Finally finished cooking and eating breakfast while she was at it, Kona returned to her room and went directly to her computer.
"Ughh! Finally no more distractions. Now let's see" Kona said as she opened her game.
"Stellar-Race Delux '' A long running Massive Multiplayer Online 4x Grand Strategy Game, set in space. Players pick a race to rule of their choosing, type of government they want and act as a dictator or representative of a democratic civilization and many more. They are given the power that came along with their choices and try to survive in the vast universe using economic power, military might and diplomatic relationships, or specialize. The fate of the players is in the players hand.
The game wasn't too popular as it was slightly complicated, though players can choose to automate some parts of the game to lift some burden. Though it isn't a great idea to automate all.
Kona hummed while checking her notification tab.
"Let's see… Alliance was provoked, nothing new… New technological breakthrough, oh that's nice… Ally Requesting for help, it's his fault for provoking the enemy, not gonna bother that… lets see some more..."
She played the game from 7am to 7pm. 12 hours non-stop! This was her daily routine as she dropped out of school sometime ago.
*Brrrggg…* the sound of a hungry stomach seemingly "woken" up Kona whose face was glued to the screen
"oof! Im hungry" it was a mystery how she only felt it near dinner time as she forgot to eat lunch.
'Let's check what's in the fridge' she thought to herself and proceeds to exit her room headed towards
the kitchen leaving her pc open.
Walking down the stairs she noticed that the lights were off.
"Guess those two aren't home yet" she whispered to herself.
She continued to go towards the kitchen and finally arrived at the fridge.
"Hope there's some leftover carbonara from last night" She said as she drooled a little bit.
*(A type of pasta dish)*
She opened the fridge's door and was shocked at what was inside. Her fingers shooked, beads of sweat runned through her forehead, she tried to scream but couldn't!
Then she spoke in a terrified manner "I~it~it's~e~empty"
Over reacting as she may be not eating lunch and the approaching dinner would terrify anyone though not as much as Kona do though, well maybe some people do if they're too lazy enough to skip an important meal.
She closed the fridge's door and found a sticky note on the fridge's door.

Lo siento, miha, mamá se olvidó de hacer las compras ayer y estoy demasiado ocupado hoy, ve a comprar comida y haz las compras mientras estás en eso si tienes hambre, hay algo de dinero dentro del cajón cerca de la televisión.
Amo a Mama💕

*(I'm going to use my rough spanish(google translator lmao) for this story so if there's anything wrong please do tell me.
I'm sorry miha, mom forgot to do the groceries yesterday and I'm too busy today, go buy food and do the groceries while you're at it if you're hungry, there's some money inside the drawer near the TV.
love Mama💕*
"..." Kona was filled with emotions such as embarrassment and happiness while and after she read the note clearly written with love from a mother to a daughter.
She didn't say nor even grumble anything after that, she just took the money in the drawer and put on a yellow jacket a bit too big for her and she went outside.
The noises of cars, the neon lights of the city and other stuff give the urban mood a prosperous and busy feel.
Kona was heading to the nearest 24 hour store for something to eat first as she was starving.
Passing some signs, cars and stuff she finally made it to the store and went in, bought some instant noodles and prepared to eat it inside.
Opening the pack of seasoning and adding the hot water and mixing it up, she waited.l for it to cook a bit. Of course she looked like a starved dog as she waited, no more like an addict who hasn't had any drugs.
As she waited she heard noises outside the glass of the store.
'what the hell was that?' she thought to herself.
Then a man who was wearing a ragged jack went inside the store.
'He looks like a mugger she thought' and opened her almost cooked noodles while the man walked past her and talked to the cashier of the store.
As she was about to put the noodle wrapped chopsticks into her pink lips she heard the noise again.
But it was closer… more loud… she almost spilled the noodles as her hand trembled… she hasn't grasped the situation yet but her body knows that she is in danger. The fight or flight human reaction kicked in, she turned around to look at the noise as she still hadn't grasped the situation that happened.
Red… the wall behind the cashier was red… Kona knew what happened but still didnt move… she didn't know how to react. A few seconds ago her only thoughts were to eat but now, her mind was in shambles as she knew what happened.
Blood drained from her already pale skin. She wanted to shout for help but her voice was trapped, she was shaking even more as she forgot her hunger.
The man she was looking at looked troubled, no panicked! He was mumbling something as he looked around, then he saw Kona.
Kona looked into the panicked man's eyes with total fear. And the man looked into her with the same emotion.
The man raised his right hand and aimed at her…
Kona saw two barrels aimed at her, one was smoking while the other one was not. She looked at the man who was mumbling something.
"...i...sss..Ffuuu...k!"
Then…
