Plundering in the Apocalypse

There was complete silence there. Only sounds of my cries and sniffs could be heard. Not a single monster was within the area. Unknowingly I was releasing a very dangerous aura around me, after my loss.

I looked at their bodies and bawled out loud.

They left me alone in this cruel world. I wanted nothing more than to die and meet them.

Even though my mom wanted me to live. The loneliness was too much for me to handle.

The thought of living without my mother was too heartbreaking for me.

"Why...why did you two leave me here? I am coming with you guys."

I didn't say anything else and got ready to kill myself. I was determined to die. There was no way I could cope with this loneliness. These few minutes without them were already too much for me.

I was thinking of an easy way to die.

'Should I jump from a building? Or slice my neck off? But I don't have anything sharp for that.'

I was pondering very deeply.

But soon a weird half-black and half-white translucent floating screen popped in front of me in the air.

There were a few messages written on them

[Congratulations you have awakened.]

[Congratulations you have awakened an SSS Rank Ability.]

[Assessing Status board.]

I didn't care about any other information. My eyes were focused on only two words.

"Soul Tamer?" I read about my special ability and my dim eyes started glimmering in hope. My unstable mind only wanted a Miracle to happen. Seeing my ability I had a weird feeling. I felt something deep connecting me with my ability.

Can it help me meet my mother?

I had a feeling this ability can be a hope for me. It can be the Miracle I wanted.

Soon another message popped up which made my eyes pop out in shock.

[Souls detected with a good relationship with the owner.]

[Would you like to make a contract?]

[Yes/No]

If this is what I am thinking. Then please be true. I only wished for it to be true. I didn't want to be alone.

I accepted it with some hope in my eyes. Even if it was wrong. I was originally planning to die anyway. I want to take this chance. If this works then something unbelievable might happen.

"Yes," I said out loud.

Soon my mother and Mr. Robin's body got wrapped in white lights and they disappeared into shiny particles. It was a mythical scene.

Suddenly a book shining in black and white aura appeared in front of me floating in the air. I grabbed it with my hands and the shine subsided a little. The book had a plain white cover on the front side and a dark black on the backside.

I was able to control the book with my thoughts only. I had just a single thought in my mind. Seeing mom and Mr. Robin.

Its first two pages started shining with a white gleam and two white-colored humanoid figures appeared in front of me. Their figure matched a woman and a man. Their appearance couldn't be distinguished but, I could tell at first glance. It was my mom and Mr. Robin. They can't talk to me but I can feel their feelings too.

My mom was happy. She can take care of me even after her death. She was happy that we all were still together. Her feelings were transmitted to me.

I couldn't hold back my tears as I looked at both of them as shining white human figures. It feels like I am connected to their minds.

I read the first two pages of the book.

My aching heart soothed a little and my mind became stable. I felt a little at ease. Even though they weren't back like they used to be. At least they are with me and I might even be able to find a way to get them to speak.

Between that happiness of getting this chance to be together. I felt some very deep anger and hatred coming from somewhere.

It was Mr. Robin and his hatred was directed at the main culprit for their deaths. My Ex-father.

At that very moment. My eyes turned cold and the white aura surrounding me vanished. A black aura started emitting from me and my mind was filled with hatred towards my Ex-father.

I wanted to torture and kill him. My mind was filled with bloodlust.

(It was at that moment Alice awakened her second personality.)

She turned to search for the direction her Ex-father escaped to.

"I'll cut him into pieces while torturing him to my heart's content and feed him to the pigs."

I rushed in his direction without caring anything. I had an idea of where he might be. He ran in the direction we were running before to reach a shelter. His destination should have been the shelter.

(Third Person POV)

The black aura emitting from Alice became more fierce. The monsters nearby were instinctively avoiding her and made way for her. They were terrified of her. It was the feeling of being in front of a Queen. To whom they should submit.

Alice's purple bob hair with blue shades turned black with the shades of dark red underside them. Her light blue eyes turned dark red and she looked too overbearing.

She rushed directly toward the direction of the shelter without any obstruction. She reached there very quickly. But she found out, that the door to the shelter was locked from the inside. She asked people inside to open the door.

"There's no way we are opening it."

"Yeah go back and die somewhere else."

"Don't die here or the monsters might come in."

"We don't have space to accommodate more people."

They were hell-bent on not letting Alice in. That's when a voice from the back fell on everyone's ears.

"Guys calm down. Can't you see?"

"What is it Drek?" Another man asked the voice who is determined as Drek.

"See that girl carefully. She is so beautiful. So she might be useful in some way or another."

He exclaimed as he licked his lips. His intentions were very clear and the others seem to catch onto that.

They looked at Alice while peeking through the glass at the door.

A beautiful girl with black-red hair, beautiful red eyes, and perfect body proportions. Their minds started having thoughts about Alice. They all agreed to let her enter.

What they didn't notice was that Alice was trying her best to control her deadly aura. She was ready to kill anyone who try to touch her.

As she entered inside. She turned her eyes at everyone to look for that bas***d.

She didn't even bother to mind the stares she was getting. As they were sizing her up while thinking of playing with her. She found her target and started moving towards him.

As they saw her move. Those guys tried to stop her as they couldn't wait to play with her. But as soon as they blocked her way she released her fierce black aura and the whole place turned deathly.

Those people couldn't stand on their legs as they suffocated to breathe. Their eyes rolled back as some of them fainted from the pressure. Some of them who didn't faint pissed their pants. They felt like, they were in front of their death.

As Alice moved forward she looked like a reaper. Who came to take their souls. They regretted thinking about doing such stuff with her.

The man named Drek was terrified and started shaking. He begged Alice to forgive him. He felt stupid to think of such things in this situation.

​ As Alice looked at him and sneered.

"Who do you think you are? Huh? What made you think you can have your way with me? Filthy bastards like you are worse than those monsters out there. Che. Disgusting."

Suddenly her eyes turned colder as she smiled. That was a terrifying smile.

Even with her beautiful looks that smile looked terrifying. She looked like a Goddess of death.

"Well, it seems you understand your mistake. So you need some punishment. But you have to wait for your turn. There is another one yet to be punished."

She turned to look in her Ex-father's direction, Who has been standing there frozen in the spot while looking at the scene unfolding in front of him.

He was in disbelief. The girl in front of him looked like his daughter but they were nothing alike. His daughter was always too kind. Because of her kind nature she sometimes even creates problems for herself. She never hurt anybody. She pulled through everything even while suffering. She was like an angel.

But the girl in front of him looked like a demon. There was nothing left of her previous self here. He was afraid in front of his own daughter.

Seeing her here. He knew Mia had died. But he didn't think Alice would be daring enough to go against him and look for revenge. She didn't have that in her. She couldn't have done that even if she tried to.

So how come? How come she looks like a reaper, ready to kill him and take his soul?

Snapping him out of his thoughts. Alice's glare made it certain. She was going to kill him. So he made up his mind to manipulate her and trick her into forgiving him.

Even though she looked different. She was still a naive little girl inside. He was certain. He could make it out of here.

"Alice, listen to me. You need to calm down."

"You know. I loved Mia very much. All these years I've been thinking about you guys. I just couldn't muster up the courage to return to you guys."

Alice stopped in her tracks. She didn't say anything just looked at him fiercely. Seeing Alice stop. Brad(Alice's Ex-father) thought, 'yes, it's working. I might be able to fool her. If I keep it up.'

"I've always regretted leaving you guys."

"Seeing you guys after all these years I couldn't stop myself from wanting to meet you two."

"I love Mia so much. I believe she also loves me."

"Do you really think so?" Alice asked trying to be as patient as possible. Seeing him yapping bullshit nonstop. She just wanted to jump on him and strangle him to death. But she restrained herself as she wanted to hear what he has to say. After doing such terrible things.

And what did she get? Total bullshit.

"Yes, or else why would she save me putting herself at risk."

He started crying fake tears. At least make it seem original. It's so obvious. Even a kid can tell he is faking it.

"I am so stupid. How could I be so careless as to leave her to die there? Only later did I find out she wasn't with me and died. Letting me escape while sacrificing herself."

He cried crocodile tears.

"Why Mia? Why did you love me so much as to make yourself a bait so I can escape? When did I ever deserve such love from you? I only did terrible things to you."

Looking at the act in front of her Alice sighed at that hypocrite and said.

"When did I say she died. If you found only later she wasn't there. How come you concluded she died."

Brad's face turn a little pale as he heard that.

"And sorry to break it to you. But I saw everything you did. Who are you trying to fool?" Alice continued.

"At least you know how terrible you are. So I'll make this fast." Alice's eyes turned colder as she said that.

"You don't have to worry about your sins. I'll make you repent right here before you die. I'll punish you for your sins. So there won't be any regret before you die." She said with a smile.

"Oh don't worry. I'll make it as painful as possible. Let your love for mom be the fuel so you can endure it. You do want to repent for your mistakes, right? So, I'll help you."

Alice had a hysterical smile on her face which made Brad gulp in fear.

"It's time to start my revenge."
