Wolf

After locking the door, both Athena and Zosia made out of the living units

There were also other women with woven baskets making their way to the base market

"Lieutenant's wife" they'd nod at her as they passed by. Some of which were polite and others who seemed to be trouble makers

"The military base is so large" Athena gasped as she glanced at the rows of fine buildings and elegantly dressed people with their thick rogue of makeup and well painted lips

Even the fragrance on them varied vastly with folks like them "sister in law" Leon waved seeing both Athena and Zosia walk over

"Brother in law" Zosia nodded at both Lester and Leon "How are you doing sister in law?" Lester asked as he scanned her over

To make sure she was well

"I'm doing okay and thanks a lot brother in law for the things" Zosia gave a small smile which didn't reach her cold eyes "you're welcome" Lester nodded feeling relieved that she was okay

Else the old man could cause a ruckus

Yep he was that unreasonable

"There's possibility of a Zerg tide, I heard my husband talk about it" a group of women passed by still discussing as they shopped

"My husband did say they are mutated and advanced! They can think and are strategic!" Another woman added flames to the fire

The faces of both brother's changed drastically

What was worse than a beast tide!

It had to be Zerg's!

If those mindless creatures now had a mind of their own

Then their little town was doomed!

"Excuse me..... is what you are saying real?" Another woman walked over holding a wicker basket of strange looking fruits and vegetables

Unlike the others she was dressed simply with no accessories

" Do you think we'd lie about this?" One of the women snapped harshly and Maddison lowered her head clutching the wicker basket tightly

"What are you not safe here in the base? There's so many soldiers to protect ours and our children's lives!" Another woman voiced out and Maddison sighed before walking away

The soldiers couldn't protect everyone could they

"I guess we have to inform our families outside the base" one of the women muttered, her face had lost so much color due to the weight of the news she was hearing

"Husband…."Athena bit her lips anxiously!

She couldn't imagine a Zerg invasion with her children, it was too terrifying

Her children had been safe all this years

Why now?

"Calm down Athena" Lester gritted his teeth and continued selling his wares

Zosia glanced at the couple

They both looked deeply troubled

"I'll shop for a bit" she slowly packed walked away examining the wares the town's folks brought with them!

There was a lot of people

Naturally the news of the Zerg invasion had spread in a single morning Making the people panic

"Sister in law, can my children stay with you for a while once the terrible things are over, I'll come pick them up" Athena voiced out anxiously, her pale face a clear testament of the fear gnawing at her fragile heart

Her children were too little for this

Her poor children!

"I'll talk to my husband, you should calm your nerves for now. The soldiers would protect the people" she tried to assure Athena

But Athena didn't look convinced

The world had plummeted so much that all that was one's wishful thinking

The soldiers were hardly able to protect their lives and that of their loved ones to care about the people

"I'll be waiting for your feedback" Athena sighed as she helped Zosia bargain and shop

Her heart was in a turmoil

Zosia on the other hand was excited

However a piercing shriek broke the hustle and bustle of the market

As people begun to run for their lives screaming in terror

"Sister in law" Athena's legs buckled

Taking in the form of the monster

A giant white wolf which was several times larger than a bull

"Athena!" Lester ran over pulling Athena away before the wolf could hit her

The wolf looked really strong, a group of soldier had already surrounded the area in armored vests shooting violently

Yet their gunfire dealt little to no harm on the large wolf

Only making the Wolf angrier

"Sister in law! Brother where's sister in law" Leon yelled frantically, the once bustling market was now in disarray

"You fool" Lester pulled him back quickly before the wolf let out a deafening scream which sent everything in its path several meters back

The soldiers struggled to get on their feet as the wolf continued to attach with sonic evhos which left everyone's eyes stinging and their ears buzzing

The deafening sound was too strong it made some instantly go mad

Zosia on the other hand perched on a tree branch stared at the wolf with interest

As it went thrashing at the soldiers who were firing shots nonstop with several advanced weapons

Which proved useless in contact with the wolf's body

Having had enough of their hide and seek

Zosia whistled to get the wolf's attention

How the wolf had gotten into the military base which was heavily guarded was a mystery

"Howl!" The wolf gave a deafening howl which made everyone's ears tinge

Zosia frowned as she lifted herself sending a palm strike at the howl which sent it flying several meters backwards

The impact was so strong A building collapsed

The angered wolf sprinted forward angrily after stabilizing itself ready to strike Zosia with a fireball which she nimbly dodged Striking the wolf squarely on its chest

This time it fell heavily, too weak to move on or lift itself

It whimpered

"Sister in law" Athena cried out but Lester held her back unwilling to let her go especially with Zosia fighting head on with a large wolf

The wolf raised its head intent on ending Zosia yet she hit it before it could move another inch

Her patience was thin

She wasn't about to waste her good time with a wolf

It whimpered staring at Zosia hatefully but didn't try to fight back any longer

It knew a stronger opponent when it saw one

It's strength did nothing to Zosia but make her look disheveled

"So much things yet wasted" Zosia sighed as she begun to pick up fallen vegetables

There was so much that had been thrown carelessly due to the wolfs attack

And with the market place now deserted Zosia was free to do whatever she wanted

"Lieutenant wife….." the soldiers all stared at her in awe

The one who injured the wolf was currently picking this strange mutated plants without any care in the world

While the big bad wolf whimpered softly

It's chest had been struck so much it was barely breathing

They were sure if it was a physical fight with a normal human

That human would die

"Sister in law" Athena rushed forward but was blocked by the soldiers "the market is closed" with that said the soldiers formed a barrier protecting Zosia

Zosia glanced at the family of three briefly and then she walked off without another word
