Snippet #1662339

Subject 12 took a few moments to glance inside the cell of whatever it was, it looked human -- mutant -- no oddities as far as he could see (but being wrapped up in that cloak concealed most of his body). The one thing which was seen clearly as they cut through the darkness, was it's eyes. Bright red in colour which were identical to the orbs of Subject 19. Though Subject 12 was unable to see it, he could clearly smell blood, most likely coming from the creature inside of that cell. Through narrowed eyes, Subject 12 stared at the being's every movement as well as trying to get a better look at him, but obviously the creature didn't want anyone to see him as he concealed himself in a cloak and shrouded himself in the darkness. Those eyes... perhaps even more terrifying and harsh than those of Subject 19. "Don't worry" 19 finally said in a normal tone, as if the creature lurking in the darkness didn't bother him in the slightest. Don't worry? Subject 12 thought sarcastically, rolling his eyes in response. "He won't do you anything as long as I am here." 19 continued as he took a few steps towards Subject 12. Oh well that's reassuring... 12 thought once again in a sarcastic tone, however he couldn't quite speak out how he really felt. Then a low growl emitted from behind the bars of the cell. Subject 12 almost flinched, not expecting it at all, however he swallowed the breath caught in his throat and joined Subject 19 looking towards the cage.

Then it moved...

It had got up and walked straight to the front of the cage, both of his hands wrapping around the bars as his face could now fully be seen. As expected, it had the remains of blood smeared upon it (probably not his own blood either), his pale skin only made the dried crimson paint stand out more. Maybe it was just the lightning, but his hair was the most darkest black Subject 12 had ever seen, even darker than the black (which had replaced the whites) of his own eyes. And once again, the thing which stood out the most... was those eyes... Burning red orbs which were intense with both hate and insanity. It took every ounce of Subject 12's courage -- and pride -- not to take a step back or perhaps even run straight back out of that room. Even he himself could not quite understand why the creature behind the bars frightened him so much, perhaps it was just those crimson orbs which stared back. "The person you are about to meet will make you stronger." Subject 19 told 12, though it did anything but reassure him.

Continuing to stare at the thing behind bars, it sat down once again in the shadows. Strangely (or perhaps not) that was the only thing which made 12 relax slightly. "It is a crazy killer but he would never go against my orders because he knows what would happen then... Don't you?" Watching the creature, it crawled back further, perhaps showing that it was scared. Subject 12 held no fear for 19 himself, however the creature behind bars was a different story (not that he could reason why). The term 'Crazy Killer' did far from help such fear. "I will not be happy if you try to kill this person named Subject 12." The bow which the thing did, at least made Subject 12 smile in reassurance as he now doubted that the creature would try to kill him. He seemed to serve Subject 19 and perhaps fear him, which was good... it meant he wouldn't go against orders... right?

Subject 19 wandered back to 12, who had not walked to the front of the cell as the other did, instead he stayed in the middle of the room, unmoving."The person that you see in this prison is my brother..." Subject 19 whispered in 12's ear, causing his eyes to widen. Subject 19 had a brother...? That could be anything but good. One Subject 19 was difficult enough to handle, if you weren't on his side anyway. "He is not as strong as me but he is still stronger then every mutant you know together..." Perhaps it was in understanding, or just randomly, but Subject 12 nodded, never taking his eyes off of the cell itself. Subject 19 then began to walk away and finally registering that he was being left alone, Subject 12 span around to face the direction 19 was walking in. "But like I said he wouldn't try to kill you so there is no need to be afraid." With his final words, he left the room, leaving Subject 12 alone -- well not quite, there was always Subject 19's brother.

The last thing Subject 12 really wanted to do was show fear so he swallowed his fear, puffed out his chest and strode calmly to the front of the cage, leaning forward and peering into the darkness. What am I supposed to say to that thing...? Subject 12 thought to himself, "Hey, i'm Subject 12," 12 called out, perhaps introducing himself to ensure that the thing knew exactly who he was (and not to kill him). "What do I call you? Subject 19.5?" 12 questioned, remembering that there was once a mutant called Subject 18 (who wasn't him) as well as Subjects 20 and 21 he knew -- or sort of knew. Finally Subject 12 took a step back and frowned to himself, putting both of his hands on his hips. "So..." he mumbled to himself, having to take a moment and think of what to say, "You're supposed to help me get stronger huh? I must warn you, i'm very strong already! I'm Death." Arrogance soon took Subject 12 over as he found the perfect chance to boast, finishing his sentence with a cocky smile. "But if you want to teach me, then let's begin huh?" Subject 12's voice had returned to normal, the cockiness leaving it.
