Chapter 23 - Cornered

The giant snake guy looked at Emma with fierce eyes and began grinding his fangs against each other.

"Do you want to get eaten!," the giant snake guy shouted at Emma, spitting saliva at Emma's face while shouting.

"Sorry, I just really wanted to know, so do you mind answering," Emma replied in a hushed tone, still prying the giant snake guy for an answer.

"Boys! We gotta fool over here who wants to become a meal. Get out of your little trading session, and we'll see who gets lunch for tonight." Shouted the giant snake once again. This time a bunch of people from the yellow grass park area had emerged from there some had looked a bit odd.

All of the men coming to the spot where Emma and the giant snake's small brigade had all looked mostly human. They had odd facial features, one of the about ten men coming had an eye on his lip, another had antlers in his teeth. The oddest of them all though had been a man with black hair and a single giant blue eye covering his entire face.

That fellow had been the fastest to come to the giant snake, they had looked at each other for a tiny bit, then both nodded as they had talked and understood each other on something.

Just then the two men close to the giant snake guy and the single eyed man came closer to her.

Infatuated by her poor decision making skills Emma attempted to run from the small growing group of deformed people by heading further down the alleyway, but as she did the single eyed man closed his eyeball for a moment then immediately opened them staring directly at Emma.

Emma had felt a force forcing her to pause every muscle from moving.

An ominous voice in her head commented in a sadistic tone, "you shouldn't have runned fool, you're just making yourself look more appetizing."

Emma had been completely frozen from the stare of the single eyed blue man, as if some force had denied her the ability to move, scream, and shout for help.

The crew of abnormal people finally stopped increasing, all adding together to a group of 13 who had come closer to her, all looking menacingly at her. As if they had wanted to tear her to shreds.

"Cowards," Shouted a feminine voice from somewhere above them.

Emma had breathed a sigh of relief, someone was here to save her. Emma had rejoiced thinking that the feminine voice would go to seek help from them.

Just a few seconds after the sigh she had heard something resembling a slashing sound, and a corpse fell to the floor.

Emma was released from the one eyeball man's power. Looking around she had noticed a corpse with a huge slash scar that reached to his head and stopped at his foot, there were the other abnormal men too but they had all been living and were backing away from a woman that had been right in front of her standing over a corpse.

She had blue hair, green eyes, and extremely pale skin, and was wearing a brown coat, a black shirt and pants, brown boots. Looking at her Emma had hope filled in her eyes, she wasn't going to get eaten she had wanted to thank the women but one of the abnormal men with the eye on his lip shouted something.

"It's Alita, the new executioner of AVID!"

"I didn't think I would be recognized so fast, face the wrath of a wanderer and a hungry evils" Alita replied with a hint of amusement in her voice.

Emma had seen it at first. Alita had a light blue wooden staff that had a bit of curly extending on top, on the top of the staff was a massive arched blade.

Alita had swung down her staff, and the blade had extended further and reached the heads of one of the abnormal men. And as it rushed down it Severed his head from his body in an instant.
