Reaper's Word
Chapter 29: Death by Example
Clair was curious as to where he was going. His mood had just suddenly shifted, and she followed along, there was a rigid set to his shoulders and the air around him was rather angry. As they moved she could start to hear something crashing, and the breaking of glass. There was snarling and shouting.
"How stupid." She said, Didn't they know that the key to surviving was being calm, laying low?
"Very." Isaiah said. He was surprised that she was following him. Normally she made a quick escape.
"Following me?"
"I'm curious." She said."Though it killed the cat." She mumbled under her breath. He'd heard that expression before. Oddly enough I wasn't going to kill her. Slowly he was starting to view her like the hell hounds. Need he explain why that was probably happening?
However she had a set time after which he would have to rid himself of her. Clair was smart, and knew how to hide. That made her dangerous in the possibility of finding an escape. He couldn’t allow that.
Clair was glancing in the rooms they passed. The smell of smoke came to her, and a lot of the rooms were smashed and destroyed. It would seem someone was having a mental break.
"Oh my god." She said. It looked like someone had taken a sledgehammer to the rooms they were passing. One had different art works in it and they were completely destroyed. She saw one of hers on the floor that she left for the house.
"Will they mend?" She asked.
"Everything mends." He answered darkly. "There is a difference however in the reasoning for things to be destroyed and fixed. This is deliberate unneeded destruction." Clair could feel the coldness starting to seep into her. The house felt cold and angry. The closer they got to the noise the colder it got. To the point that she could see her breath.
Clair stood in the doorway of the piano room where a man really was using a sledge hammer to destroy the windows in the room. She felt several people running from the area terrified. She saw that Zeta was laying dead on the floor. Alpha not far from her also not breathing. Beta was pacing watching the man looking for a moment to attack. This man had lost it, completely lost it. It looked like he'd taken out two hell hounds. He was a bear of a man, and he was wounded too.
The room was destroyed just like the others. All the pianos and instruments in here in pieces. The windows and furniture were in hundreds of shards. Isaiah held out a hand almost casually and the sledgehammer flew into it. Clair didn't even have a second to turn or call out a warning Isaiah moved that fast. To be honest she didn't feel the need to. This place was changing her, and the man had signed his death certificate with his actions today.
Isaiah swung once. Not at full strength but enough to shatter the man's leg and knee as he hit the side of it. He then tossed the sledge hammer like it was a useless tool. The man fell to the floor screaming in pain, he sounded out of his mind. Clair wondered how many had broken like this man had. She was also unsure if she should be here now and backed up.
