The monster became more angry with Henry since he had killed one from their race. Henry was still surrounded by the monsters inside the room. He was not sure if he could come out successfully or get injured or die at the end. He gained courage and went on with the fight. Though he was lonely amongst other races but this could not stop him in the face of danger. "Let us all attack this little man," one of the monsters instructed. Henry sensed much danger in the house and wanted to find ways to get outside the house. Since he was surrounded by monsters, the only way to get out was through fighting.
The monsters moved together towards Henry to engulf him. Henry began his war against them. Unfortunately, he was grabbed by one monster from the back. Henry used the sword to cut the monster. He successfully found a way out and injured the monster. Due to pain, the monster left him though with little injury at his back. Henry found his way to fight now that he was free. He was rotating in all angles to attack all the monsters at the same time. Darkness covered the room slowly. This was something that could endanger Henry's life. He was to use all his means to get out of the room.
His sword was successfully cutting monster parts each time he twisted it in air. The monsters got threatened by this and began running away from him. He wanted to use this chance to at least kill another monster to gain other potion but the monsters disappeared leaving him in the room. Henry went outside the house only to realize that all the monsters had gone. Before moving from such an area, Henry entered again in the mansion to confirm if there were other monsters in the house. He slowly moved in the house but it was very dark not to see anything. He checked to find any switch to light the house.
No sooner had he gone far than he saw an electric bulb just on the ceiling board. He knew there was electric power in the house. He placed his hand on the wall and moved it gently on it to check the switches. He went round the room and touched on the switch. This was the time he saw light in the room. He smiled since it was something important to him. He went on moving to the next room to check only to find out the the room had light. He made a conclusion that he had used the main switch to ignite power.
Henry moved keenly checking in every place in the room. As he was checking, he found a young man hiding at the back of a cupboard. Henry moved the cupboard to be sure if he was from the human race. The man shouted immediately he heard movements of the cupboard. The shout was accompanied by a loud scream. Henry talked to the man to reduce tention in him. "Relax brother, am from the human race and I can't harm you." The young man smiled as he stretched his hand to greet Henry. He then moved out of the cupboard exposing his body fully. The man had emaciated maybe due to hunger or something else related to anxiety and stress. "Am John, the son of the late army, Alex. My father was murdered in cold blood by the monsters. My mother was too murdered and eaten. It was by grace that I remained in this house as the only one who survived." John said and as tears ran down his cheeks continuously.
Henry felt sympathetic to John by crying too. He moved near John and hugged him showing at least some love for him. Since John looked so weak and hungry in nature, with his shoulders protruding from the neck, Henry decided to do a first aid. He couldn't give him water while his stomach was empty. He went directly into the kitchen and lucky enough, he found uncooked food stuff well stored. He chose to cook some food for him. Since it was in Miho city, everything was digitalized. He used an electric cooker to prepare some rice. It was a very expensive packaged rice. He first of all read the directions for use and there after read the steps followed.
After keen reading and comprehensive analysis, he placed some water in the cooking container and left it to boil. At this time, John was resting on the bed. He used the shortest time possible to prepare the meal. Henry was feeling a sense belonging since he had found someone of his age. It was also his first time staying in a mansion in the city. The rest of his life was spent in slums living in misery. The food was prepared and since all of them were hungry, they sat at the table and enjoyed the meal as they engaged in a direct conversation. It was a previlege to Henry that he really enjoyed. They all smiled together and enjoyed the moment.
"For how long have you been staying here? Henry asked. "I have been here for three good days hiding. I have never taken anything in the name of food. I have been standing since the monsters had occupied the house. I had decided to die silently than being murdered by the monsters. I have been leading a very desperate life here." John replied. The period was full of tears since after every statement, tears ran down their cheeks. Remember that this was late in the night and darkness had fully covered the planet. Henry decided to spend his night in the mansion with John but it was at an extent dangerous for their lives. The conversation went on for a period of time.
"Since we are ailing in tough times where the human race is very powerless,we must accept the situation and think of other means to rule over. As you can see, we are only remaining few creatures from the human race." Henry said. John on the other hand, he was quiet in the chair that he had sunk in. After food had been digested in the stomach, John recovered his senses and became very active. " How did you manage to get inside here? The house has been occupied by many monsters. I heard a fight but I kept silent not to be noticed by the monsters. After a long time of struggle that was when the house became very silently and the lights were lit. After some times of silent, that is when I saw you. What powers do you have to fight monsters which killed a skilled army like my father? My mother was too an army but they were simply defeated." John questioned.
"You may not understand how it all happened but I just fought them physically. I was nearly dying but I managed to come out alive. We are living in a chaotic error. Infact it is very dangerous for us spending our night here. Henry replied. There was a moment of silence before Henry went on with the conversation. "I know it's very late and we can't move from here in search of a better place. For a long period of time, I have been going without sleep due to fear. I have been living like an animal in the wilderness. To end such an error, we have to try our level best. You being a son to the late military armies, I know you were taught different skills, isn't it?"
John nodded his head as a sign of acceptance to the statements uttered by Henry. He thereafter added a statement. "I have all skills in fighting, infact I was a student in the military school but for sure, the monsters are beyond human power. The bullets can't kill the monsters so what are we going to do?" Henry looked down for a moment holding his belongings and thereafter replied. "What you are saying is very true and am happy that you have military skills. Since the monsters are resistance to the bullets, I have found another way of fighting them. The use of swords and spearhead and arrows is the only way to fight and emerge winners. Since your family has been in military for a very long time, I am very sure that you own several fighting equipments such as swords, arrows and spearheads. This sword am holding now is from this house and it has really helped me in fighting the monsters."
After a time of examination of the statements, John moved from his confortable chair and entered a certain room. From the room, he brought several fighting equipments at the table and said."I know you are shocked to see this but for your information, my father had a high rank in the military. If these can help us win then let us go. I believe in my self through the skills I have." There was again a minute of silence. "I want to do a revenge. I can't let my family die just easily as that." Henry cleared his throat loudly and replied, " we can't move out right now. Now that we have all it takes in war, let us relax and wait for the light to come in the morning." Henry was at all times restless in the house because the monsters could attack them anytime. The going of the monsters left him with many questions.
