Outsiders

CHAPTER 2 - Caught In The Rain

"They didn't deserve this, no one deserves this," saying to himself as he regretfully stared at their bodies which were covered under a white sheet that had been dipped red. By the time, the electricity came back and he went to the kitchen grabbing his mothers favourite knife, the Yanagi ba. She uses it to cut raw fish, but also other foods in general as she once said, "This knife could easily cut through thick flesh." Soon as Tenbris gripped on the knife's handle, a purple aura started forming around his fists as the aura grew around the knife. "What the hell?" Tenbris never felt as lost as he did that night. The aura faded, but that still left him confused. As he was about to leave, Tenbris looked at his parents lying on the floor of the living room and took a moment. He then closes the door behind him walking sorrowfully down the steps.

Tenbris was searching around for any ideas of where these monsters came from, but he doesn't have any leads to the existence of these creatures. Rain started to pour bit by bit. In the meantime, he decided to help whoever he found needing his aid. "Mommy, mommy no!" He heard what sounded like a child screaming out those words.

He moved towards the kids' voice and right when he peeked behind the corner, around the building, he saw about hundreds of parking slots with a few cars parked outside. There was that monster again, but with a deformed face this time, crouching over the terrified kid with what seemed to be his mother lying dead on the floor. "Back off you freak!" screams Tenbris as he walks quickly towards the creature pointing the knife at him as he continues to say "You ugly mother- " the monster widely opened his mouth as thick saliva was dripping over the kid's head. The kid looks above him as he sees the creature's thousands of sharp bloody teeth spiraling inside his mouth and through the walls of his food pipe. "Shit!" Tenbris gripped the knife tightly as it was covered with the purple aura and swung it straight through the monster's stomach, going in from one side and leaving from the other. "Ughhh- '' and a bone crunch goes off, the monster bit the top half of the kid as the bottom half of his flesh was dangelling on the side of his mouth. "Noo!" Tenbris shouts, breathing heavily as he catches the thing's attention. The creature turns its head around and starts gazing at Tenbris as he is lit with rage. Tenbris's eye went dark as the monster's eye glowed purple, but so did Tenbris's fists, it had that same aura. Soon after the giant thing tilted its skully head and sprinted with both its legs and arms, straight into the forest nearby not to appear in sight.

"Why, why!" Stomping on the ground, Tenbris tensiosly walks across the dead body and crouches enough to grab his knife. Tenbris felt rage inside of him as he started to grip the knife tighter and tighter on the handle as some of his fingers were tightening on the actual blade of the knife. Blood started to drip as lightning rooted down the gruesome night sky, creating a rumbling thunder noise. Coming to his realisation, Tenbris took a gasping breath and quickly hid the knife, focusing on what he should do next.

"What am I supposed to do now, just wait for another inevitable disaster to hit me?" Walking down a hallway of vast empty parking spots with a few parked cars, Tenbris was alone, or at least he thought. He started having these feelings of being watched, as he felt it getting closer to him just like last time, only this time he felt like he was being watched from different directions all at once. Tenbris examines his surroundings closely, turning his head around from side to side to seek for anything that looks oddly suspicious, for he sensed danger. "I know you're there, leave me alone! I've had enough of dealing with life's bullshit fo- " Hears a rustling noise behind him and running footsteps sprinting across one side to the other as his ears tingled.

"Hey, I saw you! Show yourself!" Screaming as he turns to spectate the opposite direction, holding his knife up to his chest pointing outwards, ready to attack.

"Here, here."

A soft feminine voice coming from behind him, the direction he just turned away from. Turning back and forth as he hears noises and sees shadows moving behind the cars, he gets worryingly confused and defensive. Tenbris didn't think that they were these monstrous creatures again, because if they were, he would've been able to spot and identify them with no difficulty, however, these shadows look like they belong to some human-like creatures with odd features.

Tenbris grew pissed, "you know what!" As he walked intensively towards one of the shadows holding up his red dripping knife against his head, hunched and bathed with blood. He got nearer, as each footstep was printing his shoes' bottom patterns on the ground with gore. Wanting to stab whatever was hiding behind the curtains of darkness.

"You!" Getting closer and closer as a face started to uncover from the silhouette. "You're dead, you're so de-" Unconscious, he was hit from the back of his head.
