Faith took a couple seconds after the girl left to gather her thoughts. The infiltration wasn't easy and it took a lot out of her. Even worse, she was getting tired and sleepy.
'After this I have to leave or I might get caught by Nightmare.'
Faith turned to the room. It had a big desk in the middle and bookshelves on both sides.
'Where did he get books from?'
She would've loved to skim through them, but was short on time so instead she went straight to the desk. It was well organized there were a bunch of small things on it.
'Probably paper weights or something.'
But then she looked closer and actually gasped. A shiver ran down her spine. All over the table were bones, kept as memorabilias. There was a finger, part of a femur, a jaw and a dozen others she couldn't even name.
'What a sick fuck!'
Faith turned toward the drawers and opened the top right one. It had a bunch of papers in it. She started going through them, but put them down fast after she realized they were daily reports.
The next drawer was similar, but the one under it turned out to be quite interesting. It was a book or maybe an album?
Faith opened it and nearly dropped it. It was an album, and in it were pictures of naked woman. All of them were either dead, dying or just terrified. Next to them were nicknames, hair samples and teeth. Faith looked through it until she found it. There in the book was a picture of a horrified and dirty girl about 8 years old, next to the picture it read 'FREAK'.
A small tear ran down Faith's perfect face. She quickly closed the book and placed it back where she found it.
'Don't worry... We will rescue you soon... All of you...'
She shook her head and began searching through the other drawers. They only had junk in them.
'If I was an insane, rapist, asshole where would I hide my most precious information? At home? No, his table is organized, which implies he keeps work seperate from fun.'
Faith thought for a while, then looked towards the bookshelves and smiled.
'Who would keep books in the Apocalypse? Maybe someone who has to hide something in them.'
Faith made sure everything was in order on the table. Then walked towards the shelves and took the first book she found. Its cover was barren of writing and opening it the pages were the same, it was completely empty.
She opened another, then another and another. After about ten books she stopped.
'They are empty, all of them. Why? Why go through the trouble of making all these books? Maybe not all of them are empty? But they all looked the same, how would he know which one to open?'
After she put the books back at their exact places, Faith began comparing the spines.
'We decided to send my sister to Newber. We are safe currently so its fine. I also decided to make the woman whores. If they don't fight and look good, why don't my soldiers enjoy them.'
<Day 56 since the Fall>
'Good news, my headache disappeared without a trace! Finally my mind is free, maybe I enjoy a couple of woman. It's nice to see them trying to fight me, so I can beat them up.'
<Day 58 since the Fall>
'Lucy finally came back, Newber seems to be destroyed. I don't really care though. With this news spreading I can finally rule without opposition. Well, there is Bea. I should beat her into submission as well. After all I'm an Ascended already, now even she can't stop me.'
<Day 60 since the Fall>
'THAT TRAITOROUS FUCK!!! I WILL KILL THEM ALL!!!'
<Day 61 since the Fall>
'Why? Why am I like this? I just want to hurt others... Why?'
<Day 62 since the Fall>
'I should surrender to it! It whispers to me! It says if I stop fighting all my problems cease to exist!'
<Day 63 since the Fall>
'Hehe, I am free. Hehe, the end is near. But first it spreads! IT HAS TO SPREAD! Spread. Need more!
There has to be more! Everyone will be more!'
<Day 68 since the Fall>
'The Bright Whore has arrived, but the surprise is nearly ready. And then she will join!'
This was the last entry, there is more writing afterward. But it's either gibberish or a Mad persons ravings.
'This is a lot to process. So, Lucy is Nightmare's sister? How did non of us knew? Even more surprising, Bea was his lover? They hung out a bunch of times everyone knew that, but to have this close of a relationship? And who is Hellfire, his name comes up a lot.
He was or is an important person to Nightmare. What happened to him?'
Before she could think about it longer, she lost control and said.
"You have to leave immediately, Nightmare is coming!"
