Chapter 7 - Chapter 7:

Ziz and Garudo followed the trail of the ex-boyfriend to an alley, the man had no escape. When he turned around, Ziz and Garudo saw that it was the fat man in a suit that they had beaten up.

"You don't learn, do you?" Garudo exclaimed as they approached hostilely.

The boys threw the man to the ground and began kicking him while pressing him against a wall so that he couldn't move when they kicked him.

"What are you doing!? Stop!" A girl yelled, placing her hand on Ziz's shoulder.

The boy instinctively turned and punched her, knocking her to the ground; It was a girl dressed in a white robe with golden edges decorating it. She wore an amulet with a strange symbol around her neck, the boys stopped beating the man when they realized what happened.

"Wow! You spanked a nun," Garudo exclaimed, laughing at Ziz.

"It was an accident," Ziz justified as he searched the nun's pockets, the boy took out a bag of money and put it away.

"Are you sure it was an accident? It doesn't seem like it's stopping you from stealing from her," Garudo asked, doubting the veracity of his companion's words.

"She is alive?" He wondered aloud, omitting his partner's question of doubt and touching the nun's neck to check it. "Fuck! She has no pulse!"

"Shit, shit, shit, now for sure we're going to jail," Garudo exclaimed, concerned for his safety.

"I'm not going back to jail! There has to be a way around it," Ziz exclaimed, flustered.

"You've never been to jail!"

"Yes, I've been, when I was little I got lost doing my ID Card!" The boy explained still nervous.

"That's not the jail, it's the cell!"

"I do not care!" He yelled before calming down and getting thoughtful. "How seriously is religion taken here?"

"Is the bag heavy?" Garudo asked to have a reference to answer with.

"Yes, very heavy," Ziz replied, making the bag jump in her hand.

"So much then."

"Shit they're going to hang us for this."

"I already have a plan! Let's get rid of the corpses," Garudo suggested to get out of the predicament they were in.

"How?" He asked, doubting the idea his partner had come up with.

"We will bury them in the forest."

"Okay! How do we carry the fat man?" He asked, failing Garudo's plan.

"We'll bury her in the forest," Garudo corrected.

Ziz took the nun into the forest while Garudo went to buy a shovel with the money stolen from her. When he found the place where Ziz had taken the nun it had already gotten dark and it started to rain again.

"Great, what we lacked, now a lightning storm will start, right?" Ziz thought aloud.

[Thunder]

"Perfect," Garudo exclaimed. "Start digging."

"Why me?" He asked indignantly.

"Well ... You're the one who killed her," he answered, taking the issue out of steam.

Ziz began to dig, halfway through the job he handed the shovel to Garudo for him to continue.

"Aargh."

"What was that !?" Garudo asked a bit scared.

"Holy shit, a zombie!" Ziz yelled when he saw the nun get up.

Ziz snatched the shovel from Garudo's hands and began hitting it with the back of it.

"Learn to die, you son of a bitch!" Ziz yelled as he beat her relentlessly.

"Hit her with the shovel! To the jugular! To the jugular!" Garudo yelled, overexcited.

The nun grabbed the shovel stopping Ziz from making more blows; When Garudo saw it, he ran over and hit her with the sole of his foot in the mouth.

"Please stop!" Cried the nun.

"Damn, the zombie talks!" Garudo exclaimed.

Frightened, Garudo continued to kick the nun in the face to make her drop the shovel.

"Drop the shovel, fuck!"

"Stop! Stop! I'm not a zombie!" She screamed, sobbing in pain.

Garudo stopped and the nun dropped the shovel.

"Ziz hit her now!"

The boys began to beat the nun's legs, while she screamed again in pain.

"St-stop!"

"I'm sorry, but if we stop you're going to report us to the police for sure," Garudo clarified.

"Fuck, the nun is indestructible!" Ziz yelled in a shaky voice.

"Why don't she die!?"

"It's the giant one, she keeps healing the others!"

Exhausted, the boys stopped and the nun took the opportunity to try to get them to reconsider.

"Please ... please stop, that hurts."

"What the hell is this nun made of?" Garudo whispered to Ziz.

"I don't know, but we should listen to her, maybe she'll explain it to us," the boy suggested.

"Okay, we'll stop beating you," Garudo reported.

"Why were you hitting that man?" The nun asked, completely passing over what had just happened.

"He stole from us," Ziz replied.

"That's not reason enough to do that, you almost killed him."

"Actually..."

Ziz interrupted Garudo with an elbow on his arm.

"We didn't think about it very well," the boy continued, making the nun think he was going to say that.

"It doesn't matter, I know it was all an accident and you didn't do it out of evil, so I forgive you," she said, getting up. "Where we are?" she asked, looking around to find her way back.

"I don't know," Garudo replied.

"In the forest," Ziz replied.

"What do you mean in the forest? In what forest?" Asked the frightened nun.

"The one next to the city," the boy replied again without giving details.

"There are five forests next to the city."

"Well, the one on the right side of the city."

"Did you take me to the forest of the lost? Are you assholes!?" The nun asked, upset.

"Watch that tongue, a nun shouldn't say such things," Ziz said.

"Screw being a nun! Because of you, I'll never get out of here."

"Why?" Garudo asked.

"Let's see, asshole, it's not called the forest of the lost because it's easy to find the way out."

"Just go back the way we came," Garudo suggested.

"It's no use, the forest won't let you go out, it's as if we're dead and it's all your fucking fault," the nun explained.

"Fuck, Ziz. How could you choose the worst forest of all?"

"Well, we wanted to hide a corpse and my luck has led me to a place where it would never be found," the boy replied, trying to make it look like it wasn't a mistake on his part.

"Great. How do we get out of here?" Garudo asked.

"It's easy, we just have to walk in circles for a bit," Ziz explained.

"Walking in circles?" Garudo asked back.

"Of course, surely the forest makes you walk in circles when you look for the exit, if we walk in circles it will end up making us walk straight, we just have to discover the size of the circle." He answers, completely believing what he was saying.

[New Mission: Get out of the forest]

Ziz began to walk in circles while Garudo and the nun separated from him to look for the exit on their own, the three of them were walking for hours until Garudo and the nun gave up and sat in front of the hole that the boys had dug, to await his death.

"I had planned to do great things," the nun exclaimed.

"Is that why you became a nun?"

"Yes, but now I'm going to die so it doesn't matter. I've never even kissed anyone."

"Me neither."

They both looked at each other and thought the same thing, then they started to get closer so that their lips would meet, however, before it happened, Ziz appeared.

"I've found our way out," Ziz said, interrupting them and making the nun stand up when she heard him. "Did I interrupt something?"

"No. Where is the exit?" Asked the cheerful nun.

"Over there," he replied, pointing to the right.

The nun followed the indicated path and Garudo stood next to Ziz.

"What's wrong?" He asked when he saw that his partner was angry.

"I fucking despise you, you son of a bitch," he answered, following the same path as the nun.

The three advanced to a tree with an X, then Ziz asked them to stop and turn around, Garudo and the nun listened to him and continued on their way shortly after they reached the exit.

"What? It's true, we're out!" Exclaimed the happy nun. "Forgive me my lord for the things that happened inside the forest, I was not myself and I was desperate."

"I hope you don't say anything to the guard," Ziz said, touching her shoulder.

"Don't worry, thanks to you I didn't die in that forest," the euphoric nun replied.

"He is also why you were in that forest," Garudo added angrily.

"Shut up Garudo," Ziz ordered.

"Well, I have to go, come visit me sometime if you need help, I live in a temple in the centre of the city," She said, after leaving and letting the boys thinking.

"Why does she appreciate you more?" Garudo asked.

"Because I saved her from the forest," Ziz explained.

"Because you wanted to bury her there."

"Because you punched her."

"That was you!" Garudo corrected.

"Garudo, Garudo, Non mires atrás, o pasado pasou queda moito por andar" Ziz exclaimed, trying to calm him down.

"What do we do now?" He asked after taking a breath.

"Well, you can choose, we go with the girl who has lost her boyfriend or we go back to the forest to get the shovel."

"Let's do both, we don't have enough money to go around throwing away the things we buy," Garudo replied.
