109 Meeting another Fiend (1/2)
Her eyes snapped in my direction and a myriad of emotions flickered in her eyes. Surprise, shock, fear, anger and at last, shame.
I myself was feeling a lot of different emotions at once. Fear, disgust, apprehension, understanding, acceptance and at last, a bit of happiness.
Fear because of the giant mutant alligator in front of her.
It must be more than 10 meter in length and 2 meter in height.
And she had killed it.
And not only had she killed it, she was feasting on it.
Meaning that she was like me. A fiend.
Except her teeth and claws seemed much sharper to me.
At first, I felt fear when I saw her halfway inside the alligator's body as she ate while making a lot of noise.
It was a bit disgusting as well.
If this was how I looked when I ate then I really needed to commend Raka for his loyalty for sticking together with me.
But I doubt I made such a mess when I ate my food.
Then I realized the important part.
She was just like me.
Sure, she might be a stranger to me, but at this moment I felt rather close to her.
After all, I had never seen any one else who had evolved into a 'Fiend' like me. Not even in the B&S Worldwide.
I was afraid that I would never see anyone who was like me and would be discriminated against in the future because of that.
But to find someone who is like me.
It made me very happy.
On the other hand, I had no idea what she was afraid of. Nor why she was feeling shameful all of a sudden.
She had no need to be afraid of me. If the mutant beast she was eating was killed by herself and not by someone else, then she was obviously more powerful than me.
After all, even I would lose my life if I had to face a 4th tier mutant alligator. A beast like that would definitely be far more powerful than a 4th tier abnormal.
She wiped her blood from her face with a cloth and looked apprehensively at me.
”Umm… You woke up…” she said in a nervous and timid manner and I failed to understand how such a strong person could have such a weak personality.
She started squirming on her feet and I realized that I had been staring at her for a long moment so I cleared my throat in an embarrassing manner and said ”Yeah… I woke up just now.”
Then I bowed in front of her ”Thank you for taking care of me. I owe you my life.”
”I… it's nothing.” She said and I wondered if this really was the girl who saved my life back then.
