Part 1

I am just someone in this big world, I can see myself as a 19 year old who is already entering university with his best friend, I have my family like mom and dad and other loved ones, my name was 'Zeck He had left home a few hours ago just to go out to the park, he was wearing a green jacket with white stripes, long black pants and normal hoes, curly brown hair, he was not interested in the type of shoe or car like these young people of today since this year is 2007 and I would not say that it is the golden age so to speak, going through the streets of Guaynabo in Puerto Rico I was able to reach the abandoned children's park, which I remember when I was 5 years old and this park It was for use by Kindergarten children, but certainly that school had closed just like the park Only in these 3 years the park was used by teenagers or people who knew about this place, to hang out or have a mini alcohol party, but today I don't find many people, just teenagers or people out there talking about what they couldn't gossip

"Today there are few people? But still there is a lot of garbage, mostly alcohol or champagne. What a disgrace?"

I would say while looking around my surroundings finding bottles of alcohol on the ground which I disliked a bit because they didn't put things in the garbage can or reserve it for a supply, in that I would look at my shadow noticing that someone was about to hug me but I couldn't react quickly before being hugged from behind

"Don't say that! After all we came here to talk like best friends, besides you don't have babies right"

Someone would say while hugging me calmly with a smile turning out to be my best friend of life who was waiting for me here in this park, he had black hair, with a different hair style besides having a little hair on his chin since he is older than me, he wore normal clothes to go out for a while, the difference was that he had a basketball shirt from his favorite team

"What time did you get here!?"

"I was here the whole time you bastard! Plus I live nearby if you remember"

"Oh, true"

I would pronounce with shame, remembering that my fiend could get to this park so quickly since he lived near this place, so he would have time to get there quickly, leaving my feeling of shame still aside, he separated me from the hug and we walked together while we usually talked like every day

"Hey, speaking of garbage? Don't blame people too much, there may be people who don't bathe for a week and those are the worst, counting those who move Manuela"

"Let's not talk about you Jandiel! When I went to your house and entered your room there was only post of muscular men who are actually your favorite basketball players. I almost thought you liked men!"

"That's an exaggeration isn't it? Plus you don't clean up your room because you're a lazy piece of shit!"

"Well, bastard, are you still looking for a job besides continuing to live with your parents!?"

I got a little angry at what he had said since now we tell each other the truth about who is the most lazy or idiot in his own house

"Yeah! Let's put this aside, we are the same compared to others"

I would say with a calm face suddenly changing my attitude to stop fighting before talking about certain important things with 'Jandiel which is the name of my best friend

"What are you going to do when you get to the university? Today is Saturday and we have another day to do something until Monday, when we will enter the university"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I'm nervous… since it will be our first time at the university. New education? New regulations? New study? But the only thing I think about is finishing the university and knowing if I can graduate"

I was speaking a little nervous in my tone and it is because I was not doing well in some things of the study, knowing that the university is something superior, that is why I am thinking that this will be difficult for me in my life, I spend a few moments of silence for second until Jandiel hesitated and answered my question

"I'm just like you. Maybe I can't graduate because I'm not so smart or a brainiac? But maybe I graduated here in real life or in my dreams as a wish…"

"You think... Dreaming isn't much fun when it's not a reality or something real"

I would say a bit of mockery but even having that face and calm tone for fun, something that reassured me and him

"Forget it! After all I can dream that I am Paola's boyfriend"

"Yes of course and in my dreams I'm Christopher Columbus. Come on! Maybe you'll have a chance this time, after all you didn't talk to her after 8 months and now she'll be at the university with you"

I would try to motivate my best friend since as I remember he doesn't talk much about Paola who he liked since high school but he didn't have the time for her to confess to her

"Maybe it's my chance! That's what I'd say if she knew me of my existence…"

Jandiel would say sad and crying comically on the shoulder of my jacket which tears were falling from it, which I disliked since it stained my clothes a little although it was not much, but this was my favorite jacket, I moved it a little from my shoulder before speak with annoyance

"Yes... Yes... Yes... stop crying because your tears are staining my jacket, if you continue I'll break that dream of Paola and you with my blow grinding your fucking face, bastard"

"Sorry! Also, you heard on today's news there are people disappearing, they mostly disappear at night. Something really strange? I hope they find the one who does this?"

Jandiel would seriously ask something that confused me people disappearing in Puerto Rico was not very common especially women since certain problems occurred with kidnappings on this island

"How many were there? Were they only women?"

"If you think it was a kidnapping of women, I must tell you no, it is something different since they are people, they kidnapped 3 men and 2 women this week, officials such as the police released the age of those people as well as their names, but They don't know who is kidnapping them or if they know if they are alive. Something strange for me if I think about it?"

"Specifically, what street or city did that happen?"

"Only the center or the square of Guaynabo these events happened. Still you asked me? What conclusion or reason does this have to kidnap people?"

"Is the center of Guaynabo close to here? But the square is something different, it's only a few kilometers to get there, maybe they use transportation"

"I thought so when I first heard it, but maybe it's different people working together to do this?"

This would cause me more doubts within myself as to how this could happen. In addition, Jandiel said that it was this week where 5 people had been kidnapped, something that would endanger the plaza like the center of Guaynabo, which is near here, and that could put danger to those who live there in peace, they must put more security in this type of dangerous situation, and the police must be doing something about this problem

"Hey, what time can you play basketball with the boys?"

Jandiel would ask leaving the problem aside for a moment so as not to disturb the atmosphere of this conversation

"I think I can't? You know I'm not very good at basketball I'm not like you, but I'll try to go with you on the court"

"I see! Even if you're bad at basketball, try to practice."

"Yes… stop saying basketball we are not speaking English to be literal with your basketball fanaticism"

I would say with a serious expression towards Jandiel who just ignored me while he laughed

While we were walking through the park talking about various things, something strange had happened, a girl whose face I couldn't see brushed against my shoulder, missing me since she just ignored the cause and kept walking, I just turned back to look at her, she had a short black hair and peculiar girl clothes

I could only know about her hair and her clothes, nothing more about her, but I kept walking with my best friend, ignoring the cause and action of fate.

Part 2

I was in my house which my parents had bought just for me to live in peace while I was at university, for now I was in my laptop in my bed calmly, I was just looking at some university reports that I had already read

This could be something normal when you enter the university to graduate and finally have your quiet life with which you can live

Although he asked me, when I finish university, what will I do with my life?

It was the questions in my mind just staring at the report on the computer screen until I had some idea to leave those questions behind

I can get a bit of information with the kidnapping incidents on the web, maybe that can tell a lot about what is going on.

He removed me from the report and I start to go to the web just to write and type the correct letters only to find the links of the kidnappings in Puerto Rico and Guaynabo de la plaza

I could see the kidnapped, the reports of these, only their names and their age was the only thing, not all of it was information that I could find, I could see only little information in which it took me about 20 or 28 minutes, with which I retracted and stopped searching. the information I obtained was only those of the kidnapped, nothing more

At least I resolved my doubts about the kidnapping incident

I sighed before setting my laptop aside on my bed and getting out of bed and going to the fridge to look for food which I could only find little food that wouldn't satisfy my hunger.

"Mom and dad gave me some money to buy food that will last me for 6 months… Should I buy fast food instead?"

I would say to myself hungry while my belly roared like a lion inside a cage so I got ready I dressed in some clothes to go out only with the same jacket that I wore before leaving my house, I had the money as the savings in my pocket kept under a wallet with the color and design of one of the American football teams

I also left and went to the Plaza de Guaynabo since there should be a fast food store there and I hoped to arrive quickly since it was at night at least 8:52 PM

Part 3

You could see a girl with an Asian face with a completely black shirt except for her sleeves, which were white with black stripes, she had an equally black skirt as well as black hair and short hair, the difference in this girl is that she apparently had a sword or well said for the details a katana that could measure equal to the size of his leg

The girl was apparently on the roofs of the neighborhood apparently trying to look for something or something but she did not find anything in the sight of this

In that she would hear a sound from a phone which would take out a 'Nokia 81 phone and it would be a call that she would be receiving and so quickly she would press the button to answer in a Japanese accent

"Haro? Dare ga"

I could only hear the pronunciations of the call of the person next to that call

"I understand, it took a long time. Where is it? I'll be there in a few minutes"

After that conversation, the girl cut off the call and kept her phone, while she firmly gripped the sheath of her katana and jumped through the air an incredible leap and several kilometers reaching several roofs.

"I've been there twice already and I still can't find it... maybe it's there this time as they told me"

The same girl would think doubtfully as she kept jumping from roof to roof to roof of the neighborhood until she left the street and went to the square.

part 4

I could find myself in the square on the way to the store while I was walking I was thinking about various things such as the doubts that I now had

I was alone and there is no one, maybe someone passes by but I don't see any person passing by or a car I can only hear the sounds of the coquí and the moonlight gives light to any dark place, I took out my phone every time to see the time since it was 9:18 PM

It was night and I continued my way to the square to get to the store

What would happen if they kidnapped me like the others, well, I should be insured. I have my phone and I can call the police at any time, besides, I had a bit of self-defense practice and I'm a boxer who had basic practices, at least I can defend myself. with what I have learned

But what if this doesn't help? Will I be able to defend myself from some murderers, kidnappers? Can I help someone?

I could already imagine several causes for which I am stupid imagining those actions and comparing it to reality would only be an inconceivable hindrance in this situation and in others.

I would stop thinking about that since I had arrived at the store in the square, in addition to looking at the ground all the time thinking that I remembered the way, when I raised my head my face was of pure surprise to see how the entrance was destroyed as it was a great beast will enter that could not enter

Coming out of my surprise the store was dark but I could see a little that almost everything inside was separated or destroyed, I took out my phone while I dialed 911 and entered the store slowly my shoes made the glass of the store creak on the floor I was advancing slowly while I could hear 2 sounds

The first a crunch as if it were the meat of a victim or an animal with large teeth breaking the bones, the second was the call from my phone to 911 which I could only hear the voice of someone asking for the service

Already at that moment I could see what destroyed the store and devoured the store assistant, a large thing or mass of white skin and spikes or scales on its back and it had 4 legs being a quadruped and moved to each side like his jaw moved, I was shocked for a few moments before reacting and slowly taking steps back while still hearing the voice of the 911 attendant

But it was not a lucky moment when I made the same windows of the store creak, something that gave me goosebumps since that Monster or beast I do not know how to identify it turned slowly with a sound of growling while in its jaws it had a dismembered arm that the he himself had devoured

"Fuck you!?"

He would utter the only words he had in mind before running in horror while I could hear the scandalous roar of that beast that made me cover my ears because apparently he wanted to pop them.

"RROOOOGGWWWW!?

I could hear the footsteps of the monster behind me it was not very fast and maybe it could reach me at any moment, my heart was beating fast

I had to leave the square and it wasn't far that I could get there, the only thing I had to do is separate myself from that creepy thing and I can remember that we are near a street where there is an entire neighborhood but there are not many people in common who live there like this that could go

I began to rush at full speed towards that neighborhood even though that Monstrous thing or whatever was behind me.

I just need time but I do something to save time, at that moment my mind connected to my neurons to plan a plan at this moment while the adrenaline was in my veins

I started to look at the place while running and I could find it parked and uninhabited, maybe they left it there so I started running towards that car to get under it where I could see the mechanism like the metal of the car itself

At that moment, the white-skinned monster approached the car to smell it with perspective, but he tensed up when he identified the smell and he only clenched the car with his teeth and jaw and threw it forcefully towards another place, causing a scandal, when he was able to observe again where the car was located something that left him puzzled since the smell of that person was there the only thing that was there was his jacket but his smell he could find

Its scent was moving away and that thing would not let its prey escape, plus its prey was being a coward as fear could feel it and it was healthy, it licked its bloodstained jaw before running through the streets destroying anything that was in its path. way since he only cared about the most delicious thing for them fear

part 5

I was running around the neighborhood I didn't have my jacket but at least I had a shirt on, asking for help was useless the neighborhood was empty even these houses were empty since it's only used by foreigners who come here and there aren't many who can come here

I took out my phone looking at the time and it was 9:38 PM 24 or 26 minutes had passed escaping from that thing and I was calmer I couldn't find it around here so I wasn't too sure if I was safe from that monster

I kept my phone in my pocket while I began to walk nervously looking everywhere to see if there was someone or that thing will not be around here

I felt very strange the tip of my back hurt me and it was also very dark since the only thing that could be illuminated were the poles, the air was heavy and my vision faltered just seeing an illuminated pole but it was dark there as I heard a grunt

I stopped walking in shock when I saw that thing in front of me appearing in the shadows, surpassing the height of the pole itself and slowly destroying it.

Wait you can increase your height, were my only thoughts when so quickly that thing or monster went towards my direction with all its instinct to kill that I was paralyzed by myself when my whole body even my legs could not move, I asked for help since I had fear and did not want to die for an unknown thing in this world

Please someone save me!?

What I had said in my mind were some prayers that helped since I could see how something that I could not perceive with my gaze cut its back directly where the scales were, causing that thing to roar in pain.

"AAARRRRRRGGGHHHHH!?"

Behind me I could hear a sound of footsteps and I just had to turn around to look at that person who could save me from this situation, a girl with an Asian face with a completely black shirt except for her sleeves, which were white with black stripes, and had a skirt that was equally lengthened to her ankles in addition to black hair and short hair and I was surprised when I could see that she was wearing a sheath on one of her hips while in her left hand she carried a katana firmly and then in seconds slowly and rigidly put it in her sheath

The girl turned to me looking at me suspiciously without interest before saying a few words.

"Wow, are you still alive? I thought I'd be late…"

His voice was calm from what I could hear but he had a slightly fluent accent but I could understand him perfectly, I turned agitatedly towards that Monster as he growled strangely while inside his mouth smoke was coming out while his back like his scales were cut but reproduced as if regenerating

Is this real? Is it some kind of nightmare? I want to know if it's a dream? Am I going crazy or am I hallucinating?

They were my questions in my mind while I was shocked by this situation and what I saw I wanted it to be not real, but it solved my only doubt this monster was the ones that kidnapped or said devoured its victims completely

The white-skinned monster would finish regenerating letting out smoke from its mouth while making a roar so loud that it would break several windows in the evicted neighborhood, causing the girl and I to cover our ears from the loud roar that I could swear could shatter my ears. eardrums

"This damn thing won't shut up! Kuso!"

The monster would stop roaring before running with its four legs destroying the neighborhood street by its footsteps, the Asian girl moved her hands to her katana sheath before running at a high speed that disappeared from my eyes but all I could see it was a black blur to me

I looked statically at the monster who stopped his career while showing a shocked expression to see that almost his entire body was cut showing a lot of blood from his various cuts, but there was the same cut on his back that had regenerated but deeper and showed from what I could see, while behind that thing was the girl but I couldn't see well but I could specify with a bit of my eyesight and mind is that she was in a frontal pose with her left arm extended with the holster on her hip but her katana in the left hand

But how the hell did he do that?! A 5 meter thing being cut down by a girl with a katana!? It is impossible!?"

My mind was screaming for what I had seen, perplexed, this was impossible for me even for my eyes and I was already believing that this was a dream.

But I was more surprised when that Monster regenerated again all his cuts on his body and the one on his back were gone, he just turned to look at the girl with rage, while the girl also turned with a perplexed look or expression from what i see

"This thing doesn't die or what!?" The Asian girl would think surprised and perplexed seeing the white-skinned monster looking at her, but she was more than confused when she saw that Monster ignore her and look at Zeck

"Wait? Don't tell me what!?"

"Hey idiot run away?!"

But it was too late to listen to her and her voice, who asked me to get away, and in a few moments I could see how that thing was in front of me which went at great speed, I saw everything slow while I felt how my horn was burning after receiving a claw of the claws of that monster in my chest I could see my blood flowing from me even feel as if I wanted to sleep and a great fear of that thing and not of death, my life was wasted for this night by that Monster that devoured his victims like an animal, but for me it was not an animal but a nightmare that should be eradicated, because it was his nightmare that he had seen

"What a bad dream I had…"

That was Zeck's only thoughts before he closed his eyes.

"..."
