The bug is the size of a half adult man, it has a sharp-looking pincer that has half the overall size of its body, it will not be an understatement if it was just about a knee.
It has Six limbs and it was trying to stop but can't because it was in mid-air.
It was color white, and more like a beetle than a bug. It also has a big ass wing, but it was likely to be just decorations because it was not using it.
I wonder how I will kill this thing.
" D-Daddy?!!"
"Honey, can you help a little here"
"W-what can I help you with? N-no, your bleeding soo badly"
He then saw his daughter's horror face as she was staring at his lower body while covering her mouth.
"Okay, first, quickly grab the gun on the lifeboat. Bring it here, honey"
"Okay, but can you stop calling her honey?!" He then saw Emily comes forward with doubt in her eyes, at the same time she was scared. I can see the shaken legs on her.
Even though it was offensive because he was really her father, Nonetheless it was true that considering he was not the same as yesterday. Anyone will question him due to this.
He just sighs and hurries them up.
"I can only endure this for 5 minutes, please hurry up."
His hands were still on the pincer, holding it for his dear life. Right now he was kneeling on the sand while looking at the back of the two girls.
His tears were still streaming down, but not as bad as earlier.
He keeps holding the bug impale on his stomach because it will prolong his death and at the same time imprison it for some time.
Oh, Dear. Maybe I'll come sooner than I expected.
Right now his eyes were starting to blurry and he was feeling the numbness in his body.
I wonder where they were now.
Helbert faces the direction the two girl goes, and sigh. Even though they were still far at least they were coming.
The one thing that he feared the most if they don't come, and that will be bullshit If that really happens.
Well, he can't blame them. No one is very righteous to come back to a place that can danger them.
And even more so, when they don't know who the person they had to come back with.
Just hold on tight, I can still do it.
Right now, his only way to not close his eyes is by biting his lips.
But true to be told, it was just slight use in his situation. He can feel the strength is leaving his body right now. He can feel the bug able to wiggle a little.
And every time it wiggles wakes him up in pain.
Maybe right now, I am as pale as a white man.
Joke aside...
His breath was long and deep like someone who is just grabbing the end of his rope right now.
"Why took you long?"
With his blurry eyes, he rise his head weakly in the direction of steps that he can hear.
"Who might you be, I am grateful for what you have done. But how do you know that we have guns on the boat... But whatever, how do I use this"
In her hand was a bag full of things inside.
Luckily, they were two of them if not. Bringing that bag will take longer than necessary.
"Okey, listen grab a handgun in there, Cough! I'll make it short. After you grab that aim this damn bug on my body"
Saying too much is very taxing, he can feel the blood surging up to his mouth.
Right now he was literally blind. Any Color that there is was pure black, he can not see a damn thing anymore.
But he can't still let it go, he was unwilling to go but it was useless. At least before he goes, he can save his daughter and at the same time leave like a hero.
Their supply can provide them for months, and I saw that this island is large, and it has vegetation, so even if they run out of supplies they can still grab some from the plants here.
And I trust these girls, they are smart than me.
And that made me thankful.
Even though his sight was gone, his strength was still on him.
Well, it is strange. The reaper was about to come but the clarity of my mind was still there, maybe this is my will that made me like this.
Even the pain that torture me was slowly cooling, Yet it was soo cold.
" Wait? Why is it not firing? "
Like someone who is still okay, he turns his head in that sound direction.
"Turn on the safety dumb-a-s-#"
Shit, my consciousness is flickering.
" Okay, here I go"
bang~
That sound was like the drum of heaven, he felt the strength of his body relax and he can't help but slowly lie down.
The corpse of the bug was slowly leaving his body with the hole on its head, nonetheless, Helbert can't feel anything right now.
" Jenneva, me and your mom... Will.. always... with..yuu~" He said with a whisper, but it still was loud enough to be heard by the two girls. The one is doubtful while the other just froze in her place.
Just before he lost consciousness, he don't want to leave without leaving any messages to his daughter.
He first thought to lie to his daughter that her father was away for days and he will come back as they were likely to believe that than saying that I am the father of the girl but at will be very sad to do.
Giving her the expectation that he can't afford to grant was the evilest thing a father can do.
So he just said what his heart want to say.
"Hey, quick the meds!"
Just before Emily turn her head she saw her bestie hop beside the guy body.
In her hand was a gun with a syringe as its ammo. Its mouth was a needle, while the needle was big and scary, but it was girly at the same time. It was because it was colored pink, its whole body was pink. That even though it was menacing and cool, all it takes to throw it all away is its color pink.
Back to the scene, Emily saw her bestie breathing heavily.
She was fondling the gun, like someone who wants to use it but doesn't know where to begin.
Her face was burning red, and horror was in her eyes. She seems can't focus and her body was shaking.
"P-pl-please Emily help me, Pl-please"
Her shaking voice woke Emily from her stupor and grab the gun from Jenneva's hand.
The gun was expensive and more so when they only had five of these guns because they only see five of them on board. The Effect of the gun was to prolong the death of a heavily injured person and at the same time actively help the regeneration of the body, meaning it was something needed the most.
But right now, Emily didn't hesitate to help that guy using the gun. Even though she don't know why he did that and what his motives were, she decided to move it aside and help this man.
She aims the needle at his heart and punctures it, she then pushes the trigger.
On the top portion of the gun, she saw the fluid that is slowly draining. Meaning it was doing its job.
" Okay, let's us wait, even if this guy was about to die. He will be like taking a steroid after we give him the healing gun. But right now can you tell me about him Jenneva? it seems that you know him."
Emily look on her front where her bestie was sitting, she was hugging her knees while looking at the guy's face.
She was like a person who was about to lose everything.
Her eyes were devoid of emotion like she was broken inside and that scared Emily for a sec and just wait.
Even though it pains her to look at her bestie's face like that, she knows that she can't do anything right now. She even doesn't know who this guy is or where their uncle goes or if they can survive here alone.
Her head was full of stuff but she just push it aside, nothing is more important than her bestie right now.
" I remember something when my grandma was still alive, she was always showing me a young man picture. I was still young, very young at that time, all my memory that time was blurry but I remember that young man was my father"
" Where is the connection between this guy and your father?"
"I remember in the picture, my father was very thin when he was young, he was also kinda nerdy. My grandma always... telling me.. that my father... was.. like... a sissy"
In the midst of her storytelling, she can't help but cry. Her tears were like rain, flowing down her face. Her cries were akin to a scream like she was venting.
She was crying while lying on the sand. Her face was facing the sky.
That scene was just like a girl who has her world broken apart.
Emily just looks at her bestie with heartache.
Now she knows who this guy is.
