walked
over to my previous seat, picked up my rifle, and tramped over to
the door. My killing instincts were spiraling out of control, so I
decided to take my leave, before I accidentally took a life. I
opened the door, forcing it shut behind me, marching with haste
into the frozen woods. I coughed deeply, my head dizzy and heavy,
and knelt down, a good distance from the house. The dark power
inside of me was awakening, and that was not good. For close to
half an hour, I exhaled deeply, suppressing all of my murderous
instincts.
    Suddenly, I heard screams, coming from the
furthest side of town, followed by gun fire. I stood up, checking
my gun one last time, and darted towards the source of the chaos. A
group of people emerged from the burning houses, all bloodied up,
running away from hooded creatures. On the roofs, the creatures
stalked them, jumping below and mowing down on the nearest victims
they could clutch onto. I sprinted past the people, shooting the
first chimera that was coming out of the house, with blood on its
snout and claws, between the eyes. Looking left, I pumped up the
next cartridge, shooting another creature in the leg. It limped
down, whimpering, and I jumped behind its back, planting the whole
magazine into its head. I picked up the dead creature by its leg,
hurling it at the oncoming creature, felling it to the ground. And
as the surprised creature stood up, shaking its head, I kicked it
to the ground again, grabbing its jaw and yanking it off. More and
more of the creatures, about six dozen at least, were coming out of
the woods, attacking anyone at random. They were not planning on
capturing anyone alive—they were planning on massacring everyone,
and intended to lay waste to this town after.
    “Everyone, get out of the town,” Salyanna
screamed, a horde of armed men and women behind her. “Do it
now!”
    A chimera charged at me, felling me to the
ground, both of its hands clamped on my chest. Jaw open, drool
falling onto my face, it took a deep, mortal bite into my chest,
gushing my black blood into the snowy road. I screamed out, the
pain unbearable, and as I opened my eyes, I held the chimera’s
head, trying to fend it off. On its chest, there was something with
gears moving, attached to what looked like its sternum. I shifted
slightly to the left, reaching for the metal gear, and pulling it
out. The creature struggled, its teeth sinking into my right hand,
and its claws pressed against my shoulder. The eyes of the creature
glowed, the scars on its body hideously grotesque, and its physical
strength was impressive. I curled my left hand, taking several
swipes at its right hand, slicing off its arm from its body. And
before the arm fell into the white snow, I grabbed it and shoved
the severed limb into the creature’s mouth. The chimera growled,
its arm halfway down its throat, and it let go off me.
    “What’s the matter?” I asked, sitting
halfway up, and picking up my rifle: “Something got your
tongue?”
    The chimera stood on its hind legs, pulling
out its arm from its mouth, blood spewing from its jaw. Throwing
away the arm, it turned its eyes towards me, claws extended
outwards, and growled in a fierce manner. It burst into a short
sprint, jumping into the air, jaw wide open and claws pointed
towards me. I raised both of my legs up, stopping the creature by
placing them against its chest, as I shot the creature in the head
six times. It shrieked, for what felt like long second, before
seizing its movement, dead. I twisted my feet, pushing the creature
off me, scanning the area for any other chimera that could be
prowling the area. Salyanna and her friends, I noticed, were
pushing the mutant chimera forces away; however, the tide of this
battle was still uncertain for anyone to be making any successful
predictions. I stood up, looked left and right, spotting the legion
of hooded chimeras engaging in mortal battle with the remaining
able-bodied townsfolk. Half of the town, the side
