War Gods

Chapter 2: The Child, The Rufus, and the Behemoth

"I'm so tiiiiiired." I yawned and let myself fall on my bed I am already done doing my female routine and stuffs so I turned the television on and watched the news, but the image of the boy and whatever happened still remains on my mind. "Who could he be." I murmured as my eyes start to grow heavier with each passing second. I'm dead tired , with school , with the bills and expenses, with my life. I slowly close my eyes thinking that I had enough for today and I am ready for sleep to devour me.

"I wouldn't sleep If I were you."

My eyes abruptly open and I scramed out of my bed. Picking the knife on my night stand in the process.

"Who are you?!" I pointed it towards the tresspaser who was sitting on the floor and messing with my notes. The tresspasser appeared to be a little girl around the age of 8 or 10. Her short purple hair's tied into a ponytail. She look at me and pouted before she returned my notes back to where it should be.

"It's rude to point y'know!" She scolded and puffed her chest , trying to act intimidating which she painfully failed in doing so for all I see is a tresspasing brat. I didn't budged and still pointed the blade towards her. She was wearing a white hoodie that reached up to her knees with purple incomprehensible texts on it's bottom. A blue headphones with pink glowing line lights rested on her small neck, her skin was pale, almost perfect white. I frowned. Great, I saw two of the higher class in the flesh today, what's next?

"And it's rude not to answer. Who are you and what are you doing here?" I asked sternly.

"My name is Eriu! And I am here to help!" She grinned and offered her hand, which I declined. "Geez, you really are rude.. And stop pointing that knife at me!"

I raised an eyebrow.

"Help me with what?"

"Put that knife first."

"No."

"Pretty please?"

"Still No."

"Fine! I won't tell you then!"

"Then don't."

"Wwwwwwwhy are you so hard to talk to?!"

"...." I just stood there and observe her , what if this twerp was a psycho?. Eriu on the other hand looked like she'll break down any minute now. Crap. Not that look. "Fine." I sighed and put the knife down.

"Good, Now as I was saying, I am her to help you! You saw him didn't you?" She looked at me with wide pink eyes. I raised an eyebrow.

"Who?"

"Rufus! That boy with the red hair!" She exclaimed and clasped her hand together. Recognition flooded into me. I nodded.

l

"Ye..a he was kinda weird.." I muttered. "What about him?"

"Only a few choosen humans could see him, pretty much, you should be like him in order to be able so." She said as she raised her index finger in the air. Like him? What the hell is she blabbing about. "I saw how you stared at him, I was there. I'm one of those people who keeps an eye on him." She stated.

"You're lucky cause I got to you first before the others." Her tone suddenly dropped from jolly to the serious one. "It's bad once you see him. They'll hunt you down."

"W-what are you--" She suddenly covered my mouth and stared at the door. She squinted her eyes, which was strangely glowing, our closeness made me able to see the golden hues that circles her pupils. She gasped and removed her hand on my mouth.

"Come on! They're coming!" She said and pulled me to towards the window. I abruptly stopped making her lost her balance and fall head first on the ground.

"Who are coming?!" I screamed I was starting to panic. If this was a prank she better stop.

"There's no time to explain anymore!" She stood up while rubbing her nose and pulled me again. This time I wasn't able to resist as I heard my front door bust open followed by the sound of glasses breaking which was cause by Eriu. My eyes widened as she pulled me out. Almost immediately the dirty air of the city filled my nosestrils, I gasped and coughed. My head started to spin, this is bad. At this rate I am going to die. 3 seconds without any mask in this city and you'll die. I closed my eyes and took a breath. No use.

"Er..iu.. I.." I gasped. "Can't..b..reath.."

I felt myself falling. I lived on the 9 th floor of that building and Eriu must've have been just some psychotic kid roaming around the city. The rufus' probably her relative or something plotting my death--

"Open your eyes!"

I heard an obnoxious high pitched voice followed by the sudden rushed of oxygen on my lungs. I gasped and saw Eriu on top of me. Both of us still falling fast on the ground. She grinned widely and grabbed my arm. She pulled me towards a flat surfaced roof top but instead of stopping she didn't. We continued to run. I nearly lost my balance. Damn, I'm not wearing any shoes either.

Using my free hand I ran my fingers to the face mask that I am wearing. This wasn't mine. Why is Eriu not wearing any mask? How can she breath through this air.

"ERIUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

I heard an unearthly shout from behind us which made the hair on my neck rose. Damn I'm scared. It sound near. So near for my liking.

"Don't look back! Behemoth is scary! He'll kill you!" Eriu warned which I obediently followed. We ran faster and faster , Jumping from here to there, with Eriu doing it like it's just her daily routine and me barely even keeping my balance straight. we stopped until we reach the end of the tall building. Eriu gasped and horror written on her face."What to do? Come on Eriu! Think-- aha!" she exclaimed and squatted so that she was now in the same level with my kness. She took out two black orbs on her pocket and attached them to my feet. I heard a whirring sound followed by beeping.

'Synchronizing engaged.'

A robotic voice spoke. Pieces started assembling from the orbs to my feet, the beeping continued as it turned into a boot-like feet armor. I felt something pricked the back of my knees.

"Ouch!" I exclaimed.

'DNA pattern recognized. War God Yuri, battle mode : ON'

SWOSH.

I felt myself suddenly being lifted on the ground.

I screamed.

I'M FLYING!

SHITSHIRSHITSHITSHIT. WHY AM I FLYING?! HOW DO YOU CONTROL THIS THING?! SOMEBODY HELP ME!

"Eriu I--"

My eyes widened with the sight that I saw. A huge man. No a Giant grabbed Eriu by the hair and punched her on the stomach. He screamed something incomprehensiveble and punched her again , this time on the face. What is he doing?! He just can't do that!

"Eriu!" I screamed her name, attracting the beast in the process. His huge Pointed teeth gritting as he glared at me with those emerald eyes. He threw Eiru away and made a dash towards me. This time I started to panic, I couldn't move. I don't know how to control this thing!

He was advancing towards me fast.

He's going to fall right?! I-I mean I'm hovering in hundred of feets from the ground, Wait! He has an armor too! Crap! I'm going to die!

He was getting nearer and nearer.

And---

Is this going to be my End?
