CHAPTER FOUR
TW: DEATH, MURDER, GORE-ALL FICTIONAL, IN WRITING, NO ART
Skylar shrieked as she stared at the dead body. “TAYLOR!”
She fell to her knees, sobbing violently as she did so. “Taylor, Taylor, please tell me this is a joke, what happened, what-”
Chris entered the room, no longer tied up.
“Christopher, what-” Skylar began before she felt a dagger in her eye. She gasped, then screamed as Chris removed the dagger, shoving her to the ground.
Chris shoved her head into the wall as she wailed, raising the dagger with no emotion in his eyes. He ran the dagger through her skull, making sure to kill her.
He shoved her to the side, next to her murdered brother. He knew Skylar’s girlfriend, who he’d been told was ‘Anita,’ would return soon, but he was ready.
He got up and hid behind a few boxes as Anita entered the room. “Skylar, what-” she began before dropping everything and sobbing.
“Skylar!” she screamed, shaking Skylar aggressively. “Please, please be joking, this can’t be happening, you can’t be dead-”
“You all have some very basic reactions to death.” Chris mumbled as he rose up. “Both you and Skylar begged for this to be a joke. Too bad it isn’t.”
Anita got to her feet, prepared to fight, though had already dropped her weapon.
“You’re all very stupid.” Chris said blankly. “Maybe you should’ve fed me. Then this might not’ve happened.”
Anita growled and charged, but Chris merely held the dagger out. Anita ran right into, coughing up blood as she did so. “No, wait-”
Chris pulled the dagger out and threw it into Anita’s throat, hitting an artery.
Anita gasped, but she could no longer speak. She was going to die now, there was nothing she could do to survive. The least she could do was try to kill Chris, avenge her friends, but it was too late.
Chris stepped forward and pulled the dagger out again, this time stabbing her in the heart.
“You’re almost as bad as my brother.” he whispered before slamming her into the wall.
He retrieved his dagger once more and stared at the bodies, now coming to the realization that he had killed somebody. Three somebodies.
“Wait.” Chris mumbled. “Wait, wait, no. What have I- what did I- what have I done?”
Chris backed himself into a wall as he stared at the corpses, suddenly growing hungry.
“Why do I- what is this- I don’t-” he stammered as he turned to see a drone. He gasped and threw his dagger at it, hitting it midair. “Please say nobody saw that. Please, please, please…” he sobbed.
Aviva stared at the screen silently. “No.” she mumbled. She backed away, frightened. “No. he can’t- he wouldn’t do that.”
Jimmy continued screaming, covering his eyes.
“Jimmy, will you please shut up?” Aviva hissed. “You probably didn’t even see what happened!”
“I didn’t!” Jimmy wailed. “But I hate it!”
“Oh my- You’re such an idiot.” Aviva growled.
JImmy simply continued sobbing and screaming as Aviva tried to understand what had happened. Koki was still in a separate room.
Meanwhile, Martin and Zach were sitting in Zach’s living room, complaining about the screams.
“Oh my penguin, will he ever shut up?” Martin huffed.
“I don’t know, but if he will, he’d better hurry it up.” Zach grumbled.
Martin paused. “Wait. That’s Jimmy screaming.”
Zach nodded. “Yeah, whoever that is, it’s probably him screaming.”
“He’s part of the Wild Kratts crew. And he’s screaming.”
“Yeah, what-”
“And we can hear him. He’s not screaming that loud.”
Zach tilted his head in confusion. “What are you getting at?”
“Don’t you get it? Jimmy and the others must be nearby, and they have to be in the Tortuga. I know Jimmy, and he hates doing anything other than eating, laying around and piloting the Tortuga.” Martin said, standing up. “They’re nearby, and Chris is outside.”
“It’s been a few days since we last saw him, he’s probably a lot farther away-”
“Or he somehow got into contact with them and joined back.” Martin hissed.
Zach hesitated. “Well, even if he did, he has no way of knowing where we are right now, right?”
“Maybe. But, you know, I did manage to track his creature pod. He may have reversed it somehow, and he’s tracking us.”
“Well, uh, Jim or whatever you called him isn’t the only one screaming.” Zach mumbled. “Didn’t you hear it earlier? There were a few different voices.”
“Right. Maybe the entire team?” Martin said to himself. “Maybe Chris has gone rogue. That’d actually be quite funny. He runs away from us just to beat up the others, that’d be something to laugh at.”
Zach sighed. “Right. That would be so funny.”
Martin laughed to himself, his eyes now a brighter shade of red. Zach simply laughed along, though it was forced.
What had happened to Martin?
Chris stared at the corpses, breathing heavily. “This is bad, I didn’t mean to, I mean- What did I- This wasn’t what I- I don’t-”
Chris groaned and held his stomach. “By the moons, I’m hungry.” he hissed.
He paused and stared at the bodies again. “Oh, come on, this can’t be the only option.”
He attempted to open the windows, doors, and even attempted to break down the old, rotting walls.
“There’s gotta be a way out. I don’t wanna have to eat that.” he groaned. He proceeded to kick at the door, only now coming to the realization that someone was screaming.
“Yo, who is that.” Chris said suddenly. He listened to the voice, gasping as he realized it was Jimmy’s.
“I swear, if Martin hurt Jimmy in any way, I’ll-” he began before stepping on Akita’s arm.
“Ew what the FALCON THAT IS SO GROSS” he screeched.
He jumped back and landed in a pile of boxes. “oW wHAt is IN THESE bOxEs-”
He proceeded to shriek at every little thing for about half an hour until he finally ran out of breath.
“Stars, my throat hurts.” he sighed. He stared at the ceiling, suddenly realizing it wasn’t built like a roof, instead like a floor.
“Is. Is there an upstairs.” he mumbled. “I swear to the heavens, if I’ve been trying to get out of here for hours only for there to be an upstairs-”
He got up and searched for a trapdoor, finding one above Taylor’s body. “Oh, yuck, do I have to like, stand on him?”
He stared at the body for a minute before sighing and shoving it out of the way and replacing it with some boxes.
He stood atop the boxes and pulled the trapdoor open, a ladder falling through the opening.
He screeched as the ladder nearly missed him, then stared at it, sighed, and climbed up, realizing that there were a few windows, but all closed. “Come on, this is so stupid. Guess I gotta break ‘em open or something.”
He spent the next hour or so attempting to break the windows open, but the windows refused to break.
“This is so stupid.” he groaned, collapsing. “I just want to sleep.”
The front door opened and a man stepped in.
“Well, well, well, looks like I’ve got some practically fresh meat at the ready.” he chuckled, shoving the bodies of the kidnappers into a large burlap bag.
He paused, staring at the ladder leading upstairs. “Oh, is someone up there?”
He climbed up only to find an unconscious Chris laying on the floor.
“Hm. Might as well take him too.” he mumbled, throwing Chris over his shoulder.
He left the cottage, ignoring the many drones watching him.
Aviva stared at the screen as Jimmy continued to scream.
“I have no idea how you’re still screaming, you haven’t had a drop of water in hours.” Koki mumbled as she re-entered the room.
Aviva continued to stare.
“Aviva, you good-?” Koki began.
“No. That was- Chris just got taken.” she said blankly.
“Wait, what? So that was him? That was the Chris that girl was-”
“Yes. But he- they’re dead. The girl who killed the bird and others. But they all got taken.”
Koki tilted her head in confusion. “What- Who’s going around killing a bunch of psychopaths and kidnapping Kratts?”
“Gourmand.” Aviva muttered.
“What?” Koki asked.
“Gourmand. Chris and the bodies were taken by Gourmand.”
