The Cave

'Well done boy, you always outperform our expectations, the chances of your sister's survival depend on your work, you really understand that very well.'

'woof-woof'

'wow you learn quickly too..., Golden Death'

'My sister...'

'yes-yes, we would let you hear her voice. Just this time,

see that woman going on the pedestrian, she got a bag, red in color...

Inside it there's what you want'

Zeak looked down from the roof top.

There really was a woman walking down the street with a red back.

Zeak dived downwards, falling down with open arms looking towards the night sky.

The sky was full of stars.

The moon was visible aswell,

Shining as brightly as ever.

Then suddenly something happened, Zeak wasn't mid air anymore.

He was standing in front of the woman.

The woman was in her 30s, scared as she looked at him.

She was holding a bag on her side. Along with another bag, a white one on the other hand.

In front of her stood a monstrosity, a man cover in gold.

A right eye that looked just like that of a beast,

More so like a wolf.

His other eye was humanly Blue in color.

The rest of his face was covered with a black cloth.

His tail wagged as he glared at the woman's bag.

'Give it to me' , he said 'I want that footage'

The woman looked at him in tension, and slowly put her hand in her bag and then suddenly, she sprayed pepper spray all over his face making a run for it.

'never in a million years you monster!!!'

Saying that as she ran away from him.

The smell was extremely intense. Zeak could not take it, his eyes became red. He opened his fist and made a rush towards the woman,

And suddenly a huge arm emerged from the woman's chest.

One covered in blood.

In its arms was her heart, torn out and punctured, dripping blood.

'GIVE IT TO MEEEEEE' he growled.

Then suddenly he heard a snap.

Onto his left a girl stood at one of the alleys with a camera in her hands.

She saw him glaring at him and made a run, fading deeper into the darkness making a panicked expression.

The woman in front of him coughed blood.

That snapped him back to reality, 'what-what have I done, again', he said to himself in a cold and shaken voice.

'that footage, I won't hand it Over to you...'

Then the woman went unconscious, forever.

In her hands was another bag, it fell down and something came out of it,

Baby powder...

But Zeak did not notice it, he went for the other one.

The red back consisted of nothing more than a small recorder.

Zeak was about to play it expecting to hear his sister's voice but what came out of it was the woman's voice.

She was a free lancer reporter, and in the footage she was talking about were-wolves.

About how they actually exist...

'Zeak my boy, how much I've grown to love you, you just killed 2 birds with one sto-'

'where's my sister?'

'Oh that, here you can hear the voice just as you wished', said the voice in the microphone...

'brother, i-i don't want to stay here anymore, it's scary and dark in her-'

The voice of a little girl said, trembling in fear.

'that's all you get for this time, this woman you just killed, was on our hit list for quite sometime now' said the voice interrupting the recording.

'she was spying on our activities, so to keep the midnight wolves identity and existence a secret we had to eliminate her, thanks for doing that for us.'

'Youuu BAST-!!!'

'now-now, don't be so pissed, you want your sister's life ensured right???'

'tch-'

'don't you dare crush the microphone again or ill order your sister's execution'

'NO!!! Don't do that' Zeak pleaded standing there and then.

'anyway I gotta go now, remember don't do anything rash, your sister's survival depends on your behavior'

With that, the man cut the call.

Zeke stood there with anger in his eyes.

'Ahhhhhhhh' he screamed in his frustration

Then he finally looked at the other bag that had been lying there,

'wait that powder, this woman???

Don't tell me she has a child !!!'

Zeak looked at the woman's corpse and the at the blood on his hands and let out a howl from his mouth that almost felt like a cry.

Looking at the moon with his depressed eyes...

Meanwhile somewhere else in a lonesome tunnel...

' So there we are Seras, I can see the markings here'

Both Sarah and Seras along with the rest of the group started walking following the directions on the tunnel walls.

Sarah was dressed in a black cloak that covered her completely.

Behind them all was Johnathan, with his forehead bandaged and a changed pair of tshirt and jeans.

He looked like always,

Masculine and determined.

'Brave as ever I see, you haven't forgotten about it have you sweety?' said Sarah looking at Johnathan with her black eyes giving off another one of those expressions she rarely gave, curling her blonde hair.

'At this point I'm too tired to say STFU again, say whatever you want'

He had a tiresome expression on his face, with content and a smile he was trying hard to hide

'why do you keep teasing him like that', said another voice from behind.

'Oh Carla sweety, why are you so jealous. It's your younger brother and you love him a lot, We all get that. Don't worry no one's trying to take him away from you'

On hearing that, Carla made a pouting expression.

Everyone gave out a giggle.

Seras stood there silently not saying a thing.

They kept on walking till the end of the inscriptions.

Then Seras pressed on a brick that had been slightly out...

Suddenly the bricks all started to reform and a door was standing behind them right then and there.

It was of red color.

On it was written, (Wolfer Residencial No. 307

"No trespassing, if caught doing it. You'll be shot on sight, or worse we will throw you to the owner. JUST REMEMBER 'Forget the DOG,

Beware the owner'.")

'Good ol cheeky hideout' said Sarah.

Seras slowly knocked on the door thrice

From behind a voice said, 'So whose the mf Knockin on the door, are you blind or something? Didn't you read the warning?'

'An apple a day keeps idiots away'

'so what do I do about it you damn prick oh wait...'

'who thought of such a dumb password?' said Sarah.

'it was you, you prick', said Carla.

'still with the angry mood I see'

Suddenly the door opened and in front of them was a huge room full of sofas and tons of empty space.

On one corner was a huge crowd gathered.

They all had a gloomy expression.

Somewhere around 14 to 17 youngsters.

The gang walked in and sat on the sofas,

The room was quiet.

It was huge with a staircase that led to a series of doors all labeled differently.

"Welcome to the cave" was written all over the wall at the very edge of the room, opposite side to the door.

'what happened, why has everyone gathered in one place like this?'

'OH hey Tyler', said a guy from among the crowd.

'it's Team R0C3, they were completely wiped out, navigator included...'

'the lone survivor was Melissa, even she lost her right arm'

'What???' The group looked horrified with the news.

'wait this can't be....'

'Weren't there, like 19 of them? ' said a voice.

'they were all skilled as well'

Amidst all those different shocked voices, one voice overshadowed every other, it was Seras.

An expression of deep anger, an aura of intense rage.

' WHO WAS ITTTT???!!!???'

a girl without an arm stood up, an expression of fear in her eyes. Not of Seras but of something else...

'It was him... THE GOLDEN DEATH'
