Nightclaw: Rampage

We last read Chapter 16, in which the werewolf villainess Carla Rosenblood a.k.a. Nightclaw began her horrific massacre at the Stanford University dorm buildings, starting with a golf cart of three police officers just outside. She swiftly decapitates two of the three with a single leap and swipe, before fatally impaling the third in the heart with all five jet-black claws from her right paw and maneuvering the golf cart itself to slam into the double doors at the back of the dorm building, allowing her entry and causing a massive scene in the process. Now having gained entry, Nightclaw bolts inside.

Because of the loud and blaring music coming from the common room—due to a late-night party taking place inside—Nightclaw is able to locate the venue easily and start murdering every last student inside. Her initial entry already kills a student after she launches the main door directly off its hinges and inadvertently pins said student between it and a segment of the outer wall, breaking their ribs and squishing their lungs in the process. Then, she short-circuits the DJ's music setup with her claws—killing the DJ and five other students—before laying it on thick with the bloodshed.

Throats are slit, heads are bitten off, smoke is inhaled, and people are fatally trampled by their own kind in the ensuing panic. Of note, Nightclaw unintentionally starts a three-person game of "hot potato" with the disembodied head of one of her victims; a game which she puts a decisive end to when she intercepts, grabs the disembodied head mid-flight, and slams it onto the head of one of the "players", squishing their head into paste—as well as the disembodied one's—before also killing the second and fourth students with jet-black claw shots to the heart. She also successfully stops another student who attempts to call for help on his smartphone, destroying said smartphone in the process while also killing that student......and three others as well.

Soon, Nightclaw—either directly or indirectly—ends the life of every single student in the common room, whether it be through slicing their throat, biting their head off, squashing their head, unintentionally burning them with the spreading fire from the DJ's destroyed music setup—or having them inhale too much smoke—or having them be fatally trampled by their own kind.....crowd surging, in other words. Still, since she doesn't see her former best friend Brian Banks anywhere around, she opts to move on to the dorm rooms proper, bursting in and killing everyone inside each one until finding him. The chapter ended with Nightclaw leaving the burning common room in "triumph" before lowering herself on all fours and bounding in the direction of the dorm rooms.

This time, Nightclaw gives a whole new meaning to "door-to-door service"......

Wow.

Just.....wow.

These students over here must be really heavy sleepers if they were unable to be stirred by all the chaos I incited back there in the common room. I wonder if they're dreaming about something particularly enthralling. If so, I hope they enjoy it as best they can.....because soon, I'll come calling.

Case in point.....I'm coming up on the first dorm room of many.

Time to get to work.

I don't knock, like a polite person would do. I don't move on, like an ignorant person would do. And I don't try to disguise myself as a friendly person, like a liar would do.

No. I noisily kick open the door right off of its hinges, sending a very loud crashing sound reverberating through the entire room and jolting both of students inside it awake just as I barge into their bedroom. And both of them are panicking hard. Like.....hard. As in....."they're screaming their heads off" hard.
