4 4. Hide first

Whoever those bastard are, i'm not gonna let them go easily. This land was brought by me. I had properly put sign 'Trespasser will be shot'. Nobody will blame me for killing them since they even came with their own weapon.

I look around for the tree that i had marked the first day i had purchased this land. I had hidden some weapon and few hiding spots. Up the tree, underground on the ground. Money can truly do a wonder if you use it properly. I went to the hobbit hole, and hid myself inside. I took some of the weapon i stashed inside of a secret door. Taking it all out i strapped it around me. And lay low. It didn't take them more than ten minutes to find me. The rustling footsteps outside was a clear sign that they had pin point my exact location. Which is weird. How the heck could they find me so fast? Did they have a freaking dog nose or something?

My brain refuse to acknowledge that they appear out of thin air. Like magic. I almost smacked myself and that would be super stupid since I'm trying not to make any sound right now. My skin became clammy and cold and its the first sign that i had lose a lot of blood. Soon, i might feel dizzy and weak. Not that i want to discourage myself but The probability that I'm going to survive this is about 0.0001%. Hey, look at the bright side, at least it's not exactly zero.

And then..

KABOOM!!!!

The front door was crush into pieces. There goes my one thousand dollars custom made door. And they even guaranteed it could hold even a wrecking ball. Either they lied to me or these people are definitely not your ordinary people. I look up and saw them slowly bend down to fit the doorway, and it was then i had to hold my gasp. Their eyes!!! It's... it's... holy cow!! Its freaking glowing red! They sneered at me and i know then i was truly f**ked. I gritted my teeth and grab my glock 43 and start raining my bullets on the first one. Headshot, heart and his eyes. I held my breath and saw how the force had knocked him a little bit behind. He didn't screamed, he just stopped moving. they all did. And ugh...

Is that their blood? Blue???? What in the world.. my train of thought was interrupted by disgusting squelching noises. The guy,euwwww, is taking out both of his eyeballs out..

Nasty, i tell you. He even let me see the optic nerves hanging on it. He flick his eyeballs few times and two bullets pop out from it. Then from his chest. And then he poke out the bullet from his forehead like he was picking his nose. Ugh. I don't know how to feel about this. It was funny seeing someone that resemble human flicking his eyeballs, yet in the same time it's scary that he could pop out his eyeballs and the bullets out like it was nothing. Another squelching sounds and the eyeballs was pop back inside his eye sockets. I stand there with my mouth hanging as i see his eyes moving circular before resetting back to its original position.

Okay. That's it. I take it back. These people are monsters and i cant even delude myself that i even have any chances to survive this, no matter how slim it is.

"Can we talk about this? I'm pretty sure you have the wrong person." I said, sweating and shivering. My body temperature starts to decrease, I'll fall into the state of rigor that I'm sure of.

They laughed out loud.

"You are tempest." The eyeball dude sniffed and sneered as if he just smell someone's rotten fart.

"Your blood scent is the proof of it" while my brain processing this, i decided to stall time as much as i can. Earlier, i had hit the panic button to inform the nearest authority that I'm in trouble.

"What are you.. you are not human.."

They spat. "We are not those weakling human nor we wished to one! We are underling for the dark queen, and we were ordered to take the head of tempest to her highness"

"Minion. You mean you guys are minions."

Their eyebrow furrowed. do they know about the cute yellow things with jumper pants and glasses?

"So you guys are some kind of unnatural creatures.. with powers and so on. And why would your queen ordered my death, when i never cross path with her nor i ever had any prior knowledge about you guys"

"Your blood, stinks" they sneered again. I lips curved upward.

"Bingo" marvellous. Now i need to think. I took out both of my daggers strapped on my thighs and reposition.

"Ahhh a baby tempest are trying to fight.. you dont even know anything. You will die tonight in our hands" i pushed forward, using my momentum to slashed the man in front. I severed his head and thought it'll gonna take him a little bit to put his head back if he can. And if my calculation is correct the others won't move..

I ran over them, pushing them away. I can't afford to be trapped there with them. I noticed that the leader was the main 'motherboard' in computer term. When i had hit him, all of them stopped. And though they tried hard, all their action was in sync. All the sneer, laughing and spitting. I'm only guessing, but if I'm right i cannot fight them in crowded space since they will over power me in instant. I need a bigger space and more information.

Why would they want me dead just because of my blood? You only get rid of something because they are an obstacle for you, revenge or jealousy. I never stepped into their world since this is the first time I'm hearing about this. Or maybe I just didn't realised it?So what does this mean? I know that if I could just figure this out, I can get out from these alive. Preferably with my head intact.

What can I say? I just like to keep my head exactly where it is.
