The Apocalypse

5

I woke up with a feeling that somebody was hitting me in the head over and over with a sledgehammer. I tried to move my arms and legs but they were held in place. Then I saw a shadow move in the corner.

"I know you're there Lisa, "I called to the darkness.

"Ahw man. I wanted to scare you."

"Why do this to me?"

"Because you were the one who took my place on the Forager group. Even after my injury healed up, they told me you were better than me and put me in a group full of self-loving snobs."

I cringed and had to stifle a laugh.

"You think that's funny huh? HUH?!?!"She screamed as he punched me across the face over and over again. Within seconds my face was a b****y wreck. 

"You think you're strong?!?!" She continued screaming and punching me, "Well you're not! Look at you, being beaten up by a girl who you just met! You little snivelling piece of s*it!"

When she realised I wasn't talking anymore.

"See? You are just as weak as a fricking slug."

When I didn't talk she was left in a huff talking to herself, saying how she should have hit less hard. I finally got a good look around the room. Suddenly, blinding lights flooded the room and I was blinded. Then a booming voice said, I KNEW YOU WEREN'T OUT COLD! I shut my eyes as hard as I could, but the light still got into my eyes. 

"Could you turn those lights off?"

Then I had a real surprise. The blinding lights went off and I could see again. I finally got a decent view of the room. I was shocked at what I saw. Every single person in the base was here. And a lot of them were awake with their mouths taped shut, probably because they were too loud. Then I saw something else that was weird. Standing next to Lisa was... Alex. 

"Alex?"

"Sup."

"You mother****ing traitor."

"Language mate. There are kids here."

I was so angry I could have set fire to a house. With superhuman strength, I broke my binds and started strangling Alex. Suddenly, with a force unknown to mankind, I was thrown off Alex. I hit the wall at the far end of the box we were in and I hit my head. I felt dizzy and was losing blood. I staggered to my feet and tried to find what had thrown me off. I saw that there was nothing and then it hit me. It was Lisa. So I wasn't the only one with superhuman strength. But what she didn't know was that I had healing powers but it took a lot of concentration.

"Give me a minute," I huffed.

"Ok," Lisa said, surprising me.

I concentrated hard, and finally, I felt the wound healing. In a few minutes, I was done and fully healed as if nothing had ever happened. 

"Ok. We can continue." I said. When I didn't get a response I looked up to see her looking at me with surprise, "What?" 

"You just healed yourself." 

"And..?"

"How?" She was really confused.

I laugh. How stupid was she?

"Ever watched Deadpool or Wolverine?"

"Yeah."

"Healing powers like Deadpool, but I have to concentrate."

"Oh cool."

I roll my eyes and put my hand up into a boxing stance and motion to her with my fists.

"Oh. Right." She says getting into her fighting stance. We charge at each other and she throws the first punch. I easily dodge it but then she throws another quick punch that I did NOT see coming and hits me in the temple.  I did a mini nae-nae and ended up on the floor, dazed and confused. She looked surprised that she had almost knocked me out and I took the split second of distraction to kick her feet out from under her than I jumped up onto my feet and got back into my fighting stance. She gets back up and dusts herself off looking for any damage. Then she looks at her nails. Then her eyes almost burst out of her sockets and she screams, "YOU CHIPPED MY NAIL!!!!"

And then she charges me. I was so surprised that she was angry about her nail I didn't react when she knocked me to the floor and started punching me in the face. After the tenth punch, my face was a wreck and that's when I came out of my trance. I easily pushed her off me and got to my feet huffing and puffing. I looked ta the mirror across the room and saw that she had split both my lips, given me a black eye and broken my nose. Damn, she could punch. Then I see movement out of the corner of my eye and turn just as the axe comes at me. I doge it but It literally shaves off an inch of my hair. I turn to look at who had thrown it when I was hit in the back by Lisa. As soon as I hit the ground I'm on my feet ready for a fight but no one attacks me. I look around in surprise. Then I saw what everyone else had seen. Lisa, with an axe buried in her chest, looking surprised and being held onto by Alex who was sobbing and say her was sorry over and over again, cradling her head in his arms.

"It's... o-ok... A-A-Alex." She splutters, coughing up blood. 

"Don't waste your breath. We'll find you a doctor. We'll fix you up."

"N-n-no... you... won't." Then she stops breathing and her eyes roll up and into her skull.  

Everybody sits, totally still, all looking at the thing that had once been Lisa...
