Kaminoniki

"How could that be, right?" The boy smiled and said it for Medusa.

Medusa is speechless; her jaw drops wide open, it is big enough to fit a full grown apple. She couldn't believe the fact that the boy that was killed brutally by the man, and now he is standing in front of her like nothing happen.

"I think you forget what I've told you!" The man seems disappointed.

"What?" Medusa is lost; she doesn't know what the boy is referring to because it is too much to take in for her at the moment.

"Are you debating wheater or not to kill the man? Why are you hesitating? Don't you remember what I've told you before?" The boy asks.

"No...I..." Medusa suddenly feels ashamed of her action. She now remembers the story the boy told him, and somehow a speech the man said to her after killing the boy; it is all starting to appears in her mind,

"You need to be self-fish...You will not survive in the outside world if you are not strong enough...You need to be like demons!"

She remembers it like it was a vivid picture. The consequences of her not listening to what the boy told her. Finding her self still stuck in the place she hates. Still living the life like before or even worst, not being able to eat until full, not being able to sleep because she is weak. She doesn't want that life ever again! She wants to change; she wants the life that the boy promised her, a life that she can sleep until the sun is up high in the sky, a life that will not ever need to worry about not have food to satisfy her hunger, a life where she can have all the freedom that

The light flashes again like the first time; Medusa closes her eyes again like the first time, then she opens. She sees the man is walking closer to her; however, this time Medusa didn't have any sign of backing out. The expression in her eyes is sharp like an eagle, announcing its territory; she is declaring her freedom from the man. She has changed, not just a little; it is like she is a whole new person. Even the man that is trying to hurt her can feel the pressure she creates toward her. However, the possessive desire inside him takes control of his body. Even though he can feel Medusa's threat, he still wants to get her for him to use.

Medusa didn't say anything, she picked up the rifle on the floor and pointed at the man. The man is shocked for a moment, but soon comes back to her normal stage and laughs,

"Hahaha! Do you want to shoot me? The last time I recall that you used a rifle was this morning. You still don't not how to pull the trigger! How dear are you pointing that gun at me! Put it down! Or else I'll increase your punishment when I get you back to my house! Hahaha"

"Bang!" not warns was given; Medusa shoots the man without even given him his last chance to beg.

The man's facial expression is strange looking; he couldn't believe what he has witnessed, a girl that learn how to shoot not too long ago have the guts to pull the trigger on a man that is stronger than her. He was shocked, then later turns into confusion. He doesn't know what turns her into a cold-blooded monster; a second ago she was still a weak girl that is begging for help, now she is a hunter, and he is the prey.

After killing the man, Medusa didn't stay to rest. Maybe is because she doesn't want to stay around dead crops too much or she just too afraid after killing a man. After all, she is still a young teenage girl; she never seems stuff like that happens before. Killing a person that gets in her way? It's her first time! The house she burns down was nothing like this one. If she didn't burn down the house, she would of be dead by now; she has no choice to choose. However, this time she has an option to choose. She could of warn the man to back off before taking that shoot, but she didn't want to. She shot him without giving the man a second chance; she chooses to kill him instead because she has changed.

As Medusa is walking away, a familiar sound rings upon her head,

"Good job!"

"Who is there!" Medusa turns around with her gun in her hand ready to fire.

"I guess you have changed!" The owner of the sound appears in front of her with a bright smile on his face.

Medusa's tears busted out from her eyes and started to drip, then it turns into a cry fest, and she collapsed on the boy.

"There, there! I'm here!" The boy softly comforts Medusa while petting Medusa on the head.

Medusa looks up at the boy and opens her mouth ready to speak, the boy cuts her off and said,

"I know what you want to say! Why am I still alive?"

Medusa nodded her head implying yes.

"I guess you forget what I've told you back in the mansion?" The boy smiles.

Medusa didn't say anything but falls into silence trying to get back her memories in the mansion.

"You are unkillable?" After a while, Medusa suddenly opens her mouth and said.

"Somewhat like that! I'm like your angle, but without power." The boy said.

Medusa shakes her head saying she doesn't understand what the boy means.

"I can't help you with anything in reality, and no one can see me in reality. I'm like your imaginary friend. However, I can give you comfort, and gives you advice. For instance, I give you the guts to do what your heart tells you to do. Unfortunately, I can't kill the man for you." The boy patiently explains.

"Will you leave me?" Medusa nodded and asks.

The boy looks Medusa in the eye with pa.s.sion and kisses her on the lips.

After a while and said,

"I've never left you. I'm always here with you."
