Chapter 7 - why...

Za

Yes

Zaza opens in eyes and sees his brother Ra

Looking at him

Ra he calles out with his now weak and husky voice

What is it Ra says back

Were were are we Zaza questions

one moment he was running and slipped hitting his face and the other he is laying down on a blanked

"Don't worry" Ra reasuers "were safe" his words linger and he addes after that" for now"

Were are we Ra Zaza still not understanding wants to know what is really happening and why are they 'safe' for 'now'

Sigh Ra sighs and shakes his head "after your fall we tired to retrieve you from the floor but the building collapsed and we lay buried under concrete but luckily for us after a few hours i think we were found and rescued but"he says in a sad voice we became prisoners and will be used as bait.

Processing what he was saying Zaza after a wiel asks "for what"

Ra says "for the goat "

What goat ?? Zaza confused by why are they bait for a goat a grass eating animal not a meat loving predator

The one in that was following us " hearing him Ra clerafyes

It was following us !!!? T-that that thing

Yes, but it was looking for Joes specifically,so he died" not done with the surprises Ra drops another bombshell like declaring today is Monday

He died" just waking up finding out that a literal demon ,silently was behind them all this time , and a friend's death by said demon Zaza did not know how to process all of this showing news

Zaza feeling sad for the death of Joes although they have less than a day of knowing each other their short interactions made it seem like they were friends of many years

Hey Ra

Yes dear brother Za

Looking Ra's smiling face Za asked s question

How can you be so calm and not anxious or saddened at all ??!!

Well "Ra said

Once you accept something there is nothing to worry about

Why not struggle

I will" looking somewhere he says" when needed

Ahhh also I ask myself can you do something about the problem if yes why worry if no why worry it calmed me really quickly

Ahhh Ok "Zaza noded "ha let's sleep we need to rest "

Ok Ra goes somewhere and takes a blanket as well

Laying it on the ground He hugs Zaza and says "good night

Also hugging him Zaza says "good night too you two

And they stayed there motionless face facing the sky the sun blinded them one calmly enjoyed the warmth the other blocked it with his bandaget arms

Get up a not so friendly voice sad after kicking the two brothers

Ugg Zaza moand from the pain the man had hit him in the stomach taking his breath for a moment before it got back to normal

And as for Ra he got hit in the head his face bruised

Looking down on the these criminals the man felt nothing for what he was doing for him these to are nothing more than bait for they next hunt

A said get up" seeing as they still have not gotten up even when he just told me a few minutes ago he started to kick even more fircly after 30 they got up

Ra got up first and gave his hand to Za taking his hand Za got up and without a word started to follow the man

Hmm who said I will be in front you two stay infront and if you any suspicious movement you will get beaten till your brother can't recognize you anymore

They both noded and stared walking infront of the man

The man taking no chances nods to him self as he sees them walking forward

Good let's go" he said as they walked in the runies of the city

After a wiel of walking in silence in darkness they stop on a unusual place the unusual thing being that everything looks normal

Were here stop saying so two other people arrive with ropes on their hands

Get down on your knees he shouets "

No response

Saying again " get on your knees" the man kicks the back of their legs on the joints that connected the thigh with leg from the back sending them on their knees

As the two people arrive they take the ropes and tie Ra and Zaza up

And they leave without saying a word the man that got them here in the first place kicks their heads hard so they would be unconscious and won't trie to escape leves after seeing that blood was coming out their eyes, nose and ears

Even if they escape they will still die from brain trauma

He leaves quickly in the direction the two silent people went.

Wake up a boyish voice said wiel shaking me

Yeah I respond with a weak voice my mind confused and my face a mess

Get ready and dress up we will leave early my brother said wiel looking at me with his eyes

Why?were are we going? not fully awake I open my mouth before I could think of the answer

My brother looks at me like a fool and says

Of course to the center of the city for the carnival days

Ehh Ok I nod at his explanation my mind becoming clearer

Somehow it feels familiar

Heading down stairs after getting dressed up I look at my brother waiting at the door step

"Are you ready" Ra gives a quick look and says

"Yes" I say still confused

As we are heading down the streets for the center of the city I look around and see a familiar scene laughter chater and hand and hands

But I do not have a slip of the tongue like laste time

Like last time ?

Like last time??

Like what???

Forgetting what was I was even thinking I just walk with deep thinking

"Za let's get something to eat "

"Ah Ok "

Starteld by Ra I instantly agree with him I'm feeling hungry for some reason

"Welcome what can we get you" a waiter comes and asks for our order looking at his black hair I say "black not blond"

"What sir?" confused the waiter ask

Looking at him straight in the eyes I say"sorry you looked like a friend in high-school and i got a little confused why he died his hair black "

Feeling uncomfortable from the eye to eye contact with a stranger the waiter nods and ask for me for my order

"I would like five stacks well done with lots of fries and garlic sauce on the side"

"I am eating on the other side " saying so Ra gets up and switches

I look at him as he leaves of course he doesn't like garlic or onions I don't why but it just has been that way since I can remember

"Here is your order sir"

Coming out of my day dreaming I accepted it and it

"Ahm "

Looking at the side I see that the waiter is still here looking at me asking for something

"What is it you" I say with the a pice of stack on my mouth

"A tip" he simply says

"A tip?" I think looking at him staying there waiting a feel a little bit bad the waiter must be tired doing his job so

"Here is a hundred" smile as a hand him a hundred

Looking at the pice of paper the waiter thanks me with a smile on his face, natural I act modest like you should

"Thank you so much sir"

"No need no need " I smile

Getting up from my seat my hand takes a few nakpenks and leave with Ra that was waiting for me at the door as I was leaving I said aloud in my head

"I should be thankful to you"

A smile plastering my face.
