Chapter 29
Char stands there, motionless. I cock an eyebrow, and she smiles, "You get first attack."
I run towards her, elbow drawn back. I quickly push myself left, to prevent a predictable attack. She turns, and blocks my swing with her sword. I repeat, using most of my arm's strength to aim at her stomach. She looks me in the eye, and for a split second, her left eye turns red. I squint, but shake it off, and continue striking.
Suddenly, my body freezes. It happened again. Her left eye turned red.
"What's wrong? Can't handle hand to hand combat?" she asks.
"It's not really hand to hand if you're using swords, but I don't think I want to fight you anymore." I answer.
"Why not?" she asks, amusement filling her face.
"You're too sketchy. But, hey. I didn't know your eye turns red." I say.
Her face flushes red, before becoming angry. "W-what? No, red eyes are for hideous demons such as yourselves!" she yells.
"Oh, really? Than how can a normal human like you suddenly become so powerful? No mortal could possible posses such strength, Miss Fancy Pants." I say.
She looks afraid and hopeless, but the look fades away. "Sure, you've caught me. I'm half Unknown. What are you going to do about it? You won't survive the next week. So I don't even know the purpose of your struggling. If I were you, I would want to die at this point. That's a perk about you." she says.
"Who says I don't?" I ask, suddenly filled with depression.
"Eh? What's that?" she asks, smiling.
I glare into her eyes, "Who says I don't want to die?"
"Jemma-" Ali starts.
"Why don't you come with me? We could make that happen. Besides, the King wants to start over with this world, and the first start to the New Beginning is your death. It would make our jobs much easier." she says, holding out her hand.
I lay my hand in hers, and she smiles, "Thank you for your cooperation. We will start-" she starts, but i push her down, pushing her hands down with my knees and my sword at her throat.
"You people have made my life living hell. You think after all you've done to me, I'll just die like that? Don't make me laugh. Now, you should tell more information about this 'New Beginning', before I cut your head off." I say, smiling.
She sweats, and looks around rapidly, before giving in. "Fine. The king's army has been ordered by Your Highness himself to give every being in this world a shot. But it's not an ordinary one, it'll slow their heartbeat, leading to their death. Once everyone is dead, total of five hundred twenty, he is planning on creating artificial life, where everything is completely peaceful, like it was before you showed up." she says.
"That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard! These people are real! Why have fake ones, with no feelings?" I yell.
"Because, our King believes everyone deserves complete peace. It'll be wonderful." for a second, she almost sad, "But unfortunately, I will not be amongst the ones who'll survive the New Beginning. But I'm a believer of complete peace, so I'll do anything-" I smack her in the face.
"You moron!" I yell. "There's no such thing as complete peace. Even if it did exist, it wouldn't even feel like peace to the people here. Life would be like being living rocks. You don't do anything!" I yell.
"Knock it off. You're the one being unintelligent." she snaps her fingers, "The King will take care of you." she says, and two men walk out of the forest, wearing grey suits. They lift me off Char, and my sword slips out of my hand, left on the ground. I punch and kick, struggling to be free, then Char comes up with a shot. "This won't affect you, unfortunately, but it'll have to do." she says, inserting it into my arm. The last thing I saw was Ali removing the umbrella from her face, before everything went black.
