Cherreads

Chapter 25 - Ch 25 Red

Chaos. All around me was just chaos. Everywhere I looked, there was only death, destruction, and faces filled with fear and despair.

The stadium where everyone just a moment ago were enjoying the time of thier life was now falling apart, burying the same people underneath it.

Everyone, literally every last one of them were just screaming and running, pushing and running over each other to escape, there was no humanity, as if they are just beast trying to survive as I saw a child being walked on to death.

[Live viewers:- 225]

It was a sight I wish I could forgot, no one wanted to remember something as... I don't have words remaining as I just stood there, frozen, looking at everything unfolding in front of me.

Suddenly, the ground started to shake as pieces of concrete crashed down from the stadium roof, crushing anything underneath them, there was no discrimination in it, child, elderly, death came equally for all of them.

A child cried loudly as his voice reached my ear, he was trying to pull his father's arm, trying his best to pull him out but he didn't move him, his legs were tampled by a pile of rocks which refused to bulge.

Nearby, a man was digging through a pile of rocks while crying, one look at his hands and you won't be able to know if they are a human hands or not.

They were bleeding, his nails were already gone, even his skin has been peeled off, fingers were broken and even... Missing.

However, somehow even with all that he succeeded and pulled out a body from all those broke stands, it was his mother's body and he just frozen looking at the body in his hand and then hugged her tightly, she was already dead.

All he did was scream his heart, shout loudly but it's not going to change anything, heaven is cruel, it won't give you back your loved ones just because you want to spend more time with them.

That's why, life is probably the most precious gift, and taking away this gift from someone is probably the biggest Sin someone could commit.

Just looking at a life lost, was a heart breaking breaking but if there are gods, then there are also demons, and they feel nothing about a life lost.

I saw that first hand, when a demon came near the crying man and he has to leave the body and try to make an escape, his mind told him to run but his heart was still against it as he ranned and cried while trying to escape... he failed.

The gaint demon picked him up before eating the whole of his body except his head and tossing it away, atleast they are together when they died, was what I thought when I saw the head rolling beside his mother's body.

After eating one, the gaint walked away, joining other giant para-demons that were roaming the stadium wreaking hovac over everything.

Their huge, twisted bodies towered over the humans as they grabbed anyone they could reach, lifting them into the air before biting into them. Blood dripped from their mouths as they roared and crushed everything in their path.

People were trying to escape, but the demons were too fast for them to escape with thier life, Soldiers tried to fight, but the demons were too strong for them to face, and in the end, everyone who came in front of them were eatin leaving escape the only option.

But that wasn't possible for everyone too, as a woman with a little baby ran and ran, but when tripped, and before she could get up, one of the demons grabbed her and tore her apart.

What happened with the child was something I did not want to see, I knew I would not be able to bear the sight of it, so I closed my eyes and looked away so I won't know what happened in reality.

[Live viewers:- 793]

It was pathetic of me, I know but I am not a hero, I am not even strong, I am just a human... In a world of goldly horrors, I am nothing, not even worth saving for everyone around me as they just ran trying to escape.

'I want to escape,' I want to escape this place, I was terrified of the scenes here, and can't even reset my emotions like I could do in past.

I just can't die here, I have so much to do back home, I have killed a human to reach here, I have taken a life, some which I myself consider most precious gift of all and I have to make my killing worth it, and just for that I can't die but...

I just stood there, unable to move, my legs were frozen, from fear of the beings in front of me that could tear me apart in a second.

[Live viewers:- 847]

No matter how hard I try, my legs just wouldn't move as my chest felt so tight and heavy that I feel my heart sleeping out.

The screams, the blood, the fear... it was too much. I wanted to close my eyes, to make it all go away, but I couldn't.

"I... I can't..." I muttered lightly, no matter how much I tried, I can't escape, I realised this fact the hard way as I saw the demons finally leaving the stands and walking towards the stage.

[Live viewers:- 915]

The Participants too were panicked some even trying to escape while other stood there, not knowing what to do, even Professor from Academy as well as the announcer were equally panicked.

"I will die..." I realised that too, there was nothing I could do, the demons will arrive and rip me apart and my journey would end.

"So, I really was a failure," No matter what anyone said to me, I have always known this fact, even when Emma said otherwise because of her feelings for me and Issac because of his pride.

I am a failure, and not all of me is a failure, the failure is just me.

Because I have nothing special, I am weak, I am easy to control, maybe that's also why the selected me as the main personality.

It's because I am not Insane, it's because I am not intelligent, it's because I am not mentally strong, it's because I am not too coward, it's because I can take a life, and it's because I can save a life as well... It's because, I am the most normal human.

And they are the most easy to control. "If it was someone else beside me..." Maybe they could have done better, maybe they could have survive, maybe they could kill more easily, and maybe they could... Escape.

"I can escape..." I muttered looking at the Incoming demons, the destruction has already reached the stage, the participants were escaping.

[Live viewers:- 997]

Mike too ran away, not giving me a look, for him his life is more important than me but I would have done the same too.

Even his opponent which was giving us mean look a while ago ran like a coward, a normal reaction of a normal human, I would have been just like him only If I could move.

"But I could still escape," I said to myself, so what if I can't move? So what if I can't escape Physically? I can still run away from all this.

This place is already filled with so many demons anyways, it won't matter if I released one more demon here, right?

[Live viewers:- 976]

'A demon living inside me...' with a deep breath, I closed my eyes, I know that if I gave up my control now, then I might be having it back for probably for a long time.

'But I don't wanna die,' I am most normal human of all myselfs, that's why probably I am the most hypocritic, I can kill but I don't wanna die, and even if I die, I don't want to feel myself dying.

[Live viewers:- 995]

And that's why, I forcefully snapped my mind, I reseted my emotions, I achieved my emotionless state, however due to absence of alcohol or injections to numb my other personality to whom my resetted emotions are transferred to, I lost control.

But that was what I was aiming for, that was my escape, and that was the only way I could survive, by unleashing a demon... By releasing... Red.

That was how Evan ran away... For the first... From everything, unleashing 'himself' to this world.

[Live viewers:- 998]

And so, there I stood, not feeling scared anymore. The fear, pain, despair and helplessness, all of them just disappeared disappeared and my mind went quiet.

The sounds around me fade- him faded away, like they were far away, some very distant cries that are in no way related to me.

Slowly, his lips started curling upwards as tears stopped falling from his eyes as a smile appeared on his face.

It wasn't just a normal smile. It wasn't a smile that human gives when they are happy, it was different, it was something sinister, it was something dark.

[Live viewers:- 999]

It was because another part of 'him' has taken control, it's because Evan wasn't the one in control anymore, it's because he was back after so many years...

It's because Red is back standing in the middle of the death and destruction, with demons eating people and screams all around, he showed a genuine smile, one a person have when they feel at home...

*BANG*

Couldn't explain in words what I am feeling after writing this... I loved that... Btw Spoiler about red and his other Split Personality in Paragraph comment, you might read it I'd you plan to drop this but if no, then just skip it. (Note:- All of these Split Personality are himself and if you have problems with more than one people in body, then don't worry, I have plans that he becomes one by accepting himself.)
