Vivian is staring at Kevin who is blankly watching the horizon. He has worry and indecisive air around him. His heavy breathing and deep sigh make Vivian worry.

Vivian: Even if we only been together for some weeks. I know what you are thinking.

Kevin looked at her before sighing again in distress. Vivian just happens to have enough of it. In a quick slap, Kevin is stunned silly.

Kevin: What's that for!

Vivian: I like that better. Now tell me what you are thinking. We are now partners and you telling me will ease and also reduce your burden. Don't be such a fool and think that you can always protect me.

Kevin helplessly nodded at her.

Kevin: Werewolves…. I don't know if you're going-

Vivian: So this will be the place?

Kevin snap his head in her direction in response to her confusing words.

Vivian: My father was a vampire hunter. He would say that every day then some gang of wild buff man came to our house talking to my father before he vanishes during the night with only a note. 'Leave Europe.' I and my younger brother tried to but fate doesn't seem to agree. The rest you know it already.

Kevin: But what is that thing you said earlier?

Vivian: Hunting and feeding ground. The two supernatural functions often fight for the source of food while Werewolves fight for prey. The vampire search for a home to expand and blood banks.

Kevin: That's why we need to leave this place.

Vivian then looks at him before shaking her head in disappointment. She left Kevin looking at her back confused. He doesn't know what to do now.

'Coward!!! Hahahaha!!!'

Fierce glow flicker on his eyes before disappearing. He started to walk back to their campsite. The rest of the day was silent as Vivian refused to talk to him even look at him.

Early, morning Kevin is already walking fast in the south east direction. On his back is Vivian asleep or better yet unconscious. He was already traveling for two hours in full run before resting for a walk.

*Gruntss…

Vivian: Where are we?

Kevin: Somewhere you are safe.

Vivian: I am already safe. You just being a coward. At the start, you felt like some hero trying to help everyone. Then this time when you have time you run like some bastard dog.

Her words were soft but they carried sharp spikes that stop Kevin in his tracks. He sighed before starting to walk again firmly holding her thighs on his waist.

Kevin: I am a coward. I'm not gonna risk you for strangers.

Vivian: Aren't we strangers at first?

Kevin then drops Vivian and take some distance from her.

Kevin: Why can't you get it!!! I'm not a hero neither is a saint to risk something I already have hands full!!

Vivian: You sure are a selfish bastard.

Kevin: Yeesss!! I am a selfish bastard!!

Vivian stands up and holds his cheeks. She looks at him softly before kissing him. This stunned Kevin, reciprocating it with his actions he pulled her close.

Vivian: Yes, I got myself a selfish bastard for goodness sake. At least give them some choice idiot.

Kevin then again make her ride his back before running again fast. His whole body leaning forward and hands stretch out like some predator lunging.

Kevin: I already did.

In the town, everyone was shocked at what they saw in the very morning. Dead bodies of games and words are written in blood.

"Leave or Die!!"
