2 The Hunt Begins

"Uh!What...."her voice echoed,"Where am I?.. . .Who am I?!"she could feel that she is lying down on a moist ground.It is a bed of white flowers shining on the ground."How charming!But why are these flowers in a place like this without any light."Indeed it was dark but it was so dark that one cannot see anything past the flowers.

"Hey you woke up yet."A voice came from a little afar.Her senses were still dull from just waking up.She couldn't make where the sound came from.

"Why are still staring in the air?Are you deaf or something?"she tried to look carefully through the dark.She saw a bloodred scarf floating in air with a shining red little accessory,some kind of cross.She tried to look more carefully,it was a guy wearing total black.It was a young boy wearing a black overcoat with a black hat peculiar to that of a hunter,white hair with a red odd cross on his ear.He had shining red eye but his left eye was covered with a rose eyepatch,black with a tint of red shade.He was moving like he was dancing with his whole body on his steel boots making sparks everywhere like it was colliding with something.He had little piece of metal in both of his hands.It was a lot like a piece of art having a long metal tube but the real wonder is the butterfly of fire that was coming out of it with a loud melanchony.

"Can you even talk,Long ears?"the boy asked.

"Yes...."she was still in daze.

"If you can,that's good.I hope you can also fight because if you can't,you may not ever talk again."

Still confused,she stood up.She noticed all the groaning sounds and craving hungriness around her.

She felt red shining beastly eyes all around her.She quickly became on guard and start mumbling.

FIRE! out of thin air,came out of her hand and engulfed all the beasts around her.The flames lightened her surrounding a little,enabling her to make what was admist the darkness around her.Seeing all the monsters around her,crawling for a single drop of blood made her head ache severely,she started remembering herself.

"Charming,aren't they!All these little beasts around us?"

The 'Little beasts' were beyond description.They were more like malforms;some having mouths with vicious fangs on their chests;some with many eyes along their whole body;some with limbs unknown to even madman,coming out of their mouths.

"Who are you?Where am I?What in the Heavens are this creatures?!!"

"Dead men tell no tales,work on your sorceries or you'll be dead before I answer anything."

"I am already on my toes,just spe....

The boy suddenly pointed his metal tube in his hand at her *click* a loud sharp noise bursted out.

She looked back and saw a beast falling on the ground with a blunt hit on what it looked like it's head.

"What kind of magic are these metal tubes?!"she screamed in fear.

"Manners first,don't you know before asking something,you should state your name first?"

"Marquine Linnen Selena,you can refer me as Linnen Selena."

"So,Long ears, as for your questions;...I'm a hunter;.....your inside a cave ;....these beasts,...well.. you can call them anything you want;and as for these,they are called guns,MAGNUMS to be exact!"

"How can I get out of here?"

"Just keep killing,move your legs and follow me"

Without any doubt Selena started running with the so-called hunter.Just a look at him and one could say he's as deadly as the beast itself.

"What do you mean by a cave?"

"Dungeon! It's a dungeon on a tower,a clock tower."he said it while killing the beasts around him.

The confused Selena didn't understand a thing but she kept running.The cave was crawling with beasts but the hunter with his 'Guns' was killing them like he was enjoying a walk.All that blood around her made her headache even more severe,"Uhh..."

"Having a bad time,bear with it we are almost out"

She suddenly noticed a large metal door.The boy quickly opened the door...

"Quickly,GET IN!!"

Selena barely made it inside and the boy slammed the door shut.

"They won't be coming here"he panted and sat down,"Well,time for a little rest."

Selena even before taking a breather looked back.What her golden eyes saw,made them wide open from the scenery.

She was on a veranda of a tall tower high from the ground.Seeing the scenery Selena's long headache finally subsided.

"Beautiful. . .!!"she said with a astonished face without single shred of worry on her face.

The scenery was a clear black sky with twinkling stars all over it and three moons;A red full moon,a pale blue crescent moon,and a small white moon.The white one was small like it was only decorating the pair of red and blue moon.But what made the sky endearing was the city under it.A city where monsters eating monsters;monsters eating people;people eating people with a scent of bloodlust through the air all around the city.It was truly a possessing scene to see.

"Well as we finally got some time to relax,how about telling me something about you,Marquine Linnen Selena?."
