Chapter 9 - Sub Chapter-Beast Train

The boy carried his partner across. Any guest who bothered to ask him about the girl would get told he was going to take her to the staff infirmary and would soon come back to them. A quick lie on the spot. >>Those idiots wouldn't even know what a train layout looks like<< thought the boy to himself. He took his partner not to the infirmary; there was no such thing in the train, it was a simple train, not a luxury one. He brought her to the workers' only area, where, inside, he saw two of his coworkers, both looking at the door to see who had entered. Seeing the boy had brought a non-worker there, they grunted out, already wanting to complain before asking anything.

"I thank you two for having treated me decently till now." They looked confused at first. They saw their colleague putting the girl on a chair, and the next moment, he started attacking. They had no chance to defend themself, they were just simply men, and two men cannot defeat a beast. The girl looked at her colleague, sighing, "Why bother thanking them when you were going to kill them in the end, Rudolf?" The boy called Rufold would look at her with a smile. Blood and flesh were stuck around his teeth, and the corpses of the two men who were his colleagues.

He walked to the girl and kneeled, holding her hand. "Remi, my dear sister, I understand your perspective, how it all seems meaningless, but if I don't do that, would I be better than a mere animal?" He asked his sister, the two were related by faith and nothing more, but were family nonetheless.

"So what, you openly called me sister in front of that damn chief inspector!" She looked furiously at Rudolph and stood up in her anger. Her throat was bruised from Aiden's grip and pressure, still hurting even now. "I expected him to be a bit more dangerous, but that he would strike like that." She rubbed her throat, feeling unreal even now that it had happened.

"Also, why didn't he get knocked out fast from the laced cigarette? Did you even do the dosage right?" She turned her anger now to her brother, who raised his hand in defence. "There is nothing wrong with the dosage; that man was simply too much of a crackhead. It was the usual dose that would make any man fall unconscious."

"Even then, it is partially your fault; you shouldn't have provoked him that much, especially seeing how relaxed he was. I expected him to be someone trained, but a chief inspector…that became more troublesome than I expected." The badge of Aiden looked like any other badge that made it obvious he was an officer, which is why they had thought he would be a simple target to get rid of and replace, but they had bitten off more than they could chew.

"We will have to create a large incident to throw our steps off. We have already been searched by our local police. I don't want to imagine what will happen when the police of the capital come after us." Remi said, scared. She only got to the capital once for a short time for a simple errand, but having been there, she saw the difference in how the people there lived and how the police acted.

The goal was quite simple: get the officer to fall for her provocation and start a fight. The passengers wouldn't step in, and the train would be at a disadvantage, so any officer would do their best to take it outside and deal with the troublemaker then.

"How expensive are his clothes…they are likely worth tens of credits." The number caught Remi in surprise as she couldn't help but shout it, "IT WOULD BE WORTH HOW MUCH?" Tens of credits were a number too large for anybody. Having one credit would make a person wealthier than 94% of the population, with the number of people decreasing the higher the number of credits is.

"How the hell can he afford it! Was he someone powerful? Remi was filled with fear, her nails extending as she pulled her hair. She was biting her lip, causing it to bleed, leaving a dark reddish color. Rudolph grabbed her by the shoulder and shook her. "Be calm, sister!" He shouted to her, catching her attention. Her eyes were dilated, but she now stared towards her brother.

"We are not alone, and the apostle is with us. The apostle is merciful, so I'm sure he can help us or know something about this man." She listened to him, the reason for her. She nodded, giving in. Her pupils are returning to normal. When she was in worry, he was there, and the two were together as long as they could remember.

She touched the face of Rudolph, touching the site of his left eye. There was nothing, or that's how it seemed. The eyes of Remi would glow in a yellowish color, revealing the true face of Rudolph, one filled with scars, with an eye that was blind, but so was her face. Scars on the mouth, a wound made by a sharp object. "Let us prepare to leave then, when the train stops, brother," She said softly.

"Do you not regret following me when you could live a life that isn't as harsh as this? If you had stayed with your family, you wouldn't have gone through this." The guilt was eating her inside, every time she saw the face of Rudolph with the scars that happened because of her.

"I do not regret Remi, if not for you, who would I tease then, and even then you wouldn't survive out there without me, as you are too direct when you act." A small joke to lighten the mood, the innocent talk of two children whose hands are soaked in blood.

"The fate of a child is never kind. Some are destined to have a beautiful story, while others are living in the reality called life. What is reality, however, when not suffering?"-Note of the Medium.
