CHAPTER 7 Realization Part 1

Araia's POV

"Let's go."

Freya pulled me towards the direction of the house. As we ran non-stop, we heard a massive explosion which made us get on our knees.

"What was that?!" My head was spinning a little because of the explosion.

I am catching my breath while covering my ears. My ears are ringing!

"It must be the HEADS… Let's go!"

What heads is she talking about?

Freya didn't cover her ears, she looks like she's used to this!

After recovering a little on what happened, Freya pulled me again and we started running again towards their house.

While we were running, I noticed that the village was empty like a ghost town.

You will not see anything moving outside, there's no people playing and talking outside like before.

In a blink of an eye this lively village now looked like a deserted place.

Where did the people go?

Just what is happening…

We ran towards their house and as soon as we got there, the door opened.

"Come in!" Elder Baster is the one who opens the door.

He pulled us to get inside as soon as he saw us, he immediately closed the door after we finally got in.

"Freya, get your weapon!"

"Yes elder."

Free run towards the kitchen, when she comes back she is holding a sharp log with a thickness that fits perfectly in her hands.

She gave me one and told me to point it towards the door.

"What should i do with this?"

"You need that to protect yourself!"

Wait, why do I need to protect myself here in the house? don't tell me those monsters will come here?!

"Will the monsters come here?!" I didn't realize that I was shouting.

Both of them gestured for me to hush.

"Lower your voice, Araia!" Freya faced me.

"I'm sorry! But will they really come here?" I am trembling in fear, my mind's still occupied by what happened a while ago and because of the explosion.

"We are not sure but it's better to prepare ourselves." Elder Baster places another sharp log on the door.

Oh my goodness…

What is happening here…

"Get on your knees, Araia." Elder said.

Freya helped me when she noticed that I couldn't move my body.

"You don't have to worry, I'm sure that they'll not go here since Alpha Alejandro is already there."

Who's Alejandro?

"He's there?" Elder asked her.

"Yes, elder, so you shouldn't worry too much, Araia."

She tapped my shoulder to assure me but I still couldn't get myself to not worry since what I've seen earlier is worrying.

It's my first time seeing a monster like that, he looks like a zombie but he's incredibly strong! Does the government know about this?!

Why's there no news about those?!

I can feel my whole body trembling, my mind couldn't forget the face of that monster I saw.

Those red eyes, sharp fangs, body that's full of a combination of dirt and blood…

Goodness, what did they do to their own bodies?!

Are they drug addicts?!

Wait, that's right! We need to call the police!

"Cellphone! Telephone! We need to call the police!"

Why didn't I think of this earlier!?

"What are you talking about?" Freya and Elder faced me.

Both of them looked confused, what's with that face?

"We need to call the cops, they'll help us to arrest those monsters!"

"Hurry! Where's the phone?!"

Why are they still standing?

"Hey?!" What's with them?

Can't they hear me?

"What's wrong?" Freya's eyebrows raised.

"What phone are you talking about?" She asks me.

What, why are you asking me about the phone?

"The phone! We need a phone to call the cops so they'll take care of the monsters!"

"I'm not sure if I know what you're talking about, you're saying uncommon words again, Araia…"

What uncommon words? What's uncommon with that?

"Come on, don't you guys have a phone or something we can use to contact the cops?"

It's impossible if they don't have a phone or telephone here, this place looks like it isn't that far from the city! And even the countryside has a means to contact someone- they have phones!

"We neither have a phone nor a policeman here, Araia."

"..."

My eyes widened, is she for real?!

"How come- Ahh!"

A huge bang echoed through the whole house .

"What was that?!" Why's there a loud sound again?!

"It must be them, get on your senses." Elder Baster points his log to the door.

Who's them? Don't tell me…

"Are those the monsters?" I glanced at Freya.
