At the black forest
12:34pm
Third poisonous fog layer.
Wayne was flying in the air with his wind power. He was currently coming back from a big fight with the C- class monsters deep in forest. After four days of full battle he felt bored because he couldn't meet more power full monster and on top he got message from his sister to come back quickly with a big red warning sign. Anyway he was finish and there was nothing more to do in the forest except to return home but on his way he didn't expect that the forest path that he took 3 days earlier would some how ended up in the bloody pool. He jumped on the big trees and looked at the marks of a battle on the ground and broken tree. But there was not a single sign of monster's body that could be said that it was due to ground sucking up the dead bodies and cleaning the forest automatically like the forest itself was a big monster. He walked down and the smelly blood irritated his nostrils. He twitched his one eyebrow in annoyance and walked away and approach at the ground where the fight seemed to be first started . There were some marks left on the ground like someone was observing the situation before fighting.
'who ?' he thought
And walked around to see other marks.
'there is no way the monsters will fight each other for no reason'
He jumped in the air looked at his surrounding and from above he could clearly see a dark black poison fog far from where he was looking around.
' no one comes here because of those deadly poison fogs' he thought 'are they poison resistant?'
'if they come here around 4-5 days ago then ' he thought and looked at ground where the damp mark of someone hitting hard on the ground was visible 'are they still here?'
He was in his thoughts then suddenly he sniffed a familiar but alluring smell. He walked to the damp ground that he was staring earlier but now he could see blood drops that were mostly dried but the smell of blood was still as fresh as if it was bled at this moment.
'why does it smell so familiar and whose blood it is?' he said touching the bloody marks left by someone
He smelled the blood on his fingers suddenly he could feel a blood rush in his veins and change in his breath and thirst in his throat. He gulped down his saliva making his Adam's apple move up and down with his movements.
'why am I feeling thirsty ?' he thought and looked at the blood on his finger and gulped again
'could I be...'
He quickly stood up and cleaned the blood from his hands and also from ground and went back to the forest not looking at warning notification from his smart watch.
'there is one solution' he thought as he speed up his movements deep in forest
'to meet the owner of that blood'
Soon Wayne disappeared in the deep forest without thinking of any direction and left the third poison fog layer.
..
..
..crack/.
....crackkkkk/
The ground opened up with crack sounds from which come out dark black spinel tentacles curling up on the ground.
Khe/
..
khee/
..
khreeee
They circled around the place where the blood was cleaned and those big tentacles looked for the smell then curled up back in the ground and cracks soon disappeared.
Wooshhh///
The air in the forest with deadly poison fog blew away the smell of blood from monster and it turned back to it's original transparent fog forest.

At heal hospital 1:45pm
" How are you feeling today?" Asked doctor Roy holding a pad and pen in his hands
"I am feeling good". Said Jennifer while Patting her belly
"If its good then the baby will be delivered normally" doctor Roy said then he left the room
"I am sure the child will be born healthy just like ash and Liam" said grandma holding Jennifer 's hand.
"Yes after that she will be kicking on the ground like them" Jia said while coming with hot porridge. "They were both naughty as baby" she added while putting the porridge on her sisters lap table.
"I think same" said Jennifer
"Don't worry " grandma comforted Jenni
"Look so we were looking at young pictures of ash and Liam when they were baby" she said showing the photos to Jia and Jenni.
In the photo a five year child was touching the red cheeks of sleeping boy with a smile .
"They both are so cute"
Jenni looked at photos of her sons "ash is still not back?"
"There test should take at least a week so wait two more days" said Jia
"Yes you should worry about the baby in your womb" said grandma
"But I don't know I am just worried he always do what he says" she said touching the photo of young ash
Suddenly she felt kicks from her stomach. She touched her stomach and patted " are you also worried about your brother?" She said smiling but soon that smile disappear as she felt an unimaginable pain rising in her lower belly. She curled up as the pain kept increase.
"Jenni!" Both her her sister and mother shouted at the same time.
"I will call the doctor!" Jia shouted running out of the room
"Why now?" Her mother patted her back
"I ..I... Hurts... it's.... coming" Jenni was going in labour pain.
"But how ? Why so sudden?" Her mother was worried this has never happened not even when jenni gave birth to ash or Liam.
"....Baby.... Hurts.. AAA!!" Jenni screamed in pain her down bed sheets were soaked in red blood. Her whole body was shivering in pain.
Soon doctor Roy came and saw the condition of Jenni and quickly called the midwife to help with child birth.
Jenni was taken to an other room with a blood drip attached to her arms and her eyes were rolling back in so much pain. Jia was comforting her until they reached emergency room and was stopped by the nurse and waited outside with her mother.
"She will be fine" Jia said to herself.
"She has always taken care of her health so she will give birth all okey" her mother patted her shoulders
"But why was she in sudden labor?" They both asked but they didn't knew what trigger her to suddenly go in labor
"Was it because she was worried for ash?" Jia said while wiping her sweats off from her forehead.
"It must be that! A mother's worries are always on the spot" her mother said then she continued and asked
"I hope little ash is fine but do you know which forest they went?"
"I think it was near black forest called cherry forest but.." jua stopped realizing something was off
"But..?" Her mother asked
"No way!" Jia grabbed her hair back
"What !?" Her mother asked not understanding what her daughter was thinking.
"How is the situation!?"
A loud voice broke there conversation they both saw the owner of the speaker. A tall young looking man in a formal business suit covered in sweats with his dark brown hairs that were messed up from running all over here without taking a rest. Breathing heavily and sweat drops falling from his pale looking face to the ground he walked to the mother daughter pair and asked again
"How is Jenni!?"
"Calmn down Walter!" Mother said to the man named walter
"Sister will be okey brother in-law!" Said Eli
Yes the man name Walter Smith the father of Ashton and husband of Jennifer. He was Beta and successful business man now looking like this because of the sudden call from hospital that his wife suddenly giving birth. Not early at this morning he was told everything was normal so he decided to go hospital after the business meeting but he left everything on the spot and drived fast to the heal hospital. He run directly to the counter to ask for current emergency room where his wife was sent and came on the 8th floor and saw his both mother in law and sister in law out side the hospital room .
"It was fine this morning so why?" He asked not knowing the situation
"The doctor said it was because she suddenly felt nervous and her body reacted with her emotions". Walter's Mother in law said
"But don't worry she will be fine as the doctor said they were already prepared for unexpected situation" said Jia
"Yes" said Walter but his heart was still not calmn because this has never happened to him so how will he just cop with it?
"Let's sit down and wait" said his mother in-law
They all sat down and waited not knowing what was going to happen. From outer appearance everyone looked calm but they all were sweating hard and there hearts were pumping like a crazy drum.
"So which forest did ash go?" Jia's mother asked to change there mood a little
Then jia recalled the thing she forgot earlier due to Walter but she fought back and forth trying to change subject but it was already set she can't avoid because even Walter was looking at her for answer "did I not said to cherry forest?"
"Cherry forest? The one mainly used by beginners for there first forest search?" Her mother asked
"Yes yes that one" Jia said sighing in her heart that it was good that she was already looking nervous because of her sister or else the second lie would have caught on the spot.
"That's good he should be back in two day No?" Her mother asked
"Yes!" She quickly answered
Then they all drink some water given by butler Brody.
Jia drank water 'lily you are dead if you do something dangerous' she thought as she remembered the day her daughter requested to help her enter the black forest and coincidentally that date was same as ash's visit to cherry forest. She hoped that what she thought was just a guess.
'really what the hell are they doing at black forest!?'
...
Deep in side the forest where light didn't had a entrance to land on ground. Under those ground a dark dump place where mass bodies of unknown creatures were scattered around with cold liquid. The place was so humid and smelly and in that place there was human body lying under dead body.
"....whe....where...I..." The sound coming from that living body was unclear.
The body was again buried under a mass falling out of nowhere and ash's body couldn't be seen.
