”Ivonne, keep living. To me and promise me, you won't cry over all your regrets.”
Ivonne awoke suddenly when she heard the voice of the man who was talking to her. At such a time, his breath was puffing. His heart was pounding very fast and his sweat was pouring out from above his head. It took him a while to get his condition back to how it was.
”You're aware?”
Again a male voice was clearly heard in his ears. He quickly looked to the side and saw Aaron sitting on his bedside chair while reading a book. Ivonne also stared at the window and it was almost noon. Although his sleep was messy, he felt like he had been sleeping for days.
”Why can I be here?”
Aaron was a little surprised to hear Ivonne's question. It was as if he had forgotten what happened to him last night. ”... You fainted from exhaustion. Luckily Edmund took you straight to the dugout. Otherwise you will be a carcass there.”
Ivonne was silent for a moment. ”Then? Why are you here?”
”Hei! Aaron's! Get out of here! Let him rest!” Edmund suddenly came from behind the door and shocked the two of them.
”Aduh,... Edmund. Can't you just relax for a second? We almost got to the point.” said Aaron casually while shaking his hand.
”I don't care what your reason is! Quickly get out of here!” Edmund tries to pull Aaron away. It seems that Edmund is a very jealous person and hates Aaron very much. Not only is his love one-handed but Aaron is also his nemesis in real life.
”Wait a minute you two!” ivonne said suddenly to invite the attention of both of them. ”... What about outside? Those patients, how many were injured?”
They both looked surprised after hearing it. Instead of asking about her own circumstances, Ivonne asks about the circumstances of others. In fact, he himself also needed treatment after fainting for a day.
Aaron chuckled even though he seemed to be just an ordinary smile. ”... Not too bad. There were some medics standing guard there. You don't have to worry.”
”But, why is there still the voice of someone in pain? They may lack people. I'll help him immediately.” Ivonne got off the top of her bed, about to walk towards the refuge.
However, just as he was about to walk, Edmund came to him and immediately held him right in front of his bed so that he could not move anywhere. The distance between the two was so close that even they could hear each other's breath sounds.
”H- hey! You consider me what is here.” said Aaron who felt Edmund's actions were too excessive to make himself feel neglected.
Silent.
The two kept quiet for a while. Not opening your voice to explain it. Slowly Edmund showed his serious-looking face to Ivonne's face which seemed confused by Edmund's new nature.
”Do not force yourself. Everything's fine. Try to think about yourself. I don't want to see you sick like this.” said Edmund slowly.
Ivonne. He blinked his eyes many times. Not understanding the situation that was happening in front of him. He gently touched the hand of Edmund who was right next to him then looked at him gently.
Not until one second of the two dissolved in the drama, Ivonne suddenly showed an expression of his brother who did not look carried away. His feelings for Edmund seemed to have been blunt even hard. It was as if his heart was no longer giving any man a vacancy. Meanwhile, Aaron silently laughed at her from behind. He also did not expect Ivonne to say things that never crossed his mind.
...~o0o~...
”Everything out of here!”
After Ayhner shouted, everyone there immediately left the church in a hurry. Except for Eldric who is still surprised by Ayhner's sudden arrival. The sound of people screaming was heard from various directions. Their footsteps moved originally no matter what they were currently stepping on.
Ayhner looked towards Eldric who was still standing at the same spot. He was startled, looking at the black shadow that appeared behind Eldric. The shadow moved so quickly that it almost pounced on him in a single strike.
”Eldric! Get out of there!”
Ayhner tried to get close. However, the shadow of the woman moved much faster than he expected. As a result, the woman managed to bite the shoulder and eat it like a wild animal. His blood was everywhere. Eldric could not even shout and immediately fell down where he stood.
Ayhner did not stand still watching him from a distance. He immediately took out his knife and moved quickly slashing at the female zombie that attacked him. However, the movement of the zombie was faster than him. He immediately moved away, avoiding Ayhner's attacks that had repeatedly.
As Eldric looked at her, Ayhner looked extremely angry. His hands clenched very strongly. Even the knife that was in his right hand to the point of shaking from it. Seeing the blood, Ayhner was not tempted at all. Eldric's blood is not his favorite food.
Deliberately, Ayhner knelt down in front of Eldric who still looked in great pain. He felt very pained when he saw Eldric's wound that was removing flesh. Deliberately, he again injured his hand, letting his blood drip over Eldric's wound. However, a single drop was not enough to treat his wound quickly. The small wound, then deliberately dilated by it until his blood did not stop flowing from his palm. The quick way he could use was simply to force him to eat his meat.
Ayhner gritted his flesh slightly then put it into Eldric's mouth forcefully.
”Ugh! Ayhner what are you doing?!” Eldric tried to hold Ayhner's hand that was getting closer to him.
Ayhner looked at him seriously. ”... Be eating. I don't want to see you hurt. I forced.” without thinking anymore, Ayhner directly put a piece of meat into Eldric's mouth to make him swallow it.
Moments after he swallowed it, the wound on his shoulder slowly healed and the pain began to disappear. If this is the case, he only needs to eradicate one pest that has provoked his anger.
”Chealing capabilities? I just saw it even though I heard it years ago.” said the female zombie as she looked at Ayhner who was standing on the other side. ”... I heard, the news has spread quickly. Someone has lied to everyone and harmed those who believe it.”
”... The book says that the human species can cure all diseases. So plain. In reality, we have come to eradicate all the humans that are here. Not to help people. The contrary. If one of the human species could hunt a healer like you, even if you had turned into one of us, those who ate his flesh would live eternally and not be easily injured.”
”... I really can't believe humans can be this innocent. Instead of hiding from us, you came to us and even dared to show your weakness.” the female zombie pointed her index finger and continued, ”... I will make you give up everything even if I have to kill the human child behind you.”
Ayhner covered the sight of the female zombie who kept staring at Eldric then said, ”... I won't stay silent if you do.”
