WARNING: This chapter contains gore.

Emilia looked outside, seeing more people gather around their house. She widened her eyes, knowing it's not over yet. Seeing she doesn't have the time to rest, she clenched her teeth in annoyance. Without wasting any time, she started to walk out of the room, planning to see if there's someone she can help. She opened the door, minding the creaks with carefulness, to see if there's any danger outside. Seeing bodies littered around the room, she got out and closed the door.

She held herself upright at the wall, tired from the fighting and killing. She sighed, knowing it's round two. "Psst. Emilia!" Looking behind her, she saw Rafi beckoning her to get closer. Happy at the sight of her comrade and husband, she walked closer. What started as a slow pace escalated into a brisk walk while she was minding any windows and doors.

Once she was in Rafi's arms, he wrapped his arms around her shoulder and started to walk where Melanie and Gaden was. "Melanie! I got her." They both turned around, relieved there are no casualties. "Thank god, you're still alive." Melanie released a huff, patting her shoulder. "Yeah. Although, there's more people out there." Gaden grunted in annoyance, having enough of the Saviors. "We have no choice, huh." Melanie wiped off the remaining blood on her knife with a cloth, the deadly glint returning with the steel being wiped off clean. "I'm not dying here. I want to have a child." Melanie wiped her forehead free from sweat, eyes filled with anger and determination. "You know what? You can use guns now. Try to make every bullet count!" He bashed the door open with his whole body, the hinges almost falling out.

Paying no attention to the door's condition, they brought out their guns and knives, ready to go all out.

Gaden ran through the hallway, each step free from sound. Seeing a person standing there, he stabbed it in the lower back, making the person scream in agony. "I'm not finished!" He slid the knife upwards, injuring the spine and with every thrust of the knife, blood came out of the person's mouth. He pulled the knife back, seeing the person was good as dead. He grabbed the body and went outside, alerting enemies outside.

"What? Fire!"

He pulled the body in front of him, each bullet missing him and hitting the body with each bullet. He smirked, happy at he sight of using the body as his shield. Seeing they are too far, he grabbed his gun and pointed towards them, preparing to pull the trigger. Seeing him about to pull the trigger, they ducked in time, the bullet missing them. Looking back, the person saw he hit the wrong spot. 

"Ha! You missed." The person taunted, stretching out two fingers in an L-shape on his forehead.

"I never miss." He smirked, dropping the body with no care. Inside the mask, the person's ear perked up, hearing something behind him. "Blowing?" He looked back, seeing he shot a fuel can in a collection of fuel cans behind him. "Shi-

The person didn't get to finish what it said, light surrounding him with a few other people. The explosion alerted people a few blocks away, making them wonder what is happening. The light from the explosion dimmed, revealing smoke stretching high from the sky. He smirked, seeing he took a lot of other people down. Seeing he is unarmed, he ran back and jumped towards a window where they were at.

"Woah." Emilia turned around, seeing Rafi agape and his eyes sparkling in amazement. "I don't recommend doing that, you might get killed. Just shoot them from the windows." Gaden huffed, tired from the running and the killing spree. The three of them nodded, pointing their guns at the windows. Seeing a lot of people are there, they started shooting.

They all aimed at their vulnerable points, notably, the brain and the heart. Having trouble, Melanie pointed her gun towards a water tower on the side where the Saviors were taking cover, planning to drown them. She pulled the trigger, seeing water pouring out of a small hole. She shot again multiple times, each shot escalating into a powerful current. With the last shot, the water gave in and the hole expanded, water flowing out like a river.

The Saviors all looked up, feeling water droplets raining upon them. What they saw was death. The water was cascading down harshly. Quickly, it started to reach them, making them all scream in fear. They felt their pants and shoes get soaked in water, and in a second, they were together with the water.

"Nice shot Melanie!" Emilia complimented, not aware of the person sneaking behind them. In the corner of Rafi's eye, he saw movement. He turned around and looked at the person starting from the bottom to the top. He couldn't make out the shape, but slowly, it took the form of a gun pointing at Emilia. "Shit! Em-

*BANG*

Emilia fell back, her feet losing her balance from the ground. While she was falling, she was looking up, her vision starting to blur with blood splattering down. Her ears were ringing, and she can't comprehend what the others were saying.

Rafi quickly reacted and shot the person in the head, the person's body falling down with a loud thud and his brain splattered on the floor. Emilia's eyes were starting to droop, the blurriness never fading in her eyes. "Don't sleep, Emilia!" She opened her eyes slightly, the blurry form of a man standing over her. "Shit! It pierced her chest." The longer she was laying there, the longer she was losing blood and her consciousness fading. "Emilia! Emilia! Can you hear me?!" Rafi patted her face a little bit harshly, trying to make her return to her conscious state.

"G-guys..." She said in a low voice, tears starting to come down. "W-why can't I... hear you?" She said, whimpering from the pain. They all widened their eyes from her question, not expecting it one bit. Nevertheless, Rafi wouldn't allow her to sleep. "Emilia! Emilia! Don't you dare sleep!" She was losing more blood, she can feel her wound spewing blood. 

"Why can't... I s-see you...?"                                                                                                                                            

"Don't you dare die on me!"

She can no longer comprehend what he was saying. The ringing in her ears only started to grow stronger and deafening. Sleep... sleep... sleep. In that moment, she knew she was going to die. The temptation to sleep only grew worse, and she lost the willpower to fight it. Looks like I won't have a child, huh. Her eyes were only a few millimeters until it closed, and she wondered how much blood she lost. Her hope, her dreams... it was all crushed in one shot. Her dream of having another child was all destroyed. Wait. Who is the girl in the sunny grass field? Who? Who? Who?! Who is she? She tried to rack her brain for thoughts as best as she can, but her brain can no longer think straight due to the pain.

Finally, she stopped thinking. What was filled with determination in her eyes awhile ago was gone and it was replaced with emptiness. Rafi paused, his shaking and patting ceasing. He whimpered, trying to catch his breath as his eyes were wide open, starting to disbelieve.

"EMILIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"
