Madness: VENGEANCE
[3 months later]
Bora reached his bedroom with his wife, Amanda, both of them were smiling to each other and started to kiss, the kids were out playing together, leaving the father and mother some time alone.
Amanda: So, dear, what do you want to do? I'll let you decide this time.
Bora: Hohohoho! We will have a lot of fun.
Amanda: Hehe, turn around, I have a surprise for you.
Bora excitedly turned around, and heard two things that fell in the ground, some seconds later, the smell of blood reached his nose and turned around… The thing that greeted him was the headless corpse of his wife, and a cloaked midget with eerie eyes and holding a sword.
Bora's trembling eyes turned red from rage and reached for the midget, but the midged backed away and swung its sword to Bora, he just grabbed the blade, not caring about the wound on his hand that he received, and punched the midget, sending her fly against a wardrobe.
?: Ugh…
Bora: YOU BASTARD!!
?: Tch… You won't live, enemy of the Empire!
The midget kicked the ground and reached Bora, it crouched down, avoiding his grasp, and slashed upwards, cutting Bora's chest, leaving a big cut on his chest, it surprised him that the sword on the midget's hands was that sharp.
However, he just sent a kick on it's chest, making it spit saliva and flung it against a wall. The midget let out a feminine grunt as it slammed on the wall. While it tried to get up, Bora rushed at her, however, the injury that he received 3 months ago decided to reveal itself, blocking his movements for a moment.
In that moment, the midget got up and thrusted its sword on his chest, while it did that, the hood on its head fell down, revealing a young female child with raven hair…
Bora: 'Everything was done from a bloody child?! How forward wants to go the Empire before it is satisfied?!'
The child thrusted her blade on Bora's heart, piercing it. He spit blood as he backed away, and slowly laid on a wall.
Bora: Fuck… You devil…
Child: No, you are the evil one… You want to disrupt the Empire's peace, I won't let you do that, Bora the Heavy Swordmaster. You retreated from the Revolutionary Army and lived in this village, but the Empire knew that it was better eliminating you than leaving you alive.
Bora: P-Peace…? You shitty child… That place is far from peaceful…
Child: Your words will not work on me, now it is the turn of everyone else, there can't be survivors.
Bora's eyes widened as the blood was coming out at an alarming rate.
Bora: Y-You fucking devil! I dare you to touch my children, and the moment you die I will personally come for your soul!
Child: Like I said before, your words won't work on me.
Bora: ...Please… Leave my children alive…
The girl just looked down at Bora, whose eyes were slowly getting empty, and left the room, the moment she was out from the room, she kneeled down and puked, that kick certainly broke her ribcage, she was just trying to act strong…
Some minutes later, she got up and walked away with trembling steps.
[Meanwhile]
Sarah was running away with Ezekiel, holding each other's hands.
Ezekiel: Sister! What is happening?!
Sarah: We need to leave this village before the others come here!
Ezekiel: Why?! What about Dad and Mom?!
Sarah: I don't know, but these people are dangerous!
Some imperial guards found them and shouted.
Guards: There are survivors!
Ezekiel just blinked once, and every building caught fire, the fire caused enough smoke to cover the sky with dark clouds, he was crying about the feeling of getting away from his parents.
Sarah turned around and saw the imperial guards rushing towards them, but they seemed more distracted for her than Ezekiel.
Sarah: Brother, close your eyes and run as far as you can, ok?
Ezekiel: Eh? *Pant* Why?
Sarah: It's a special method to beat these people, just do as I said, ok?
Ezekiel: Alright!
Ezekiel closed his eyes and runned as fast as he could forward, not noticing Sarah stopping and glaring back at the guards that were too concentrated on her looks.
Guards: Wow! I didn't expected her to be so beautiful! / Hey, what do we do about the child? / Leave him be, there are too many beasts outside, and those children trained from the empire should be going at him now. / Hey! I think she was the daughter of the chief, let's take her to him and have fun there!
Sarah: You disgusting pigs! Father will break your spines in a moment!
Guards: Hahahaha! You didn't know? He's already dead! / Hahahahahaha!
Sarah stopped struggling and said shocked.
Sarah: ...What…?
The guards then dragged her back to the chief's house, ignoring Ezekiel. Ezekiel was running as fast as he could with a smile on his face and closed eyes, thinking that doing this could make him beat the guards…
Father is strong, he will be alright…
Mother has dad at her side, she will be alright…
Sister is beside him, and they didn't caught them yet…
Ezekiel: Hey sister! Did we beat them now?
?: …
Ezekiel: Sister…?
Ezekiel slightly opened his eyes, finding himself out from the village, but his sister wasn't beside him…
There was no one beside him… No one near him… He couldn't see anyone… Because there was no one…
Ezekiel: S-Sister! Where are you?!
Ezekiel turned around, but he didn't found anyone, however, when he turned around for the 3rd time, in front of him, some meters away, there was a cloaked figure, Ezekiel could see some black bangs coming out from the hood, and a pair of glowing scary eyes.
Child: So there was a survivor…
Ezekiel: W-Who are you? A-Are you here to save my home?
Child: No, I am here to kill you.
Ezekiel fell on his butt and crawled back, away from the child, he didn't understand what she meant with "Kill", but she was really scary.
Ezekiel: S-Sis… P-Please don't attack me… The ones that are destroying everything are those soldiers… D-Don't hurt me…
The red eyed child, with trembling steps, was walking towards Ezekiel, then she unsheathed her sword, Ezekiel turned around and tried to run away, but suddenly, he felt pain in his chest as blood came out, he looked down and saw a sword piercing his chest.
He let out tears of pain as he yelled.
Ezekiel: It hurts!! S-Stop! P-P-Please! L-Let me go! D-Dad will hit you! If… If you don't let me go, Dad will hit you! ...He… He is… the strongest…*Sob*...Man… He is the… Strongest... Wuuuu-uh-uuuh…
Child: I already killed him…
Ezekiel: ...W-What?
Child: He isn't here anymore, he doesn't exist anymore.
Ezekiel: ...No… NO!! Dad is the strongest! He will come here to save me!
Ezekiel tried to go away, but the sword implanted on the ground with him kept him there, everything he took a breath, the pain increased, and so did the blood on the ground, soon, he lost strength to even kneel down and fell down, with his face kissing the bloodied ground.
His voice was getting smaller, and finally silence stood there… The child then took out her sword and left the corpse of the kid with trembling steps and a trembling heart…

Billy: ...I won't let that go so easily… You little shit… I will find you, one day… Whoever you are…
Billy turned around and walked away, with static interferences in his mind, following him wherever he walked to.
First destination, the nearest human settlement.
