Me Time

After Anya and I spent a reasonable amount of time talking and kissing, she all but pushed me out of the tree house. I kissed her goodbye, but Anya warned me that I had better be going to spend the rest of the day alone.

She was right, and I probably did need some alone time, but I had so much to do. People in the world were dying, but that wasn't much different than usual.

Humans always seemed to find excuses to hurt or kill each other; the difference now was that it was a one-sided fight. The world was extremely corrupt, and for that part, I didn't care, but it was the people that we were forced to follow these monsters in human skins.

I jumped into the air, and an arm emerged from the tree and grabbed me, still growing more prominent. I sent instructions to throw me as hard as the tree could, but I decided to send myself south.
