Chapter 2 - Raw Scent

(Confirm Landing?)

Such useless question asked by his staff suddenly appear which made him frown.

'What kind of question is that? Of course we will land!' He thought before giving his answer.

Only if he was smart enough to give these inhuman servants of his some bit of common sense, surely it will be easier for him.

A smooth landing occur and he hastenly went outside as soon as the mouth of the spacecraft open.

He began to sniff the fresh air which he haven't felt since time immemorial. Fortunately, he did his vaccine to fight the virus that results the global famine.

After a while of exploiting the air around him, the robots finish preparing his needs and constructing a camp worthy of his style.

A metallic large box. A simple yet futuristic style that is unusual in these kind of era.

He then went inside and prepare for his rest once more. And just like that, the first night in this world ended.

-----

'They left?' She thought after hearing no more steps.

Since yesterday, Emma had a growing anxiety of being captured by the invaders. His father told them that once they got caught, only death awaits them. And surely, it will be painful.

Due to this warning, it triggers a certain feeling inside her. An unknown feeling that she never felt before. Extreme fear.

*sob*

Her little brother suddenly starts crying with his hands covering his mouth in order to not cause any sound. She look at him and find his eyes swollen, it made her felt sympathetic as his brother had to experience such thing at a young age.

It even made her feel proud considering that as a young child, he was able to restrain himself.

She didn't hesitate and hug her brother to comfort her as the invaders starts to live the village after packing their pillaged stuff.

Minutes later, silence grew in their village. A lifeless silence that is rare within this area.

Emma doesn't know what time it is since the bell never rang, but seeing the light from outside, she can guess that it's around before noon.

Checking the area once again, Emma peek at the small hole in front of her face. Seeing there's no people around, she knock the wooded wall resulting a loud bang.

But since the invaders have left the area, she felt relieved. She immediately went outside and guide her brother and sniff a good fresh air only to smell an raw scent.

A smell of blood perhaps.

This made her sad thinking the event that transpired before this.

After leaving the room, she once again check the other room, the living room if her mother is still there. Though not expecting, she knelt in front of a messy corpse as she cries outloud.

This cause her brother to run towards her only to find her mother's body lifelessly settled without any clothes on.

He sob, but he didn't cry like his sister. He was taught to act strong because he's a man. And surely it brought result to a strain emotion.

They mourn, not minding the time, until their last drop of tears. Hunger was then felt as their stomach both made growling sound.

*knock*knock*

As soon as the knock was heard, both of them look at the source of it.

Emma immediately pull her brother and hold his mouth in order not to cause any sound as they retreated back to the room where they came from.

However, before they could even move, a voice of man was suddenly heard.

"Anybody home???!!"

A loud shout echoed throughout the lifeless village. Such voice would be considered as rude if people are still alive in this place.

Both of them suddenly felt a change of feeling. From hunger to terrify, they don't know if they should move or not.

*bang!*

Before even starting to decide, a loud bang resound and the doors smashes towards the other side of the room.

The two look at the broken door with terrified dark face and slowly turn their focus at the two figure where the door was supposed to be.

"You must be Emma. Hello, I'm Wilhelm!"

And just like that, Emma faint.

The only thing she heard before she lost her consciousness are the words of her terrified brother.

"Em, Em, don't leave me!!"
