*ROAAAAAR*

the huge panther like creature was so quick and agile that it quickly shorten the distance between it and its prey, stretching its black vertical crescent bone blade. it directed its attack towards, Neo who is about to escape inside a huge old building.

Neo has survived for 4 years ,while taking care of his sister, he had so many encounters with this monsters that he almost lost count, and every time that a huge monster spot him , there is only one solution in his mind,

run as fast as you can and hide as soon as possible, thats why he felt safer traveling in around old city ruins where many building could be potential hiding spots.

some of this monsters, had high sense of smell so walking sneakily as possible, will only slow there traveling speed, leading to food shortage. so instead of walking sneakily, he decided to remember every small hiding spot he saw on the road.

so after he saw the monster, he already knew where direction to run. normally this strategy will work, but because of his weakened body. his running speed is extremely reduced, and it caused a terrible thing to happen.

*slaaaash*

blood splattered on the wall of the first floor of the 10 storey building, the panther monster crescent blade has managed to reach Neo's back creating long parallel cut , that spans from his shoulders to his waist.

but luckily the huge bag on Neo's was wearing managed to absorb most of the damage, as Neo's supplies flew out of the broken bag, but thanks to that only the tip of the blade has manage to hit Neo's flesh.

if someone would inspect the wound ,he can see that there are no bone broken, but because the wound is long and an inch deep, dying from loss of blood will be a possibility

"khaa'"a muffled grunt escaped Neo's mouth, but instead of stopping, he endured the burning pain in his back, as he continues to walk deeper inside the old building. while holding his sister, that is shaking from fear in his embrace,

*bang* *scraaaaach* *bang* *scraaaach*

the huge panther started to destroy the walls of the building, while forcefully squeezing its body inside the narrow hole where it prey just escaped.

it must be so desperate for food that, its willing to make such huge effort just catch two small humans.

*bang* *scratch* *Roaaaar* *scratch*

ignoring the monster rampaging in his back, Neo slowly walk towards the corner of the building, with his shaking legs he tried sitting in the dusty floor of the old building, but because of too much pain, fatigue and hunger, he only managed to kneel.

"Alice...its alrigth now" Neo said gently with his weakening voice. Alice who is shaking from to much fright a moment ago, slowly opened her eyes, only to see that his brother is bathing on his own blood.

"brother!" Alice yelp in shock. as feeling of helplessness invaded her mind,

she can see her brother slowly losing his life. so without wasting more time she jump away from her brother embrace, before hurriedly trying to stop the bleeding in her brother's wounds with her tiny hands.

"brother! hang on.....don't close your eyes!" Alice, wailed in sorrow and powerlessness, while a sense of terror could be seen in her eyes.

*crack* *crack*

the 10 storey building suddenly cracked because of the monster that was trying to squeeze its head inside it, then a few second later, the upper part of building finally collapsed.

*bang* *crash*

the panther that still got its head stuck inside the first floor didn't had enough time to escape, as falling debris hit its body hard while being buried alive by it at the same time. but thanks to that, it sealed the opening of the building where the sibling went.

*Roaaaar*

but after a brief moment, the beast that is one's covered by debris started to move, shaking the off the cement blocks in its body, the monster only managed to take one step forward, before finally succumbing to its injury, and falling to the ground with a *tud*

on the building Alice could not careless about whats happening outside, she opened her little bag and took a metal case that contains her first aid kit. "brother...i will hate you, for life if you close your eyes!" Alice yelled, as she open her metal case with her shaking hands.

"do-nt...wo..rry, your.. brother ... will... just.. sleep... here.. for a.. little... whi-"Neo didn't finish his word before he suddenly collapsing on the ground motionless.

"bro-ther.. open your eyes! "Alice tried shaking her brother with her tiny hands, but Neo didn't respond.

"brother Neo?"having no response, from her brother, Alice's mind became momentarily became blank.

"broooother!!" Alice mourned,

*sniff* *sniff*

a sweet smell of meat assulted Neo's nose who is currently half awake, smelling the aroma of an appetizing food Neo's first response is opening his hazy eyes.

even thought Neo felt like the world is spinning and his body is heavy to move, the unbearable hunger pushed him to search for the food that has been releasing the inviting smell.

he crawled awkwardly, while letting his nose guide him to the foods direction. he crawled to the floor then to a gap in the rubbles.

letting his primal instincts take over his mind, the only thing that Neo wanted rigth now it to find and eat what ever kind of food it was.

he could smell that its very near him, trying to focus his hasty eyes ,he saw the corpse of the monster that attacked him and his sister just a while ago, thanks to the moonlight.

he was so shock ,because the smell coming from the corpse was stimulate his urge to bite and eat it.

he resisted the urge to take a bite from that the piece of meat being displayed to him, but the shearing hunger over throwned his will to resist.

ignoring his sanity, he took a huge bite from the carcass, Neo felt that he needs more...much, much, much more. so without stopping he started ripping the flesh of the carcass with his teeth, then swallowed it without even chewing.

how can a weakened man tear thru tough monster meat with its bare teeth. that thought only crossed Neo's mind for only few a second, before setting it aside, and resumed devouring the carcass one bite at a time.

*craaaaanch*

the panther bones felt so brittle to bite, but the taste of it is unexplainably good, and it taste much better the Panthers meat. he also grabbed the claws of the beast and started eating it like popcorns,

after few hours of eating non stop the only thing that was left in the Panthers body was its its pair of crescent bone blade.

but Neo could not care less he grabbed one of those blade and started munching it. only after that Neo got very tired and soon pass out the second time.

after that a row of notification has materialized in his mind.
