Episode 3: The Monster

3. Monsters

“They were ordinary animals. But because they’ve infected, now they’re just a bunch of monsters.” –unknown.

Alice closed the door to the bakery. After finishing his work, he was finally able to rush home quietly. During her stay in Region VII, Alice worked part-time to survive. The tips he got were quite a lot so that it could be saved.

Then the girl turned to stare at the snowflakes that started to slowly fall. He held out his hand, holding the white details. It was strange that snow had fallen on the first day of winter. Last year, it snowed in the middle of winter.

Alice remembered how she was locked up in an old shack in winter. At that time, he was punished for not doing his job properly. As a result, he who was then seven years old almost died of cold. He could not use his strength because of the special chains that bound his hands and feet.

“*Somehow can't!? Because of you …! All because of you—!”

“I'm sorry, Mister!”

“Sorry you won't be able to change anything! Disgusting*!”

Alice held her head and grimaced. The shadow of the voice echoed back in his mind. It had been two years, but the voice was still clear. The trauma the qyang produced from torture for over five years completely shackled him.

“Nona, are you okay?”

Alice turned her head and found a blond-looking young man staring at her anxiously. The young man had a handsome face and shady eyes. He even reached out and smiled warmly.

“A-I'm fine. Thanks,” said Alice quickly. He tried to smile back and welcome the hand. Despite not wearing gloves, the young man's palm remained warm. Alice hurriedly took it off before thinking strangely.

“We just met today, huh?” ask the young man familiar. “My name is Lucas. What's your name, Miss Pretty?”

“A-I .. Alice Tristan,” replied Alice trying to be ordinary. Just this time there was someone who praised her beautiful. It's only natural that he becomes groggy.

“Can I call Alice?”

“Sure, Lucas.”

Lucas smiled happily. For the second time, they shook hands. Alice again felt the warmth behind Lucas' palm. Just hurry he wants to take off, Lucas actually held him back.

“I can feel it,” murmured Lucas slowly. He looked at Alice's hand with great care. Then turned to look at Alice and smiled enthusiastically. “It seems I'm not wrong people. Chalista won't scold me anymore.”

“What do you mean?” joked Alice while taking her hand off. He gulped. His brain seemed to spin rapidly, thinking about the various possibilities that the young man would reveal.

Did he know his secret all along? Or would lock him up like those guys did. Oh God. Alice's heart was now racing faster than usual.

“What do you want, huh!?” hardik Alice's.

“Alice—”

The loud voice sounded so clear. The two of them quickly looked over. A man was thrown from a narrow alley. Along with the dust billowing from inside the alley.

“To-toloooong!” frightened screams.

He stared at the horror of the four-legged figure that was inside the alley. Then ran towards Alice and Lucas who happened to be not far from there. But not yet arrived, a figure from the alley appeared and pounced on the man to death.

“MIAAAWWRRR!!”

Before them at this moment, a cat that was supposed to be the funniest animal, had now turned into a monster. It was almost half the height of a human body with all four legs having pointed claws. A pair of cat eyes

the purple turned sharply staring.

Alice looked up and closed her mouth. He only remembered about Alvian's bad premonition after seeing the figure. So this is the end of his bad feeling? Oh gosh.

“Lucas, we have to report!” Alice immediately turned around, but the monster moved to jump even faster. Just know that the monster was in front of Alice and confronted her. “Aaa ..”

“MIAWWR!”

His claws were swinging violently. Alice swiftly jumped back. But as the attack continued, the monster leapt back right in front of Alice with the monster's mouth wide open. Yoke! Alice's back touched the wall. One more attack, Alice was confirmed to be the food of the monster.

“Awas!” Lucas pushed Alice's body and grabbed her while rolling to the right. The monster hit a concrete wall. Lucas hurriedly stared

Alice grimaced softly. “You all right?!”

“I-iya. Thanks.”

They stood up and looked at the monster. Now they exchanged glances with sharp eyes. Alice bit her lower lip. The monster did not

he will let him escape alive.

“Lucas, we really have to report! Before—”

“I think you want to deal with it, Alice,” cut Lucas while smiling bitterly. “Do not continue to avoid. Do you think I don't know?”

Alice was shocked. “What ...!?”

“Yes geez. Regret once,” murmured Lucas. Disappointment was clearly etched on his face. “All because of you.”

And the eyes of the man became sharp.
