It's a storming night outside, the city fire is starting to go away, the victims are screaming while us killer are doing what are we good at. By victims, I mean resistances, survivors civilians, and other killers, yes we kill each other too sometimes.
One night, while I was about to call it a day and go home from killing some idiots that were near my territory, I heard a faint crying in the alleyway. It's was weak, but I walk over there to check who's cries it belong too. The cries goes louder and louder as I approach it near the cardboard box behind of all the trash and a dead corpse. When I take a closer look, I saw a little child, look like a 5 year old kid, sitting on the ground crying under the rain. By the look of the corps, it seem that it was one of their parent. When I look back, the child look at me with fear in their eyes, I may kill them now, I want to do it, but I can't. The reason why I can't it's because I... Love cute thing... Yes, seem I'm a damn weirdo that love cute shit but COME ON! It's my life! I can't leave them there while there other killers roaming around my area.
I extend my hand on front of the child and said with a kind voice as possible.
"Don't be afraid, little one, I won't hurt you. I'm here to help you, to bring you somewhere safe. Please trust my word. I'll keep you safe, like your parent just did to you."
The child was hesitance at first and look around. Seem pretty normal to not trust a man with a mask that has blood tears on it.
The child grabbed my hand and I feel relief. I finally got trust of a child. As the child goes out of their hiding spot, I have soon realize that it was a female feline.
{She's a beastman...}
Beastman are people that are part human, part animals. They have high strengths and speed then a regular humans. Normal humans hate them just because of their supreme stats on physical and speed. Some of them just go and kill them, other would capture them. There's rarely people that help them to stay safe, but some of them got kill after soon discover.
Beside that, this beast man is still a child. I can't turn a blind eye on this.
"What's your name, little one?"
She doesn't speak, still scare I suppose. So I started to search in the bag of the corpse, luckily, that person still have his wallets with them. After sometime of searching for her identity card, I finally found her health card in the bottom pocket of the wallet. I kept her health card by putting in my pocket for something in the future.
"Come on Yui, Let's go somewhere safe." as I pick her up and bring her somewhere 'Safe'.
She look at me with tears in her eyes, She was shock when hearing her name.
After sometime walking, we have arrive to my base, the base is an old apartment that's been rundown for some times, around 5 years to be honest. As we enter the old apartment, I though that it would be a peaceful time when I was finish working.
"Welcome back Boss, How wa- Is that a child!?" a shocking echo voice would be heard in the room.
But boy I was wrong. The person that talk in an echo voice ran out from the shadow, rush at me and look at the child with excitement. The person that talk in an echo voice is my brother, he's call Night Crow. He wear a dark cloths, wear a the hoodie on and wear a plague doctor mask.
"What's her name? How old is she? Is she okay? Where did you find her? W-"
"PLEASE CALM DOWN! I'll explain to you everything." I said.
As I put Yui down, I start to introduce her to my brother. "Yui, this is my brother, Night Crow, but you may call him Jam if you feel like it. And brother, this is Yui Nami, a survivor of an attack of the killer in our territory. So please be nice to her."
"Oh! Really? Is that true little Yui?" he asked Yui.
Yui nodded shyly to Jam. She look around, do think that she's scare. I tell Jam to bring her in the living room for her to feel like home. As he bring her to the living room, I walk to the kitchen and would start to make food. Jam isn't a bad person, or a killer like me. In fact, he was a civilian before, living a normal life, having fun with his family, but that all end when the chaos struck the nail. The house was caught on fire, the killers has attack our parents, and he got hit in the head with a pipe. I save him from this incident and bring him here where we are living right now. Jam has change after that day, he doesn't feel sadness, anger, anxious, or any of the negative emotions. He was just... Hollow... Nothing but joy and happiness in him. beside the pass, he's an expert sharpshooter when it's about with guns. He's amazing with disguise and infiltration when needed.
While I was heating up the cans foods, I could hear Jam and Yui start to enjoy listening the music box that I kept it for a long times. When I finish heating up, put it in some bowls, walk toward them to serve it, Jam took the bowl, lift his mask a little and eat. I put my bowl down and would start to feed Yui. She was hesitant at first, but after a small stomach growl, she started to eat. Being feed by a stranger is really a horrifying experience, especially when it's a killer. She fell fast asleep after eating her bowl. Jam and I have set up a small bed for her and tug her in. We went to the kitchen after leaving the room and drink some water.
"So brother, what plan do you have now? You have an extra pair of mouth to feed" said Jam while giggling.
"I plan on protecting her until the time is right. Just wait patiently and see what I have plan." I said tapping on the counter.
"Until what time? To end? Or something else... Is it about the Sp-"
"Don't. Speak. About. Them." I yell, slamming my hand on the counter.
"And about the time, it will depend how much time we have left before 'They' find us. Watch over her for the time being, I'm going out for some supplies run." I said, putting my mask back on and walk out.
As I walk away from my hideout and arrive in a dark alleyways, I stop in the middle of the alleyway, pull out my machete and make a deep sigh. Some peoples wearing like a bikers gang from a Westland come out from their hiding spot with weapons in their hands. I count five of them on front of me and behind me, so ten in totals.
"Hey Buddy, today isn't your lucky day, give us everything you have on you!" said the big one that is wearing a skull bandana mask.
"So annoying..." I sigh and look at them with annoyance.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" he yell with anger and hold his weapons tightly.
"KILL HIM!"
I spin my machete around as the men's charging at me. The weapon of the blade turn dark and small shadow aura start to come out from it. As I hold it, I started to giggle and feel excited.
{Here we go again}
