~Chapter Fourteen~

Miki's heart quickened as the creak pounded in his ears.

Enzo looked at him and got up. "What the heck?"

He padded forward.

Miki peeked from the side of the bleachers, looking out into the arena splattered with blood.

He froze as he saw men dressed in full black armor, guns in hand.

Enzo was lying beside a man, his eyes lifeless and blurry.

"No!" Miki screamed, blowing his cover.

All men fired their guns, aimless at where they were pointing.

Miki crouched, covering his head.

Bullets plummeted the metal, denting in every way.

The men didn't speak, they just shot. A couple shot each other, some men falling to the ground.

The ground was scarlet, only some spots showing the earth floor.

Miki gasped, feeling blood trickle down his thigh.

A few seconds after, the sharp pain in his thigh faded.

*What's the matter with me? Ever since I haven't been using my wolf form and trying to get out of here, I've been bleeding so much. How much blood have I lost?*

Miki winced as he took a small step towards the other side.

He pushed away the pain, and hauled himself to the other side of the bleachers.

As quiet as possible, he crawled towards the entrance, his heart quickening in eagerness as he got closer.

The arena was a battlefield, there was men shooting each other, but no grunts or shouts of pain where released from them, they just fell limply to the ground.

They seemed lifeless even before they fell to the ground, seemingly following something and not protesting what it was.

Miki stopped in wonder as a bullet flew through the air, striking a form, it's corpse falling to the ground.

He shook his head, pushing away his hurricane of thoughts, and crawled closer.

Miki looked out again for any signs of danger and saw just one form in white, doing nothing but watching the chaos.

It's coat was splattered with red, but it wasn't coming from the figure.

Through the mask the figure was wearing, Miki could see it's eyes flickering all around, watching the army fall.

Miki looked down and crawled closer, eventually reaching the gate.

*Im free.* Miki thought with relief.

"Hello, Miki." Miki spun around at the call of his name, seeing the white coated figure approach him.

It stopped, smiling at him while it stood beside two familiar corpses.

*No.* Miki thought as he recognized them as Oaka and Daigo.

"Yes, you're plan didn't work." The form took of the mask, and Miki's heart completely stopped as it was the face of his mother's.
