NOVEL NEXT Chapter 3: Camera Recording.
Jack reached his home and saw that half of the building was gone, while police cars surrounded the building.
He looked at the scene with a pale face while he thought that it was just a nightmare...
Yes... Only a nightmare.
He started making his way over towards the house with shaky steps, most of the Police Officers surrounded the building, while curious neighbors looked from the windows or from their doors.
Jack ignored the police officers and started running towards the building.
''Halt, no civilians here!'' But he was stopped by a police officer.
''This is my house!'' Jack roared with anger which made everyone around them flinch.
Jack pushed the police officer to the side and rushed towards the house.
No one blocked his way anymore.
Jack ran inside the house and looked around him. ''S-Sophia... I am home... Where are you?'' He kept muttering words while walking with dead-looking eyes.
''Sophia? I am home...'' He muttered and he finally reached the kitchen.
The Kitchen walls were dyed in red, with multiple body parts splattered on the ground.
Jack's eyes started moistening, he fell down on the ground on his knees while looking at the arm in front of him, no one knew who does it belong to.
But Jack does...
He sees a silver-colored ring in one of the fingers.
''Sophia...'' Finally tears started falling from Jack's eyes.
He grabbed the arm and hugged it tightly.
''NOOOOOOOOOOO!'' He roared while his tears started falling like a waterfall.
The arm was the only thing that was left...
The rest of Sophia's body was exploded in pieces.
''WHO?! WHO DID THIIIIS!'' Jack roared while his anger kept rising and rising.
[Anger Meter: 78%]
''SOPHIA! PLEASE COME BACK!''
''I AM NOTHING WITHOUT YOU, PLEASE!!!'' Jack fell down on the ground while holding the cold arm.
''ARGHHHHHHHH!'' Jack roared while looking at the broken ceiling above him.
[Anger Meter: 89%]
The Police Officer didn't dare to enter the building, they could feel the rage in his voice, and they didn't dare to interrupt him.
''Is everything done here?'' High-Ranking Police Officer asked.
''Yes, sir.'' Police Officer next to him answered.
''What a mess...'' High-Ranking Police Officer scratched his head. ''Let's go back to the station, there is nothing left here.''
''Shouldn't we get fingerprints, sir?'' Police Officer next to him asked.
''No need, I heard the report and it only showed that her husband was E-Rank ability user, we don't have resources to waste on him, it would be different if the husband died and the wife asked for help, and since she was B-Rank she could be useful, but this E-Rank clown? It's worthless.'' He said and entered the car.
The Police Officer's around him nodded and also entered their cars, and left shortly afterward.
''GRAHHHH!'' Another loud scream was heard inside the house.
Jack was hitting the floor with his nonexistent strength, his fist was already bleeding, but he didn't stop.
*Bam*
*Bam*
*Bam*
''GRRRRRRR!'' He gritted his teeth and stood up with his shaky legs while still holding the cold arm.
''I need to see it! I NEED TO SEE IT!'' He roared and started walking through the house with empty-looking eyes.
He walked to the cabinet and took a laptop with his left arm, while he was still holding the cold arm on his right arm.
''I need to see it!'' He yelled and opened the laptop.
He started going through files until he finally saw the camera recordings for this day.
The police officers didn't notice, but the house was filled with hidden camera's.
Sophia and Jack did it so that they can enjoy the videos once they are older, and they can reminisce about their old days.
He clicked the file and the video started from the morning.
He quickly skipped most of the video.
Until he finally stopped at the moment he left for work.
His face looked pained. ''I shouldn't have left! I SHOULDN'T HAVE LEFT HER ALONE!''
*BAM*
Jack punched the table in front of him.
His face was filled with tear stains, while more tears started threatening to come out.
He started skipping the video more... Until he finally saw what happened.
---The Scene---
Sophia was currently staying in the Kitchen while chopping the potatoes in front of her, she was humming with a gentle tone.
*Crack*
*Crash*
Sophia flinched after hearing a window breaking.
Her heart started racing, she stopped chopping the potatoes; instead, she put the knife down and started sneaking towards the noise.
She peeked slightly and saw a figure groaning in pain on the floor.
''Fucking Heroes!'' He grimaced.
Sophia paled, she started backing off... but then she hit a chair behind her.
*Skkrrr*
The Villain looked towards the noise and saw a pregnant-looking woman standing with a pale face.
*SWISH*
He could hear a voice outside the house... and he knew that they have arrived.
''Fuck it!'' The Villain cursed and rushed towards Sophia.
''No! Stay away!'' Sophia screamed and sound waves started coming out of her hands, which approached the Villain's figure quickly.
The Villain looked surprised for a moment, but then he turned into smoke, and easily dodged the sound waves.
He appeared behind Sophia and grabbed her neck.
''Don't you fucking move, and nothing will happen to you.'' The Villain said with a threatening tone while looking warily around him.
Sophia with a pale face nodded. 'Jack... Help me...' Tears started threatening to come out of her eyes.
*BOOM*
Sophia looked with a pale face as half of the building was destroyed.
And from there she saw two figures appearing with heroic-looking costumes.
'Heroes?! I am saved!' Sophia felt hope rising from her.
''Don't you fucking move, or this bitch will die!'' The Villain roared.
One of the figures had short black hair with a mature-looking face, he was wearing a blue and red outfit with a picture of the star on his chest. He was a 6-Star Hero - Star Warrior.
Next to him was standing a slightly fatter man, standing around 180cm with a green-colored outfit. He is 5-Star Hero Green Dream.
''Well, what should we do now?'' Green Dream asked.
Star Warrior scoffed. ''I need this money, so I don't bother doing anything bothersome.''
Green Dream grinned viciously.
Star Warrior put his hand forward which started changing colors rapidly.
''What the fuck are you doing?! I will kill this bitch!'' The Villain roared and grabbed even harder.
Sophia couldn't breathe anymore, her face was already turning purple.
''Don't care.'' Star Warrior said and a beam of pure star energy left his hand.
Sophia widened her eyes seeing the energy approaching her.
Her eyes started moistening while one last thought was in her mind. 'Jack... I am sorry...'
''WHA!'' The Villain widened his eyes, but the Star Energy touched both Sophia and The Villain which made both of their bodies explode into pieces.
The walls were instantly dyed in red.
''Nasty!'' Green Dream said with a slight chuckle.
''How much we earned?'' Star Warrior asked.
''254.000$'' Green Dream said.
''Could be better, but at least it will last few months.''
''But why did you kill her, you could have saved her right?'' Green Dream asked.
''I could have, but way too bothersome, I don't get paid enough for this shit.'' Star Warrior snorted and said.
''But we could have at least had some fun with her before you killed her, what a waste of pretty face.'' Green Dream shook his head out of disappointment.
''Nah, she was pregnant, it puts me slightly off.''
''But it didn't last time?'' Green Dream laughed.
''She was only 2 months pregnant? This bitch was obviously 8 months, her belly was fat as fuck!'' Star Warrior laughed and left the house with Green Dream.
---Scene End---
''ARGH!'' Jack roared and punched at the screen which cracked instantly.
''MOTHER FUCKERS!'' Jack started punching at the laptop which destroyed it completely.
''Heroes?! HAHAHAHA, a bunch of hypocrites!'' Jack laughed, while his face was morphed into madness.
''WHY DID YOU HAVE TO KILL HER, SHE NEVER HURT ANYONE!'' Jack grabbed the table and threw it to the nearby wall.
''I WON'T LET THIS GO, I WILL KILL YOU!'' Jack screamed, he took a camera from the shelf which had the recording of the scene.
He quickly edited the video and now it only showed the real scene.
''I WILL FUCKING END YOU!'' Jack roared.
He walked towards the refrigerator and put Sophia's arm on it.
He gently touched the hand.
He gently closed the refrigerator and took the camera from the nearby table.
''I will fucking end you! I will kill everyone you love! I will kill everyone you know! I will make you wish you are dead!'' Jack's eyes were bloodshot while remembering the two figures who murdered his wife.
He exited the building and started walking through the streets.
His previous gentle look from this morning was long gone.
His eyes were empty... Like endless void.
His lips were stained with his blood.
And his previous smooth-looking skin was...
Stained with tear stains.
''I will fucking end you!'' Jack roared and started making his way over to the nearby News Station.
