HILDE'S P.O.V

I wake up at first in the middle of a forest. My right foot hurts a lot. I don't exactly remember what happened, but my head is spinning crazy. My memory starts to come back to me bit by bit, until everything gets clear.
Right, so I was able to finish my task. I don't remember how and I don't even remember the people I saw, and now I'm back. I remember my death. I was in accident, and a car hit me. Strangely, I'm not at at the middle of a street or a hospital. I was in the middle of nowhere, no sign of humans.
I tried to stand up, but my right leg instantly failed.
"Ugh, I think I broke a bone."
I used a large tree branch on the ground to help me stand up. It took a while, but in a few minutes I was standing with one foot on the ground and a large branch holding the other side of my body. My entire body ached.
I looked around. There were only trees and bushes around me, but still, I could hear the sound of a silent street not too far away.
"How did I got into this forest? Hmm..."
I tried to imagine possibilities for it, but the more I thought, more the reason scared me, until I got into a basic conclusion:
- They tried to hide my body. - I whispered darkly.
I walked around, in direction of the sound of the empty street. In the middle of the forest, I found a familiar, shining silver bat.
- How did that got here?
I took it and replaced with the tree branch. Now, I had a weapon in hands.

And I had Kirell flashbacks, from when we were in the World of Undead.

My head started to hurt like hell. I remembered now. There was something I wanted to do before I died, and something I also wanted to do before I finished my task. Kirell, my only best friend, failed on me, and now she is a danger to everyone else in this world, and now there was one thing left to do.
"I need to kill Kirell. I can't let her do this anymore."
I saw my reflection on the bat. I didn't noticed before, but I had a huge bloody scar on top of the left eye and another scar on my right cheek. There were a lot of blood, but it all dried out, making me look like a creepy murderer from horror movies.
"I should find help before people think I'm a criminal."
I walked for a while until I got to the silent street. It was already night, so there weren't any people to see me in such a wasted state. I continued to walk into the familiar place, looking at each building and house.
But then for a moment, I saw someone running.
My vision was still a little blurred, but by the long hair I was able to immeadiatly identify her.
I felt my hand grip more stronger to the bat.
"It's her!"
Still, it took me a while to notice the gunshots and that I was actually in a gunfire.
I hid behind a car as fast as I could. This scene looked very familiar.
"When Argo and Balaam were fighting in the World of Undead. It looks the same scene."
From one side, I could see Kirell. Her swiftness and amazing speed. She even looked like a small girl version of Balaam. Both skilled killers who sadly came back to life.
The other side I could see a bunch of other people. They were hiding and shooting at her at the same time. They also looked skilled, but also scared of her.

If I was in the situation, I would be normally scared too, but strangely, I wasn't. All I felt was the rage running through my blood and seeing this scene just fed the anger. I have no idea how she came back to life that fast, but apparently Phillio didn't try to stop her. Kirell did her decision and killed him.
I was too busy with my thoughts that I didn't notice someone was nearby.
- Hilde!?
It was her.
I expected her to shoot at me by any second, but she was so distracted with the other guys that she barely pointed the gun down. I just sat there, in silence.
"It's my chance!"
I was about to lift the bat, but I immediately saw her react and sit close to me, protecting herself from the gunshots.
She looked at me, breathing loudly.
- What are you doing here? What happened to your face?
The fury got to my head.
- Oh, now you DO care about me?
Kirell questioned confusedly - What??
"Why is she acting that strange?"
I spat - Aren't you even mad at me?
- Why would I? I thought you were dead! I missed you!
I gave two steps back.
"Did she lose her mind?"
But in her eyes, I saw worry. It was a different Kirell from what I saw in the World of Undead.

Old flashbacks of her came back to me again.

This time, they were flashbacks of years ago, when we still talked. They came to me as a pain in the head, and a wave of sadness came back to me. We were best friends for a long time, why everything changed so drastically?
"It changed when Kirell made up her mind. When she showed me the real person she is. A liar."
When I looked at her again, she apparently already got her job done. I couldn't hear any gunshots.
Kirell whispered - They ran away, I think. Here, let me help you.
She sticked her hand to me. I just stared, at confusion.
"But, what if she forgot it?"
I grabbed her hand. And she helped me get up. She looked at me, and gave a relieved smile. Then, she looked down.
She apologized - I'm sorry... I never told you about this. I... I can explain everything. I'm... so sorry.
"Wait, did she really forgot about everything?"
Then I looked deep into her face. She had several scars on her face and also blood. But she also looked as if she had no idea of what happened down on the World of Undead.
"She doesn't remembers..."
I closed my fist.
"...yet."
As if it was by instinct, I punched her. Kirell staggered, surprised by the action. She looked at me in pain and confused. She layed her arm on the car.
- W-what the fuck!?
I grabbed my bat and then I tried hitting her. She avoided the attack, making me hit the car instead.
- Whoaa, w-what is wrong with you!? - Kirell shouted.
- Nice trick, Kirell.
I swung the bat again, but she was too fast. She quickly pushed me to a wall. The bat falls out of my hand.
- Stop! Are you crazy!? - She said, as she pushed my hands against the brick wall - Why are you trying to kill me!?
I stood there, helpless. Her grip was really strong, and there was not much I could do. She just pinned me against a wall. Nice, Hilde.
I had no option than talk to her. She didn't looked like she would attack me.
- Don't you remember? I tried to kill you! How can you forget?
She looked at me confusedly - No you didn't! Someone else killed me!
- You're a real idiot aren't you? I mean at the World of Undead.
- The World of--
Then, she paralyzed. She was probably having a flashback. Her grip got weaker.
"This is it!"
I pushed my hands down and pushed her violently. She felt on the ground, dizzled, but then I saw her expression. She was furious.
- I remember now, you little shit!
She took off her gun and I took my bat. I ran the most far I could. She started to chase me.
"I can't fight her, I'm too weak!"
I was still limping and my foot was hurting crazy from running. I felt like the world was spinning.
Then I saw a large pile of trash among some trashcans.
- !
I walked silently towards it and hid behind it. I watched on the dark Kirell walking, looking around. She was heavily breathing.
- I would look for you... - she gasped for air - ...But I don't have time to be killed again. You won, just this time.
She then stumbled and hit a wall, gasping for air and pressing her hands to her chest. After some minutes after some heavy breathing, she stood up slowly, looked back and walked away.
"That was scary."
I stood up and cleaned myself up. I holded my bat and used it to help me get up. I sighed.
"I can't kill her with a bat. She is too skilled. I have to manage to get a gun somehow."
I gave a few steps, but my broken foot failed, and I almost felt down. I stood up, groaning.
"God, I need to treat myself first. I'm in a terrible state. But how?"
Then, I remembered of someone, who I could might get help from.
