TOTAL DARKNESS

CHAPTER: 5

I sat on the ground beside King and Robo while wishing for the Dracos to return to where they belonged because it was enough for the killing. After all, they had already killed too many humans, but my wish would never be granted because the Dracos were just on a mission and might be following orders but from whom? Who would order to kill humanity? Aliens? Gods? But why? I am unsure if they were real, but I am puzzled now, thinking about the possible reason because I cannot believe this is all happening. We are all struggling to survive in the hands of the heartless Dracos, and now I am thinking about how I would survive because I cannot fight forever.

"Who do you think is the behind all of this?" I asked King if he had an idea or knew something because he had worked with M.C.C. before when he was in his thirties, but he just shook his head and said, "I don't have an idea. M.C.C. is a low-profile company. Though they were playing god, they would never do this brutal attack."

He stretched his legs and added, "Besides the transportation that Draco's used. The laser guns were not human-made."

He looked at the laser gun and felt it again. "This is made from whatever materials cannot be found on earth."

"So that is alien-made?"

"I don't know. We didn't even know if they existed."

"How about God is punishing us because of M.C.C?" I asked, but he didn't answer.

"I mean because they were playing god."

"I don't know. We didn't even know if they were real."

Yeah right! We didn't know if they were real because if they were up there watching us, why had they abandoned us and let this all happen? If the aliens were not real, the same as Gods, why is this happening, and who wants to crush humanity? What is the big thing up there that added to our punishments?

"Aaahhh!!!"

"Please, no! No!"

"Help! Help!"

The scream from people that we can hear from where we at. Their cries and begging for their lives weren't heard because the Dracos, who were programmed to kill, made me sick and worried about my life.

Robo started to clench his teeth again because he sensed something was coming. That is why we hold our laser guns and prepare ourselves to fight. I pointed the laser to where Robo was looking and waited for the Draco to appear. I decided to fight the Draco no matter what it took because I didn't want to have the same fate as what happened to others. I heard light footsteps, so I believed it was not the Dracos. I still prepared myself and pointed the laser I held toward where I heard the footsteps.

"Oh! Wait 'up. We are not the enemy" The boy appeared with his hands in the sky and a laser gun strapped to his body. He is with a man and a woman.

"You?" I asked when I saw his face. He is the boy who stole my bag, and the caused why I was run off by the bus. He was surprised to see me.

"You are alive?" He asked

"And you are dead."

"Wait! Wait. I am no longer an enemy here."

"I will kill you still."

And I pointed the laser back at him, and he said, "Wait! No! I am sorry."

"That's it? You almost got me killed."

"You can kill me after this," He said while looking at me with pitied eyes. "I am sorry", He added sincerely.

"Who told you to rob and steal my bag?" I asked.
