Chapter 2 - Book or Life?

"I don't know"

Hanz said although his face is steady and dismay, it seems that hanz is not panicking nor even care what's happening around him.

The two started to run blindly as they bump through thick crowds trying to squeeze in. "Hold on" Hanz said looking at may.

Hanz jump at the seat and started punching the bulletproof train glass.

Hanz keep punching until it dents and cracks, his fist now battered and bloody as he keep punching the glass. With each passing time the creature presence keep getting closer and closer as May is behind hanz grabbing onto his legs.

"You might wanna hurry up" May said impatiently clearly showing her fear and will to escape towards that unkown creature that lures in the dark

"Just wait." Hanz said.

Weirdly enough, it's like hanz wasn't scared to the luring creature that may end up killing them. It's like he's experienced this "alot" of times before. But May is consumed by fear towards that creature that she doesn't even notice this about Hanz.

'KSSH-KRIKK" Hanz's fist finally break through the thick glass. But the opening was too small that even their heads couldn't fit in. Hanz grab the edge of the opening, the edge is sharp and thick holding is like holding a knife. He uses his strength to pull it.

"CRACK-KRSH' The glass shattered, he kept repeating the same method until there we're an opening big enough to fit a person.

On the otherside, while Hanz is occupied on breaking the glass, May who is behind him all the time was approached by a child who is crying.

May lean down "Are you lost?" She grab the kid and look around. "Don't worry we'll find your parents." She tried calming the kid down but to no avail. Little did she know that picking up this kid would be her biggest mistake.

The creature growls loudly as it's loud footstep gets closer and closer to May. "Shhh!" May said to the little kid who wont stop crying. "Hanz Hurry Up!". Hanz who is still making an opening through the glass didn't respond.

"Thump, thump, thump"

Before May can even react the creature was right before her eyes, she saw a clearer image of the creature, It was a 10 foot tall creature with metallic black legs with an absurd unexplainable head that has a hairy head and big pitch red eyes.

May looks at it terrified that she cannot move a single muscle in her entire body. What is this? What kind of creature is this? Going back I did study zoology in Kaizen College in Peters. I was a even a top student there, I've memorized every living creature on this planet yes there were creatures like this, tall and eerie but I have never seen this creature in books, lectures, even in ancient myths. Could this creature be... "Not from this world?"

As may hold onto Hanz leg very hard, Hanz felt it. He slowly looks behind and saw the creature.

"Just like in the #?$@, they did show up." Hanz grab may lifting her up with ease with the kid on her. "What are you talking about?" May said confused and terrified. Hanz didn't answer May question.

The Creature Growl and lift one of its sharp legs into the air aiming at them.

"There's no time."

The Creature's sharp leg swiftly launch to them but hanz who saw the move quickly leap into the shattered glass and land into the hard train station floor.

May who is in Hanz, hands. touches her stomach, it was cutted. The cut was not that deep but its lenght was long. She winces in pain as they run.

"Wait!" She said struggling to keep up with the speed of hanz.

"We have no time!" As hanz shout this at May who is in her knees in so much pain, he saw a familiar thing in the terminal 3 of the train station. He take a step not even noticing his surroundings anymore. "Hanz! Where are you going!" He is too focused on the extremly familiar thing that is lying on the ground that he forgets that May is injured and theres a Creature that is trying to get out of the train.

Is that what I think it is? I hope it is, I can't lose it, I don't know what I'll do if I lose this thing. I need to check if it really is.

Lost in his thoughts, Hanz blindly took small steps towards the familiar thing.

"Hanz!" May shouted and shouted but he cannot bring him back to reality.

Meanwhile the Creature find's its way out and is now running towards may. It growl loudly, loud enough to cause Hanz to wake up into reality. He looks at May and the creature then turn back to look the book

What should I do? What should I do?? I can't just leave her to die but I can't give up the opportunity to see if that thing is my...

Hanz stood there looking back and fourth. He can't decide what to do as anxiety starts attacking him.

"Ugh f*** it!" He frustratingly shout out loudly and he run towards May and lift her up.

"Dont make me regret doing this!"

The run and run to the station trying to lose the creature that follows them at their back. The creature who shows no sign of stopping goes faster. "Hey Hanz the creature... It goes faster!" Hanz look back and it really did.

Damn there's really no way of outrunning this thing. The only way to escape alive here is to fight it.

Hanz drop May gently on the floor and goes front of them. "Run while you still can May. We cannot outrun this thing." Hanz said calmly.

"B-but-"

"No more questions, just go." May who is still confused and frighten stood up slowly despite the excruciating pain in her stomach. The kid who stopped crying help May get up. They run blindly towards the East side of the station leaving behind Hanz.

May look back one last time as she saw the silhouette of Hanz that was holding something, it was like a glowing cube thing that glows through the dark station. She can't clearly see what it looks like but she's sure that it's an object not from this world.

I dont know what's that thing but Hanz... I hope you survive, thank you for sacrificing please live.

After what seems like an endless run, May and the kid reachest a group of people using flashlights, there we're likea hundred of them and everyone is just at chaos. Some panics, some try to calm others some loses it and some tries to figure out what's happening.

May kneels down to the kid and caresses his hair. "Everything's going to be alright, okay? May I ask what's your name" She forces a smile since the trauma still attacks her.

"I-im Kim." The kid stuttering response

"Kim? That's a nice name" May said

Both of them navigate through the crowd trying to get some help. Looking at the crowd there we're alot of terrified people, there's even one who lost her legs and one who lost his arm.

This is horrible, really horrible. I can't stand to look at this poor people anymore. I just hope for everything to end.

"There's a monster out there!?"

"What's going on?"

"That thing f***** killed my brother!"

"Please help!!"

The atmosphere was chaotic and loud. May mind goes blank as she gets a flashback of the horrible thing's that happened. She cannot forget the monster devious look and figure. She stare blankly at the air not noticing that the kid that she's holding her hands with was gone.

...

Hanz stand there holding a glowing cube with a symmetry pattern of geometric lines. The cube itself radiate extremly strong aura and it does not look like it's from this world.

"| $#@& +&#$@ &$# @#$@ &$#@." Hanz said.

Then hanz took a step as the creature then sp91kwjnso$—. The narration has failed to show this to readers.

I REPEAT. THE NARRATION HAS FAILED TO SHOW THIS TO READERS.
