Being locked with Lisa is certainly not interesting. You know it's just matter of a second to break free out of my bindings. And at this moment, I am thinking to end this... also, I am kind of tempted to bite Lisa and suck out the life out of her body. Also, those bastards have taken away my hat and sunglasses.
Honestly, Bernard and his group are useless. How did they survive this long? Both them and their powers are fucking useless. They died very quickly even before they could have entertained me. Now, I have got Lisa and Ginger, who are both going to give me a bad 'show.'
Lisa was constantly thrashing in her bindings. Her hand had a knife in it, which she was using to cut the ropes.
After at least one hour, Lisa cut out the ropes and removed her gag. She proceeded to free Ginger, who was still unconscious.
"Mphmm! Mphmmm!" I made a muffled sound, indicating to free me out of my bindings.
Lisa snorted and cut the ropes which were binging me. I removed the cloth from my mouth and rubbed my hands.
"I shouldn't have freed you. There is no use for you here. Can you fight?" sneered Lisa. She was looking at me with full of disgust. Oh, someone's got her vigour back. Is she no longer sad that her crush died? Or, at least was still dying when she was captured by these buffoons.
I shrugged, "I don't need to fight. What I need is... 'food.' I need to eat."
It was true.
All I need is their blood. My mouth is salivating at the thought of drinking their blood.
Lisa sneered, "Yeah? That's what you want? Food? For your kind information, these bastards want us to sell to some other bastards! You want to be sold as a commodity? Work as a sex slave? Well, I don't! So, I will try my best to escape from here!"
I wanted to yawn. Me? As a 'sex slave?' Hah! What a joke!
"Bernard and others couldn't do a thing. What makes you think that you are any different?" I asked.
Lisa grabbed my collar and yelled, "Don't ever say that again! These bastards caught us off guard!" she looked into my eyes, "Valeria, what kind of human are you? Your eyes don't show any sadness."
I smiled, "My eyes are red... as you can see, if you can really see. So, they don't show any emotion but I am really sad. Really-really sad. Totally sad."
Lisa pushed me away. She shook her head and said, "You are not. In fact, you seem happy."
Aska was standing outside the cell and looking at us with amused eyes. To be honest, acting as if I can't see her was getting a bit boring. So, I moved my head towards and gasped in shock. Her smile widened. She said, "No need to be surprised. Continue your fight," her eyes moved towards Ginger, "I hit her softly, and she is still unconscious? Well, forget about her. I have brought dresses for you. Even a maid's costume is in there." She pointed at the pile of clothes on the chair.
Lisa grabbed the bars in anger and shouted, "Fuck you! Don't you have any shame left?!"
"Your friend said the same thing, and then bit me. Look what I did to her. Do you want to suffer the same as her? Let me tell you. To survive in this apocalypse, you need to embrace your true-self. Follow the powerful, and exploit the weak. Abilities don't define your strength. That man, with ice powers died, didn't he? And you have... space powers. That knife in your hand? Must be from your storage. But it's useless. Your storage can't do a thing. So, tread carefully... unless, you want to be sold in the 'black market.' Instead of high-profile people, you will be forced to serve the filth of the society," said Aska.
"You are suggesting us to accept whatever is coming our way? You are mad!" sneered Lisa.
Aska laughed, "Then tell me, what can you even do?"
Lisa's face was storming. She wanted to say something but she couldn't.
"Why do you sell humans? Do you sell males also?" I asked.
Aska smirked, "I thought you wouldn't talk to me and let your friend do all the talking."
"I am not her friend!" exclaimed Lisa.
Aska smirked, "Maybe. But now... you are on the same boat. Valeria, was it? Yes, we sell males also... but they have to be 'handsome.' They have to be 'beautiful.' Ugly things like your friends, can't be sold. So, it's better to kill them."
Lisa yelled, "You! I will kill you!" Oh, come on! Just stop it! We know you want to kill her, but can you? I mean, we all know you can't kill her... or, even anyone here. All you can do, is to cry pitifully.
I ignored her and looked into Aska's eyes. Either I can continue to talk with her, or I can just force my will into her head.
For some reason, I want to talk.
I nodded my head and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
Aska snorted, "Are you asking the same type of question like her?" She pointed at Lisa.
To clarify my question, I said, "No, my question is different. Very different from hers. What I want to ask is, a very simple question. You see, humans confuse me. When facing an adversity, they unite. You unite. But if the adversity is much... powerful and dangerous than your range... you all turn against each other. Why is that?"
Aska gave me confused look. She asked, "You are also a human, aren't you? Although, you looks are quite exotic... but that doesn't mean you are not a human. Wait, why are you smiling? Did I tell you a joke? Stop smiling!"
I couldn't help but smile at her words.
Human?
Me?
What a fucking joke! Well, let's reveal my real identity. I can't wait to see her face when she realizes that I am not a human. Also, I want to drink her blood. Hmmm~ I want to savour it! Especially, women have a more tender neck than men.
Just as I was about to reveal my real identity, I heard gunshots.
