Bloody And Blue

Red and blue flashed as I stared at the blood on the walls of the building, the nearby stands and even my clothes. It was a brutal massacre, you may be thinking I'm the one who killed them and guess what? You're totally right. I murdered them with my own hands, yes I slaughtered my friends with my own hands. The Blue clan is dead and I'm the one to blame.

I'll try to give a little backstory of how this came to be. Yuki had gone out as usual and I was alone so I wandered aimlessly around the streets of NYC. The same feeling of being watched was still there and I heard the same footsteps. There was one thing that caught my eye, an oni mask on the ground.

Considering it was the season for festivities and celebrations, it wasn't shocking. But what made it strange was the fact that a robbery had taken place in that area. I should've probably gone back to wandering instead of looking at an oni mask on the ground. But I couldn't, something was off. It was weird and I couldn't explain it but I knew something was off.

I felt a certain presence next to me. Before I could react, the person stabbed my abdomen. Fuck, I knew something was off. Everyone started screaming and ran away at the sight of blood. The person that stabbed me wore an oni mask that looked exactly like the one I was staring at.

"Who the heck are you?" I question, preparing to attack. "You shouldn't worry about that" the person responds, drawing their sword. The way that sword was styled looked a little familiar, it's like I'd seen it somewhere. I kicked him then he pulled me then tried to cut me but I managed to dodge.

We'll call this person oni mask because they were wearing one. "if you won't tell me who you are, at least tell me what you want" I mention and they chuckle. "I want you dead and I'm going to kill you, Charlotte Tsukumo" they respond.

"You want to kill me? Not if I kill you first" oh wait, I also need to find out who they are before I kill them. I slam my palm on the ground and pull out Esmeralda. My eyes switched from brown to a gold colour. I don't have time to create a curtain, if anyone is watching it's their own problem.

Blue cursed energy radiated off oni mask. So they're a cursed user too? This is getting more interesting by the minute. Everytime I attacked oni mask, I got a sense of adrenaline. "You look quite beautiful, all bloody and beat" I chuckle. "That's creepy" they respond. "It's creepy to stalk someone then try to kill them, don't you?" I mention.

Ice formed around my fingertips and the handle and chains of Esmeralda. This is perfect, this is so perfect. Once I'd finally got a vital spot everything was set in place. Crystals formed around their wounds and spikes from the inside of their body. Everything was so perfect.

Oni mask was paralyzed from both fear and the crystals. I took the liberty to remove their mask and I was disgusted. "Fushimi Saruhiko, a former member of the red clan and now a member of the blue clan. A traitor is what Misaka calls you, what the hell do you want?" I question bitterly.

"The blue clan was hired to kill you by Tsukumos" he mentions in a raspy voice due to his damaged vocal cords. "Blues? How disgusting" I mutter. Wait, Seiri is a blue. It's not like that matters right now.

"Everyone draw your swords" the lieutenant of the Blues stated. I could recognize that voice from anywhere. It was Seiri, "You're all a bunch of fucking traitors" I mention bitterly. "I'm sorry Charlotte but it's for the best" Reishi, the head of the blue clan states. "Fuck you" I murmur as hot tears streamed down my face.

They were my friends and now they want to kill me? What did Tsukumo do to them? No I won't blame Tsukumo, it was their choice. Well they've chosen their side and I've chosen mine. "Do your worst" I whisper with a smirk.

I held Esmeralda and stood in front  of 10,000 blue clansmen. It will be a massacre, Granny was right. We are murderers, it's how we were taught and how we came to be.

I took a slow deep breath and felt the mask of my cursed energy drop. I could finally have a little fun. I ran through the clansmen, swinging Esmeralda from left to right. I was getting so much adrenaline, not from the energy but from the blood and fear that radiated off them.

Their internal organs splattered everywhere, one after another. It was brutal but it was perfect, despite the pain in my body, everything felt perfect. This must be the final point of humanity, the point right before insanity.

There was blood splattered everywhere yet Reishi, Seiri and Fushimi were still alive. "You're quite strong for a bunch of traitors" I mentioned. I walked toward Seiri who was bloody and had tears streaming down her face. "It was nice seeing you before this. Before you got to see the person behind the mask" I whisper into her ear.

She tried to break from me but my grasp was quite strong. Reishi and Fushimi were about to attack but their feet were frozen to the ground. "Stop fighting or else, I'll actually kill you" I whisper and she froze. She stopped but she continued to cry. "You were a good friend, Izumo will probably kill me for this but I don't have a choice" I mentioned.

"Please don't" she begged. "Why not? You betrayed me first and it didn't end up in your favour. Now you want me not to kill you?" I state and she went silent. I hugged her and her eyes widened when Esmeralda sliced her back wide open. She fell to the ground as she slowly bled out.

"Now it's time for you two. I'm going to be nice because we used to be friends" I mentioned as I held the bloody blade of Esmeralda. I shut my eyes and sliced their heads off. Their corpses were released and fell to the ground.

I walked over to Seiri's corpse and closed her eyes. "You didn't deserve to die but you did betray me" I mutter. Sirens could be heard in a near distance and flashing red and blue lights were easily seen.

"Drop your weapons" the guards commanded. I didn't respond, I gave a psychotic smile and snapped my fingers. The building crystalized for a second then exploded. Blood and internal organs from the civilians and corpses in the mall splattered everywhere.

Many people found it disgusting but to me it was perfect. I loved the scent of fresh blood and rotting flesh. "You're twisted" the cops stated as they approached me with caution and took me away. I didn't even fight back, I was too lazy to. But it was all apart of my plan, next up Tsukumo.

An oni mask are those japanese masks that look like the faces of devils/demons. They usually have horns and teeth sticking out from them. Also random question, do Wattpad chapters have a word limit? 🤔
