TPT : The unPlanned Tragedy

BELEAGURED 2 : Huntered

(Part of Chapter 16)

"What was that sound?" Blate concerned.
"Huh?" Ravellion didn't hear anything in particular.
"I heard growling from behind us."
"Maybe its just a wild animals." Ravellion took a guess.

Not realizing that Blate was already saw what behind them. She freezed. Ravellion who was walking, turned around, stopped by the gruesome scene in front of her. A tall, reddish  monster-like creature, growled every breath it took. Its face were very broken, leaving some of the skin tissues on its face. The eyes were white, with a powermist beside its eyes. And, was that chain on its hand? Why would someone wanted to  capture this creature?

Blate stepped back. Unable to uttered words from her mouth. This scene would traumatized her for life.
"Blate, I think it couldn't see us. Try not to make any noise." Ravellion whispered.
"We-we'll step back.. one by one.." she stuttered.

But, Blate kept looking into its eyes, even though she was scared to death. Ravellion slowly took her hand, and tried to make her back to reality.
"Come on, Blate."

Blate followed Ravellion's guide, slowly came back to reality. When they felt the situation were safer, Ravellion released her hand and started talking
"Phew, I'd never seen something like that before."
"What?"
"I know you must be in shock of what happened back there. But, I promise you there will be alot more like him. Ee- Tinier." Ravellion teased her.
"What has happened to those people?" Blate suddenly asked.
"Pardon?"
"I mean- you said that those who were turning into one of those things were from untreated mental issues."
"Yes, and once their brain rotted because of that untreated issues, their power took over them." Rave explained.

Blate looked down, she seemed like knew something that Rave didn't understand about.
"What is it, Blate?" Rave concerned
"I don't know. There was something in their eyes that was called out for me? I-I.." Blate stuttered while explaining

Ravellion put her hand on Blate's shoulder.
"Don't worry. You'll get used to it. Come on, we got something to do." she smirked, with sympathetic gaze to Blate.

The environment in that place were horrifying. Bloods everywhere, stuffs were broken and out of its place, some houses were also turned moldy and some were already crushed to the ground. How long has the pandemic been? Blate felt weirded out. One second she was in her dorm room, thinking about tomorrow's test, and another second she was in the middle of apocalyptic environment, with a kid.
"A hospital? Hmm.. Come on, Blate. Maybe there's something useful here."  Rave invited her.

Blate checked the hospital's building, looking up, down, and, sideways. No sign of shredder or human. The sliding glass doors were already shattered down.
"Why is it so dark inside? Is the sunshine consumed by the dark?" Blate asked.
"Here, I entrust you with the flashlight. If you see a shredder, turn it off. They hate the pitch black dark. Like the forest, the cave and this abandoned hospital. Their eyes couldn't see well in the dark, so that's your best chance to hide." Rave explained.
"What if I said to you that I scared of the dark?" Blate confessed.
"Well, good luck." Rave smirked and shrugged her shoulder.

Blate knew someday she might kill her brutally and nobody would suspected her.

They walked slowly into the hospital. Opening each door, searching every room, hoping to find something useful, such as medicines, first aids, and food.

"Blate, where were you from?" Rave asked while Blate was inspecting a first aid box.
"Huh? Sorry I didn't hear you." Blate made sure.
"I said where were you from?"
"Gravola and Gredote Island. Why?"
"Nothing." Rave stopped.

The air felt awkward, so Blate started another conversation.
"I see you got four haircolors, you must be powerful." Blate continued searching.
"Great observing, I got much, but I haven't mastered one bit. Wait, this could be useful." Rave getting distracted.
