Neo Genesis- Dusk II

"Alright, then.", Ike stated. "Tell me this, Alice. Do you have any idea what the heck is going on?"

Alice turned away and looked at the moon. "They stormed in from the sky. We got attacked a few weeks ago, but our army didn't stand a chance. We were doomed the moment they set foot in Altea."

"And that's all? Why did they attack?"

"I haven't the slightest clue."Alice answered gravely. "No one knows. At least not in the city. The only reason I can think of would be power. We're a small country, the invaders are from a larger one. It'd be an easy feat, overwhelming us. And I suppose they just felt like it."

Ike didn't see a reason to inquire further, considering the girl seemed every bit as confused as himself. "So what now? For the few of us who are left, what can we do?"

"Keep running. Run and hope we'll live to see tomorrow."

"But can't we do something? Can't we..."

"No.", Alice interrupted. "We can only run and hope that our deaths will be more distant than they seem. For now, let's focus on surviving the night. Would you rather come with me or continue on your own."

"Which would be safer?", Ike asked. "I mean if we go apart, there'll be two of us to catch, but we'll be alone, and if I come with you, would that change anything other than the fact that we'd be a bigger target?"

In response, Alice fumbled in her cloak and pulled out a long dagger. "I swiped this while I was leaving.", she explained.

"Safety in numbers, then?"

"Follow me." Alice then grabbed Ike's arm with her hand, which was enveloped by the much-too-long black cloak she was wearing. Her hood was up, so Ike couldn't make out her face, but he could have sworn he saw a smile. Alice then let go and darted through the trees, Ike following closely.


AN- Really hoping this cleared up a bit of the confusion. More stuff will be revealed gradually. :D Thanks for reading! -KawaiiJoltic
