Martin place his heavy hand on his shoulder.
''Everything's going to be fine'' he reassured.
Ricky smirked and slumped his shoulders.
''How can you be so sure?'' he asked.
''I am not ''Martin cackled.
Ricky looked at him rather disapprovingly.
He started walking away from Martin.
''But you gotta try!''Martin cheered.
Ricky shook his head and kept walking.Martin followed him.These corns.
At the restaurant-
Jason woke up after a few minutes .He immediately jumped up .He frantically searched.He ran his fingers through his hair.He let out a heavy sigh.He took a bottle of water,whatever food item he found.He then looked around frantically.He went towards a table and yanked the silk cloth off of it.Bundling all the items in the silk cloth,off he went.However,his plan was ruined by none other than a huge ferocious monstua.A montua much like what Martin had saved him from ,was standing outside the window.He gave Jason a devilish smirk.Jason grabbed his bindle and ran towards the main kitchen.He gulped and breathed heavily as he locked the door .He heard the monstua approaching the kitchen.Then suddenly the footsteps seemed distant. A noise of something heavy hitting the floor was heard.The monstua looked at Grace's body.He was about to grab her when he suddenly wasn't all that interested in her dead body.''What's the fun in killing a dead!'' he grinned.
Outside-
Christy and Cindy were still in the middle nowhere.''So where do we find this Martin guy.''Cindy asked.
''Um...I don't know I think I came the wrong way''Christy stuttered.
''What do you mean?''
''I mean ,he tried to get away from us right? He wanted to be somewhere..''Christy started.
''There was an abandoned train nearby an-''
''There is a train?!''Cindy interrupted
''Was,but after Martin disappeared...''Christy trailed off
''The train disappeared with him.''Cindy concluded.
''Yes''Christy sighed.
''And you...''
''I went the other.I took the other road.''Christy admitted.
''But hey,that's how I found you,right?''Christy said.
Cindy said nothing.
''Right?Am I right?''Christy hesitantly said.
''Where did you see this train''Cindy asked sternly.
''When something is tangled and you can't find it's starting point where do you look?'' Cindy asked.
''At the ending''Cindy answered herself.
''You find your way from the ending''she concluded.
''So?''
''If we could go to the station we could find where it's headed.'' She explained.
''Oh.That's...''
''That's a great idea.We could find Martin!'' Christy cheered.
''It's not far from the restaurant''she said.
''Okay,do you know you're way back ?' 'Cindy asked.
Christy nodded.
''Okay,then let's move'' Cindy said.
After walking for hours they decided to rest.The sun was up.Early morning birds were chirping.Cindy stretched her arms in relaxation.Christy plopped on the ground.''Let's get some rest now''Christy sighed.
''I am thirsty ,I will get some water from the river''Cindy said
''Okay!''Christy chirped.
Cindy walked along the blonde grass.The blades of grass made rustling noise as her sandals touched it.She spread her arms in the air,looking up at sky.The sun had just risen.She inhaled in the cold yet warming breeze.Then she walked again.Until she heard some noise.
''That must be the river''she smiled to herself.
She got on her knees as she dipped her bottle into the river.
When the bottle was filled to her need,she got it out .Little streams rolled down her fingers.The slippery hand made the bottle slip.She panicked and held with both her hands.She placed it gently on the ground.She wiped off left hand on her jeans.Then her right hand .She sighed in relief.And was finally ready to go back to Christy.That's when she realised there is no cap on the bottle.Her eyes frantically looked here and there.''Shucks,where do I find it now?''she said to herself.
She held the bottle close to her chest with both hands.Almost as if she was holding a baby.She started walking in search of the cap.After walking barely ten steps she found it.''Ugh''she grunts.
She leaned down to pick it up.As she looked at the ground she noticed a banana on the ground.Cindy stood up.She walked towards the banana and picked it up without hesitation.She had a playful smile on her face.'Maybe I could find more useful stuff here'.
As she made up her mind she walked more deeper into the jungle.She was in clear sight.The road was straight and open.Christy could find her easily ,if she got worried about her,Cindy thought.So,she decided to explore just a little more.Why? because she found more free food lying around that's why.She grinned as she picked up another useful item.A wooden log.''Could use it for hitting those tiny monstuas''She said.Suddenly something happened,with a blink of an eye.
Cindy's wakes up to a blank.Just plain black colour in front of her eyes.Little by little the blank splits in two.First a thin line of colour.Then the line got thicker.The line took over the blank place,the space was now colourful.But it was all blurred.
''Why can't I see anyth-''she was interrupted by a sucker punch.
''Aaaah''Cindy screamed.
After the pain from her cheek seemed to have faded,she slowly opened her eyes.The vision was finally clear.The blur was all gone.But what she saw , made her adrenaline rush.She took deep breaths to calm herself down.The person who punched her was gone.But what she saw she never thought she would.
A bunch of gigantic monstuas were dancing around in a circle.They were probably cheering and maybe it was a happy dance.But their voices made it seem like they were screaming.Then a little monstua came near the circle,it smiled so bad that now Cindy was convinced that they were celebrating something.But what?
Cindy looked down towards her own foot.The little monstua smiled at her.Cindy smiled back.The little monstua clawed at her leg and ran away.''Aaaagh''Cindy screamed.Her screaming caught the attention of the dancing monstuas.They slowed down but continued to dance.Cindy looked at them as they looked at her.Soon she realised what they were celebrating.
''You people are celebrating....death of a human''Cindy stuttered in shock.
Cindy gulped and tried to stop herself from crying.
''Th-there's a person hung...to rrr-roast?''she stuttered through her sobs.It was left to burn after their dancing and drinking was over.
After sobbing some more ,Cindy went out like light.
She woke up to warmth.Sweat ran down her stomach,making her feel ticklish.She involuntarily moved her hand towards her belly,to wipe off the sweat.But it didn't move.She tried again.But she had little energy left in her.So just gave up.She sighed turned her head.Her eyes widened in horror.Her chest was moving up and down,sweat running even more.Her heart felt like it was about to explode.Her throat soon became heavy.She tried to hold back her tears .
''Please,stop it.Please leave me ,please ''she cried.
''Please god ,please don't do this to me''she kept screaming .But it seemed like no one understood her words.Either that or they were too cold hearted to even react.
CH4
''So where are we going?''Rodney asked Martin
''To talk to the monstuas''Martin answered
Rodney went cold at his footsteps
''W-What the heck are you talking' 'bout big guy? ''Rodney said
''Are you nuts!''
''Yes I am ''Martin said.
''No,I don't wanna no ,you can go ahead.I am just glad that they haven't killed us yet.I like to keep it that way pal''Rodney declared.
''Fine.''Martin said in his manly voice.
A huge gate opened in front of Martin.Leaves made a crackling noise as Martin's boots made contact with them.There were all kinds of monstuas around.With there deformed bodies they all looked the same yet differ
ent.Cause everyone had a different color there was a group that was dull green colored.And then there was a group that were huge,clean white colored body,and bright red eyes ,almost eight foot tall.
A charcoal coloured monstua stepped in front of Martin.''What brings you here in our territory?''the monstua said in raucous voice.Startled Martin looks at the creature standing in front of him .
''Where the hell did you come from ?''Martin asked looking over the monstua's shoulder.
There stood a gigantic palace-like thing .
''How the hell did -that was not there last week!''Martin cried in astonishment
''We built it ''the monstua replied.
After a few seconds Martin broke his silence.
''I need to speak with you'' he said
Inside the monstua's palace
''So why are you monstuas killing us?''Martin asked
''Monstuas that's what you call us?''the monstua asked .His voice echoing in the palace.Martin looked around once again.
the monstua cackled.His eyes teared up from laughing.He started breathing heavily.He bent down to place his hands on his knees.His laughing stopped.His torso straightened up.His expression suddenly serious.As if he wasn't the one laughing just now.His arms behind his back,his head held high ,he said to Martin ''You people are the monsters''
The monstuas cold voice sent chills down Martin's spine.
''And 'creatures' like YOU should be killed''the monstua continued in a cold voice.
''Why do want to kill us?''Martin asked again
''Because....''the monstua trailed off
Martin keenly waited for an answer
''Because we want to'' the monstua smirked.
''Well....can't we cut a deal?''Martin asked confidently
''You are a lot a like us humans right?''Martin continued
The monstua smirked again
'' Like humans? We are humans'' the monstua growled
''What are you saying ,we don't go killing people for no reason,I mean a lot of criminals do but not the whole human race okay?''Martin protested
''You killed our lives as humans.And now we are forced to live this way.YOU made us monster !''the monstua growled again.
Martin was stunned to hear what he heard.
''So...its humans Vs humans ''Martin sighed.
''That's the way it is''the monstua declared.
''But you gained from it didn't you,you got an upgrade!''Martin smirked
''Some of us''Monstua said sternly.
Martin's smirked faded .
''Those people you saw outside .They lost their ability to talk,to hear''the monstua said.
''I was one of those few lucky people who got success in the experiment'' he said
''What do you mean experiment?''Martin asked
''The experiment that was supposed to make us....''monstua paused
''Immortal'' he said.
Martin was taken aback at the words he just heard.
His eyes widened in shock.Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.He gulped and wiped his forehead with his hand.
''Old me would have said this is bullshit.But here I am talking with one of those whom I have been .....''Martin trailed off
''Killing ''the monstua completed Martin's sentence.
While Martin was toying with his life,Jason was struggling with his own.He was inside the meat locker .Breathing heavily .He hid under the one counter that was present.As soon as his warm skin came in contact with cold steel he startled.He curled up,bringing his knees to his chest.He started rocking his body.He sat there for almost ten to fifteen minutes.Yet it seemed like hours to him.He sat there ,miserable.Like a scared child.
One day,two days, three days have passed.Jason is still stuck in the meat locker.The monstuas have made the place their home now.For four days,everyday Jason thought he can finally get out ,only to get his hopes crushed.He was hungry and thirsty .He needs to get out of the freezer to stay alive but wouldn't be alive if he did go outside.
'I am dead either way'he thought.
He frantically searched for water.There was frozen ice formed at the edges of the meat.He walked walked towards it.Reluctantly he sucked the ice eventually biting it off.He kept the ice inside the warmth of his mouth . The ice melted into water and he gulped it.He sighed in relief.
Back at the forest,Christy was worried about Cindy.
''Where the hell did she go..... '' she whispered to herself.Looking around she started walking in search of Cindy.
''ughh'' she grunted while stretching her arms.
She sighed and left in search of Cindy.Dried grass made sounds as she stepped on it cautiously with her sneakers on.Cold wind blew across her face.''Acchoo'' she sneezed.
''Damn,I slept too long it seems'' she said to herself.She rubbed both her arms with her palms for some warmth.
Her teeth chattered as she looked around and up to the sky.
''It's getting dark....''she said under her breath.
She walked inside the forest.Deeper and deeper,but no trace of Cindy.She looked around for if she could find any clue....anything that would explain Cindy's disappearance.But all she saw was tall tress,dried grass and darkness.The forest seemed like any other forest,peaceful.Christy sighed and turned to go back.Suddenly she felt something under her shoes.She felt something big,it was not a candy wrapper or paper .It was something strong and tall ,like a huge shoe.She ignored the junk and walked forward.The junk made her trip and fall on the ground.
''Ouch!'' she exclaimed.
She moved her arm towards her ankle and started rubbing it to soothe it.Her arm suddenly moved away from her ankle as she crawled backwards in horror.The ''junk'' that she tripped over was what looked like a human arm.She screamed and tried to hold her tears .Droplets of sweat ran through her neck down towards her collarbone.Her pinkish pale skin glistening in the moonlight.She crawled and crawled back until she hit a tree.She rested her back and the back of her head against the tree.She burst into tears ,she tried not to make any noise but this only made her cries worse.A tiny figure stood in the shadows,near the human arm.Christy's cries slowly lowered in intensity.She still kept crying but in the way that people would think she has hick- ups.The tiny strode towards her.Christy immediately got on her feet,encircling her arms around the tree,almost as if the tree was going to protect her.The monstua grinned at her in the most devilish way possible.
The monstua swung his ferocious deadly hands at her.Christy kicked him in the face .This made the monstua groggy and Christy got a chance to run.But unfortunately she ran straight.She once again tripped over the human arm and once again the monstua was standing in front of her,only this time he looked furious.The human arm was right under Christy's legs.She slowly crawled back a little.She shut her eyes ready to feel pain.But she didn't ,the monstua was still deciding how to kill her.She unknowingly had brought the arm with her ,under her legs.Her palms searched frantically for something,anything ,anything that would help her get away from the scary monstua.She held onto the arm on the ground and slammed it onto his face .The force was enough to stagger him ,it was obvious that the little monstua didn't see it coming.He was more than staggering ,he was surprised at the attack.As he was trying to figure out how to fight back,Christy hit him again with the human hand,and then again,and one last one......he was unconscious now ,lying on the cold ground.Suddenly a huge droplet hit Christy's forehead,making Christy jump a little.She looked up to the dark ,starry black sky.A drop of water dipped into her eyes.She shut her eyes whilst shaking her head.She wiped her eye as more drops of water made their way to the ground and onto her body.
''Oh,shit.''she whispered to herself.Even though she had realised that it was raining now,she tried to wipe off her face.In the process,bringing the severed human arm to her face.
''Aaagh!''she screamed as she threw the arm away.She sighed and gulped.Her shoulders slumped,her head down,she cried and cried.But her screams were overpowered by the heavy rain.Dejected,she slowly made her way out of the fo
rest.Ignoring,in the process,someone else's cries.Not too far from where the little monstua had showed up,Cindy was sitting near a tree.Rather,stuck to the tree.Her mouth covered with a dirty cloth,tightly tied.Lone tear shined at the corner of her eye.She shut her eyes tight,feeling the same feeling with what Christy had left,dejection.Tear rolled down her fair skin with pinkish undertones.The lone tear dried up when it made contact with the dirty cloth at her mouth.Her last hope was gone.The one person in the whole world that knew her,one that she trusted,she loved and cherished;who loved her back, was gone.....
Not knowing that her friend who was more like a family to her was right there,waiting for help.Christy had left without having the slightest of idea that her friend was right there.She was so close to saving her,but fate had other plans.
Depressed Cindy sat tied to the tree,soaked.While the monstuas were dancing near a bonfire.The sight made her cringe.While she was occupied with her depressing thoughts, a sudden appearance of someone slapped a bright smile on her face.
''Anton'' she beamed with joy.
She was so happy to see her son that she didn't notice the fact that he was different person than the last she saw him.
He was no longer that boy who had fair skin with pink undertones,who had cute smile,who loved his mother dearly.He was graphite skinned with creases seen all over the body,and crimson veins creeping up his body like a vine.Cindy couldn't stop smiling but her son wasn't feeling the same.He was lookin way different than his original self.She was filled with happiness and motherly love while he seemed indifferent.After a few minutes,she finally realised the reality that stood in front her wasn't the same as the reality that she remembered. He looked away and closed his eyes as if meditating. Soon there were four monstuas running in his direction,not to attack but to listen.As soon as they halted ,they looked at Cindy,the herd came closer and closer.Her heartbeat ran faster and faster.She gulped as her son spoke to them.Her brows snapped together as she noticed her son's voice.It was more of a noise than a voice.It sounded more like a howl.She gulped as she realised what was going on.Her son wasn't the same anymore.He lost his voice.But somehow was able to speak to them.Another one of the monstuas started making same sort of noise as they nodded in agreement to whatever the hell her son was saying to them.
