Hide and Seek Book 2: The Mysterious Child

Chapter 50

"K-Kenneth...?" June mummured. "Is he a psychopath..?" He whispered.

"Hell if I know. The best thing is we should get away from here...!" Christian said lowly. The two began to walked away, but there's someone stopped the two. Another hooded figure appeared.

"Oh good god." Ken sighed. "Why the fuck at this time?!" He groaned.

"What do you mean?" Christian asked.

"Nothing." Ken said lowly. He tried to stab the hooded person but, it dodged. His vision cracked but he didn't care. Slowly, the flickblade he's wielding is now a sword.

"What the hell?!" June gasped. Christian is fighting the other hooded guy. He doesn't even know what is happening in the first place.

"Brother!" Someoen yelled at the distance. A child's voice. Ken and the other two looked at the direction, it was Kathleen.

"Kathleen run!" He yelled. But he was too late. Another hooded guy appeared. It caught her. Kathleen screamed.

'No, these aren't ordinary people.'

He thought. He kept thinking until only one name of a creature was on his mind.

"A ghoul." He muttered. "Wai, a ghoul?!" He yelped. His thoughts were correct. It bite him on the neck. He screamed in pain. Christian is blocking the ghoul. It's bony figure is sure hard to break. Sipping the blood, Ken slowly looses his strength. June can't do anything but to watch. He froze in his spot.

Blood dripped on the cold grassy ground. Ken was loosing his breath, the pain on his chest was getting sharper and sharper everytime he move. He has no choice but to bear the pain.

"Ken!!!" Kathleen yelled. Ken's vision began to blurr. Ken has no other choice. He fighted, he bite the ghoul on the neck, causing the teeth on his neck has gone deeper. He feel disgust. He was dropped off the ground. The ghoul disappeard. Ken wiped off the blood on his face. Within a swift move, he throwed his sword and became a knife, it hit the ghoul on the head. The ghould disappeared and the blade returned on his grasp. And he throwed it again and it hit again on the head. He began to stumble. Christian catched Ken as he was about to fall.

"Damn, it was gross." He looked at the sky.

"You should've thanked him. He saved you." June said as he got his handkerchief and put it on his wound.

"Not on my habbit." Christian said bluntly as he tied the handkerchief not so tightly on Ken's neck.

"So, what are we going to do at the child?" June asked.

"Hell if I know." Christian said bluntly.

"Fuck you nigga."
