As the night passed by, though clouds and the moon starts to begin its phase, it was a quiet and peaceful night, as the strong air arises to the city, causes a very cold impact wherein even fallen leaves were swaying, flowing of what the cold fresh air will take them.
People in each city began to cover their selves with a soft cotton blanket,
for those who were living homeless starts to cover their body with a thick cardboard found dumped in the market which they endure in this cold night,
and those who live inside nipa houses were covering their selves up with just a soft clothing, apparently, still giving them chills.
Sleeping with covers on the floor..
yawn
"This is my first time sleeping with someone in one roof again"
; Selene, whispers, staring at Methedeces while sleeping.
"I wonder if I could keep this up"
turns.
"If I'll be able to find my self with a friend again.."
Methedeces, looking asleep but he was quietly listening to Selene's spoken thoughts.
36 minutes have passed..
"WAKE UPPPP METHEDECES!!!"
; Selene, yelling in front of Methedeces waking him up 5:30 in the morning.
startled.
"What the hell Selene?"
; Still sleepy, Methedeces asked.
"Hey now, we need to search for food, we won't be able to survive here, you see"
; Crossed her arms, still standing.
"Buuut it's to early, can please just leave me? you go get some food I'll sleep here"
; turns.
Out of irritation, Selene started to kick Methedeces.
Methedeces quickly sat down, as his back hurts because of the flat surface they've been sleeping.
"Argh, it hurts. What was that for?"
; Asked Methedeces, looking down to his legs.
"I don't know, maybe waking you up, I'm not you mother, sister, neither partner, so you better help me out"
; Selene replied.
"Yeah, yeah, but you blabber like a mom right there"
; Teasing.
"hehe"
Selene started to kick Methedeces 2 more times again.
"AAAARGHHH stop now will youu, my back hurts, don't make my hips and legs turn out like that too, I might not able to move huhu"
; Methedeces, swiping his legs.
"Then you better get up now"
; Selene, left Methedeces, goes outside.
"Oh, we're still on lockdown are we? I wonder where people were"
; Looking continuously at the houses with empty people outside.
Methedeces started to prepare as he is going with Selene at the market.
Steps outside.
"Ohh, lockdown isn't it?"
; Asked Methedeces, standing behind Selene.
"So what are we gonna do now, mommy?"
; looked down at Selene.
Selene started to kick his legs more than she kicked earlier.
"S-stoppp, please I was just teasing you"
; Begging for mercy.
"Really, since we can't go to the market right now and we'll be starving here, I'll better kick your ass out"
; Selene, grins.
"You monsterr!!"
; Methedeces was about to smack Selene.
A soldier appeared in front of them.
Both Selene and Methedeces looked at the tall soldier looking down at them, standing straight while his hands were on his back.
"Ahem"
; The soldier interrupted.
"Si-sir"
; Methedeces, straight his body up, salutes, and was nervous.
"I just wanted to inform you both that--"
"Yeah, it's lockdown, were sorry"
; Selene.
"No.. but yes. Still, I bet you don't remember me, I was with one of the soldiers who were looking for the boy who stole from the market, so I came here because maybe you both decided to go for the offer or shall I say the reward?"
; Asked, the soldier.
"We don't--"
"Ah, can you gives us one more day to think about it?"
; Methedeces interrupted Selene.
"Okay, tomorrow will be"
; Responded.
The soldier walked his way away, Selene and Methedeces entered the house as the soldier left.
closed the door.
" Really? are you going to think about that sort of job?"
; Asked Selene to Methedeces, standing infront of the door.
"I mean, neither you nor me can survive here without earning heros don't you think?"
; asked Methedeces, crossed his arms.
"I think if you can't, I can"
; Selene responded.
"I can agree with that, if that's your true nature, besides I don't even know you"
; Methedeces.
"Aw, that's way harsh, I shall tell a story then"
; Selene, sits.
"So, I live alone and I needed to survive within my own skills or whatever it is just to survive, actually I'm not like those kind of bastards who do dirty things just to earn heros or fine living, I'm fine with that as long as I eat or get a sleep, I don't know what age I started living alone, but now that I'm 17, I think I've gotten a long journey to survive my life which I do whatever it takes"
; Selene, finished telling her slight background.
"Oh.. I'm the same as you, I live alone too since I was 12, my parents did not abandoned me, my father left and decided to give me heros and foods before he decided to do that, but since I'm just 12 back there I can't pay for the rent, so then I decided to join Euzaniars, there, I earn respect, I get to sleep in comfort, even eat healthy foods, that's why I respect the soldiers very much, they provided necessities that my father lacks to provide some for me"
; Methedeces, narrate while his head was bowed down.
"I see, you deserve a place more than just living outside for nothing, better than mine"
; Replied.
"Why didn't you just joined Euzaniars? I mean, everyone in capable of is free to join"
; Methedeces asked.
"I don't feel joining or being involved by these men, I do have a feeling for respecting them but I don't know why I wouldn't want to be with them, by the way, you said your father left you, so is he still alive?"
"I'm sorry for asking but I was just curious that he didn't abandoned you but left you just like--"
"Who knows. He didn't abandoned me because he got to work very hard and come back when he had enough, I agreed with that since my mom died, it's also my decision to leave the house because we have no money to pay for the rent, everything went smoothly until the attack of Lau Spring"
; Methedeces answered.
"Oh, I'm sorry for what happened, as what I've heard. But thank you for sharing anyway"
; Selene
"You just shared too, I should also give what I received haha"
; chuckles.
"By the way Selene, mind if I ask you a question?'
; Asked Methedeces, looking at Selene.
"Yeah sure!"
;Selene responded.
"Why do you live alone?"
; Asked.
"Oh hahhahaha, well, uhm, I don't know how to put this up but, I was also left alone, but different from you, because I was literally abandoned, I don't know why or what happened but I also don't know if I do deserve it, I did nothing wrong but then I was thrown where I only saw darkness and screams inside me calling for help when everybody was looking at me disgusted"
; Selene, feelings down.
"What? why would people look at you with disgust. Sometimes people do are cruel, they only think about what came first without understanding what's behind those nightmares. I resent them, but not all, a desire of revenge won't be formed unless it was acted upon"
; Selene suddenly hugged Methedeces tightly.
Grip.
"Hey, Selene, what's that"
; Methedeces asked.
"I don't know, but I think you're the best"
"Silly, let's just ask the guards if we're able to go to the market just for this time"
; Looking far away, as he speaks, he looked at Selene.
"Yeah! great idea let's go"
; Turns back, feeling excited.
