Attack on Alpaca Vol. 01 (進撃のアルパ巨人) THE FALL

Chapter 04 - Tragedy at the Walls

COCORO'S POV

My name is Cocoro Yazawa. 9 years old. I am the second eldest sister amongst four siblings. We were at our house playing when we suddenly lost balance after a sudden tremor.

"What was that?!!"

"Big sister!! I saw a lightning!!", said Cotaro.

"Lightning?"

After that, the three of us went outside and saw a giant Alpaca peeking over the Wall. The three of us were shocked by what we saw.

Moments later, the Wall exploded and we saw a large boulder that came towards us. We were terrified and tried to dodge it by running away from our house. Luckily, the boulder crashed on our house and we were just outside it.

"Oh my god!!", screamed Cocoa.

"Papa?!! Mama!!?", said Cotaro as he started feeling uneasy.

I ran away with my siblings as we saw a lot of scary Alpacas coming from the Wall going all over the place.

"Come with me!! We have to go!!! We have to find big sister Nico, mom and dad!!", I said as I took off my necklace and left it on the ground, hoping that dad and Nico noticed.

The three of us ran for our lives. I led the way. I assumed that Nico and dad are still at the inner gate of Akihabara. So I knew what to do: get to the inner gate where I will find dad and big sister Nico!

Less than hour after the Colossal Alpaca created a hole in the Wall, hordes of Alpacas quickly entered the hole and began eating the inhabitants of Akihabara.

MORI YAZAWA'S POV

I flew through the air to search for my children. I ran and jumped from one house to another to find them. Asking others where they are is pointless (they are too busy running away). I acted as quickly as possible - it is only a matter of time before the dreaded Abnormal Alpacas started coming in. I hate them - their behaviors are unpredictable. Some like to jump a lot. Others love to charge into buildings. There are even Alpacas who ignore some people they see and pass by to move on to another prey - as if they are actually choosy as to who to eat.

Damn it. I was right. No matter what the Love Live Corps does, eventually something like this is bound to happen.

I kept flying. I could not find my children anywhere. But I know that I should not give up. It is my responsibility to search for them.

I flew and landed onto a tall tower. For now, all I could see are the Alpacas causing havoc. Some buildings are being destroyed by those "charging" Abnormals. A lot of people screaming - makes me sick. So far, it looks like they have not yet reached the inner gate.

NICO'S POV

Shit!! Moments ago, a blue Alpaca suddenly started sprinting towards us and hit one of the houses. Phew! I am glad it missed.

I kept running. I did whatever I could to focus on getting to the inner gate. I have to follow my dad's advice to ignore everything and keep moving to my goal.

It is hard for me. Hearing people screaming just makes me want to close my eyes or ears - their deaths make me feel so scared.

I also saw injured people as I ran. At one point, I found a woman trapped in the debris of her crushed house. Two kids - probably her children - are trying to get her out. I could only look at them. I wanted to help them so badly but my dad told me to ignore everyone and keep running. I should not distract myself into helping someone - Alpacas are closing in quick and I have to get to safety as soon as possible.
