Chapter 6 Workers

(Dream)
Miss Nightmare: “..hahhh…”

(Dead bodies!)
Miss Nightmare: “ghhh.”
(…Mama…)
Miss Nightmare: “ugh!”

She woke up in shock…
Miss Nightmare: “Hahhh… hahhh…”
She turned around quickly, opened the closet, grabbed several pills and swallowed them.
Miss Nightmare: “(cough) (cough!)…”

(Knock!) (Knock!)
Miss Nightmare: “hahhh… hahh come in!”

The door opened.
Miss Nightmare: “Heinrich?”
Heinrich: “He… he’s here!…”
Miss Nightmare: “ugh!”

She quickly went to the wardrobe, put on her jacket, and hurried out.
Miss Nightmare: “Let’s go!”

They ran.
Miss Nightmare: “…And… greeting!!”

They gave the Nazi salute. The person arrived.
Heinrich: “Hahh…”
Miss Nightmare: “…hhh… Long time no see… Führer Sir Eisenberg!”

The leader of the Black Eyer… Eisenberg!

Miss Nightmare: “hah.”
Sir Eisenberg: “Long time no see… Sophie.”
Miss Nightmare: “…Glad to see you… Please come in!”

He stepped inside.

Sir Eisenberg: “Listen, Sophie… I heard some rather unpleasant news.”
Miss Nightmare: “Which is?”
Sir Eisenberg: “You… spare the children… of the enemies?… don’t use their blood?… no, not only that… YOU even let them live and eat!”
Miss Nightmare: “I don’t kill children, sir.”
Sir Eisenberg: “They are impure… Do you hear me?”
Miss Nightmare: “But wouldn’t it be better… to let them grow, and… that way they can work…”
Sir Eisenberg: “Impure stays impure… whether young or old. Someone from your squad told me this.”
Miss Nightmare: “And who would that be?”
Sir Eisenberg: “Hehehe… I’m not going to tell you…”
Heinrich: “My lord… the children can be taught by us. We can teach them… to kill… to fight… and also history.”
Sir Eisenberg: “I don’t care… This time I’ll let it slide… but you will kill them… do you hear me… I’ll return in a week to check… Now I just want the energy prepared for the camp in Argentina.”
Miss Nightmare: “Of course, sir.”

They gave him what he wanted — four glass bottles of blood as an energy drink, plus something electric.
Sir Eisenberg: “…By the way… Sophie.”
Miss Nightmare: “Yes?”
Sir Eisenberg: “Do you remember… back when we found you… when I found you…”
Miss Nightmare: “…(quiet)”
Sir Eisenberg: “The Mirica Reichner killed your parents in front of your eyes and impaled them… And you… you went through worse… one of them… even touched and humiliated you…”
Miss Nightmare: “hahhh…”
Sir Eisenberg: “Does the wound still remain?”

He touched her in an unpleasant place.
Miss Nightmare: “Hhh.”
Sir Eisenberg: “…Was it there… or on your back… or maybe… did he do something to your chest…”
Miss Nightmare: “…(quiet)…”

He played with her hair, then left.
Miss Nightmare: “hahhh…”

He left the room.
Miss Nightmare: “Heinrich… you… will find… the one… who told him… bring… him… to me… And if you… don’t find him by tonight… you will… kill… all the newly recruited soldiers…”

He was about to leave.
Miss Nightmare: “Wait… Bring me… something to drink… something strong… very strong…”
Heinrich: “But…”
Miss Nightmare: “Do it!”
Heinrich: “Alright…”

(A few minutes later)

Liza: “…(quiet)”
Dante: “Who are those people?”
Marlon: “I don’t know… maybe their leaders…”
Zoe: “I thought it was that Miss Nightmare.”
Dante: “No… if you look closely she’s too young for that… Also she only had a somewhat high Nazi rank symbol on her shoulder… meaning she’s not even really a general.”

(A few minutes later)

Heinrich: “Here it is…”
Miss Nightmare: “Thanks…”

He stepped back a bit.
Heinrich: “So… are we going to kill the children?”
Miss Nightmare: “…What?…”

She looked at him and stood up…
Miss Nightmare: “…No, damn it… I’m not killing children…”
Heinrich: “But…”
Miss Nightmare: “I’ll come up with something… But… I won’t do that… I don’t want to traumatize children… and I also don’t want to kill their parents!”
Heinrich: “You shouldn’t feel guilty for what you’ve been through…”
Miss Nightmare: “Shut up… Heinrich… do you think I like being here?… Do you think… I’m here because I like you guys?!”
Heinrich: “I do… I like it… We are the Aryan… race… don’t forget that.”
Miss Nightmare: “…tsss… screw you, you don’t even have blue eyes or blond hair…”
Heinrich: “Neither do you, you have white hair.”
Miss Nightmare: “I had… blond hair… Now go and find the traitor!”

He left.

Miss Nightmare: “Hahhh…”

She heard voices.

(My little… little child)
(You should do it)
Miss Nightmare: “Shut up!”
(See what they did to us)
Miss Nightmare: “Leave me alone!”
(Sister… sister… don’t you love us?)
Miss Nightmare: “Of course… I do…”
(Then don’t be… nice)
Miss Nightmare: “I’m… already not nice.”
(Kill them… kill them… kill them)

Miss Nightmare: “ghhhh…”

She grabbed the bottle and drank it all at once…
Miss Nightmare: “…bbbb… (Bleargh!)”

She threw up.

Miss Nightmare: “hahhh… hahhh…”

(Meanwhile)

Dante: “Hmm.”
Franklin: “Crates… you have to carry them.”
Zoe: “What… are we slaves or something?!”
Dante: “…(quiet)”
Franklin: “Kind of, yeah… so get up!”

They stood up.

Franklin: “Follow me.”

He led them to a large empty area… only stones and trees on the other side.

Franklin: “One side picks fruit, one side takes the pickaxes over there… you guys take those, the women do the gardening.”
Henry: “Hey, why the hard work for us?”
Franklin: “Stop whining… If you want, you can do something else — you can go wash clothes… like a pussy…”
Henry: “…tsss…”
Franklin: “hmph…”

(A few hours later)
Dante: “Hahhh…”
Kenn: “How… long… does this go on!… (Crash!)… hahhh…”
Dante: “I have no idea.”
Henry: “I should’ve… just… washed clothes.”
Marlon: “He… said you’d be a pussy.”
Henry: “Better a pussy with easy work… than this…”

(Meanwhile with the girls)
Zoe: “How long do we have to keep doing this?”
Liza: “I have no idea… hahh…”
Zoe: “Damn… I still can’t believe Mia is dead…”
Liza: “Hahh…”

(Dong… Dong!)

Franklin: “Attention, listen up — Miss Nightmare wants to see your work!”

The doors opened.

(step) (step!)

Miss Nightmare: “Hmmm… Good… that’s enough for today. Go rest… Tomorrow and the day after… for the next two weeks you will do this work…”
Zoe: “hahh…”
Henry: “That’s too much!”
Miss Nightmare: “You do what I say… Calm down… after those two weeks… we’ll give you 4 days rest, so… a break… you can shower… walk… f(bleep) if you want, do whatever you want… until then, work… you’re lucky we end at 8 PM and have food here… hmph… our camp isn’t exactly popular with Sir Eisenberg…”

She walked away.
Kenn: “…She… killed my sister… I’ll kill her.”

(Rest time)

Liza: “hahh…”
Zoe: “hmmm.”
Henry: “When’s the food coming?!”
Zoe: “Damn it, stop yelling… can’t you ever shut up?”
Henry: “What did you say?”

He got closer to her.

Henry: “…What did you just say?”
Zoe: “I said… shut your mouth…”
Henry: “ghhhh.”

He tried to hit her but she dodged and kicked him in the balls.

Henry: “ugh… guhghhhh…”

He fell to the ground.
Henry: “ughh…”
Zoe: “Tsss.”
Liza: “Hahhh…”
Dante: “Long day… huh.”
Marlon: “Shouldn’t we… stop her?”
Dante: “No… let her be.”
Henry: “ghhh.”

(Knock!)
The door opened — Miss Nightmare was there.

Miss Nightmare: “Look… I’m personally bringing you food.”
Kenn: “hahh.”
Heinrich: “(He looked at her)”

He looked at her — Kenn did.

Miss Nightmare: “hmmm… oh… you must be the brother… Here!”

She set down the food — he glared at her.

Miss Nightmare: “Don’t look at me like that… your sister was very sick… she wouldn’t have survived anyway… be glad I made it quick.”

She left. The food was rice, a fish, and water.
Henry: “Hahhh… what is this?”
Dante: “Don’t complain… this is better than expected… and better than nothing.”

They started eating.

(After eating)

Marlon: “You know, Dante…”
Dante: “What?”
Marlon: “I feel like… this Miss Nightmare… might not be all that evil.”
Dante: “Hahhh… she’s not nice… but honestly… I think another one would be worse…”
Marlon: “Seems like there are several camps…”
Dante: “mhm.”
Zoe: “hahh… and she’s still a bitch.”
Kenn: “She killed Mia…”
Zoe: “That’s not even true, she wasn’t sick.”
Kenn: “Yes… yes it’s true… Mia was sick… she… she had only one kidney… and… also very weak lungs, no asthma… but still weak lungs… Still… I’m angry… at that woman, Miss Nightmare.”

(Meanwhile)

Heinrich: “hahhh…”
Miss Nightmare: “Hahh… so it was you… the one who told Sir Eisenberg… not even… Müller.”
Müller: “I’m… I’m sorry…”

Müller trembled.

Miss Nightmare: “You know… I find it sad… how this happened… I thought it was one of the new recruits… then I find out… it was you… And we’ve known each other for so long… we were both raised by Sir Eisenberg…”
Müller: “Hahhh…”
Miss Nightmare: “Admit it… you did it so he’d kill me… and you… would become the leader.”
Müller: “…yes…”
Miss Nightmare: “…Hensen Müller… you are so screwed!”

She took something… it was a button… above him, a chainsaw.
Müller: “No… No!”

(Button!)
(Bzzzzz)

It came down… lower and lower.
Müller: “No… No… No please… Sophie!”

(Splach!)

It cut him in half.

(Splach!)
Miss Nightmare: “Hahhh… Good… Done… Throw this body out… don’t bury it… someone like him doesn’t deserve a burial.”

She left the room, heading for her quarters… when she suddenly felt someone grab her leg.
Miss Nightmare: “hmm.”

It was one of the children — a little girl.

Miss Nightmare: “…Your… name… was Ashley… right?… What is it?”

She knelt down.

Miss Nightmare: “You’re not very talkative, are you?… hmm… are you scared?”

She nodded.

Miss Nightmare: “Don’t worry… I’ll protect you… Everything’s fine…”

She picked her up and took her to the children’s room — everyone was already asleep.
Miss Nightmare: “See?”

She laid her on the bed. She was about to leave but Ashley held her hand.
Ashley: “No… please stay here.”
Miss Nightmare: “Hahh… fine… I’ll stay until you fall asleep, okay?”
Ashley: “mhm.”

She stroked Ashley’s hair and hummed…
Miss Nightmare: “Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are! Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky…” (She sang more verses.)

She fell asleep.

Miss Nightmare: “hahh… that was quick.”

Miss Nightmare kissed her on the forehead and quietly left.

Miss Nightmare: “I will not kill you…”

She said quietly and left the room.
Miss Nightmare: “Hahhh… One day… I will kill Sir Eisenberg!”
