Reaper

Translation

has his finger on the trigger when a pathetic noise can be heard. A child's crying. Suki can't take it any longer and gets out of her hiding place as if in slow motion. The high sobs get louder and when the girl lifts her head, the sharp fangs that were sticking out of her mouth before have disappeared and her previously ice-cold, blood-red eyes are clear and blue and shimmer with tears. Suki walks slowly towards her, without wasting a second thought that she actually hadn't wanted to be caught by Sey. He's eyeing her anyway without saying a word, and his expression shows that he had obviously been aware of her presence for a long time. He takes one more step towards the sobbing bundle in front of him and tries to fire the final shot when Suki gets in his way.
"Don't! Wait ... look at her ... she's crying .."
She bends down to the little one, who in turn looks up, her lips forming silent words.
"I can not understand you..."
She gets a little closer to the girl and this time she can understand the whispered sounds.
"Mommy said everything will be fine ... but she lied ... I couldn't breathe ... I couldn't breathe ... but she didn't stop ..."
"What did she do?"
The little one's face becomes serious and her next words fall blankly from her lips.
"She killed me."
Suki shudders at the thought of it and the little girl looks so abandoned and compassionate that she wanted to hug her and comfort her.But from one moment to the next this impression changes completely. The sadness in the girl's eyes turns into anger and she clenches her little hands into fists.
"Why? Why did she drown me in the bathroom? I wasn't a bad girl! Why did she kill me?"
Her words turn into a shrill scream as she reaches for the completely perplexed Suki and ruthlessly pushes her into the ice-cold water of the canal. She can't hear Sey's shocked call or the three gunshots that immediately follow him as her head plunges into the water. But she feels like an invisible force pulling her down, despite her hectic swimming movements. She feels as if a dozen hands are pulling her down. The last of the air escapes from her lungs and rises in a large bladder. She thinks her lungs are bursting and the pressure on her ears is getting more and more uncomfortable. At some point her arms give up as if by themselves, although she is still staring longingly up at the bright surface of the water, behind which her lungs greedily await fresh air. Gradually colored lights flash before their eyes, as if they wanted to make their hopeless situation a laughable one. Then it gradually gets dark around them ...

Meanwhile, on the surface, Sey has to discover that this demon is far more resilient than he had suspected. His three shots, with the extra strong special bullets that usually served their purpose, tore a tennis ball-sized hole in the girl's skull and smashed her lower jaw, but she was still standing, and the tower of water that felt like an angry, menacing monster rears up behind her doesn't bode well, he is sure of that. He searches frantically for Suki with his eyes, but he cannot see her anywhere on the troubled surface. He only has one choice. He reloads his weapon and awaits the devastating final attack by the demon.She raises her arms, and when they stand in a horizontal position, the mountain of water behind her also stops growing. She remains in this position for a moment before jerking her arms forward, whereupon the masses of water fall like a huge wave on Sey, but carefully leave a hole around her as if the space around the girl were water-repellent. Sey uses the opportunity, his eyes shine in a dark glowing red when he takes a run-up and, just as the wave directly in front of him hits the ground for the first time, pushes himself off with all his might and jumps towards the liquid wall. The cold while diving takes his breath away for a moment and he feels how the pressure threatens to throw him back, but after a moment he already feels how it breaks through the surface on the other side. He is in the cavity that the water has formed around the girl, and before she can express her amazement, he is already standing in front of her and holds the muzzle of his weapon to her forehead, right between her narrow eyebrows, and pulls the trigger .
