58 The First Kill (2/2)

No one stopped her, there weren't other instructors around the room but they didn't make any moves. She was barely able to move, I remember that she had attacked me.

She'd tried to smash my eyeballs, but I'd punched her in the jaw. Sending her away from me, but she didn't relent, it was her own fault... I had no choice.

Soon afterward I'd broken her legs, she'd punched me in the nose and that's when I stopped. It knocked me out of the violent induced trance.

”019... continue,” his voice fell onto my ears and my body moved.

I walked towards her.

No!

I shouted at my body, but it didn't listen.

Soon I was over top of her, I grabbed her by the hair.

”Stop!” She screams as I jerk her up by her hair.

I grab her head and wrap a hand around her neck, placing another around the upper part of her head. She struggled, her hands clawed and grabbed at my hands, I felt her tear into my skin.

Still, I didn't stop, I couldn't stop.

I tightened my grip on her head, her hands continued to struggle.

Soon, the sound of gasping started.

”P-plea...se,” I felt tears stream out of her eyes as her hands fell from around my arms. My blood and flesh between her nails and on her hands.

I felt my grip loosen a bit.

”019 don't stop!” That cruel voice sounded again and I continued.

I felt my breathing quicken and I felt the life drain from her body. Her legs stopped twitching and then she turned into dead weight, I held on for I don't know how long.

”Stop 019,” this time the voice was softer a pleasant note in the normally pissed off and cruel voice.

My arms dropped to my side away from her neck, her body fell to the ground with a thud.

Clap.

Clap...

Clap.

The crisp sound of clapping entered into the air and I turned around to find him clapping along with the other instructors.

”019,” internally I felt like screaming... I had killed her... in cold blood,” good job,” he walked towards me and raised a hand rubbing my head.

I turned my head up to look at him and his outstretched hand. A warm feeling boiled up in my gut... I'd done a good job!

A feeling of joy washed over my body at his words, I didn't even cast another thought at the girl that was lying dead on the floor not even ten feet away from me.

Just what had I been...
