SUNRISE

I clearly heard a voice shouting in my mind, saying, "ALPHA-OMEGA, wake up!"

When suddenly my vision slowly returned, I saw the monster standing in front of me, facing my companions, and it slowly turned to look at me.

And all my wounds suddenly vanished.

I felt that the pain in my body was gone. I touched my chest and noticed that the hole was no longer there.

The monster faced me, standing in front of me, while I was still lying on the grass.

The monster was about to step on me when suddenly the color of my eyes changed; the left side turned blue and the right side turned red.

As the monster's foot was about to hit me.

Oh, my body suddenly moved on its own.

My body avoided the monster attack, as I am not responsible.

I stood up, and we stared at each other fiercely, while my friends just looked at us.

The monster charged, but I felt different today; I could clearly see the monster's speed compared to before, which was incredibly fast, and I felt a strange power.

When the monster charged at me, its sharp claws aimed at my chest, but I quickly grabbed its hand and broke its bone immediately.

I lifted the monster and slammed it to the ground.

I feel like the monster is so light.

And I asked myself.

"Am I still human?"

When the monster was about to stand up, I immediately stepped on its back, preventing it from moving., while the monster could no longer move from where it was lying. I looked at my companions and saw a mix of fear and astonishment on their faces.

I carried the unconscious monster with one hand and went to the edge of the big cliff.

Because the monster doesn't die, I can't just throw it away and let it come back to life.

"We don't deserve to exist in this world!"

I told my colleagues and looked at them.

"What do you mean to say, Yasu?"

My friends, who were looking at me, asked me.

"I'm no longer human!"

"We will jump off the cliff together," and I will make sure that this monster will never live again".

I suddenly looked at them and then at the deep ravine.

"Yasu!" Hikaru called me, and I saw tears fall in her eyes.

I turned to them and said,

"goodbye to all of you guys", "and goodbye to you, Hikaru."

As we jumped into the deep ravine, I only saw half of Hikaru's face rushing towards me while they were trying to stop her from following.

As I fell into the abyss, the rays of the sun also emerged behind us, as if saying that the darkness is over and light will reign on this day.

While strong winds were hitting me, I'm still holding the unconscious monster. I just closed my eyes, and tears fell as I thought that I would never see my friends again.

And I just looked up and saw my friends with sad faces as they looked at the deep ravine I had fallen into.

A night full of tragedy, a night that changed our lives.

I just closed my eyes.

and waiting for this nightmare to end.

[PHASE TWO] 5 YEARS

Christmas is coming soon again, Dave said next to Hikaru, who was looking at the sky.

While Hikaru catches the falling snow from the sky in her palms.

Sigh, yes, even though tomorrow marks five years since the tragedy happened, we still can't forget what happened, Kagumi said while drinking coffee, leaning against the wall of the house.

After Christmas, it will be five years., but that tragedy will remain in our minds as if it were just yesterday, said the old man standing at the side, wearing a thick coat, with his hands behind him, looking up at the sky.

The past Christmases were not happy anymore; hopefully this Christmas will be joyful, Alice said, wearing a thick coat with her hands tucked into the pockets.

"Do you think he's still alive?" Hikaru asked, staring at the sky with tears streaming down.

While the four of them just looked at her.

"Let's forget what happened."

said by the old man while looking at the sky with a face that showed sadness.

Hikaru turned around and entered the house, while heads were bowed and tears were falling.

"Uhm, what are you doing here, old man?" Kagumi asked while sipping coffee.

"Ahhh, I want us all to be together this Christmas". The old man spoke, then raised his head and gazed at the white sky.

"Let's go inside; it's cold here." Dave said while rubbing both shoulders because of the cold.

They all entered the house and sat on the couches while the old man was brewing coffee and Dave was eating chips.

"What are we going to do for Christmas?" Kagumi asked while turning on the television.

"We won't be doing anything this Christmas", I just want that all of us to be together."

The old man spoke while sitting down and stirring his hot coffee.
