38 Radius of Death

Everything except her phone was dark, making it easy to be spotted. Luckily no one was paying any attention.

Shaking off her tiredness, she clung to the tree as she slid down the trunk. She unhurriedly walked towards the tall fence, leaving Dante behind to wait.

Zuna swiftly lifted herself over the fence, then made her way towards the front, where she squatted on the ground and waited. It took a while, but it was well worth the fifteen minute wait.

"Zuna!" Came a loud whisper, a skinny middle aged man walked towards her. He stayed a few feet away of course, admiring her bunny onesie.

"Shh!" She hushed him while looking around her surroundings. He leaned backwards and waved his hands in the air, mocking fear. "Seriously."

Jeffrey sighed. "What're you doin' here?" He tossed the bag towards her.

"Investigating or something." She caught it.

"Playin' detective?" He watched as she dug into the bag, pulling out a sandwich and immediately devouring it.

Zuna shrugged, she'd obviously stopped listening. The man before her was someone she trusted, so she didn't really care to give any untruthful excuses.

In a matter of seconds, the sandwich was gone. "I really needed that..."

"I can tell." He nodded.

"Oh wait, Dante." She finally realized. "I gotta go. Tell Tibet I said 'hi'."

"Will do." And with that she was gone.

She had to force herself from eating Dante's sandwich. Those sandwiches were simply amazing, it was a wonder how she actually got back to Dante without eating it.

She tossed it up to him, and he swiftly caught it. Zuna balanced a foot on the trunk of the tree, then with a good amount of strength she pushed herself upward to grab a branch. After that, the rest of the climb was easier, since the branches were patterned almost like ladder.

By the time she was all the way up to where she had been before, Dante had finished his sandwich. It was a full twenty feet up from the ground, if Eirik knew that his daughter had climbed another tree he would've pulled it out by it's roots. Truthfully, if any mortal happened to land on their head, they could possibly die.

Zuna has never had the chance to encounter a situation in which she dies. Therefore, she has no clue what would happen, or if she would ever wake up. She had her dad to blame for never letting her experience death.

No words were spoken between Dante and Zuna. Unaware that the glass window was now open, she sat on the branch as she went on her phone, going back to the game Dante had played. The screen illuminated her face as it changed to disbelief.

22203. Her highest score of 19000 had been beaten. Shocked, she looked towards Dante. "How!?" She shouted, loudly.

Dante looked urgently at her, then glancing back at the window he held a finger to his lips. "Shh..."

Zuna followed his gaze and noticed the open window, but she wasn't too scared. It was dark inside and it didn't seem like anyone had heard her. Until of course an alarm went off, scaring her witless and causing her to lose balance.

She came crashing through the branches, hitting and bruising herself on them along the way. She still had her phone as she lumped down with a loud thump, landing on her back. Her insides jolted, causing the air to be knocked out of her lungs.

She let out a gasp, not noticing the blood on her bottom lip from having bit it to keep screaming. She was stronger than any mortal, so it shouldn't take long to recover, her only problem was escaping.

It was impossible to get away as she watched men dressed in black uniforms come for her capture. Quickly, she turned her phone off and hid it under a bush, or whatever the plant was.

She held her breath in panic as she was pulled up from the ground. A man held her by the shoulder and she was stunned when she realized her radius of death had almost vanished. It was sort of a feeling to know how far her radius reached, and right now she couldn't feel it past her skin.

She speculated reasons as she willingly walked with him, him and a few others who she pain zero attention to.
