Chapter 11 - True Nature

"Evil and dangerous?" Hunter mulled over the words, his frowned. "Evil and dangerous? I get he's evil since he took away my… uh… nothing," he muttered "But how is he dangerous?"

The girl standing before him wore a slightly horrified expression. Her eyes shifted, haunted by memory.

"He has unimaginable powers," she began, her voice tight. "Powers that are out of the concept of reality. Sometimes, he even talks to someone who isn't there."

Hunter's asked curiously. "What kind of powers?"

She hesitated, then her body tensed. "I saw him," she said, her voice suddenly filled with sorrow. "He can stop time… and kill people." Her words hung in the air like frost.

"Yesterday… he killed my little brother. We were together, and then… time just stopped. Everything froze. And then he appeared—Sorrowful. He killed him."

Hunter's eyes narrowed. "And no one knows about this?"

She shook her head "No. It's like he never existed."

Hunter felt a cold shiver crawl down his spine. "Then… how do you remember this?"

The girl's eyes darted around cautiously. Then, without a word, she reached into her pocket and slowly drew out an object. Resting in her palm was a slim phone—its screen dark, yet heavy with unspoken secrets.
