Mania and the Executioner by A. L. Bridges Read Free Book Online

‘they’ were going to hunt me down before I sliced his pelvis in half. Then he said that ‘they’ were going to kill ‘that little bitch’ of mine slowly before I slowly drilled a hole through his stomach, getting a primal pleasure from hearing his screams of agony. His entire body was flaking away before I divided him into quadrants and got the idea to save Cheza.” I explain, closing my eyes because I just can’t handle being able to see what’s on Tia’s face right now.
    “There, it’s alright now Cole.” Tia says soothingly as she comes over and hugs me.
    “Have you been able to create the Mu-cutter since that time?” Tia asks.
    “I haven’t tried. From what Airi said , it uses up 1.8 Liters to make and the tendrils used up a total of 2.0 Liters for eight of them, I think.” I tell her.
    “Could you try and make the Mu-cutter now?” She asks while pulling back from me.
    “I would but I’m about a liter low right now; I had to fill my stomach with blood so I could vomit up the bullets and I’ve regenerated about half a liter since that time. Add another 1.8 Liters to that and I’ll likely pass out before it is complete.” I tell her.
    “Let’s try another time then.” Tia says while warmly smiling at me.
    I feel that Cheza is waking up so I head into the bedroom.
    “Mmm…Cole?” Cheza sleepily asks.
    “Hey, how are you feeling? The fatigue must have caught up to you and you fainted.” I lie.
    “Cole…I know you manipulated your blood that is in me to make me faint…” Cheza says.
    “H-how?” I stammer, slightly afraid for my life.
    “For the same reason that I know that you’re a little afraid of my impending reaction, but don’t be; I also know that you feel guilty about it, so I forgive you. And I know that you are low on blood, which most likely having something to do with the reason there are three bullet holes in your stomach that are still healing. Cole, why did you lie to me about getting shot?” Cheza says quietly.
    “I just don’t want to make you worry…” I tell her.
    “Cole, I love you. It’s okay for me to worry; I just don’t want to be in the dark anymore. Also…why won’t you have sex with me?” Cheza asks.
    “I, uh…how do I say this…” I stumble along.
    “Still see me as a little sister and not as a woman.” Cheza answers for me , looking downtrodden.
    “I guess I’ll just have to work on that.” Cheza smiles , but it seems somewhat insincere.
    (Can she hear me as well?)
    As soon as Airi says that, I feel my mind connect with Cheza’s.
    “ WHOA! Was that Airi!?” Cheza exclaims.
    “Cheza, can you hear me too?” I think. Cheza eyes go wide as she nods in response.
    “Stay here, I’m going to test something.” I think as I race out of the room and down the hall to the elevator. “Can you still hear me?”
    “Yeah… Cole, this is a little freaky.” Cheza replies in my mind.
    “Airi, can you close the link?” I ask. I feel the connection between Cheza and I close. “Open it again, please.”
    “Cheza?” I think as I start walking back down the hall.
    “Yup , I can hear you. That’s good that we can close it; being able to constantly hear each other’s thoughts would get embarrassing.” Cheza replies.
    “Yeah it would! I think we should tell Tia about this.” I think as I re-enter the bedroom. Tia probably should know and since this seems like a day for sharing things…
    “Wow! That’s what happened while I was dead!?” Cheza asks out loud.
    “What?” I ask.
    “I just saw your conversation with Tia from your point of view.” Cheza replies.
    “Airi, close the link.” I think as I shout “Tia!”
    “What’s up? My guess is that Chezarei can somehow hear Airi and you were testing to see if Cheza rei could still hear her if you were far apart.” Tia asks.
    “Close. Airi can open a connection between us that allows us to telepathically talk to one another and Cheza was just able to see my memory of the conversation
