Update 7: Dark Days

St. Krist City, Follomer

The SKPD surrounded the mall and searched for the gunmen, but no one was left, and the ones that were left, were slumped in the snow. The chopper that brought the attackers in was long gone.

Amongst the bodies, one was mysteriously missing, only the blood still remaining in the once white snow. Officers however found footprints leading away from where the body was. They couldn't believe what had happened.

SKPD Officer1: Oh goddess, this hasn't happened in years...

SKPD Officer2: These poor people, never saw it coming.

Follomer Capital Building, St. Krist

People who barely knew of what had just occured over at Willow Place continued on their own personal duties, oblivious to the terror just several blocks away. In seconds though, people started to gasp and scream as a young NekoHuman girl made her way down the plaza, holding the limp body of another young Human girl in her arms. The girl didn't say a word as shockened passerbys stopped and moved to the side, not sure what to do. Some tried to dial the police but were put on hold because the already influx of calls about the mall.

The girl walked across the plaza toward the large flag of the Follomer nation, with the AFDES Alliance flag flying under it. Just as she appeared in the open, and dozens of people stood around stricken in terror of the sight of the blood covered girl, Chancellor Tristan came running across the road, noticing the spectacle as well.

Chancellor Tristan: T-TESSA!

Tessa stood under the flag which fluttered in the crisp winter breeze before dropping to her knees, still holding the limp body in her arms. Tristan ran up to her before stopping in a halt. A closer look at the two figures also shocked him into pure fright. Tessa, know on her knees was covered from head to toe in blood, some of it dripping onto the white snow under her. The body in her arms, was Jensa. Limp, face up toward the cloudy sky, the wound in the back of her head continued to bleed out.

Tristan gazed in pure horror at Jensa before looking toward his own daughter, looking at her like she was, almost, just almost, a murderer...a monster. But only for a second, before he realized she was his daughter, right at the same moment he saw her look back up at him, weakness, terror and helplessness filling her eyes.

Tessa: T-th-th-they killed h-her... Th-they killed, everybody!

Tristan stood in shock as well as everyone else around them, the crowd was growing larger now, and a police car puled up and two officers ran out. Tessa remained where she was.

Tessa: S-so many...they, k-killed her! They killed my friend!!

Chancellor Tristan: ...who, Tessa?

She didn't notice he asked her a question, and began to rock back and forth, tears rolling down her blood stained face, her face scrunching up.

Tessa: B-but, I killed them...I t-turned and killed them...

Tristan knelt down as the two officers broke through the crowd and then stopped as they recognized the Chancellor, and then joined the crowd in the frightened gawking.

Chancellor Tristan: Tessa...who did this??

Tessa choked on her sobs and watched as her tears hit Jensa's face and cheeks before raising her head back up, staring straight into his eyes and screamed.

Tessa: THEY KILLED HER!
