61 A Mutant Servan (1/2)

The mutant woman staggered backwards while holding her head screaming in a double toned voice, a woman's voice and a voice that was not of a human.

'Mark' started his narration about what he was doing. Anyone would think that he was crazy talking alone but he was actually talking to the camera that hung on his collar.

”You always use your ability to sense and absorb emotions but you never tried to release the negative energies you absorbed. No wonder you get exhausted every time. Taking in all those negative energies and storing those without using a single bit. That is why you always possess an aura that makes people stay away!”

He tilted his head.

”Uhhhh. That's not an issue isn't it, you loner. Hah, Nevermind. Anyways you can also release it like this. Watch!”

BAM! The mutant woman fell on her knees while holding her head screaming. She was feeling a piercing pain in her head as if her skull was being drilled into.

”Ooops, I overdid it…”

'Mark' approached the kneeling mutant without fear and grabbed her forehead.

”It's quite hard to pinpoint which consciousness to target if used in a distance isn't it?”

Then, the pressure entered the woman's head but she did not scream anymore, instead, the dim eye of the woman brightened.

”Can you speak now? I'm suppressing whatever this thing eating your consciousness. You heard what I said before right?”

The mutant woman looked at 'Mark' and looked down once more. She had a sad expression on what remained of her human face.

”Please, just kill me…”

”Why?”

”I'm not even human anymore. I don't know if I can go on like this. In the first place… I can't accept it! I killed my family with my own hands!”

Tears of blood came out of her eyes. Her heart must have been crushed.

When the zombies started to appear, in order to protect her twin daughter and son, her ankle was bitten. With the help her husband, she managed to escape and they entered this parking area along with her family and other survivors.

She was wary that she will turn as she was bitten. To her surprise, more than five minutes passed and she was still fine.

But…

Three hours after she was bitten, she started to lose control of her body and a bone like growth started to cover her body starting from the spot where the bite was.

After finally losing control, the first people she attacked with her claws were her family. She was conscious and saw everything but she could not do anything to stop it. She stabbed her husband who protected her children. Her claws pierced through the back of her husband and towards her children he was protecting splattering the blood of her precious family.

She then started to lose her control even more as she started to attack everyone. Slashes, stabs, her consciousness watched as her mutated body played with the lives of the people she killed.

”Hoh? Is that so? It's a pity then. The children are still alive and their mother wanted to die already. Just how are they gonna live in this f*cked up world without a single parent?”

She looked up at 'Mark' confused until she realized what he meant by what he said. She tried to stand up in shock.

”Hey! Hey! Wait! Don't move or you'll lose control again if I let go of you!”

The woman was still agitated but she paid heed to what Mark said.

”Are you saying the truth! M-My children are still alive?!”

”What? Don't believe me? Though I don't know how, they are safe and sound, though both of them are unconscious.”

'Mark' looked at a certain direction at towards the east wing area.

”So? You still want to die?”

”No! But!”

The woman who was kneeling on the floor used her human arm to touch the unsightly armor covering most of her body.

”Say…”

'Mark' spoke making the woman look at him.

”Have you've been a good parent?”

”I did! I love my children! I can trade my life for them!”

'Mark' nodded confidently.

”Then, what's your answer to my proposition? I suppose that I can save you and you can take care of your children. But you have to become his loyal servant!”

'Mark' smiled.

”Do you agree?”

The woman became excited and as she knew that even her husband sadly did not make it, she could at least atone for her sins as she take care and protect her children in this chaotic world. Even if she had to sell herself to a demon, she would still accept it.

”I do!”

”Alright!”

'Mark' shouted while he discharged a huge mental energy drilling into the wild consciousness that tried to consume the woman.

”Tsk. It's like a wild horse dammit!”
