Is it been 40 minutes since we left the boards of Sinny. Now, we are on an edge, it hasn't stopped snowing since 30 minutes ago. In total, there are 11 people on this bus, including the human driving the bus. While I was counting the minutes back at the "armory", I also counted the people as if they were seconds, there were 47 sevens or maybe more persons there. On the 10 people that I saw before, is the redhead. He doesn't have his helmet on, he's sitted on the seats next to me.
Looking to the positive part, the vigilantes, apart from my gun, left me all the things I had on my bag. It doesn't matter if they took away my gun, anyway, now I have a bigger one.
-Stop the bus! I saw her! I saw her! -The redhead screamed. His lips are bleeding.
-Y... You saw your sibling...? -A no-left-arm shyly said.
-Yes! She was right there! PLEASE! Stop the bus! I beg of you, please! -The driver stopped the bus and opened the door without thinking.
The redhead decides not to lose a second, a no-right-hand guy stood up from his seat and grabbed the redhead by his torso. -What are you doing?! Have you lost your mind?!
-I saw her!, I saw her! Let me go! -Redhead starts to sob.
I can only stare at them.
A groan is heard at the near along some echo, I can hear how the bloodiest demon is climbing the edge, I can hear the blood falling from its mouth, the feathers falling from its arm and legs...
-W... We have to get back in. Please, close the door! -The no-hand guy pulls the redhead inside the bus, but...
Oh God, looks like something is pulling the redhead. Did it get here already?
The movement of the bus and the screams of the redhead answered to my question. I stand up. The redhead is almost in the mouth of the demon bird, it is... bigger than what I've heard about. The no-hand guy grabs the hand of the redhead, it is the only thing that is letting him...
-NOOO!!! NO, NO, NO!!! WHY?! WHY!? -The door from the bus closes, I can see how the demon bird flies away with the redhead on his peak, its white body is full of blood. -WHY WOULD YOU LET ME GO?! WHY?!
-10... -The pain on my leg is back.
After all, I haven't given it any attention since I got caught. I'll have to take a look at it when I have time to take off the pants set.
I limp to the no-hand and help him get up. The turbulence of the bus seems to be more rough than before. Looks like the driver is not happy with his leg being covered with blood.
I have to admit, that the scene was too much. Who knows what sort of things the redhead have been going through, to the point he started to hallucinate with people. I put my bag on the ground and helps the no-hand to sit. It was disrespectful from my part to only be a spectator more. It was a real person. Now I feel like a monster...
-I'm sorry. -The no-hand guy wants to scream, cry, die.
-It is fine. He decided to... do that... We couldn't do anything for him.
-No... I heard the demon bird climbing the edge. If I opened my mouth you could have pulled him inside, no, I should have stood up and helped you drag him inside. -I start to search for anything that could help me to clean his face.
-I... You... How...? -He starts to cry once again.
My throat feels thirsty. I swallow saliva but the feeling stay. I...
-I honestly thought everyone heard it. -Lies.
-I didn't... I suppose it was because I was focused on helping him... How terrible it is, we didn't even get to know his name. M... Mine is Akira... What about yours?
My name? I guess I was the only one that didn't choose a fake name. I was too focused on my own things, but my friends always called me...
-Kitt. -A friendly nickname made by friendly people...
-Kitt... I guess only a couple got the luck of a having a real name... Sorry if that offends you.
-Yeah...and don't worry, I'm not offended, is it the truth.
14, 60, 80 minutes. Not a single word, not a single scream, groan, flutter, nothing. Only the sound of the bus.
120.
-Everyone, get out. -The driver said.
I see we are on a new biome, a forest, the rain seems to be strong enough to ruin the weak cables of some vigilantes. The leafs are completely green. It feels as if I were looking at a photo. Since I've got born, I've only see white, snow. Coldness. I guess I can discard this from my "things to see" list.
After all the 10 people left the bus, it just disappeared in the rain. No orders, no words, no luck.
-W... What are we supposed to do now? -Why is this guy here? He looks completely healthy. I had to struggle to get out of the bus.
-I don't know, we didn't receive any order. They sent us here to die, but they gave us good equipment to kill demons from a high gamma. -The man behind the helmet seems healthy, too.
-A militia... -Oh fu... I didn't mean to say that, now Akira is staring at me.
-Yeah. Uhm, so, before we start moving... -Someone interrupted him.
-Why should we... even put a step inside the forest? W... We should go back to Sinny.
-It was more than 2 hours on bus, do you wanna walk by yourself those kilometers.? Do you want to find yourself with another demon and die like a coward? -A soldier... The second one has to be a soldier too.
-We should, at least, hide. We are too exposed here.
There they go, the others are following them like nothing.
-Kitt.
-Mmm?
-... Are you okay...?
-Yes? Why wouldn't I?
My leg feels fine. At least I can call "fine" since it doesn't hurt the much it hurted before.
-You seemed to struggle walking out of the bus. Are you affected with what... happened to Rudowłosy...?
Who?
-Who's Rudowłosy?
-I decided to call him... You know... You know who I refer to. I do not want to keep calling him redhead. It feels disrespectful.
-You two there! Hurry! -Akira shrinks and starts walking a little faster than me, well, he starts walking normally.
Fucking bastards.
Every seconds that pass, I feel more awkward being among this people, excepting Akira, of course. But the people behavior that makes me feel more nervous is the one of the soldiers. They had the opportunity to save someone by just pulling him inside, the demon bird was big, yeah. But with the guns we have we could have killed him. Ahhh... Whatever, who I am to think about that possibility when I had two chances to save the redhe... Rudowłosy.
Agh, my leg started to burn again.
-Kitt, I've noticed something -Akira walks a little bit back to stay next to my side. -We are divided on classes.
-Now that you mention it, I guess it makes more sense.
-Yeah... You're the sniper, I'm the medic, that no-arm guy looks like the scout... the others seem to be assault, and the persons who took the leadership seems to have a different type of gun...
Oh... I thought he was talking about other thing.
-The guns those two have are from the Elite. Maybe they got here by orders of Eunji.
-"Elite"...? I think I've heard about them... The Elite soldiers are Eunji personal soldiers...?
-Yeah. By the way, Akira, you seem to be doing better from that incident.
-Oh. Sorry. It just... I think it was the moment, I guess it is better for that guy to have a fast death so he doesn't go through what we are about to go through.
-Or sooner or later he was going to kill himself. -The no-arm said.
-Woah, welcome to the conversation.
-Sorry, it feels weird being around the others. My name is Damian.
-Hello, I'm Akira.
-Everyone stop! -One of the soldiers screamed.
-A demon! -Other guy just started to shoot at everywhere, one of the bullets hit me on the vest, luckily, it resisted, there's no wound...but my body collapsed.
-Calm down, it is just a statue. -The same voice who gave the stupid order said...
-K... Kitt! Are you alr...?
-Is breaking! -The people screaming is harming my ears. I'm sure it is not the first time something like this has happened to them, at least the half of them.
Akira gives me his hand so I can stand up, Damian helps him to put me against a tree to rest my body. The rain, the screams, and the rocks falling... I can see at the distance a fat and immense doberman, his skin seems to be like the one of an Egyptian cat. And for last, he has the pose of Buddha with the raised hand.
Clerish declared war on Sinny, a city in the middle of Clerish's other wars. After Clerish started to get serious, Sinny closes his borders so that no soul can escape from the monsters out of the Clerish's sleeve…
