On the Other Side of the City

"I could only be myself with you around
Oh, with you around
And now there’s nothing left for me to think about
Whoa, to think about"

"And it hurts like hell
To be torn apart
And it hurts like hell
To be thrown around"

 

Sehun was nervous.

He didn't know them.

The others trusted them.

Almost instantly.

Silver.

Cricket.

Who were they?

They all walked as a big group.

All except Sehun.

He walked a few paces behind.

Suho.

Baekhyun.

Chanyeol.

D.O.

Kai.

They all trusted them.

The two strangers.

They were nice.

They were fun.

Sehun was suspicious.

Cricket.

He was definitely an Anomaly.

A powerful one.

He didn't hide it.

Sehun didn't like it.

Not at all.

D.O laughed.

Not on the inside.

Inside he was scared.

Earlier that day,

The ground shook.

But that isn't what scared D.O.

Everyone had felt it.

The ground shaking.

That's what scared D.O.

He was used to feeling tremors.

He could always feel them.

He was the only one.

Until now.

It was huge.

It scared D.O.

He wondered what else was out there.

Baekhyun walked next to Cricket.

Baekhyun was happy.

Truly happy.

A place to sleep.

That's what they offered.

Silver and Cricket.

They had offered Baekhyun and his family a place to sleep.

Baehyun was happy.

Relieved.

They hadn't had a place to stay since they had arrived.

The City was a cold place at night.

Suho was conflicted.

They were supposed to capture Anomalies.

Or kill them...

No.

Suho didn't want to think of that.

The two strangers were nice.

One of them was an Anomaly.

It made him think.

Was their mission really justified?

Suho wasn't sure.

Chanyeol was excited.

Food.

Warmth.

His park friend.

He hadn't seen her since the park.

Chanyeol had trouble remembering her name.

Otter?

Otto.

Yeah.

It had to be Otto.

She was the first friend Chanyeol had made in the City.

He was excited to see her again.

Maybe they could go to a park.

Silver pointed out a building to Kai.

"That place has really good food."

Kai nodded.

He liked the two City kids.

They were nice.

They could joke around.

Kai wanted to stay around them.

Cricket walked behind them.

Aloof.

Smirking.

New friends?

They seemed to be Anomalies.

Birds of a feather flock together.

He guessed it was true.

But these guys weren't from the City.

Cricket's smile faltered.

Did the others make it home?

Otto?

Taver?

Yuri?

Ace?

Did she even make it out of the park?

A shiver ran down his spine.

What if they never see her again?

What if that was the last time he ever saw her?

What was the last thing they did together?

Cricket barely remembered.

But that wasn't his fault.

He blamed the drugs.

They were strong.

His hands were trembling the whole time.

Cricket couldn't remember much.

The whole night was a haze.

He could only remember one thing.

Waking up at a subway station.

Ace slumped next to him.

The details were fuzzy.

The hangover was massive.

It could have been the time of his life.

But he didn't remember.

Silver yelled at them.

They had returned.

Hungover and stumbling.

Cricket had torn his shirt again.

It was so funny at the time.

Cricket didn't know why.

He shook his head.

Ace was okay.

She had to be.

 

 

"Jesus ing christ."

Kris held a large shard of glass.

It was bloody.

He had pulled it out of his shoulder.

But he wasn't the worst off.

Kris surveyed the damage.

Lay was still healing Chen.

Chen still didn't look whole.

Large cuts.

Gashes.

Tears.

Bruises.

Crooked limbs.

There was so much blood.

He was a mess.

Tao was still unconsciou
