Defiance

"Kill them all, we must save their lives!" Was the directive that had gone out before the invasion.

With their blessed weapons it was their duty to bless primitives species (the advanced ones put up to much of a fight). A simple shoot and then, eternal bliss! Each species was different, but pleasure was all the same. They knew that they too would be blessed in the end. But now they had a duty to uphold, as they massacred the humans throughout the town.

 

Marching along their streets he felt as the first prophets must have felt, delivering blessings to all. Behind him the now saved and blessed humans lay down, shaking. Their mind filled with ecstasy, from now until forever into their next lives.

An entire army of primitives were nothing before one of them, since they had righteousness and blessings of force fields on their side. Forward soldiers, forwards! Deliver them from their wretched existence and bring them into the fold.

 

His comrades had spread out through the village and now most of it was blessed, as evident by the smoke pillars rising against the sky. Almost all of the village had been blessed, but there was one house left. He walked trough the door, the frame bulged under the power of his forcefield. With it, no primitive could even get close. Unless he choose to approach them.

 

"I come in peace, to bless all." The standard greeting when entering another's abode. Primitives or not, standards must be upheld.

"Please don't kill my mommy." The tiny creature before him shock where it stood and tears were dripping from its eyes. "She can't run."

"Do not worry little one, only blessings will be given today." Poor creatures, can't distinguish between eternal bliss and death. Well that was why they were here after all.

He reached down to pat her. "Soon everything will be better, eternal bliss awaits!" The shaking and tears stopped, finally a creature that had seen reason.

 

"I will just bless you with my weapon and all will be well. Just stand there and-" Pain, the ultimate enemy, protruded from his chest.

When he looked down a knifes handle sat in it, still vibrating from the force of the stabbing.

"Your not going to hurt my mommy." The little creature was crying no more, defiance shown in its face.

"I-I have come to-" Blue blood filled his lungs and mouth, each breath being harder than the one before. This was the promised end, soon a brethren would come along and bless him! Even if he would fall his soul would be set free, eternity in bliss, no more pain.

 

He let the weapon go and collapsed down onto the floor. Breathing hurt so much, when he layed face down in a pool of his own blood, just let it be over.

The little girl took his arm and dragged him, bit by bit, towards the other room. As he got to the edge the little girl released him and his eyes could see the terrible scene inside. His brethren, spread across the floor, dead.

The little girls eyes had a dangerous glimmer to them. "No one, will hurt my mommy!" The stench of gasoline filled his nostrils, oh no not burning, anything but burning! He had not been blessed yet, did the creature not know what she was doing?

"L-little one, p-please bless m, me." The little girl had stopped dragging him and was scanning the weapon he had dropped. "Y-Yes, p-please."

"No!" She picked up the gun and dragged it towards another room, another pile he realized, must be inside.

 

When she return she was carrying a matchstick and it's box.

"W-Why?"

"Cause you dummies hurt mommy!" She struck the match but it broke, three more times he had to suffer in angst before a flame was lit.

"P-Plea, bl-bless-" Coughing with a sickening wet sound escaped his throat, as his voice filled with blood.

The little girl dropped the matchstick and fire roared, quickly enveloping the entire gasoline entrenched room. Including a bit of the girls shirt that caugh fire.

"Ahh! Stupid fire." She said, as she backed away to a safer distance while hitting it like a misbehaving teddy bear. "Need to get mommy!" At those words the little human turned around and walked towards the stairs.

As the flames started to lick his body, he saw the little one drag a body out from under its hiding place beneth the stairs. The lifeless corps of a adult female human was difficult to drag for the little girl, as she stumbled onwards towards the backdoor.

 

When the corps had been dragged out all the way outside the house and outside his view, the flames started to burn his flesh.

The licking flames covered his body, causing pain to sear through it, unable to move a finger. With one last glance upwards, he saw the girl.

Standing in the opening, just watching him burn. A little smile covered her face, like a demon from another world as he was engulfed in the flames.
