Black Section

Chapter 37

"All my friends are heathens, take it slow. Wait for them to ask you who you know. Please don't make any sudden moves. You don't know the half of the abuse~" He sang as he drinks a can of beer. "Now, sing along with me!" He shouted.

"Welcome to the room of people who have rooms of people that they loved one day," he sang again. "Docked away!" They continued to sing the lyrics. "Just because we check the guns at the door. Doesn't mean our brains will change-"

"From hand grenades!" They added. "You're loving on the psychopath sitting next to you." He's still singing and pointed at the man beside him. "You're loving on the murderer sitting next to you," and pointed at me. I gripped the can of beer tighter until it got destroyed. I can't take this anymore. "You'll think, 'How'd I get here, sitting next to you?' But after all I've said, please don't forget~" They all sang in unison as they raised their cans altogether.

I stood up and I dropped the can of beer I was holding. They stopped. "Chill, Twilight Goddess! Why don't we enjoy this night?"

How did I end up being with these dummies? What's worse...

"Are you Roger for certain? Ruby's taste for a man..." I scanned him from top to bottom. "She was bewitched by you, wasn't she?" I asked.

Lunox Point of View

"We're here!" He said. My jaw dropped. I gave him an unbelievable look. They have set up a camp. Also, the weapons are in display. "What? We expected this tragedy to happen so we have prepared all the necessities and weapons we need to survive," he said. If he knew, why didn't he report it? "Don't give me that look. We don't want this to happen either. We just don't have a choice," he added. He walked straight. "Look what I brought back!" He shouted. "A bear! We have a feast tonight everybody!" One of his men said.

"By the way, not only I have brought back our dinner but also I have met a friend who'll save us and get us out of this place." He announced. They suddenly stopped on what they're doing. "B-But Roger..."

"No buts! I introduced you to..." He halted and looked at me. "What's your name?" He whispered to me. I rolled my eyes. "Twilight Goddess," I replied. "Twilight Goddess!" He shouted. "Wooh! Why aren't you clapping? Clap! Show some respect," he said. I looked at them. Surely, they don't trust me. Their looks are just like Black Section when I first introduced myself.

They clapped but they're faking it. It's evident to their actions. I can't blame them. I suddenly showed up out of nowhere then he introduced me to his buddies. It seems suspicious.

Roger placed his arms across my shoulder. "They'll like you too! Trust me. You're a likeable person," he said while smiling. I pushed his face. "Weirdo," I whispered.

"Hello! I'm Gen. Roger told me that you two caught the bear? We've been eating berries all the day but now, we have meat! Thanks, bud." He said and took my hands. We handshake. Then, he left. I stared at my hand. "Another weirdo," I whispered to myself. However, they're nice people. I clenched my fist. I have decided. No one here will die within my view. I'll save all of them.

"I guess you're the few people that Tricia mentioned who wanted to escape the forest," oops. I said that in a loud voice. They must have heard it.

I received a lot of questions. I found the answers. I'm correct again, they're the few people. I have come to the right place. "Yes, I met her in the noon. She's pretty doing well. She's probably out of this forest by now. I gave her the safest route to go. She has two Class B Grade 10 with her, a man and a woman," I said. They were relieved.

"That woman! I was too worried about her. She made herself as a bait so that we can escape. I hate her!" Someone commented. That is why she was separated from them. "Now that we all knew she's safe and sound. Let's all calm down, everyone. It's a coincidence she also knew Tricia. Therefore, she's Tricia's lifesaver!" He said. "You know what I mean," He added as he raised his eyebrows up and down.
