Chapter 365 - 365. The Sokk family

In mid of big city suddenly people started disappearing. Ne matter day or night, they were petrified. Many sat into their cars and started driving Away. Even the military came as their general came to this town and disappeared as well.

"Quickly, run!" Two children held bags with food and fearfully turned around to are man and woman slowly walking towards them.

Kendra looked at ghostly streets. "This is the last city. But I fear this place will be hardest to clean."

Suddenly a man appeared slowly and walked towards them with a huge smile. "You two must be new in this city. My name is Malek. I'll be your guide today."

Kendra and Oi just stood there silently and watched his movements. "A human."

"Of course, what else does it exist here?" The man had mixed feelings. They seem human, but are they really?

"Then, lead the way." Kendra was seriously curious. Who would dare to send for them this openly?

The two people didn't even wink with eyelids as they entered the subway and were led deeper and deeper into the underground. Strange shadows followed them, but they just calmly walked one step after another. 

Malek was petrified. Not even those creatures were this calm. What if he made a mistake? What if these... Just when he was contemplating to turn around and show them something else a young girl stepped forward and stopped him. ''Malek, you go back. I will bring them further.''

Malek was unsure what to do. From one side he hoped that they will help them but form another side the greed for power was there. No matter what he must leave this place as soon as possible. He must, or he might disappear like others.

In passing, he saw the man giving him a slight nod and ensuring smile and his back became cold. What does that mean? Does he know about this place? In that case...

He suddenly stopped and turned around, but nothing cud be seen. A deadly silence surrounded him and his rushed steps echoed in the long hallway. Finally, when he was outside and saw the warm sun he breathed in relief. Just for a second, he stopped, took a short breath and started running towards the nearest car. He must run away, far...

In the underground, the music resonated in the huge room where thousands of people danced almost in trance. As their wet bodies rubbed at each other they just continued not noticing the disgusting smell surrounding this place.

Unfortunately, Kendra noticed it. With a wave of the hand, she summoned another layer of protection and moved further in. She let Oi suffer the smell and chuckled as he beggingly stared at her in the hope she would help him. But to no avail, she ignored his big shiny eyes and just continued while small smile enveloped corners of her lips.

But soon the smile started disappearing as she saw raw of people standing on another end of the room and just stared at the group of dancing people and chose from them. ''Brother, I like that girl over there...'' 

One of the young women pointed at a chubby girl dancing in mid of the room. A young man just shook his head. ''Impossible. She is unhealthy. After she becomes healthier you can have her. I don't want my sister to get sick. And Cax, stop playing with your food. It's not a plaything.''

Cax was another young man that held a sleeping child in his hands. ''I like tender food. This one is anyway sickly and won't survive until full age to reproduce. Let me have it.''

Kendra heard the main man just sighing. ''If its that way, you can have it. But give it a quick death. Last time the food was screeching in pain and gave me huge headache. So stop torturing them. Just swallow them in one piece. Understood?'' He rubbed his temples and rose his hand as he saw the little girl that came forward with two people.

Suddenly the music stopped and all humans just dropped to the floor and fell asleep just where they are. ''I see two newbies in our club. Very good. Both are healthy examples. They will be brought to the reproduction room. Mi, very well done. You can choose food for tonight. One is whole for you as a gift.''

The little girl in front of Kendra jumped a few times while clapping hands. ''Big brother, really? Truly? Tonight I can choose my own food?''

The young man patted her head and smiled. ''Yes. Tonight, you can choose your own meal. Now go, I need to bring these two people inside. And rest of you go, you have work to do.''

Kendra chuckled and saw their astonished expressions. ''Go where? Tsk, tsk. An intelligent Sokk. I guess you or ate your own parents or you killed them. Isn't it so?''

Oi nodded. ''Yes. Sokk usually kills its own parents and siblings in fear that they will make more children. That could be dangerous for their own offsprings. Nasty little creatures. But I am curious. If you become intelligent, why did you keep such a nasty character? Killing and eating your own kind?''

The few young people suddenly growled and stepped forward.

''Who are you and how do you know what we are?'' They stared at them while their eyes became slowly red.

''I come from the original world. I am an Oi. How much do you all know about our world?'' Oi stepped forward while the youths became calm again. Scarily fast calm.

Kendra just waited on the side, Mi, the little girl from before, poked her over and over again. ''What is it?''

''You seem tender and soft. I like my food tender and soft.'' But then furrowed her eyebrows. ''But, why can't I touch your skin?''

Kendra actually liked children, but this was not a normal child. This was meat-eating Sokk that is actually trying to dig a hole into her flesh with one of her nails. She flicked her head and made the child just stumble and fall.

the young man suddenly let low growl. ''What are you doing?''

''Me?'' Kendra innocently pointed at herself with big eyes. ''Doing something you people were doing to humans. Hurting her... what are you gonna do? Eat me?'' Her smile became brighter and suddenly the little girl disappeared...
