Chapter (12):winds of change part 2

In a smiley house....

Smiley and Emma were sitting inside the plane

When Smiley dropped her off at his treehouse, she put her aside in a spot on the plane and sat near a control unit

They sat for a while without talking until Smiley decided to break the silence

"So Emma...wow, I didn't know you were that good at shooting" Smiley asked

"I learned it at the shooting club, my dad made me join" Emma replied

"Your dad?...is he a cop?" Smiley asked with some hesitation

"Yeah, kind of a detective" Emma replied

""Detective? It's a good thing he's a detective, because he can spend some time with you."Smiley spoke, hiding some feelings inside him.

"Not really, he always comes late at midnight" Emma replied looking down

"Huh? That's weird?" Smiley asked thinking about something

Yes, but during this month there have been many strange incidents in town" Emma replied

"Strange, pfft, not like the things here" Smiley replied sarcastically

"Maybe the one responsible for those incidents is a creature or something" Emma spoke with some deep thought

"So what do you think of a scorpion thing?" Smiley asked

A scorpion thing? Emma spoke strangely

So Emma, ​​it's the thing she encountered a moment ago

Wait is that what you're going to call it?! Oh woe is me"

"What?" Smiley asked Emma with some strangeness

"I don't mean to offend you Smiley but put the subject of naming monsters to me" Emma spoke with her hand on her forehead.

"Well! I don't see any difference" Smiley replied with some anger

"First of all, how about we call it the Scorpion Man"

"Why?" Smiley asked with some frown

"Because it has a human-like build in many ways, plus it has a massive, armored body"

"Hmm, fair enough" Smiley replied

"And secondly, let's discuss everything we've been through in detail, from the deer to the scorpion and..." Emma spoke seriously while taking out a scorpion shell from her bag

"Oh, the spoils of our adventure!" Smiley spoke with some joy

"Let's make a list of the monsters and categorize them" Emma spoke seriously

"I'm in" Smiley spoke with some excitement

Emma discussed everything they'd been through and drew a map of the places they'd explored while being chased by that thing and named the monsters they'd seen and drawn them badly.

"First of all, that forest is definitely not ordinary, there are predatory deer, carnivorous squirrels, and even a human-shaped scorpion the size of a bear," Emma said.

"Yes, you might be right about that," Smiley replied.

"There are absurd things happening in that forest that people don't know about, even if it became forbidden, that doesn't mean that everyone will hear about this and that!"

(Knock!)

Emma hit the plane and made a loud noise.

"That plane is the clear evidence that there are people who actually know about what's happening in that forest, but they are withholding information from people about everything that happens in the forest."

"Why do you think that?" Smiley asked.

"Really, Smiley? Think about it, it's a warplane! The military would never leave a warplane unattended, or at least withdraw it from here or destroy it so that no one else can use it!"

"When you mention this, you are right," smiley replied.

"I don't know if it is the government or a secret organization moving in secret, to hide all this chaos, but there is one thing I know, know your enemy first before anything else," Emma replied.

"So what do we do first?" Smiley spoke with some excitement.

"First, we have to know all the creatures of the forest and draw a map of the forest piece by piece, and study all the abnormal things here, and you must not tell anyone."

"Don't worry about it, I live here and people like you rarely come here... which means your secret is safe with me" Smiley replied confidently

"By the way Smiley, I have two questions for you? Can you answer them?" Emma spoke seriously

"Two questions? I won't answer you if they are about my awesomeness" Smiley replied jokingly Emma

"The first is... How did you manage to get here in one piece? Without any of those creatures attacking you" Emma asked

"That's... I wonder about that too? Maybe I'm lucky?" Smiley replied innocently

"Huh... So the second question... If that forest is that dangerous, why do you live here?" Why don't you leave the forest and live in the town? Isn't it safer?"Emma asked with some suspicion.

When Emma mentioned this, Smiley remembered some memory about him constantly running away from the police, shooting at them, killing some of them, and continuing to run away from them.

"Actually, I... I live here for some personal reasons. Don't worry about me." Smiley replied confidently

"Like what?" Emma spoke

"It's a secret!" Smiley replied with a sly smile

"...."

"How about we play a game!

"A game? What kind of game is this?" Emma asked

"A game where each of us tells a story! The one with the best story wins!" Smiley replied

"I see" Emma thought deeply

"I'll go first!" Smiley spoke as he told his story

...

"There was a town full of people who wore masks to express their feelings"

"But there was one boy who didn't wear a mask unlike the others. He was always ostracized. But one day he received a letter inviting him to a party....a party where everyone came here with their mask!,"

"But that boy didn't have any mask to put on his face. Then he thought of a great idea! "He thought of making his face a mask!"

"He painted his face and spread a big smile on his face, everyone who saw him felt strange but somehow his face became a wonderful mask so people admired his channel"

"But the boy saw that everyone behind their masks was jealous of him and tried to remove his mask and get him out of the party, so he thought of making everyone happy together!"

"The boy thought of removing their masks and painting their faces with roses and he succeeded!"

"They were all so happy that they fell to the ground with joy"

"In the end, people decided to remove their masks and lived happily, but that boy wore the mask so long that he couldn't remove it and it stayed stuck to him forever"

"The End"

When Emma heard Smiley's story, she felt a little strange and scared and thought of some strange and suspicious points about Smiley's story

"Smiley are you?"

"It's your turn!" Smiley interrupted Emma

"My turn?" Emma asked

"Tell me a story, any story! And I'll decide if it's a good or bad story" Smiley said

"Actually I don't have any good stories" Emma replied looking down

"Come on! You sure do have one don't make me feel ashamed!" Smiley said touching Emma's shoulder

"Well I have one... but I don't think you'll like it" Emma said a little worried

"Come on... tell a story! Tell a story!" Smiley said excitedly

"Okay! Okay! I'll tell you a story!..... a story" Emma said feeling a little nervous about what she was going to talk about

.....

"There was a girl... a smart girl who thought logically. She was with her brother. Sometimes they would fight and sometimes they would laugh together

"But one day while she was buying some things in the store with her brother, he was attacked by some bad guys and ran away Both of them..."

"They dispersed during the attack and the girl was captured, she got scared and resisted and managed to escape"

But the bad guys were upset about her escape and became very violent towards the hostages

The girl was hiding and scared and called the police and when the police came...and when the police came...(speaking with difficulty and her hands were shaking)

"The bad guys became angry and beat the hostages violently and threatened whoever called the police and that they would shoot a hostage every five minutes if they didn't...they didn't say who called"

"The girl...the girl was very scared and remained silent and left them...left them to die"

"When it was her brother's turn she came to them...she came and finally told them that she was the one who...called the police"

"They pulled her hair and threw her with the rest of the hostages"

"When they threw her they pulled another person and told her that this person would die Because of her

"While he was about to shoot, he didn't notice that he left his spare gun on the ground and it was in front of the girl"

"While the police were looking at the hostage from afar and he was about to shoot, the girl raised the gun and pointed it at him, but she didn't have the courage to shoot the criminal"

"And when the criminal shot the hostage, the girl was shocked when she saw him die in front of the people and from the intensity of her shock she pulled the trigger and killed the criminal"

"The girl was so confused and shocked that all she saw was the villain's blood flowing as he fell to the ground, the girl did not see how the police stormed the place and did not know what happened after that"

"When the girl returned to reality she realized that she was found in the police station and they calmed her down and told her that she did not do anything wrong and did the right thing even her father praised her"

"She was considered a hero in the eyes of the police and she was praised this... is the end..."

"The end... that was supposed to happen! But it did not what happen"

"But.....but!.....when they came across her brother he was not there to comfort her or encourage her and instead of all that.... she found anger and hatred replacing it..... her brother was angry with her because if she did not reveal herself first and die early"

"The girl was shocked by what her brother said to her..... her brother who is of her blood asked her to die, how much he hated her in reality and the girl did not believe what she heard"

"His parents scolded him when he said this in front of her But he didn't care and she yelled at her if she had shot him sooner he could have been saved"

"He hated her...so much that...he exposed her in front of everyone inside the school cafeteria and told her that he was the father of one of his friends whom she couldn't save"

"In the end the girl was ostracized by her friends, her brother and everything!"

"She lived her life in misery and sadness because she decided to make a sound and logical decision, and think about the mistake she made"

"The End"

When Emma finished telling her story, her eyes were shedding so many tears that she couldn't control them.

"Tell....me, Smiley,.i...is..that.....girl are a stupid?" she asked as she cried.

"Yeb, she's really stupid" Smiley replied.

"Why?" Emma replied with tears streaming down her cheeks

"Because she didn't hit him!"

"Um… what?" Emma asked without wiping her tears

"She did exactly the right thing and didn't hesitate! I mean anyone in her place would have done the same thing, but if I were her I would have run away!" Smiley said indifferently as he got up

"And to be an outcast I don't even care what those idiots say, I doubt they would do anything if they were in her position! And also if she hadn't done that she wouldn't be alive until now!" If her brother claims to be heroic, why didn't he sacrifice himself and instead remained like a trembling rat!" Smiley spoke, swallowing his reaction with his hands

When Emma stared at Smiley's face, she thought he would mock her and at least scold her, but instead he congratulated her, albeit in a strange way. Emma felt for the first time in her life a feeling she thought she had lost a long time ago... felt like talking with a friend

"Wow! That girl is really stupid! Isn't she, Emma!" Smiley spoke with a smile

"Yes... She really is stupid" Emma replied

They kept talking to each other and Emma didn't notice that it was already night and she was late to get home. Smiley helped her get home with trust throws, and flew high in the sky but this time... Emma wasn't afraid of him, she was trust him he wouldn't let her fall.

....

In Emma's Room

Emma raised her head and smiled and felt very happy and relieved as she put her exhausted and injured body on the bed

"Oh my god,what is that?" I feel like I've been freed from something" Emma thought as every time remember Smiley

"I don't understand what's going on with me, I was so close to death, I was about to lose my life again, so why am I so happy? Because I survived? Because I lived another day? Or.....Because maybe I finally found him... A true friend"Emma thought with a smile

Emma pulled out her secret diary and started writing and drawing some things in her diary.

At the same time in Smiley's house...

Smiley was also looking at the ground and seeing the drawings that Emma had drawn and took out a small sketchbook and started to scratch his hand and draw and write incomprehensible things

"Hmm!..... Hehehehe..... Monsters? Secret organizations?.... AHahaha! This is exactly what I want.....oooh....! And I was who thought I thought my matter would be over soon but guess what,world! It turns out that I have an new game to play!

And I will....yes I will play in a place where madness and chaos are the nature here! A place where death is in every way and direction, where there are no laws and no logic, A PLACE! where people take off their masks and reveal their true selves! And I.. will Soon made it my playground, and you Will help Me in that Isn't that right Emma, ​​MY DEAR FRIEND....
