*BANG BANG BANG*

I Shot out of bed. “WHAT THE HELL?”

*BANG BANG BANG* “SISTER PLEASE WAKE UP HELP!”

What in th- I shot out of my bunk bed and headed to the door. Several of the other sisters were already awake and wondering what the commotion was.

“HELP PLEASE. The monster is nearly here!”

I pulled the door open to get immediately tackled.

“Sister Friede!” The boy yelled. As he let out a tearful cry.

“It's okay, I'm here. What's going on? Where is Clarissa?”

The boy just shook his head and cried even more. Just what the hell-

*KABOOM*

What semblence of peace and sanity was shattered as something large flew into the room. The room was filled with the sounds of Panic and screams as my fellow sisters tried to figure out what was going on and look after the injured. Lord Eupharn, please help us.

“Friede!” A voice yelled. I snapped my head to see one of the other nuns calling me. “I need help.”

I nodded and shot right up. I need to focus here and-

I stopped dead in my tracks. A cold tingle went up and down my spine, And my heart began to race. Lord Eupharn, what is this?

“Here you are” A cold, shrill voice let out, causing all the chaos to pause for a moment. I looked at the other nuns. Some let out quiet prayers whilst most were like me, frozen solid in their tracks.

“NOOOOOO!” The boy screamed. His scream managed to bring me back to my senses. I turned around and went back to the boy.

“It's gonna be fine…” I said, grabbing him and trying to calm him. “Everything will be-“

*CRACK*

On instinct, my eyes shut tight. What was that?! Suddenly, a weird warmth and wetness was all over my face. “Graham?”My heart raced as my eyes slowly crept open. “Graham, are you AUGHAAAAAAAAA!” I screamed as his head was sheared clean off, leaving only a stump.

“GRAHAMMMMMM!”

“Oh, I wouldn’t worry about him yet?”

I turned to the side, and there it was, the monster. It wore a snide, uncaring smile. The monster was covered head to toe in blood like it had just crawled its way out of the deepest pit in hell. It walked closer to us whilst it played with what looked like a stone in its hand.

“That was surprisingly effective.”

“GET BACK”

I instantly raised my hand, and a blast of ice shot out and towards the monster. 

“GO BACK TO WHERE THE HELL YOU CAME FROM” I poured all my mana into the beam. I wasn’t the best image, but this Had to do something. I looked back to my other sisters, who were still still reeling from the death of Graham.

“Everyone! I Don’t think this will stop it! You all need to escape now!”

“Oh hohoho, None of you are going ANYWHERE”, The monsters bellowed. Suddenly, there was a large burst of inky black smoke as the monster started to move forward.

“Some time ago, that would have been a problem,”

In an instant, the monster lunged forward and grabbed my neck.

“R..UN EVERYONE”

“You Have Ice powers and aren’t to bad looking. I think I'll keep you.” I reached over to fight but before I could do anything my vision went black.

“PLEASE STO-”

Blood gushed from the last nun's throat as my claw finished them off.

I looked around at the now-destroyed dormitory. Corpses and blood stained the walls, truly my best piece of work

We sprinted towards the rear of the building and out into some sort of garden filled with fruits and vegetables.

We continued down the loose stone path towards some sort of barn in the distance filled with lights. I slowed down, coming to a full stop inside some bushes. I `peeked through, and I could see several less-than-holy men loading stuff into several wagons.

He nodded.

I picked up a nearby rock from the path and showed it to him. < Let's put that new skill to work, shall we.>

He nodded, and a small clutch of 10 insects followed him. Whilst they were doing that, I quickly opened the menu and went to the [ROCK THROWING] ability

Would you like to upgrade this ability from level 1 to 4

Cost 16 points

 

Yes, yes, YES! Hurry up.

Skill upgraded

The speed and accuracy of rocks you go throw is increased 4x

Bonus: rocks you throw are now able to weakly home in on targets.

 

I readied my rock and looked for a target. My vision got sharper as I focused on his head. My arm muscles tensed and were poised and ready to send this rock flying into his cranium.

I watched and waited until, finally, there was a loud neighing noise as one of the horses collapsed to the ground. Followed by another and another.

I listened closely as the commotion of different people could be heard as they tried to figure out what was happening. I closed my eyes and used [hive link] to see out of one of my children's eyes.
