He played a beautiful melody, one she'd recognize anywhere. It was almost too perfect to be real. If she didn't know better, she'd think someone had recorded the music to send anonymously to the world. When she caught herself doing so, she immediately tried to push the thought away.The song came to an end and she watched as the man bowed slightly to the crowd, receiving numerous applause. As he started towards the exit, she noticed an attractive young woman standing on one of the topmost staircases watching him as well. They were close enough together for Annabelle to see that the woman's features were quite similar to hers – dark curly hair and wide green eyes. She had a beautiful tan complexion and seemed very proud and confident.When the man reached the bottom of the staircase the stranger offered him a small polite smile and nodded at him once before turning away. Her presence lingered on Annabelle's thoughts for a moment longer and then the woman disappeared into one
be the case”“If that's what you want to believe, then that's fine by me,” Emily said softly.“I'm glad to hear that” Annabelle said, hugging Emily briefly before heading back towards her room. Bali watched her curiously, wondering how long they had talked together and what she had told him.“Well, what did she want anyway?” Bali sighed and crossed his arms, leaning back against the wall next to the bathroom door.“She wanted to know how things were, apparently. About you” Emily answered.“Things are going great, why?”Emily rolled her eyes at Bali's obvious sarcasm “She just wants to know what kind of people Chris likes. I think she might like him...or at least like spending time together with him”“Yeah…” Bali snorted sarcastically “I guess that's normal for someone who goes to parties all the time to spend time with other people”Emily glared angrily at him but didn't respond, instead simply opening the bathroom door so she could change out of her wet clothes.He closed his eyes fo
”“We can handle the danger”“Do you honestly think we can take on that bastard of a brother of mine without any problems? I mean seriously, Bali, he's crazy dangerous! If we meet him, we will surely die and I don't want you to die because of my fault! Please...don't risk your lives for my sake”“But...”“No buts. Let's drop the subject okay? We have to focus on getting back what's ours! If you keep wasting time arguing over something stupid that I can easily solve then you will never find it”The twins sighed deeply and sat down on the couch across each other. They were silent, lost in thought.A few minutes later Annabelle opened the door and stepped into the apartment, carrying the bag with the camera in it that she had bought. She stopped and looked up to see Emily sitting opposite Bali in the living room. Both of their faces were pale, neither knowing what had happened. Annabelle cleared her throat awkwardly.“Hi Annabelle” Emily greeted. “I hope you enjoyed yourself?” she asked,
As they drew closer, the sounds of screaming grew louder. By the time they reached the city, they saw a huge crowd of zombies, many moving in large groups.“There they are,” Bali pointed to a group of several dozen people fighting off zombies while others ran to get help.“Let’s go”* * *They made it safely to the barricade without any issues and hid until the coast was clear. When they emerged, they noticed the crowds of zombies were thinning a bit, and they started towards their destination.A little further along and they could see the city gates opening.As they approached the entrance to the city, they spotted a couple men, looking at them curiously. It seemed as though the citizens hadn't caught sight of them yet. The stranger stepped up to them. The shorter of the two men looked to him first and nodded. Then he turned to the stranger “Hello sir”“Hello” the stranger responded“We haven't seen you since last night, were you able to find somewhere safe to spend the night?”“Yea
The soldier then turned around and kicked the other man in the shin, sending him flying onto the floor, clutching his leg in pain.He looked over to see the stranger, holding onto the soldier with surprising strength. The soldier glared, but he still let go as the stranger released his hold on him, letting him fall to the floor. He quickly turned around and rushed to his men who were struggling with the injured man who was now moaning in pain on the floor. He kneeled down beside the patient and placed the mask onto the man's face.When everything seemed ready, the soldier motioned for the others to grab the man and lift him into the truck, but as they moved to do so, one of them noticed something odd, as soon as they touched the man, the skin changed colour, changing from white and grey, to red, then to black. It didn't even take a second before the soldier dropped the man on the ground.In seconds, he was gone and in its place was a giant, blood red beast. It roared loudly as it stoo
The stranger's head snapped around to look at the girl standing in front of him, a slight smile playing across her lips“You are Japanese?” she asked“Yes, I have lived here for almost my whole life” he replied softly, a small smile played across his face as well.Kwanji walked closer to him, placing her hands on his shoulders “So are you one of the people who saved the town?” She asked softlyThe man nodded in confirmation.“Are your injuries okay?” she asked, looking him over for any kind of wound.“I'm fine” he assured “thank you for asking though” he added, giving her a small smile“It's no problem” she responded “well, I’ve gotta be heading home” she said, glancing towards the houseThe stranger frowned slightly as he watched her leave. He knew he should get back home too, but he wanted to stick around to make sure she was okay. If she wasn't okay, and he left now, he knew his presence would bring unwanted attention. And although he hadn't seen a lot of action yet, he knew it wou
“Well then, it seems like everything worked out perfectly” Shiro sighedThey began to talk about everything that happened that night, starting from the moment the stranger appeared to the attack by the monsters. Shiro couldn't stop himself from thinking about how he got himself caught and sent to the other side of the country. At first he was worried, but after talking to the others, the feeling of concern subsided a bit. Now he felt somewhat relieved knowing that Shiro had survived.After the talk ended, they moved to another part of the house, where everyone drank water, talked, ate and occasionally chatted.The day was quite peaceful, so when the sun started setting, Kwanji suggested that they should go watch the sunset, as it would be something that they will never forget. Everyone agreed as they headed towards the edge of the woods. After passing by some tents and tents where they had stayed earlier, they arrived at an area where the sunset glow lit up the surroundings. As they g
Bali and Levi stood on the bodies of the dead zombies they just finished battling . They were both covered in blood, so much that it made them look like they were wearing black turtlenecks. They looked each other over.“I think we did good today.” said Levi with a satisfied grin. He was still wearing his shades despite having already taken them off during their fight. “I’ve never actually killed anything before. It feels good to be able to get rid of all these damn things. I didn’t even know you could go into this mode.”He took off his glasses and put them back into his pocket. The sunglasses had been there for years; he simply got used to wearing them after being around Levi for so long. He was pretty sure his eyes would hurt if he tried to take them off anymore than once or twice.He nodded in agreement as he removed his gloves too.Levi continued. “But I guess we can come back here again another time. We should probably head home soon.” He looked up at the sun in the sky. “It
