Chapter 53:Unreasonable (1/2)
”Ssshhh, lower your voice, Mr. Cal. We are going for a rescue mission.” Said Almina as she sneak-in inside the medical tent where Yman was currently laying.
”!!” Mr. Cal was puzzled. He wondered who was in need of rescue here.
Cal mumbled. He added while shaking his metallic tiny head, and lifted his robotic hands at both sides.
Noticing that there's no other person inside, she breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ran to the side of the resting person.
Almina stared at his sleeping face. She could not believe that she had the chance to stare at him this close.
In her mind, she thought that he was so tired just looking at how messed-up he looks at the moment. His breathing was deep and his eyes seemed like he had a lack of sleep. Almina felt something poking her heart seeing how tired he looked. She wanted to help him.
Almina was unaware that at the moment, her face was burning in red. But while looking at his resting face, she couldn't avert her eyes anymore, until her face slowly moved on its own towards the sleeping face of Yman. Her throat made a slight movement when she gulped and cleared something in it.
She felt like some invisible magnetic force was pulling her face towards him, and was inside a separate world where no one inside except the two of them. His words that day are still fresh in her memories.
The scene of that certain day had automatically replayed in her memory, their first encounter.
Five-years-old Almina was sitting on her usual seat in the park. Being the daughter of the famous Amulet family, she was treated like a princess. Ten maids would follow her wherever she goes. Only at school that she could find herself breathing away from her maids.
Yet even in school, she was always surrounded by friends. There's really no space for her to be alone.
However, on that specific day, as usual, together with her friends, they went to the park to play. Almina lost track of time, and the sun started to set. Her friends started to say goodbye and left one after another. When Almina finally left alone, she noticed that the surrounding was already dark. And now she was alone inside the park. When she checked the time on a watch inside her shoulder bag, it was written 6:10 pm.
At a young age, she was always afraid of the dark. Almina was so afraid to move; therefore, she remained in her position while sobbing.
A moment later, she heard an eerie growling sound from behind her.
Almina slowly glanced behind, but what greeted her was two red eyes, dripping in sticky saliva razor-sharp fangs. And a smell of rotting flesh and blood.
”H-Hybrid Mad Do —” after muttering such words she lost her consciousness in too much fear.
What follows next, she was awakened by the sensation of something touching her lips. When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by a pair of shocked wide eyes of a young boy while his lips were on top of her.
