Chapter 394: Heroine Chapter: The one I live for [1/2]
Chapter POV: Robyn Lithgow
___
A speeding motorcycle was trying desperately to get by on I-90. The way it was moving, you would think the rider was on fire or something. Despite all his efforts to run for his life. It didn't matter.
This cunt accepted the job of taking out my Possum. So, I ran after him to turn him into a soulgear.
"Exa, how fast is this cunt going?"
[Lady Robyn, your target is currently traveling at 325 kilometers per hour.]

"Whatever, I am still faster. Can I kill him now?"
[Yes, Lady Robyn, you are in a fairly unpopulated area. Since you are not showing up on any cameras, you can make your move now.]
"Finally. Time to end this so I can go home!"
I slammed my legs into the ground as I accelerated. As I gained speed, I quickly caught up to the motorcycle.
The man froze in horror when he saw me beside him. That was before I even raised my Mac-11. He probably had a million questions going through his head. Smart bastards were usually like that. But I didn't care.
"Get stuffed, ya fucking cunt!"
I squeezed the trigger on the SMG and blasted my target's motorcycle helmet. Immediately after shooting him in the face, the motorcycle wobbled and fell to the ground.
Since we were going pretty fast, the rider was thrown forward face first. There were no cars in front of him, so he crashed into the concrete. The number of people who could drive at this speed was rare anyway.
Unwilling to waste my momentum. I wound my leg up and kicked the slagger's spine like I was playing soccer. I heard a brutal crack as my foot launched the man forward.
No longer wasting time, I stopped and approached him.
"Please forgive me. I didn't know..." he kept on whinging.
Ignoring his cries, I turned him over and saw his destroyed face being reconstructed. The cunt before me was one of the Phantom reinforcements for Possum's Seeker War. The last of them.
Despite being a Phantom, this coward ran the moment he saw me approaching. Funny, though, he kept begging Bella to call me off. But she answered him with a single word.
[No.]
In the five hours before the Seeker War, the Sirens and I began to hunt everyone from the reinforcements. We were forbidden to touch those from the Savior.
But hired muscle was fair game.
"PLEASE! I MADE A MISTAKE! I WILL WORK FOR LIMITLESS! I WILL DO ANYTHING! JUST LET ME GO!"
Despite his pitiful screams, I noticed that he was hiding a dagger behind his back. Ever since Possum gave me {Limitless}, I felt myself getting smarter. I also started to see and hear better.
I didn't even need {Imaging} to know he was up to something. And like everyone else who tried, he wouldn't be able to kill me. I called my other MAC-11 from my subspace and pointed both guns at him.
"Wai..."
And pulled the trigger.
As if dancing, the rain of 9mm bullets tossed his body around from the impact. Even though I knew where his soul gem was, I had yet to shoot it. Instead, I shot the tendons along his body until they tore apart.
This cunt had a very good power.
He could make people like him.
According to Exa, it was similar to an incubus, or whatever that was. When I asked what it did, she told me that if I had it, I could make Possum love me even more.
That alone got me interested. Still, he never tried using it on me. "You must be dumb as fuck," I concluded.
Since I learned that soulgems could be turned into soulgears, I no longer killed just for the sake of killing.
Possum needed a lot of power. He was crazy after all. So as his Sheila, I would get as many of those soulgears for him as I could.
I put the Mac-11's away and pulled out my favorite knives. The Phantom, injured all over, began to tremble when he saw me closing in.
A dark shadow wiggled on his chest and slapped a pair of fat lips against it.
{Sniff, Kitten! it's me your beloved John! you love me, right? I'm hurt please help me!}
[Lady Robyn, do not be fooled. This man has used his {Fate} {Irresistible} to steal wives or girlfriends from both humans and reapers. He then kills the women and sells their bodies to Trinity.]
Not really giving a shit, I plunged the knife I held into his chest. Blood and guts spilled out as I ripped his rib cage apart. Weak from the gunshot, his bones broke with a few solid blows.
{NO!!!! STOP!!!! PLEASEEEEE!!!!}
I plunged my arm deep into his torso and ripped out his soulgem. The reaper stopped moving and became still afterwards. I then used my knife to fillet the remaining flesh of the soulgem and hid it in my subspace.
"Ugh, I'm dirty again."
The soulgem was lodged behind his lungs. When I pulled it out, a lot of blood covered my arm and spilled onto the highway.
It was so bad that cars started slowing down to see what was going on. They saw a Sheila like me covered in red. Of course they freaked out.
"Let's go back. Bella, I'm done. Open a door. {Perspective} - Minerva."
I felt her accept and opened a {Portal} in front of me, then walked through it. {Limitless} was a damn cheat. Being able to use so many {Fates} made the Sirens and me even better at killing people.
"{Perspective}." Turning off the {Kismet}, I realized I was already in Ma's house.
When I saw Ma, Pa, Alana, and Bless all sitting on one side, I froze. I was covered in blood. What would they think if they saw me like this?
Nevertheless, Ma approached me and patted me down, looking for any injuries. When she found none, she pointed to the floor and spoke.
"Sit down," Ma said coldly.
It was a weird feeling, I didn't grow up with parents, but Noelle Simmons treated me like I was important. I thought it was bullshit at first, but she was just like Possum. She really had so much love to give.
Every time she praised me or gave me a hug, I felt all tingly inside. Alana and Bless were the same way. Pa, though he hardly said anything, always patted my head with his rough hands. It didn't hurt, but it felt soothing.
Which was why I didn't want them to see me like this. Possum was one thing. But his family didn't know how broken I was. How broken any of the Sirens were.
"Ma, I..."
"Robyn. Sit down. You are not in trouble. Dipshit already told me the truth."
"Huh?" I blurted out like a drongo.
When I turned around, I saw the rest of the Siren's all fidgeting in place. Everyone was covered in blood. If someone as stupid as me was thinking of collecting soulgems, they probably did too.
I was glad I wasn't alone. If the rest of Possum's Sheilas were here, it meant I hadn't done anything wrong. They were all as stupid as me.
Taking my seat, I tried to make myself small. If this was a beating, maybe the other girls would be enough for Ma to get tired. Except for Bella, Aki and me, everyone else was fucking huge.
"Girls, listen up. I am having trouble understanding, so instead of asking the people Dipshit sent to guard us, I am going to ask all of you. If you all have any love for my family, do not lie. Nod your heads if you understand."
Wordlessly I nodded my head, and out of the corner of my eye I saw everyone else doing the same.
"Okay. Are you all reapers too? And are you all going to this Hellsgate place to kill zombies? Just yes or no."
"Yes." X7
"Is the part about you all having to die to become a reaper true?"
"Yes." X7
