Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: eating savagely

The tower was up and was ready to burst out the heaven. Eres looked as she was loost in thought how come that there is a tower in the middle of the city all of a sudden these sort of thing only happened at the main city. 

She looked as people started to get out of those tower. Eres was not sure what she was seeing when the people had wings and a white sort of color. Her green eyes shimerered. This was something extraordinary. 

"Something beautiful." 

Eres was mesmerized by the thing that she was seeing but so were her parent. They have been staring this way, their head tilted up all this time. This was the awakening center there was one in each cities. 

Today somehow their eyes were turned in that direction as well as their whole body. Eres looked at the yard. And there started a whole session of working on those thing. 

When the sun was high she looked ahead to know the time. And that's when someone flew by and Eres looked in that direction, it was a hunter they seemed to have come from along battle. 

"Look at them acting all high and migthty."

Eres sneered. Eres was 5'9 feet tall and yet that sneer of her was the most annoying thing that could ever exist in existence. Eres continued to use a spade as she hammer it on the ground. Quite the harduous work.

She could see that her parent were already starting to move around the sofa they favorite morning routine. Her eyes trailed to the scythe as she took it in hands and started to take the yielded wheat. 

Eres was getting quite bored now. And she wanted to enjoy more of the city. Perhaps all the bizzare thing that has been happening to her lately was because of this tower over there. The awakning tower. 

"Pop, mom, wait a bit." She rolled up her sleeve as she let the vegetables boil. 'This will work.' She thought as she sat on the sofa. High school has already ended for months, and Eres hasn't made a thought on going and trying to find a university for herself, in fact, there was this thought that maybe a university didn't suit her, she has food to eat after all.

She took a plate and served her parents. She was using the spoon as she sip it in. It may not taste extraordinary, but it was nice neverthless. 

"So how is it, do you love it?" Eres looked as her pop and mom ate faster, the food was delicious enough for them to not even use spoons. "I am quite the cook, everything turn good under my hand."

...

"How much is it?" Eres asked as she counted the coin on her hands.

"10 dollars" The clerk said as they typed on the keyboard. 

"How about refreshmen?"The clerk handed down the tickets and then asked. 

"Water will do." Eres replied flatly. 

The clerk smiled sneakily, Eres rolled her eyes, Clerk like her probably enjoy seeing couple tearing themselves apart. 

She walked down the hallway. It was an apocalyptic type of movie.

"Where are you?"

"Already on the theatre room." Eres ended the call. Eres found it odd that a man would give their number away so easily. It was when she was walking in the city to look for things that will get her out of her boredom that this man came introduced himself and said they should met at a movie theatre. It was three days ago. 

She looked as one couple entered the room. 'He will come.' Eres looked as the time ticked by in her phone, and then he sent a message that he would not come, by text. 

She hurried her steps as she caught a train.

Sitting now at her desk. She looked at her parents that were in the living room, as they eat savagely whatever things that she had brought. "Seriously mom and pop, eat slowly, you are even eating the plastic and paper." Eres helped to clean their face. 

They responded with a growl as they ate more fiercely.

Eres walked back to her desk as she looked at a bunch of books over there that were explaining the reality of this world. She was vying to be part of a good university so that she could work gooldly later on. 

She smiled. 

Being a hunter mean being able to attend the academy training center. 

She looked at her phone this email she received when she was with the clerk. She opened it and saw that she was accepted in that university and that she no longer has to pay for anything.

TZZ

Everything go dark. 

"Oh, shit." Eres quickly ran off to her parents and turned on the light of her phone. "Don't panick okay guys, I am sure it is going to come back-"

And then the light came back up again. And Eres felt a chill run down her spine. 

She looked at the fan, it's move started to go in reverse before it settled back to it's normal origin. 

As her eyes were focused on the roaring motor. She placed her hand on the sheet of plastic that covered it, and it was quite hot. 

"Is it going to explode?" Eres took a breath of relief. 'this thing was not going to explode;' she thought and the next instant it exploded, and she was on the ground touching her arm. 

The same thing happened again. It exploded, but it was a slightly mini explosion that did not damage much of the material while it just ripped open the hole. Eres's arm was burned and with her reflexive recoil she managed to be safe from the explosion. Her parent well they were munching the sofa now. 

Eres cursed and just covered the thing with bandage. Her phone ringed and it was that boy. That stranger that she met in the train that offered that they watch a movie together and yet did not come. Eres responded, and they talked curtly before it ended. 

Mom tilted her head, her eyes growing sharper, while pop stopped eating.

Unbeknown to Eres. If she had been up, she would be staring at them.
