The moisture condensed from the atmosphere that falls visibly in separate drops came unexpectedly. People had no idea that raindrops carry an infected agent, which consists of a nucleic acid molecule in a protein coat and multiplies only within the living of a host. It's like a piece of code that can copy itself and has a negative effect, such as corrupting the system and destroying the mind's rational data. A virus that was so small and infectious that once infected, a person's body became a reservoir of virus particles, causing the infected person to become carnivorous. Every second is crucial. Who will save humanity from the undead army? Will you save the world even if around you is on the verge of death?

Between Life and Death: The Bad Blood Chapter 41
She weakly pushed me away but I gripped her waist tighter, afraid that if I would let go, I won't see her ever again. And I'm deeply terrified at that thought.However, with all her strength, I was shoved away forcefully by her in the end. Now, there was a boundary in our post. Having this few distances away from her makes my eyes sting with tears. A painful tug in my heart gives me a wave of agony. Everything she does was plain torture for me.Yet, the look in her eyes made me shiver. The distress and suffering I felt thrived huger without cease."Stop being weak in front of me!" she scolded in a firm voice. "I told you to be brave and face everything onward without being vulnerable!""Mom... how can I act tough if I'm breaking inside?! How can I face everything bravely if the reason I'm breathing was in front of me... wishing me to run and leave her alone, dying because of me! Mom, how can you be so heartless?!" my voice broke at the same time, my heart shattered bits by bits.I'm

My mother didn't say anything the whole drive. She was quiet and it bothered me so much that my head throbbed in turmoil and confusion. My mother's words hounded me as I also keep the track of traces to find more clues about her statement, hoping to seek an answer to her confusing message with hidden meaning underneath.My brows furrowed while thinking. Not until my mother lightly tapped my head."I know what's running inside your little mind," she chuckled. "Don't pay any attention to it. It will just make your head ache in pondering."Her chuckle gives me a sense of forbidding. It was like a Deja Vu when she locked me up inside my room when everything started and she was gone in a snap. What she did back then left a deep scar in my heart and now, it's slowly bleeding because of what she had said.Feeling cold over, my palms sweated a lot. A dreadful emotion blows me up with a bang that almost makes me wanna jump at her and question her about it. Nevertheless, I halted myself from be

"M-mom..." I whispered and gritted my teeth to stop myself from tearing up. This sudden reunion made my heart tremble in anticipation and at the same time, it scares me about what will happen next."Xiomara..." she uttered my name with longing in her eyes.My hands clenched tightly as I scrutinized her figure. I saw some scars, old and new on her body that made my eyes dim in rage. Her pale lips were quivering and my nails sunken in my palm even deeper upon seeing her situation.I can tell with a single glance that she suffered a lot in their hands. A burst of anger almost suffocated me yet I inhaled deeply and suppress it. This isn't the right time to take action against them because I know for a fact that we can't win against their powerful force.All we need is time to wait. For now, tolerating their existence might be the last card of patience I have for them."She's our hostage now. If you don't come with us, then see how I'll deal with you." The man with a dominating presence sp

A light tap on my cheeks woke me up. I rubbed my eyes lightly after slowly opening them. What greeted my sight was Grande's figure standing in front of me with a serious face."What's with the face?""Belle was gone."I sat up straight after hearing that. My brows furrowed and pursed my lips."That's it?"She frowned. "What do you mean?"Peeling off the dust in my pants, I looked at her. "It was expected.""Wait, what? Can you tell me what does it means?""She's a traitor," Sovine interrupted. "From the start, she was sent to spy on the military grounds. I mean, the Royal clan dispatched every assassin to monitor everyone's move against them.""And you know it all along without giving us some hints?" Herofus gazed at me with disbelief in his eyes."I don't. I was informed by Sovine ahead of you. Remember the bus?"He nodded."She's the one who sabotages it.""But I'm with her almost every hour!""Even a second can create a huge surprise, much less for a skilled assassin like her."Her

All of them were gaping at me, stunned by my statement full of conviction. Yet, when exhaustion took over my body, all I could hear was their calling before I lost consciousness and completely blackened out.Something happened that defies my common sense, well everything was. However, this one was quite huge to take because... my consciousness seeped through me and entered into the void. Chaos started to bound my mind and almost I can imagine the veins thumping in my forehead.I struggled to wake up but I couldn't. As if there was a force binding me not to do anything. As of the moment, my consciousness lay there waiting for something I couldn't put a finger on.After a while, it was still eerily quiet and I can't understand what this possibly mean. The questions in my mind were surging forward like a tide. Yet, none of it was answered to enlighten me.My feelings were stirred. Like the alternate rising and falling of the sea. It was thorough havoc.

I felt depressed and fell into profound thinking. I don't even know if my existence together with the strange power I hold was a blessing or a curse in disguise. It was as if everything was a tricky code that was hard to crack.My head hurts at that thought. All these things that happened in the world were caused by the Royal family of Eleanor was seemingly a bottomless chasm. That to think of a hundred ways to figure this out, nothing will fit to unravel the depths of the void.And if there's a rope of hope led down into the dark abyss that once pulled would rip up the whole truth, the threads of mystery will slowly crack. But if not solved, then I don't know what to think anymore.This discovery seemed out of the world."Xiomara?"I blinked and tidied my dazed eyes before looking at them. Clearing my throat, I softly murmured, "I don't know how to wield my mental strength."Sovine darted his eyes on me. "Try to concentrate and expand your

To which extent the powerful attack can be, I'm uncertain of that. However, I sharpened my senses and continue striking at full force with the combination of power I have. Yet, I couldn't guarantee my stance of attacking if my stamina would deplete."Drive faster!" I shouted without ceasing from attacking.The car moves faster than the normal speed. It was sometimes swaying to avoid the obstacle hindering the way. However, halting, I checked the bullets and a soft curse broke out from my lips when I saw that there were only two bullets left.We aren't far yet from the chasing beasts but we're already at disadvantage up to this point. This situation was merely a pig ready to be slaughtered. Us, being hunted until we can no longer run was frustrating."There's a bunch of cars hampering our way!""This isn't good! They won't stop chasing us! What can we do now?""Are we gonna wait here and die?"Their kick-up commotion was unpleasant tha

They ready all the equipment they've got. My eyes tidied across the upcoming beasts attacking the gate without halting. As my eyes cast downward, I saw the man riding on the beast's back, looking straight into my eyes.From afar, I could imagine the corner of his lips lifted into a mischievous smirk like he was floating in glee upon seeing the people in my side, struggling to keep up in this bloody fight he ignited.He was the wielder of the monster beast called Baku, the man whom we encountered the last time and ambushed us roughly. And this time, he was facing us- craving and waiting for his glory to win.Or so, he thought it was. I'm here and I would never make it happen!The crowd of undead clashing with the bullets turned over the place into chaos. It sounded dreadful yet the Baku stirred the havoc even more.It was humans between the undead and the beast named Baku.However, when the other people run out of bullets and the shooting cea

For a moment, the silence took over my senses yet it was shattered when the noise of the undead thrived bigger each second passed by. It was alarming and threatening at the same time as if death was knocking on our door, though it seemed it was. Perhaps, the reality was cruel to even wish for this to end."Xiomara, the people who volunteered were now set inside the truck. We're ready to depart." Lieutenant William's voice rang in my ears that broke me out from mulling over my thoughts.I caught his eyes on me with a meaningful gaze when I looked at him."Grande and I will create a disturbance for your breakout. Use the back door for an escape route and make sure you'll get out of here and the others alive.""Xiomara..." there was an expressive meaning in his stares yet I shrugged those off. This wasn't the right time to ponder over that."Say what you want to say. Time is running and we can't afford to waste it any longer."He sighs deeply w
