Kill The Spiders To Save The Butterflies

Chapter 2 Evacuation

We begin this story on the outskirts of the third city known as July. A lone figure stands near the city. He is wearing a large brown cloak over his usual attire. The wind blows hard enough to make this cloak flap. He walks into the city pondering his intentions.

I finally get to meet the last person related to Rem. He's even in the same field she was in. Maybe he can tell me more about my origin and myself. I must know what I am.' The man muses.

An awful feeling of dread fills his gut. Something is going to happen today, something big, something terrible. He must drive the people away. This could be dangerous for them.

The man walks up to a couple sitting in front of the town fountain. The fountain is of course dry, but it is still pretty all the same. It is made of stone and has a thin pillar reaching around ten feet high. As he approaches, the two have not noticed him and they begin kissing. He feels guilty about having to do this but he has to, it was either this couple and many others' lives or ruin their moment. He would of course choose the latter.

"Excuse me, sir, miss." He begins. The two people look at him, a little flustered about being beckoned while kissing. This is strange because incase they hadn't noticed they were just kissing in the middle of the town. "I know you won't want to believe me but you must, something bad is about to happen, you need to get out of this city and get anyone else you can too."

"So, exactly what is supposed to happen?" The man frowns and asks him. He stands up and eyes the blonde suspiciously. He is forced to tilt his head up because the blonde is significantly taller than him. The man is wearing jeans and a black t-shirt; he has dark brown hair and blue eyes. The girl next to him is about his height with blonde hair, blue eyes, and a face like that of a china doll. She wears a white tank top and tight blue jeans.

"I don't know, but you must evacuate the city." The blonde man tells him.

"Look pal, I don't know what you have been smoking but I'm not leaving, I'm perfectly happy here." The man says and sits back down while embracing the girl.

The blonde man runs about trying to get other people to believe him, but it is no use; he receives the same reaction from all of them. He sits down in the middle of the town on the dusty ground. It seemed like gravel to his already sore rump, a woman had kicked him because she thought he was lying. With his hands behind him propping up his back and his legs stretched out, he looked at the sky as if asking for guidance. Just then an idea popped into his head. He blinks a couple times, guiding his thoughts through the mental scenario, and he knows it will work.

The man in the red coat climbs smoothly to his feet. He looks at the ground, and then closes his eyes with a small, guilty smile playing on his lips. He reaches into his holster and brings out the silver .45mm Colt revolver. Aiming it at the sky with the same expression on his face, he lets loose three bullets.

"Get out of town everyone, I've got a gun and I'm not afraid to use it!" The man cries out. He chases after a large mob of bodies, they fly like a flock of frightened birds. Not even the police squad has tried to stop him; they are all too surprised and panicked to remember their duty. "You should run, I will not hesitate to shoot you if you get in my way." He continues.

When the city is finally empty and so is his gun, he takes a rest. He walks over to the dry fountain and sits in the place the couple had been sitting at earlier. "That was hard... gasp... it left me gasp breathless. At least now I know gasp that no one will gasp be hurt." He breathes out, reassuring himself. However he can never be sure he chased out everyone, he can only hope.

After resting for a while, he proceeds to a large building. Perhaps he can find his answers here.
