Blood!
Flowing everywhere!
Always following me!
I want to break free but i cant!!!
Disaster always follows people everywhere, anytime, and unexpected.
Just like what happened today, again my friends died. Once again I cant do anything. But to run and hide. Seeing them with fears in their eyes while enemies are killing them one by one. Those enemies must be annihilated.
But i have no strength.
I have no courage to do so.
That's right when i came here.
I remember that time. A couple that dont have a child, saw me in the middle of the forest lying unconcious. They bring me to their house. When i woke up, they ask me why i am there, but i cannot tell. I have no idea. I cannot remeber anything. Only l can do is to stare at them blankly and take a deep breath. They wanted a child to raise, so they adapted me as their son. They call me Gabriel and I call them dad and mom. They are very nice to me. Father is a cobbler. Mother stays in the house caring me. We live a happy life in the village called tengoku. I help my father at work. Dad and i also play with my mom when dad has day off. We go to park and make some fun. Also making friends with other kids. The kids l met are very friendly, so l have no problem. But sometimes life is not like a fairy tale that always happy. When l got 17 my father died, there are people that will do anything to others just to live. On the 1st day of january. Its midnight where my dad will close his work place. Bad guys suddenly appeared before my dad. They rob my fathers workplace. After they robbed, they make sure there is no witness. They killed my father. Are they not contented in what they got? Why killed my father? These are the questions that cannot let go of my mind. But this is just the start of my misery. Suddenly a bad luck still happens. After 3 months after my father died, my mom commit suicide because she cannot take that dad was gone. I am the only left. I have to continue my life, because this is what my mom and dad want. The only left for me is the house and the workplace of mom and dad. Now its been a year after mom and dad's death. I am now 18 and living alone in my mom and dad's house. I continue my father's business. I became a cobbler. Life was not easy, you have to make money in order to live. Time is money. But, still this is better. Hearing those kids laughing, also makes me happy remembering of good memories.
Like l did when l am a kid, they are having fun and do what they want with the care of their parents. It reminded me of dad and mom. But these kids' happiness wont last long. I am on my dad's work place when something unexpected happen. I go out when I heard screaming. A very scary!!! I dont know what to do. The only word that came to my mind "RUN". This creatures showed up, the laughing of the children got turn into hatred, sorrow and fear. Fear!!! The most powerful power that this monsters have. An unbearable creatures that want violence. A very terrifying creature who would kill anyone for their lust. This is something that exceeds the imagination of a human being. A wolf like face and bodies like a masculine man. At first we cannot believe what we saw, because there are no news from other village that there is something like this. Maybe we are the first village that had been attacked first. But that does'nt matter because these guys, even we know, what happened now will still happen. The villagers started to run but as they run fast, these monsters also run very fast as they chased the villagers, like a lion chasing its prey. And when the soldier saw it, they cannot fight. It is like they are conquered by fear. Their bodies are frozen. They have no guts to fight. Their will power have overcome by this creatures. But when they saw what the monster done to the villagers. Blood flows from the body of the villagers. Many dead bodies are surrounding them. Body parts lying on the ground. The frightened they feel that freeze them from moving. These feelings had dissapered instead it transform into powerful tool to fight "hatred and anger". Their frozen body was burn with anger. Now they have the courage to fight back. They fired their rifle to these monsters. The bullet pierced through the skin of this monsters. Blood flows from them. Its no use!!! Even bullet pierced through their skin, they still can move like the bullets has nothing to do with them. These monsters filled with anger. They charge the soldiers ripping their bodies to pieces.
Only i can do is to run very fast while still i can. Only now i can remember is the frightening face of the children and parents watching their relatives to die rip into pieces.
I run to forest. Where dad and mom found me. I think that it is a miracle that i survive. However, i am not happy that i live knowing that most people i have known died while me, the only one survivor run into nowhere. I shout in disperse without thinking. What i did is very stupid. Something heard me shout.
The monster appeared in the forest.
The monster run towards me and stop in front of me staring at me with terifying glare. I dont know what to do. My body are shaking. My brain tells my body to move but i cant. I just froze there staring at the creatures big masculine body. The creature laugh at me as he saw me shaking with fear. This world is not fair. I realize something. That weak people only died and stronger lives. Like these creatures did to us. They killed the people weaker than them. If only i have power to kill these bastrads i will surely kill them. But i cant, i am just a normal human what job is fixing shoes. I cant even protect myself or itger people. It is clear to me that i will die by the hands of these monster. Suddenly the monster hit me with his fist in my stomach knocking me away until i hit a tree. I groan for pain. I wanted to shout for help, however i know that no one will help. No one can kill these monster. I look up it is in front of me again. What will it do, is it going to kill me now. Now one thing only came my mind "death". Now it hit my face so hard this time it is stronger than the first one hit me. It feels like my jaw are going to break. He's not satisfied yet, he kick me very hard that i cannot breath and knocking me again hitting to other tree. What he do is bullying me. He knows that i cant fight so he's playing me like a punching bag. I know that if it takes longer my body cannot withstand i will die immediately if he hits me again. Now i closed my eyes knowing that i may die. The monster laugh very loud. The monster raised its arm ready to hit me again. I feel the wind pressure of the punch that will hit me. But it suddenly stopped. Why did he stop. Is he going to spare me? No these monster has no feelings so it wont spare me. Then i heard growling with pain. The growl is very loud that it is in exremely pain. When i open my eyes i saw before me a swordsman wielding a sword. No it is like a katana. I cant tell but it is really pure white that shine very brightly as sun hitting its blade. A very big hand that is masculine is lying besides the swordsman. I saw to my left side meter's away from me. The monster is growling with pain staring on the swordsman, while he covers the cut right arm with his left arm. The word death that came to my mind earlier has change to word hope. The creature run and try to assault the swordsman but suddenly before it reaches the swordsman, the head of the monster is gone. I didnt see the swordsman slash its head. Maybe it is very fast that i cant follow him of slahing the head of that monster. Thats impossible there is no human that would be that fast even how strong you are your body has limit. But this swordsman is not like a human. What is he. The monster body fell to the ground lying dead. Its cut head fell to the ground staring at me with terifying look. The swordsman turn around to face me and stared at me. He come forward to me. But as he walk to me i felt dizziness and fell to sleep thinking nothing. I felt relieved, that there is stronger than that terifying monster and i have been saved by stranger, also i forgot what happened to the villagers.
At night...
I opened my eyes very slowly. My head hurts, I dont know why. What happened where i am...Why i am in the forest? It is like where mom and dad found me lying in the forest. Argh!!! My stomach hurts so much. Am i hungry or what. Did i eat something. It hurts so much. My body cant move. My brain tells my body to stand but i cant. What happened. Suddenly i realized, i remember what happened to my village, it had been attacked by monsters and also i was facing that wolf like face and someone kill it. Ahh! I must come back. I need to get up. My will power make me to move and stand.
"DONT MOVE, YOU NEED TO REST. YOU GOT BEAT UP. YOU DONT NEED TO PUSH YOURSELF. LAY DOWN" Said by the swordsman sitting on my left meter away from me, under the tree. His sword resting at his side. Ready to fight anytime.
We stared eye to eye his clothes are unique i havent seen anything like that.
"Who are you? That's right the village. You need to help my village. Please i beg you." I said to him with low tone. With desperation on my face.
"Like i said dont push yourself. Sleep more you need to rest, tommorow were going to your viillage but for now stay still. Rest." He said.
"But they are all danger." I answered
"Of course i know. Dont think that i dont know but for the best right now is to take a rest. Tommorow i promise were going to your village. SO REST FOR NOW!!!" With calm voice but terifying look.
When he say that my body shakes. I felt fear when he say that. So i lie down as he said and sleep.
