slowly began to approach me with one arm outstretched and the other one for some reason reaching down low.

I didn't know what he was doing but I could tell by the crazed chuckling he was letting out it could not be good. So I clutched one of the larger shards I had removed behind my back in case he got too close.

The moment his hand was about to land on my head, I lounged at him with the glass rased up high which startled him, causing him to stumble backwards. My body hit his upper body and the impact caused him to fall backwards as I landed on top of him and using the speed from falling, brought the shard down into his eye.

"YOU BI-"

He was cut off as I punched him in the throat, causing him to cough his lungs out. I twisted the shard and he cried out in pain as it shredded the eye into bits. I pulled it out and stabbed it right back in, this time reaching deeper than before making blood spray everywhere.

He punched me off of him and it hurt so badly, I found out the hard way that his quirk turned his hands into metal and had a major headache due to the blow. I landed against the alley wall and he approached me and this time tried to choke me with his hands while shouting swears.

My vision began to get blurry but before it could go black, I reached out and grabbed a rusty screwdriver which I shoved into his ear which made him scream out again and let go. I grabbed another shard and once again lounged at him while he was stumbling around. I drove it into the underside of his arm as I rose, which for some reason made that arm go limp, but I wasn't complaining. I pulled the screwdriver out and raised it high, I could see the look of terror in his eye as we made eye contact. I brought it down into his other eye, completely blinding him as the screwdriver hit something hard and a crack was heard.

I removed the screwdriver, and he tried his best with his only arm to hit me off again but it was futile as I had already rose the screwdriver again. This time I brought it down with all the strength I could muster...straight into his neck. I went all the way through, blood sprayed out and his body went limp after a few seconds. The alley was drenched in blood, so much so that not even the rain could wash it away.

(End of gore TW)

-------------------------------------------------------------------

After I had realized what just happened, I knew I had to run away to a new place. There's no way I could hide this and still live here so I ran. Night had already begun to come so I had no trouble staying hidden while doing so.

This time I found an abandoned house to make camp at for the night and decided to do so. I carefully made my way inside, and found somewhere sort of comfortable to sleep. I layed down, extremely exhausted after what had just occured and started to drift off to sleep...

A voice called out from the shadows...

"Who's there?"
