Chapter 6 - An ally or a burden?

Greg woke up after 2 hours sleeping on the chair.

As soon as Greg opened his eyes, a fist heading over him can be seen.

luckily for Greg, that was just a slow punch.

Greg quickly ducked and then sweeps the leg of the attacker.

The attacker fell down, and shouted.

"Ow!"

Greg took a closer look of the attacker and what it seems to be the boy he 'saved' earlier.

"You must have balls to attack someone in their sleep, huh? especially your savior" Greg then stood up, points his enhanced knife at the boy.

"I kn-know what you're planning! you're planning to eat me didn't you?!" the boy nervously shouted at Greg as he is slowly backing away.

"If I were a cannibal, why would I dumped those two men from earlier?" Greg said it in a bit of an angry tone.

"Oh y-yeah, you do have a point." The boy's shaking stopped

"So, why are you here?" Greg gets closer to the boy and crouched to his level.

"I was running away from those men.." the boy looked down due to how intimidating Greg was with his knife.

"Are there any more men other than those two?" Greg slowly and slowly, pointing his knife on the boy's feet.

"N-no, not that I have heard of.." the boy is dripping sweat.

"Not that you have heard of?" Greg asked in a low voice.

"Ye-yes.." the boy whispered his answer.

"I see, take a rest for today. I'll do something around here." Greg quickly stood up and went towards the kitchen to open up the fridge and get food.

"Here you go, sandwiches. Catch." Greg aggressively threw the sandwich wrapped in plastic to the boy.

"Pff!"

the sandwich went to the boy's face as it slowly slides down and left a mark.

"O-ouch.." the boy wiped his face with his handkerchief.

10 minutes later

the two ate their meal quietly until Greg walked towards the boy.

"Boy, do you wanna survive?" Greg crouched again to the boy who is on his knees.

"B-boy? you don't look old at all.. how old are you mister?" the boy looking curious.

"19, how about you?" a cold response from Greg.

"you're not that much older! I'm 16--" the boy's mouth got covered by Greg's towel.

"you need to shut your trap around here or else we'll die." Greg gripped the towel tightly.

the boy nodded.

"Okay, I'll go outside and do my daily routine."

Greg stood up and walks outside with his knife.

"What a strange man.." said the boy in his head.

the boy stood up as well and slowly followed Greg.

Greg stopped as he heard a single footstep from the boy.

"dare to follow me if you know how to outrun monsters around here."

"I-Ill follow you! I wanna see how well you can do around monsters" the boy looked determined to follow Greg.

"Well aren't you a weird one." Greg walks again as he said that.

"Says the guy who killed those two men with no remorse." The boy whispered that statement.

Greg chuckled when he heard the statement of the boy.

"I rather kill than to be killed, boy. don't compare me to those heroes that you think of in fairy tales."

The boy looked frightened.

"How did he heard that? we were like 6 feet away and I said that very low.." the boy said in his mind.

a couple of zombies and skeletons are seen on the way.

"Ain't that nice, four zombies and two skeletons" Greg stopped and stared on the monsters.

"G-go back! that's too much!" the boy exclaimed

Greg ignored the heed of the boy and dashed towards the monsters.

"I'm over here!" Greg shouted even though the mobs are quite near him.

the monsters rushed towards Greg,

"That's it! come here!" Greg calling the monsters as if they were a dog.

the boy was terrified, but not of the monsters but what was gonna happen next.

the monsters are clumped to each other to the point they were like they were stitched together. Greg managed to clump them together by running in circles as the mobs were trying to jump towards him.

"Left swing!" Greg shouted as his left hand brightens,

In a second the monsters' bodies were sliced as if they were butter.

or so that's what Greg expect to happen but the skeletons remained standing.

"Damn, I only managed to take their arm!"

Greg stepped back as the skeletons rushed towards him.

"Careful!" the boy shouted.

"No need to tell me!" Greg stepped back once again and dashed through the skeletons as he took out their knees.

The skeletons fell down and crawled towards Greg desperately.

Greg kicked the skeletons' head off with a right kick,

the heads of the skeletons bounced off.

"And voila, easy." Greg panted heavily.

The boy ran towards Greg.

"Are you alright, Mister?" asked the boy.

"Yes, I am indeed okay. Let's go back." Greg stood up as he is panting, then walks back to his house.

"That was awesome, mister! I thought you were strong but not that strong!" The boy looked towards Greg as if he met his idol.

"That was nothing. it took a lot of my stamina so I'll head to bed right now, I'll trust you so watch the house for me.

" o-okay!" the boy saluted.

as soon as Greg went upstairs, the boy smirked and took out a knife he got from Greg's kitchen.
