Half Blood

Chapter 2 : What is Normal?

[Allyson's POV]

It's as if I'm in a zombie apocalypse-the guy continues to chew on a hand.

"A person?" He spoke; blood dripping from every bite and with his  dark demeanor, I almost stumble in fright. Despite the darkness shielding his face, I was sure that he was smiling at me.

"That scent."

No... no...

It sent shivers to my spine. I glanced to my side to grab something. With all my might I stood up and yeeted it through his bloody face. After that, I grabbed my things and rushed towards the only exit.

Adrenaline coursed into my entire body like a prey running away for it's life. I didn't look back... Didn't even think I'd retrieve my phone.

One thing remained in my mind, however...

They exist...

I have mixed feelings for this and I don't want this to happen again.

...

[ Two hours later ] in her room lies~

* Knocks.

"Ally? You okay?"

A concerned knock followed by Sherry asking me from outside.

"We're about to close the café in half an hour. Coffee?" She offered.

True. A simple coffee would be good. But~

"I'm fine, Sherry."

Sherry didn't reply back. Sorry Sherry. I'm just not in the mood right now.

I curl up under my sheets, desperate to forget what happened earlier; covering myself with two blankets. I began to remember what my Aunt used to say to me.

"We're not normal."

What does that mean? I'm like that person? No. I don't have the like to harm anyone let alone eat one.

It was a good thing, I didn't barfed in front of that maniac. But since I've just landed on a big secret. It doesn't mean it'll explain everything.

I had to do some research to find my leads. In the meantime, all I could hear was the sound of the ceiling fan and both Sherry and Todd downstairs.

I hear Sherry talking about how I returned to the Cafe with my expression chased by a ghost. Todd then speculates that maybe Boss called me and gave me mind. They continued their conversation before heading downstairs to clean up.

I want to tell them what I saw at the building, but I don't think they'll believe in me anyway.

I just wanna sleep and forget everything~

*********************************

[Third Person's POV]

The night was cold, the moon was bright and the two employees of the Brown Cup Cafe had to close as it was already late.

"Hans might rush to arrive here," Todd guesses that Hans, their boss might arrive late as he attaches a piece to the coffee grinder. Sherry looked quite worried for Allyson. She felt that something had happen.

* Wind chimes echoing.

Someone entered. Sherry didn't pay attention but rather informed the person the café would close-a large BAANGG crashed.
