Episode 5: The Beginning of the Choice
5. Beginning of Choice
“Maybe the hardest part of life is just having course to try.” - Rachel Hollis.
Alvian stared at the hologram screen of the watch
cleverness. From earlier he scrolled the incoming messages, both personal and group. But Alice's message never came. Repeated refreshing is the same. Then he switched to call history. No incoming calls. There were only 20 unanswered calls.
The man breathed a sigh. Though
alice told him she was on her way home. But it's been 45 minutes and Alice hasn't shown her nose at all. No messages or phone calls. How strange.
“What don't-don't my hunch be right huh?” muttered Alvian slowly. Anxiety was eating away at his chest. “Sial shit!”
TONG TING! TONG TING!
The doorbell rang loudly. Alvian hurriedly got out of his bed and hoped that the figure behind the door was his twin sister. He looked out the window before opening the door
enthusiastic.
“Alice!” Alvian exclaimed happily to see
his twin sister. But immediately turned into a furious look at Alice's appearance. “Why are you, Alice!? Jeez!”
The figure at the door of his house is indeed
Alice. But his appearance is completely different. Look at the girl now completely shabby. Her usual strands of hair neatly arranged now look tangled. Sparks of blue blood littered his boots and thick jacket. Not to mention the blisters that tore the thick of the jacket he was wearing.
“What has happened, Alice?” asked Alvian who was not answered. He gripped both of Alice's shoulders and the look in his eyes turned full of intimidating.
“Long story,” answered Alice lazily. Sure
that answer did not satisfy Alvian. The man still looked at her deeply. “I'm fine, really. Than that ... you better acquaintance with him.”
“Dia?” Alvian followed Alice's tail.
“Halo, Alvian Tristan,” greet a blonde man who was not aware of his existence by Lucas. “Aduh, first
his impression is encumbered nih.”
“Who are you?” asked Alvian coldly.
“Include me Lucas. Nice to meet you directly, Alvian Tristan,” Lucas smiled kindly. He stretched out his hand to shake hands.
“If you already know my name, I don't
need to mention my name again right?” alvian asked who finally removed his hand from Alice's shoulder and shook Lucas' hand. The warmth returned from Lucas' palm. The man's hand was not wrapped in gloves. How strange.
“It's cold, Tristan,” said Lucas while still smiling kindly. “Don't be too cold to me. I just want to take Alice to the doorstep safely kok.”
“Oh, yes? Really?”
Back emerald Alvian's eyes looked at Alice intimidatingly. Alice felt that her sister could freeze her body at any time.
“Jeez, Vian. He's not lying. Stop looking at me like that,” said Alice who did not feel at home in such a gaze. He knows that his twin brother is superprotective, but doesn't have to be suspicious all the time either, right?
“Alright,” said Alvian in the end. Then look at Lucas again. “Thanks yes.”
“Yap, then I say goodbye first, yes, Tristan,” Lucas said as he waved his hand. But before the man actually left them, Lucas glanced at Alice through the tail of his eyes. “Don't forget I'm waiting for the answer, Alice.”
Alvian scrunched his forehead. So ambiguous. Was this twin sister shot by someone like Lucas? Alvian shook his head in annoyance, trying to erase those annoying thoughts.
“You take a shower, Lice. Clean up the wound and I'll take your wound. But before, I'll make
something warm for you,” Alvian said as he closed the door.
Alice just nodded obediently. Without another babibu, she immediately picked up a towel and stepped into the bathroom.
While Alvian makes hot chocolate
and set up a P3K box while thinking what caused his sister to arrive like that. When viewed from the jacket the girl had dropped, this tear must have been caused by something extremely sharp, like a monster's claw.
“Ah?” Alvian frowned to find a tearing coordinate spot from Alice's jacket pocket. “This must be related to the man.”
“Aduh ...” Alice who just came out of the bathroom rubbed the claw wound that hit her arm. He immediately sat down on the living room sofa and let Alvian bandage his wound.
“Which else is injured?” ask Alvian
remove the bandage.
“Already. The rest are ordinary scratches. Later too
heal yourself,” Alice replied with a warm smile. “Thanks yes.”
Alvian nodded and immediately cleared the contents of the P3K box. It was a hot chocolate that he had just made. That girl
drink it with pleasure. At once Alice felt lucky to have a twin sister who was so considerate.
“So ..” Alvian takes a sitting position in
the front sofa of Alice. He crossed his arms and somehow his look turned upset. “... You shot Lucas?”
“UHUK!” Alice chokes while
sipping the chocolate. The burning sensation immediately gnawed at his throat. Hurriedly he drank water to neutralize his throat. So surprised by the thought of his twin brother so shallow.
“Yes geez. It turns out to be true, huh?” Alvian whimpering.
“Stupid! Where might I just shot the same person who just met!” alice exclaimed as she poked her twin sister with two sofa cushions over and over again at once. Then he sat back down while frowning and shaking his head. “Huft. You must have misunderstood.”
“Iya-iya. Sorry yes, hehehe,” Alvian cengengesan without sin.
"Don't hear it" Alice grumbled.
Alvian quietly sighed in relief because his twin sister is still single. She didn't want Alice to have a boyfriend before she first had a boyfriend.
“I met Lucas when I came home from the store
bakery,” said Alice started telling stories. He looked down, staring at his half-living hot brown cup. “Suddenly we were attacked by monsters. And very, very
it was strange because along the way it was completely deserted. I'm up to wonder.”
“Then?”
Alice told me everything. How the monster always targets itself after the previous victim was killed. Then how he who initially only dodged but could not last long. If
if Lucas wasn't around, the injury would be worse.
“At last I saw the power of Lucas. Looks like he can make .. umm. But make some kind of electricity?”
“Hmm,” Alvian brooding. He squeaks
forehead and close his eyes. “That means in this world there are those who have abnormal powers besides us huh?”
“Could be,” Alice nodded. Then he flinched when he realized a reality. “That means we're not damned children, right? It's just a nickname, right?”
Alvian nodded. “Outcome me
don't know.”
Alice breathed again. The universe shouldn't hate them, wouldn't it be if the damned child was just a nickname? Why should they accept suffering in the past if there is currently someone with abnormal powers who is free? The girl came back moody.
“Then what Lucas meant before him
go?” tanya Alvian switched the topic.
“Ah, the ..” Alice remembered then swapped
look at Alvian. “He asked us to join him.”
“... Join it?"
"Yes. He asked us to fight with him."
"HUH!?"
