Chapter 11: Are you trustworthy?
We'll talk about rewards when you wake up.
Strat soon saw his surroundings disappear into nothingness.
*First POV*
I heard the cries of David. I opened my eyes and saw myself on the couch. I put my hand on my head only to notice that I'm still in the same armor when I fought Arthur. I took off the helm and slowly lifted myself off the couch.
I went towards the cries of David that still ring in the air. I went over David's crib and lifted him up carefully. I started to shake him slightly and trying to calm him down. But soon I was hit by the horrendous smell. It looks like I forgot to wash him.
I went over to the sink since he was still small and started to wash him. Though I was negligent on washing him. I try my best since this is my first time. Afterwards I grabbed a new diaper and put it on David.
I went to a random refrigerator, got some milk and warmed it out. I then put in a bottle and gave it to David. Afterwards I put him back in his crib for him to sleep.
"Finally it's time for me to eat!"
I then saw the bloodbath out side but I left that for later. I then went to find the kitchen.
*Unknown Third POV*
In the far distance away from the town came a truck.
"Wake up sleepyhead. We're almost there." Said the woman shaking her friend.
"mmm... I don wanna." Said the friend.
The woman than smacked her friend in the face.
"Alright I'm awake you motherfucker!" Yelled her friend.
The woman nodded.
" We're almost to the town. We're about 2 miles out from the location." Said the woman.
After a few minutes passed they neared the location. They hoped to be welcomed by the residents but were welcomed by bloody corpse. They stopped their car and got out. Looked around and kept seeing the same thing. They walked forward to see what else happened.
Then they stopped at a cybernetic spine that was shattered and stained with blood.
"The hell! They told us that this town was thriving." Said the woman.
Then they saw a human shaped figure in the distance. They started to get afraid. The woman's friend took out her gun.
"If you come near us and.... um I'll shoot!" She yelled.
The figure kept walking forward. The woman began to shoot her gun towards them. But the figure dodged the bullets as if it was nothing. Then the figure suddenly appeared in front of her and grabbed her by the neck.
"Who the hell are you guys?" The figure asked.
She tried to get out of it but couldn't even move one finger. She answered the figures question.
"I'll... Tell... You ... Just... Let... Go.... Of... Me...!" She begged as she almost couldn't speak.
The figure let go of her neck.
"Now. Speak."
She rubbed her neck before answering.
"My name is Jennifer and my friend that was about to kick you is Anna. We're here to stay at a Airbnb until the time for our concert in Caster City. Now for our questions. Who are you? Did you kill that lived here?"
The figure signed.
" I'll tell you but just follow me." He responded.
The figure then walked and they followed him. He then opened the door of a building and they heard cries of a baby. The figure then had his armor disappear. They saw a tan skinned man with the darkest shade of black. The man then picked up the kid and started to shush towards the baby.
The baby slowly stopped crying. He then placed the baby back into its crib. He then greeted a robot and said something to it before going away. He gestured the lady's to follow him towards a table. They sat down on the chairs that were ready for them.
"Alright my name is Sebastian Vasquez or what I call myself Strat. As for one of your questions, no I didn't kill the residents here. I saved them from being sold, some of them were defiled and those people people committed suicide and were buried in a cemetery in the back. Now ask your questions." Said Strat.
Both of the women huddled together to discuss what they want to ask.
" Alright we got our questions ready. Who's kid is that? How the hell did you get those military grade cybernetics. And why do you have that sword?" Asked the both of them in unison.
Strat noticed that he still had Excalibur on himself. So he immediately put it away and acted like nothing was there.
"What... I see no sword. The military grade cybernetics were made by me except for the blades those were found here in this town just to kill the local Gangs around this area. I pushed the limit on how many perks on each one of the cybernetics. I almost made myself impenetrable." Said Strat in response.
Both of the women were dumbfounded by the first part but understood the second part.
"One more question, why stay here if Caster City is near this place?" questioned Jennifer.
" Wait... You know where's Caster City?" Asked Strat in a flat tone.
" Yeah... didn't you know. I mean we mentioned Caster City in the beginning." Jennifer answered.
"Well. Could you tell me which direction it is?" Strat questioned.
" It's 7 miles north from this place. You need a ID to enter but other than that that's pretty much it." She said.
" Thank you" said Strat.
Both of the women stood up in urgency.
"Oh crap! We're almost late to the concert we're playing in. We'll probably meet you in Caster City. So see ya~!" Said Jennifer.
Before the both of them went away, they both blew a kiss to Strat. He stood there having to sort out his thoughts.
' To think I have to live back in the same city that I was killed in.' Thought Strat.
Strat went back to the couch to sleep since he had a long day that was ahead of him.
