Alucard: I'm so tired man... we need to rest a little
Isabel: yeah i can barely keep my eyes open
Lesley: same here
Markus: there is a nearby hotel named "The ane & Spe at Park-side" we should go there
Simon: where is that hotel?
Markus: well we are currently in 500 R St Garage close to 5th St & R St (NB) Bus stop and exactly... 550.48 meters away from the hotel! that's not too far is it? we are driving at 34 km/h so it's okay we don't have to hurry
Simon: yeah you are right
Jessica: wow i can't believe we came all the way from Lesley's house to here using only bicycles.... damn that was pretty exhausting
Lesley: yeah it is.... my legs are very tired
Simon: aren't you tired too Markus?
Markus: i am tired but it's fine don't worry about...
Simon: hey Isabel...
Isabel: what?
Simon: I'm sorry... for treating you in inappropriate way
Isabel: you should be
Jessica: hey! he is apologizing
Isabel: so? what should i do?
Jessica: at least thank him!
Isabel: nah i don't think so...
Simon continued driving towards the hotel, Markus was helping Simon with directions, the girls fell asleep in the back seats of the car and Alucard was also sleeping but of course not with girls, he was sleeping outside in the back of the car, after driving for 16 minutes he stopped by a super market for supplies like water, food and some snacks, Simon noticed that most of the buildings is destroyed except a few ones... he parked the car near the store in, got out of the car took his sword and the shield with him and entered the market alone... upon entering the super market he saw a lot of blood on the floor making a line towards the cashier, he followed the blood until he saw a body down on the ground... no arms, one leg is missing both eyes popped out and his mouth jaw is broken meaning there was a demon here who killed this man... Simon stood up and looked behind him he saw 2 more bodies... one on the ground no arms and no eyes and the other one is hanging on the wall headless, legless and his heart is missing... Simon was standing there... all that he felt was pure HATE towards the demons! but... he noticed something watching him far away from the store... he played along like he didn't see anything and then grabbed some energy drinks water bottles, canned food and some chips, he got out of the store and walked towards the car, he woke Alucard up from his sleep and gave everything to him
Simon: here is everything i got from the store
Alucard: okay that's great can we go now?
Simon: not yet... there is something following us *whispering* i need you to stay quiet and alert and try to tell Markus about it without waking the girls up
Alucard: alright but.... do you really have to do something about it? i mean what if there were more than one? what are you going to do? i can't help you due to the fact that this gun is not working and Markus has a normal gun and it will attract others...
Simon: don't worry about it just if you saw anything even a cat watching you DO NOT hesitate in leaving me behind
Alucard: what do you mean with "leaving me behind"? please no need to act like a hero Simon... we have seen enough for today and you are very exhausted so why don't we just call it a day and get out of here?
Simon: I'm not being a hero it's just "better safe than sorry" i learned it the hard way... so just drive away and don't worry about me i know how to start any car without it's keys
Simon looked back and the "thing" that was watching him in the store changed it's position moving closer but hiding.... Simon acted like a fool and pointed at the market to deceive the creature into thinking he didn't notice him, he looked back at Alucard telling him he will go to the market again and the creature is still watching them....
Simon: i will go there again because the creature is still watching me behind that destroyed house don't make it too obvious and lay down hide yourself with this blanket it doesn't know that i have company and as i said do NOT hesitate in leaving me behind understood?
Alucard: yes i understand but what will i say when you are not with us
Simon: i don't have time to talk...
Simon left Alucard and went back to the store he put the sword in his pocket and entered... as expected the creature started moving closer and closer to Simon as he walked farther inside the market until he stopped and looked at a shattered mirror... he saw a tall black figure standing at the entrance of the store staring at him..... Simon was scared for the first time he tried to calm himself and lure the black figure inside by grabbing a bag of chips and started eating it, and it worked! the black figure has entered the store and started walking towards Simon until it stopped at a point not very far away from Simon just close enough for Simon to strike it with his sword... he put his hand in his right pocket, pulled out the sword and put his finger on the trigger button, the black figure took one step towards him, suddenly Simon pressed the button and tried to stab the black figure.... but it wasn't there at all... he was confused felt something moving behind him quickly used the sword again moved his arm 180 degrees and sliced the products shelf but again it wasn't there he was so confused...
Simon: maybe I'm hallucinating.... i definitely need some rest... he was right, enough for today...
when he turned his head he saw a crawling demon outside the store running towards Simon with 2 large demons running as well! Simon opened his shield covered himself and moved the non-sliced part of the shelf and put it in front of the entrance to block the monsters and use it as defense, the crawling demon teleported behind Simon and used his tail to pierce his heart with a large blade, laughing it was... it's over... Simon will die.... right? suddenly out of nowhere something pushed him away from the tail's blade and dropped him on the ground, resulting in the demon hitting the shelf and getting his tail stuck inside it, Simon looked behind to see who pushed him he saw nothing... but the tail of the demon, he picked up his sword and was going to cut his head off but the demon used his claw and swung it trying to rip Simon's face off but he dodged it struck the demon with his sword cutting his head off, the 2 large demons burst into the store breaking the shelf and the door frame which was glass activating the store alarm, some of those shattered glass hit Simon's leg giving him pain and distracting him, one of the demons grabbed his neck and was ready to devour him but Simon put the sword in the demon's heart making him let go of Simon and collapses on the ground making the second demon way angrier and tried to crush Simon with both of his large hands but thankfully Simon rolled away and stood up despite the 4 shards in his leg, he looked up at the demon only to find out he had already went berserk mode with some red smoke around the demon, pulling 5 long red thin arms out from his back moving around him destroying everything it touches Simon started yelling "YOU FUCKING BASTARD!" and ran towards him with the shield smashing into the demon's arms disabling the shield from the excessive pressure that these arms apply and making a small shock-wave throwing the demon away to the counter and then Simon got up and jumped on the demon putting the sword into his face and then sliced his head off too killing him...
Alucard: QUICKLY HOP IN THE VEHICLE WE DON'T HAVE TIME!
Alucard moved the car to the store telling Simon to get in as there are a lot of demons around the area, Simon without thinking jumped into the back of the car turned off the sword put it next to him and used the laser gun trying to fix it while Alucard trying to escape the place thankfully they manged to escape but there were 4 flying demons with large wings following them... Simon saw a small battery shaped thing glowing red inside the gun without questioning what is it, he used it for the gun and it worked! the gun started shooting again killing the 4 flying demons and some crawling ones who were also following them and eventually escaped...
