Flip the Coin [BL] N Chapter 87. South District

Chapter 87 - 87. South District

My hands that were held, trembled, and as I looked down, I only saw blue eyes gleaming in the darkness.

"Hm?" I asked in a daze. It wasn't that I was scared or anything; at least that wasn't the main reason. I was thrilled at the fact that my conjured-up gun was really functioning, and I was still high from the feeling of firing a weapon. Though it was only into the darkness, my adrenalin was overflowing.

"Didn't you hear? The attacker had run away already." Henry sat up, and we were now face to face as I still straddled him.

I didn't hear. Only now could I perceive the surrounding sounds, for example, the girls' silent cries. Before, it had been just my heartbeat in my ears, the sound of the gun, and Henry's voice.

"I want to make sure and take a look." Henry bent forward and whispered in my ear.

"Go ahead." I said.

Henry's head was still intact. This ant we could change the future that I saw in my visions.

No, I should have known the mont I t Henry. I saw him punching

while I kissed Chelsea, but because I intercepted, the fight started in a sightly different way. Maybe I hadn't taken it as proof because the difference between my vision and what happened was so little.

Was that revelation good? I don't know. If I were not a convicted prisoner, I would have said yes. It is always good to have your future in your own hands.

Yet, presently, I was still relying on the hope that becoming a chief or whatever would really take place in the future—aning I would regain freedom again.

I have to get myself these tattoos. I have to make sure that this future will happen.

My back was patted, and I was pulled out of my thoughts. Only now did I notice that I was still straddling Henry, who had his arms slung around .

"What?" I asked him.

"I can't stand up when you are sitting on . Did that just now shock you?" He sounded worried.

"No." I pushed him back and stood up. Just a little trembling doesn't an I am weak or anything. What a douchebag. I know he didn't mock , but everything that ca out of his mouth had

riled up. Where is the kneeling because I have saved his life AGAIN? I should be worried about him, not the other way around.

No.

He should worry about himself.

That was it.

I walked to the girl and crouched down. I could see her outlines at least.

"You okay?"

She flinched together before nodding. So that was that.

Henry had anwhile climbed the slope.

"She is gone."

"She?"

"Yes. A child, long hair."

"A child?" I stood up and looked at Henry; the moonlight got to him so I could see him, as he turned down to talk to .

"I got a glimpse at her before you fired. What had you seen that got you to act?"

"Your head got smashed by an axe." I pointed beside the girl where an axe should be stuck into the earth.

"You saved my life again." A sly smile creeped on his face.

"Yeah, your debt is increasing by the day."

"Mhm." He humd jovial.

Does he think I'm gonna keep him only because he is indebted to ?

No way.

"Why are the monsters running from a child?" I asked.

"Why is a child chasing monsters?" He asked back.

"Why does a child run around with an axe to chop up humans?" I continued.

"Maybe she thought of us as monsters?" Henry slithered the slope down to get to the girl.

When he ca to her, she scread, apparently fully traumatized now.

"We have to continue; what if the monsters co back?" Henry asked and pulled her up until she stood groaning on a leg. He bent down, and the girl crawled on his back.

My backpack was still on . The girl motioned in a direction before hugging Henry's neck with full force.

"Continue to choke , and I'll let go." He hissed. If he behaves like this, he really won't get himself a girlfriend, as he promised.

The girl loosened her grip and sobbed silently as we continued our journey.

"Take my hand and look for visions." In the darkness, Henry tried to grab my hand while still carrying the girl.

I flung my hand away before gripping his wrist. I am not gonna hold hands with him; what the fuck? Constantly flipping the coin, it really took us so hours inside the dark forest until we finally saw light bursting through trees far ahead of us.

"That's a good sign." I mumbled.

"Have you not been in the forest before?"

The girl stirred awake; apparently she had dozed off.

"Hm?"

"Oh, no. You will see soon." It sounded ominously, and Henry frowned at her answer.

When we ca closer and saw not only glistening light but also what was behind the forest, I was stunned. We looked down from what should be a hill into flat land.

There, it looked just like the little city world, but it was far more destroyed. There was debris, buildings that were cut in half, so were crushed; it was as if the whole south district had been smashed before thrown down here.

Gigantic asphalt chunks that looked like big hills, cars, and streetlights coming out of dark ground. The sky seed like the one in the trash world—no moon, no stars, no sun, but so undefinable light, like on a cloudy day.

The flat land with all that ca from our world was fenced by hills, on which the forest began. Like a gigantic crater.

At least we had a good view from up here as to what was awaiting us.

Maybe my grandma had never been here in the first place, having fun upstairs with her young bodyguards.

At the latest, now I desperately hope for that.

Because this... I have no idea where I am even beginning to search for the dragon.
