2025-02-21 00:24:48They walked side by side, shooting at any monster they caught sight of. They realized that they could die easily when burnt and that could be their weapon of protection.
"It's such a long way down, therapist" the former began and she gnashed her teeth pissed off that he kept saying offensive words.
"We would get there soon" she assured smiling and he grimaced claiming that he was a retired soldier and such words meant it would take forever for them to reach. They had gotten to the 3rd floor already yet he still complained. Her eyes rolled, it found Steve once again which made her wonder why they always crossed path.
"Watch out!" She yelled but was it necessary because he had already killed the monster before it reached to him. The old man glanced at her with a smirk.
"Be careful of who you stay on the watch for, not everyone are human!" He barked and she glared at him.
"What do you mean?"
"Stop acting all naive, he's a murderer can't you see the way he slay that monster brutally?".
"You just can judge him because of the way he acts, that's one thing everyone misunderstand, hence it turns them to real monsters" she defended and the old let out a silent hiss and joggled down but she kept cautioning him to be careful and walk rather because of his health.
AT THE 12 FLOOR.
Ethan had returned claiming it was safe on the ground floor, the old man was glad that he was alive. Ethan had stopped by his room which looked dessert to change into new clothes not to frighten Edward and the kids.
"Brave huh?" Edward comment and Ethan's face became serious, the kids had woken up and refreshed. Luckily for them, there were some of his grandchildren's clothes left behind which fit them perfectly.
"Let's go" Ethan beckoned and the old man nodded while carrying tools that would be helpful. The kids were placed in the middle while Ethan watched from behind. Edward led the way as he gave signal of any creepy thing that pass by. They had almost reached the ground floor when bella gasped that she had forgotten her necklace in the room. It belonged to her mother and she couldn't let it get missing even though the old man insisted that she should forget about it.
"I will get it" Ethan declared and ran back immediately before the old man could refute him. He glanced at the girl who shuddered while holding her brother's hand.
"Are you bent on killing him with your demands? He needs love just as you too" the old man said and her brother began to cry because Edward looked scary when he scolds them. The old man gasped sharply and stared at the stairs up, he could see Ethan peeping on them but walked away when he realized the old man had seen him. No one was ever going to understand Ethan better than this old man does, he could see that this young lad was suffering from depression yet others sees him as a killer just because he never says his heart to them.
Steve got to the ground floor and everyone ceased from what they were doing as he being in their midst might be deadly, his eyes narrowed and he smirked in a mockery manner. He found what he was looking for. Meanwhile, the firefighter had taken Ethan to a rest room and gave him a punch.
"You knew about this!" She yelled angrily and he swallowed hard while straightening up as he felt pain where she hit.
"You got it all wrong" he defended bringing his phone out to show her a message.
"A scientist sent me this perhaps by mistake as he claims it some kind of curse but it was week ago, I had no idea that it would worsen" he furthered and she collected the phone from him.
"What makes you think I would believe your words?"
"You have to, I'm trying my best to ensure everyone safety..."
"We're all going to die, why don't you tell them that?"
"Yes but there would still be survivors and I would be a part of them!" He snarled widened his eyes at her as she explained that she went into his study room which was seperate from his apartment and found some documents which was relating to monsters.
"I did a research on them but couldn't find a cure, I didn't put in much interest because I didn't believe such things were happening..."
"Just shut up!"
"I have a way we could survive this..." He wasn't done when they heard loud scream and a gun shot. Quickly they rushed out and found Steve facing his gun in the air while everyone had moved aside. He paced towards Simon who was trying to hide himself from the vicious man. This man Steve, was causing choas in this place.
"Please help!" He cried and Edward yelled at Steve to keep it low and explained what the offense of this man was but Steve gave a deaf ear to his demand. The firefighter and Fidel watched Steve grab this man by the collar and intended to blow off his head but the bullets had finished and he resulted to punching of this man, he intended to give him the third blow when Arora stood in front of the bruised man to defend him. It seems everyone didn't care that Steve might kill this man if no one shows up to help as they were only concerned about themselves.
"Move!" Steve threatened almost shoving her aside and Fidel appeared beside her.
"I believe we need an explanation on what he did wrong" Fidel beckoned and Steve peeked at the man who had ran towards the firefighter for safety.
"It's not over!" Steve yelled and suddenly retreat, he ventured for the 10th floor which was the apartment of the young man Simon by name which he had beaten up.
"Told you he was a beast" the old man said aloud and Jessica eyed him, she wasn't concerned about what was going on even though they claimed the ground floor was safe, someone might turn into a monster!
