Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Regret

The sound of munching and crunching ruled over the night. The moon shined brightly over a brutal site. 

A creature of a human body, arms of beasts, biting on a lifeless beast body, swallowing it whole. 

The sight was brutal. The predator is being butchered by what's supposed to be the prey.

 There were two witnesses of that butcher Terrified witnesses.

Nina gripped her sword terrified of the creature in front of her P-PO-POJAY what is that.

 My brother that's my brother. What happened to him? pojay replied terrifyingly. 

What we should do can we just kill it? or should we go? come-on make a decision for that thing sunk it fangs in us. 

seed..... Seed..... SEED 

ah! seed looked at POJAY. His eyes are completely red, his mouth was full of blood. 

What's wrong, POJAY? All the creatures of the night are dead. Why don't you have your UV lights on? Nina, I'm glad you're okay. 

Pojay was terrified. Same as Nina. Was that a devil talking to them? Or their friend, brother and ally? 

What are you doing, Seed? What has overcome you to do this? pojay thought.

 Is there something wrong? Why do both of you are looking at me like that? seed said 

and then he looked at himself. He saw that his clothes was covered in blood and his arm at fur and claws, sharp enough to dig in meat.

Oh, I don't look really pleasant, I see. seed realized

 they look at me like I'm a monster. pojay I'm your brother. Nina, you saved my life, when POJAY and I we're sparring. it's me seed

 I know that for sure, but what happened to you? pojay said

you're supposed to be 15 turning to 16 You wanted a job. You wanted to depend on yourself. 

he swallowed. 

then some debris falls on your head at the construction site. You go to the hospital, and all of a sudden you're a different.

 you want to spar with me, your full of life, laughing in the face of death. 

he looked at Seed.

You changed. Maybe for the better. 

ah? What do you mean for the better? 

I mean, I'm thankful for you saving our lives. You are my brother, and you will always be forever my brother. pojay side 

seed felt a relief. my brother didn't see me as a monster. But he's just worried about me. 

how can I keep your powers a secret form the military school. If the military ever knows that you have a shadow ability and you can control it, you're going to be a guinea pig. pojay said

What happened to you, Seed? Tell us. Nina said 

seed, I don't know. I was at the construction work and then I saw black and then there was that horrible nightmare of corpses rising from the ground eating my flesh. My blood starts to glow. Then I wake up in the hospital bed and I see all of a sudden this system screen. 

A system screen, pojay said. 

I never recall of someone that had a system before. pojay continued. 

Yeah and I don't know how my powers work. seed said

 first of all, we need to get you new clothes. We cannot let you walk in public with bloody clothes. Nina said.

thanks to you all, the night creatures are cleared, and we can move freely now pojay said . 

Come on, let's wait for sunrise in my house Nina said. 

come on brother give me your hand get up pojay said.

pojay can I ask a question. how you do it? how after every battle you take against the night creatures you come out of it like there's nothing ever happened. the night creature were human before you know that had family, life, people to grave on, people to have fun with. 

Seed. They are already dead. You're just putting them to rest. pojay said

oh then I put a lot of them to rest. Seed realized. 

Okay, then, let's head for Nina's house. pojay said any time now, more of these creatures could surround us again. 

As they still walk in the night, Pojay used his UAV light, so as Nina did while Seed tried to use his, but it started to burn his skin. 

ah it burns. System. Are there any other solutions? Wait, does that mean I cannot walk into the sunlight again?
