Demon Soldier

"Hakim! Get your butt over here!" A boy yelled, tossing the table that was in front of him towards the wall. Smashing into it, it made a loud noise as it fell and hit the floor, barely missing the student that was covering in fear in the corner, his body shaking non-stop as he did the best he could to look away. "I'll fucking kill you if you don't come out now!"

The boy, who went by the name Hakim, had other ideas, knowing full well what would happen if he reveals himself. Using his ability, he had made himself invisible, hoping that it would be enough to keep himself safe from Blake.

"Too bad for you, my sense of smell will let me sniff you out in no time! I was giving you the opportunity to come out on your own, but now, you have left me with no other choice," he said, as his nose had suddenly transformed into the snout of a bloodhound. "If I find you this way, then what I planned on doing to you will be far worse!"

Realizing that he no longer had much time to hide, his mind went into a state of panic, thinking of a way to escape. It was then that his eyes had fallen upon the table Blake had tossed aside. Since he now stood tight next to it, it was the perfect object for him to use as a distraction.

Quickly, he picked it up and tossed it forward, hurling it towards the person standing not too far from him. Seeing the table coming towards him, Blake stretched his hand forward, and rather than dodging the flying object, his hand began to change.

As furr coated his skin, his nails and fingersbegan to elongate, and as the table was mere inches from his face, he swiped his hand upwards, his razor-sharp class going through the wood and metal, slashing the table in half.

As both halves of the table hit the floor, they made a loud noise that caused the student cowering in fear to shriek loudly. Realizing what he had just done, he placed both of his hands on his mouth, his eyes wide open as his heart rate had reached an all time high.

Sweat ran down his entire body as he began to feel his surroundings dull down and loose colour. He felt like he was loosing touch with reality, as the realization dawned on him that he had just made his presence known.

"I see that one of you is being more co-operative," Blake said, allowing his hand to fall back to his side. "Now, your punishment," as though he had disappeared and reappeared right in front of where the boy was, he swung down his claws, and what followed were the sounds of screams.

"Please stop! I beg you! I'm in so much pain!" The boy pleased, as his body had suddenly reappeared, making what Blake was doing a whole lot easier as a result. "I'm sorry! I really am! I will never disobey your orders ever again!" He continued to yell, but still, Blake showed no signs of stopping.

"You will learn to follow my orders even if it means I have to kill you!" Blake yelled, transforming his other arm as well, now swinging down both his arms at the boy. "Do you hear me?!"

Seeing the horrible sight unfolding before him, Hakim wasn't sure what action to take next. On one hand, there was his friend, his one and only friend in this world, that was being severely manhandled by a madman, but on the other, there was finally a chance for him to find a way to escape out of his current situation unscathed.

'The door! Now that he's distracted and not standing over there, if I run with all my speed, I should be able to make it out and get the heck outta here!' he screamed internally, yet fear was still keeping his legs still.

'I have to run! I need to run! If I'm going to have any chance of surviving, then I need to start acting now!' gathering his resolve, his right leg took a small step forward, then, almost as though he was possessed, his legs began to move rapidly, one in front of the other as be sprinted towards the door on the other side of the room.

Turning his head, Blake was able to pick up on the sound of loud footsteps and quickly reacted, rushing towards the door. However, he was a bit too late at this point, as Hakim had already pushed the door open, and made a run for it through the hallway.

"Shit! That bastard got away!" Blake cursed,clenching his fist and slamming it against the wall. Pulling his fist out of the home he had created in the wall, his gaze shifted back to the other boy who was still in the classroom.

He was still curled into a tight ball, however, now there were multiple deep cuts all over his body, and as the blood seeped out of the openings, they had created a pool that surrounded the part of his body touching the floor. It wouldn't be long till he lost consciousness at this rate.

"Still, I have you with me. I should be able to manage with just one of you," he said, walking back into the room. "Besides, with how weak that punk is, I don't think he'll be able to survive give minutes out there without me. The fucker will either come crawling back to me minutes later, or his body parts would be scattered all over the city by then.

"Whatever happens to him ain't my problem now. He's made his choice and chose a false sense of freedom. Let's just hope that he doesn't somehow pull through all of this and one day comes back to take revenge. I'd be screwed if that happens."

Once he had made it out of the room, Hakim hadn't stopped running till he had made it to a set of stairs that led to the floor below. From here, he could hear the sound of growling coming from outside. The fear in him began to intensity as he began to imagine just what he would encounter once he made it to the outside world.

'Wait, I can't just go out there unarmed! I need to have some weapons on me so I can protect myself!' Hakim suddenly realized, remembering just how vulnerable he was against Blake back there. Although he had his ability that granted him the power of invisibility, it wasn't really something that would help him out much where he was planning on going.

'Maybe if I head towards the kitchen, I'll be able to pick up some weapons I can use. Perhaps a knife or two would do for now. I doubt they would have something else as usual as that that I could tale along with me,' he thought, already heading towards the kitchen.

The kitchen was located on the second floor, and since he was on the third floor, he would have to take the stairs to make it there. On his way to the kitchen, peeking out through the windows, he was able to have a good enough look as to what the situation was outside.

There were at least three different kinds of creatures he could see through the glass window. Knocking down buildings and pretty much anything that got in its way, was a blue-skinned creature with mouths for eyes, no nose, and a larger mouth on the midpoint of the body separating its upper and lower body parts.

Both mouths on the upper part of his body would open wide, producing loud noises that would cause the ground to shake, the same was for the central mouth as well. Then, there were its ears, which were curved and shaped like dragon wings. It also had six hands in total instead of two, each of which had four sets of fingers with razor-sharp claws at their ends.

Standing on two legs, the creature was as tall as a two-storey building, and all across its body, a greenish, slimy substance could be seen oozing off its skin. As the substance would touch the ground, it would proceed to melt whatever was in its path.

'Ugh! That thing looks disgusting! Man, I hope I don't get nightmares from that,' Hakim thought, his body shaking from the thought of having to face such a creature once he was finally outside. 'No, I can't afford to be scared! Whether I want to or not, I'll have to face that thing or either find a way to escape it if I want to have any chance of survival!'

Not wanting to spend much time staring outside, Hakim urged himself to rush towards the kitchen as soon as possible to get whatever weapon he would need to assist him in the outside world.
