Chapter 2: Wild World

Before the sun comes out, Murasaki was already outside the city. She had her bag in her back, the dog was in her arms. She was wearing the same outfit as yesterday, a black sleeveless shirt, black pants and no shoes. She was walking through the seemingly endless desert. She shrugs and keeps walking to the south, she wasn't in a hurry, so she walks with calm, but looking around. Always in guard. She takes a look at the puppy in her arms and then to the scenery in front of her. She was thinking of what might happen to the little animal. She was sure that at some point he will die either at the hands of one of those monsters or... To her own hands. She knew she wouldn't kill the dog, but if at some point she didn't find food and start to starve, then she won't control herself. She shakes her head and put those thoughts in the back of her mind. Murasaki needs to find a new hideout and she can't think of those things now. Murasaki spends the next hours walking through the desert until she stumbles with another ruin. Just like the ones before, these ones were what was left of a city. Murasaki saw the buildings that had fallen apart, either because of time or the Aragamis. She enters the city with her guard up. The place was empty, there was no Aragami nearby. She was a little nervous by that. There has to be at least an Ogretail, but it was a complete desert. Murasaki never let her guard down, she keeps walking around the ruins of the city until finally confirm that in fact there was no Aragami there. She sighs decide to find a good hideout. A big building was good, but she wanted something where the Aragamis won't find her easily and a place that won't fall apart that easily if they decide to attack her directly.

Murasaki suddenly stops in the middle of the street, she could hear something behind her. She turns around there was nothing there. She sighs and walks around the corner, slowly. She could sense a presence near her. She turns to the corner and saw two kids, a boy (wearing a black T-shirt, grey pants and he had brown short hair. He wasn't wearing shoes) and a girl (she was wearing a white one-piece dress stained with blood. She had a long blonde hair. She wasn't wearing shoes) whispering between each other. The girl saw Murasaki and yell, the boy turns to see her and take out a knife and stay in front of the girl, trying to protect her. Murasaki just stares at them. The dog jumps out of her hands and goes to the children to sniff them while moving his tail. Murasaki notices that the girl was hugging a big old book in her arms, like she was protecting it.

"... Are you two by your own?" Murasaki asks and approaches them. The boy pushes the girl away and swings his blade.

"Stay away, monster!" He yells. Murasaki knew that she should feel hurt by those words, but she didn't feel anything at all. She shrug, turn around and walk away, but Isaac didn't follow her. He was looking at the children. "Leave them, Isaac... Let's go" She said, almost in a demanding tone. The girl pushes the boy away and walks to Murasaki.

"Maria! Get away from her!" The boy yell. Murasaki looks at the little girl in front of her. She was looking at her with fascination.

"What are you?" She asks. "Are you... One of them?"

"... And what if I am?" She asks and then looks around her, she could tell that something big was nearby. "Hey... Go inside the building and don't come out until I say so..."

"Why...?" The girl asks and then and Aragami jump at Murasaki out of nowhere. It was a Hannibal... A Green Hannibal... The monster pushes her again a wall, destroying part of the building in the process. The kids run away to the next street and hide inside an old bookstore. From there they saw the whole fight that was taking place in front of them. Murasaki grabs the Hannibal by the horns and throws him away with an impossible strength. The Green Hannibal landed on top of a bus and Murasaki let out her skeletal wings. That Green Hannibal has been following her for quite a while... She remembers it from when she was an Aragami... Looks like he wants her dead, no matter what. The Hannibal roar at her and throw green fire at her, she dodges it and runs right at him. The Hannibal raise his fist and punch her, but Murasaki jump at the last second to avoid the hit. She landed on the back of the Aragami and stab him with her wings. The Hannibal roar in pain and try to shake her off, but Murasaki didn't fall. She opens his back and saw a core. She was about to rip it out, but she let her guard down. A fireball was launch from her left and hit her, making her fall from the Hannibal's back. She stands up as fast as she can and saw another Hannibal, a normal one.

"What a pain..." She said. Both Aragami attack her, Murasaki spread her wings, she closes her eyes and calms herself. She opens them again and the Hannibals were only at mere centimeters from her. In less than a second, Murasaki swings her wings and cut the normal Hannibal's head off. As for the Green Hannibal, she only cut his right arm. Both Monsters fall to the ground. Murasaki move to the corpse of the normal Hannibal and rip out his core and swallow it, she knew that it will stand up again, but it will take some time for his head to regenerate. She then turns to the Green Hannibal that roar at her. She smiles at the monster that sees her as her mortal enemy and stabs him in the right eye. "Good fight... But not good enough..." She said and take out his core, but she didn't eat it, she crushes it with her hands. She looks around and saw the kids in the bookstore. They were scared of her, but at the same time fascinated... Or at least the girl was, the boy didn't trust her at all. She walks to them and her wings go inside her back again. "Are you alright?" Murasaki asks them. They look at each other and nodded

"Yes... Thank you" Said the girl. "You save us"

"I didn't save you... They weren't after you... They are after me" Said Murasaki and look at the bookstore, it was almost intact. The books were completely cover with dust, but they were complete. "Do you live around here?"

"We are not answering that" Said the boy. "And i won't thank you for what you did"

"... Do I look like i care what a brat like you says?" Murasaki said with a calm voice. "I'm asking a question, you better answer it"

"Yes... We live around here" The girl answers.

"I'm searching for a place underground. A place where I can spend the night without worrying about the Aragamis" She explains and the kids share a look.

"The subway station" Said the girl. "There are no monster there, only insects"

"I see..." Murasaki grabs Isaac and head for the Subway Station, but the girl stops her.

"Wait, can we go with you?" She asks and the boy hit her.

"Are you crazy, Maria!? Did you see her? She's a monster!"

"She's not a monster, Adam. She can help us!"

"... Do whatever you want. I don't really care" Murasaki walk away. She actually wanted to act differently around those kids, but she hasn't spoken to anyone in years. She finds people and starts acting like an asshole. She was starting to wonder how she'll react if she gets to see Soma again... Will she act like the Murasaki he knew or a completely different person? There was no way of telling... At least for now.

Murasaki goes down the stairs that lead her to the Subway Station. She looks around the place, it was completely destroyed, she saw the rats running away from her and hiding in the darkness. Murasaki goes to the rails and start walking through the tunnel and saw a door to the right of the tunnel. She goes through the door and walks through a corridor until she finds another door, at the other side she found a power room. It was like an office, but with more dirt and machines. The room was big enough for her and Isaac and maybe three people more. Not only that, it was a perfect place for her to stay. The big Aragamis won't find her that easily and the small ones won't escape from her if they enter. Murasaki leaves her bag on the floor and let go of Isaac, she walks to the machines and sees if they work. Fortunately, they didn't. She didn't want to turn on the lights, it might call unwanted attention.

"Well... This will be our new home, Isaac" She said and Isaac bark happily. She pats him on the head. "Stay here for a moment. I'm going to bring you food" Isaac sit down in the middle of the room and Murasaki leave, she closes the door and gets out of the Subway. She sighs and walks around the ruins, searching for an Aragami she could hunt down. The Green Hannibal was nowhere to be found and the other Hannibal regenerate his core, but not his head. Murasaki went after him and kill it again, only this time she cut his arms and legs off. She decided to use it as her temporary source of food. Murasaki eats a part of the Aragami and cut a slice of meat for Isaac. She then decided to return to the Subway, but stopped when she saw an old music store, almost intact. She smiles at it and runs to the store. The showcase of the store was broken and she enters through there. Once inside, she saw a lot of posters and CDs laying on the ground. She walks around the store and find the cassettes and surprisingly enough, an old Walkman with headphones and batteries behind the counter. She put the walkman in her pocket and search for cassettes. She picks a couple of cassettes of Queen and some other of bands she didn't even know. Today, no one would know their names or the name of their songs. She grabs everything she wanted and prepare to leave, but stopped in the showcase when she saw an Ouroboros walking through the city, destroying the buildings while it walks through them and not paying attention to the Ogretails that step on. Murasaki saw the entrance of the Subway, it wasn't near the giant Aragami so she decided to run at full speed. She didn't want to fight against an Ouroboros today, she needs to go back to her hideout. She runs and reaches the entrance without any difficulty.

As soon she goes down the stairs, she saw the kids from earlier in the Station, hugging each other, scared of the quake that produces the Ouroboros steps. She notices that some parts of the subway are starting to fall and a big piece of concrete start to fall on top of the children. She grabs them both and saves them from dying. She then decided to take them with her, despite the boys complains. Murasaki goes inside the room and Isaac wave his tail. She closes the door, pushes the kids to the corner and waits in silence until the quake finish. The Boy didn't say a word and wait until everything was over. As soon it did, he yells at Murasaki.

"Why did you bring us here!?" He yells and Murasaki simply slaps him on the cheek.

"I save your life and that's how you respond!? Such an ungrateful child" She said. "I could just leave you to die, but I didn't. Just shut up and be grateful"

"You are not even human. Why do you care?" He asks.

"You know nothing about me. So you better shut up. The Ouroboros leave now. There's no danger anymore, so I invite you to leave my new house if you are going to be ungrateful" The Boy stand up and walk to the door.

"Let's go, Maria," Said the boy, but the girl didn't move. "Maria?"

"I'm staying here," She said and the boy's eyes widen.

"Are you crazy!? She's going to kill you!" He yells in front of Murasaki

"... I'm right here, you know" The boy ignores her.

"We don't even know what she wants. It's better if we stick together. Remember! Trust no one! Or are you forgetting what happened last week? We were five, now it's only the two of us because of those thieves! Just come... Please!"

"Adam... We have a better chance of surviving with her... She save us, let's stay with her for now..." Maria turns to Murasaki. "That if you don't have any trouble," Murasaki thought about it for a moment. She didn't have any problems with having these kids with her at all, but she knew that she won't get along with Adam at all. She finally shrugs.

"Do whatever you want. If you are staying, will put some rules here" She said.

"Thank you, I hope we don't become a problem for you," Said Maria.

"What the hell, Maria!?" Adam ask. He could at Murasaki right in the eyes and sigh. "... Fine, I'm staying too, but only because of you!" Adam sits next to Maria.

"If we are staying here, then we should introduce ourselves. My name is Maria, and he is Adam. We both lose our parent to the Aragamis" She said with a sad tone. "What about you?" Murasaki takes a deep breath.

"... My name is Murasaki and I used to be a God Eater" She said and took both kids by surprise.

"A God Eater?" Adam asks. "Those who kill the Aragamis? What happen to you?"

"... An experiment went wrong. I end up like this and I decided that it was better if I stay here and not in Fenrir. I'm kind of a monster now" She laughed a little. "But at least I'm keeping part of my beauty" She joked and Maria laugh.

"To me, you're ugly" Adam cross his arms.

"... I can kick you out, you know..."

The night takes over the world once more. Maria and Adam fall sleep really quickly with Isaac next to them. Murasaki leaves a blanket over them and make sure they don't get cold. The last thing she wanted was to take care of sick children. Murasaki takes this chance to get out of the room and take a look at what happened to the Station. Everything was falling apart because of the Ouroboros. She gets out of the room and saw multiples holes in the Subway Station ceiling. Parts of the ceiling were still falling down. Murasaki saw what appear to be clean water falling from a pipeline to the Subway tracks. There wasn't electricity so it was no danger there. The water was falling almost violently in one of the big holes of the station and before she even knows it, she had a little lake in the Subway going down the tunnel. She walks to the waterfall and takes a little of the water, it was clean.

"What a surprise... But what a bad luck. I wanted to stay hidden, now this place might get the Aragami's attention" She said. "Well... I'll worry about all that later" Murasaki sit down in one of the waiting chairs of the Station, take out the walkman she finds in the Music Store and put a Queen cassette inside. She put her headphones on and pray that the device wasn't broken. She hit the play button and the music hit her ears. It was a familiar voice, a familiar song and that bring a smile to her face.

To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation
She spoke just like a baroness

Met a man from China
Went down to Geisha Minah
Then again incidentally
If you're that way inclined
Perfume came naturally from Paris
For cars she couldn't care less
Fastidious and precise

She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime

The songs keep going and Murasaki moves her head to the beat of the song. She didn't stop there, she keeps listening to the whole cassette and putting another when she finished listening. She can't sleep, but that doesn't mean she can't enjoy every single second... She looks at the sky through one of the holes in the ceiling, the night full of stars bring a little of sadness in her when a particular song starts playing...

It started off so well
They said we made a perfect pair
I clothed myself in your glory and your love
How I loved you
How I cried

The years of care and loyalty
Were nothing but a sham it seems
The years belie we lived a lie
I love you till I die

Save me, save me, save me
I can't face this life alone
Save me, save me, save me
I'm naked and I'm far from home

Murasaki takes out her headphone and feels the tears coming out from her eyes, she couldn't stop them at all. They were like waterfalls. The lyrics from that song remind her of her last days with Soma and the life she had now. She, deep down, wanted someone to save her from this situation. She wanted everything to go back the way it used to be...

Kota was right next to the elevator of the Den. He looks at the watch on his wrist and sighs. Sakaki told him that he was getting a new God Eater in the Unit today, he was hoping it wasn't anything like Erina or Emil that start fighting every single moment they can. The elevator suddenly opens in front of him and he looks at a very familiar face. A girl with short blonde hair and clear blue eyes. She wasn't wearing the God Eater Uniform, instead, she was wearing a big brown sweatshirt with a hood over her head. She was using military pants and black boots. Her hands were hiding in the pockets of her sweatshirt and the Armlet the thing that sticks the most.

"Sasha!?" Kota asks. "What are you doing here...? Wait, is that an armlet? Don't tell me..."

"Yep, from today forward I'll be a God Eater, Kota" Sasha smile at Kota. Since Murasaki run away, Sasha has been trying to become a God Eater, but she wasn't compatible. Now that the new generation God Arcs was here, Sakaki agreed to let her do the aptitude test and she was positive. She was officially a New-Type. She and Kota talk a lot since Murasaki leave and became good friends, the same with Lindow, Sakuya, Alisa and Soma. She didn't get to know Lenka that well because he's now on special missions. He was never around the Den so it was rare to actually see him around... Almost like a ghost.

"A God Eater? You didn't tell me that!" Sasha smirk at him.

"I wanted to keep it a secret. Also, I wanted to see your face... Not only that, but i'll stay be your side for the time being... Leader"

"Leader...? So you are my new member? That's awesome!" Kota almost scream and give her a high five. They clap hands. "I'm counting on you, Sasha. And don't worry, i won't be too hard on you, but i'll be hard when i need too... It's no joke outside, it's dangerous"

"I know, you don't have to remind me that. I'm ready whenever you are" Said Sasha with enthusiasm. "By the way... Do you know anything about... You know who?" Kota nodded and enter to the elevator with her.

"We actually found her, but lost her again. Last week, we receive an image from a satellite. Murasaki is in the north, far away from us. It'll take us days to even reach her. Luckly for us, Fenrir stop searching and decided to put her in the list of KIA. Sakaki and Soma are discussing on a method to get to her... It'll be difficult, she moves a lot"

"I'll help. I want to see her again... Even if she's not human anymore, she's my friend and i refuse to abandon her" Sasha look at Kota in the eyes and he scratch his head.

"If that's the case i'll need to train you, just in case. I'll take you with Soma and Sakaki later so we can talk about this. Now i'll teach you how to shoot properly and create bullets"

"Alright" Sasha follow Kota to the training room. "I'm closer than before... I hope you're alright, Murasaki" Sasha thought.
