42 Chapter 36 - Malignan (1/2)
”Am I going to be like that in the future?” Medusa asks.
”Oh, Medusa! Trust me you will be different. At least not exactly like them.” The boy gives her a weird smirk,
”Now, Let's continue. The first family went into the house with the second family. However the first family didn't have too many trusts with the second family because in this world everyone knows that people wouldn't do anything that will benefit others, but themselves. Because the first family did not have any ways to keep them alive, therefore, they still choose to go into the house with the second family. Not long of a trip before they come into the house; this is the third time the first family has gone into the house. However, the difference is that this time the creature that usually would come out from the ground and ask them question did not show themselves.
'Do you want some food?' The second father asks.
'Yes! Please! We haven't had anything to eat since last night; we are starving!' The first father eagerly replies.
'I see, the kids must be dying for food! Am I right little guy!' The second father looks down at the first family's kid and jokes.
'Yes! He is! I'm sorry, the little guy is shy around others.' The first father explains.
'Oh! Not a problem, mine too! I guess kids are only comfortable with who they know!' The second father agree.
'Yes...I think so too!' The first father cannot wait to get some food into his stomach; it was a rough night last night.
'Let me show you around the house, and the room you guys are staying in.' The second father acts like he is the owner of the house.
'Sure!' Even though the first father didn't have too much appreciation toward the second father because in his mind that everything the second father is doing is just all part of a pitfall that is set up to get a greater good from themselves.
The second father walks around the house like he knows the place very well; it's true because he has too much time on his hand when he solves his food and shelter problem. There is nothing better to do than exploring the house; it is like an adventure for him to search around the house. He thinks that since it is a big house own by the mysterious creature, it must have some treasure hidden around in the house somewhere waiting for him. He did not have the idea that he is just a guest in the home, and he shouldn't be going around and looking for things that are not his.” The boy pauses and turns around his head and explains to Medusa,
”Sometimes people are not just greedy, they are also sneaky, and don't know how to respect people. However, most of the time these kind of people are the weakest among the whole human race. Therefore, when you see a person like this, you don't have to treat them like a human being; you need to demonish them to save the world. Do you understand.”
”Yes, I got it! I don't like these people anyways.” Medusa agrees with the boy. At this moment, the innocent young girl is changing; she is accepting her inner self to let out her hate and anger.
”Anyways, the second father brings the first family to an empty room; it is a big and fancy room, nothing like the home they use to live. If they were to compare the first family's old house to this room, it is like comparing a barn to a royal family house. The first impression the first family has for the place is shocked because they have never seen something like this before. Then the second impression was that no wonder the creature offers such high price to get a room in this house.
'Now, you guys can stay in the room and relax for a bit; I'll bring you food in a second.' The second father suggests.
'Okay! Thank you so much!' The first father thank the second father.
'Not a problem! I'll be back!' The second father foreshadows.
After the second father leaves the room, the three people in the first family immediately jump onto the bed to get some rest because they haven't had much sleep since the day they started escaping from the wild beast. Even though the first father did want to keep an eye on the second father, but it's just too tired for him to stay awake and energetic; he needs to get some sleep and peaceful time to be prepared for the problem he is about to face.
The second father rushes down to the first floor to summon the creature to fulfill his wish. There is no food preparation for the first family; what he promised to the first family is just a lie to lower their guard and agrees to come in the house with him.
'I summon the creature from the underground world to fulfill my wish!' The second father keeps his voice low, trying not to alert the first family.
