Chapter 3

The battle in the riverside mall has ended, the police asked me what to do with my parents, I told them to cremate their bodies.

The news about the riverside mall went viral and the headline was "A level 1 hunter destroyed higher level monsters!"

The reporters asked them who the man was and luckily they hid my identity.

"I'll rest for a while."

I stood up, turn off the tv and went up-stairs. I passed to my parent's room and stopped for a while. I wanted to open the door but I retracted my hands from the doorknob.

"Mom and Dad, sorry if I didn't reach you. Sorry if I didn't save you. I have the abilities but I was so stupid. If only I knew what will happen!"

Few tears fell from my eyes, I left their door and proceed to my room. I didn't eat dinner nor take a shower. I just immediately went to sleep.

It was midnight and I felt cold. It's like my strength was being sucked out.

"Damn! Whats this feeling?!"

Sweat was covering me as if I was taking a shower. Then I felt the pain that I never experience before.

"Ugh!! Help me!"

I wanted to scream. It feels like my body was being torn and assembled. I grab my forehead and massaged it for a little but the pain was unbearable.

I lost the will and I fainted.

Ring!! Ring!!

"Huh? It's morning already?"

I opened my eyes and my vision was still blurry. I turned the alarm off and stood up.

"What was happening to me last night?

Just by remembering it, I felt a chill down to my spine.

Ding dong! Ding dong!

"Eh? It's still early in the morning? Coming!"

I went to the bathroom and washed my face. I didn't even look at the mirror. I just went downstairs and open the door.

"Ender! Open! It's me, Mia! Why didn't you answer my calls last night! I was worried!"

"E-ender?! Am I in the wrong house?!"

Mia was my best friend since we were young. She didn't even leave me even thou our schools were different.

"It's me, idiot."

"Ugh! Your so mean!"

I flicked her forehead, she grabbed me and went inside to our house while locking the door.

"What happened to you!? Your hair! Your eyes!"

"What are you trying to say? I know you are dumb but you're also colorblind? Poor you!"

I approached her and caressed her hair while teasing her. She punches my stomach while pouting!

"Ouch?!"

"Look at the mirror!"

She opened her bag and grabbed her mirror. She was holding it then she let me look at my self.

"What the?!"

"See?!"

My black hair turned white and my eyes were colored red and golden. Yes, my left eye was red and my right eye was golden.

"Now?! You believe me?!"

"Why are you blushing?"

I nodded while having thoughts to my self as well. In fact, I really look so handsome. Mia was blushing and it was very cute. I pinched my cheeks to check if it was a dream but I felt the pain.

"What are you doing?"

"N-nothing."

"Mia? Please don't spread what happened to me!"

"Don't worry! As your best friend, I won't tell anyone!"

"When you say that! It makes me worried!"

I stood up and made breakfast for the two of us. For a moment, I forgot what happened to my parents and trying to move on.

'Thankfully Mia came here or I might lose my mind!'

While cooking, she was watching tv, opened the refrigerator while talking some snacks. As if it was her house.

"So? What are you doing this early in the morning? Did you hear about what happened to my parents?"

"Yes! That is why I'm very worried last night! You didn't answer my calls!"

While cooking, I took the phone out of my pocket and look for how many miscalls she was trying to say and she was right. 25 missed calls.

"Mia?"

"Yes?" She replied while eating cookies.

"Thank you for worrying about me!".

"Of course! I'm your best friend!"

I finished cooking then I asked her to prepare plates on the table. I only cooked bacon and egg with cold fresh milk.

"Mia, you have a class right?"

"Yes, but its this afternoon so don't worry about it!"

Mia smiled, she became much more beautiful. She has black hair that reached her waist. Brown eyes and a pretty face that looks like 17 years old even thou she was 19 already.

"Thank you for the food Ender!"

"No problem, If you want to rest or you're bored just watch television okay? I'm going to di my daily routine.

I left her in the living room and proceed to my room to do my daily exercises.

"Ender is so handsome!"

I took photos of him secretly, I don't want to tell him because he will flick my forehead again!"

"Yosh! 12 photos saved!"

While touching the screen of my phone. I opened facebook and watch what happened yesterday to the riverside mall. The video was very clear and not censored like what they did on tv.

"Wait?! This hoodie! This is Ender's!"

As his best friend, I know what his favorites are! And I know this hoodie belongs to him! Even the body posture of the man! This is Ender! My best friend!

I stood up and went to his room.

- - - - -

"Ender you idiot!"

"Wait, Mia? What's wrong?"

"Don't what's say what's wrong! This is you right!?"

She raised her phone in front of me. I smirked. It seems like I can't really escape when it comes to her.

"Sorry."

"Idiot!"

Her tears fell down, she was hitting my chest while saying 'Idiot' 'stupid' and other befitting curses for a stupid person like me.

To be honest I lost my senses yesterday. That is why I did not know what happened.

But when I clearly saw the video. I see a monster. Not me.
