A/N Yes, this is the sequel to "The Devil hides behind her smile". It's not necessary to read that before reading this, but you might want to.
Anyway: Enjoy the prologue.
Cortes walked from one end of the room to the other. Again and again. Like a lion trapped in a cage.
Again and again.
'Cortes, will you stand still for one minute. You're making me nervous.' Dahlia said.
'How do you think I feel?' he growled at her.
Dahlia wanted to say something, but Wayan shook his head.
'Don't, Dahlia.' he whispered to her. 'When he's in this state, nobody can calm him down.'
Finally Cortes sat down, but rage was still visible on his face.
How the hell could I let this happen? I should never have left him alone. Now he's in the hands of those…Those...Those monsters.
In any other situation, Cortes would have laughed at himself for thinking that. It was ironic, a half-zombie that called humans "monsters".
But this wasn't any other situation.
Cheng was kidnapped.
Suddenly he stood up and left the room. From the window, Dahlia, Wayan and the vector saw him walking down to the village.
Dahlia was the only one who knew where he was going.
His Grandfather.
Death.
