Not born taciturn and largely not verbose. If the topic is not really important, then there's not use talking about it. Therefore, I teleport towards or behind the wall where the boy that I need to kill was. There he is. A tall boy wearing a printed, plain blue shirt, striped trousers, blue hat and black slippers. Sitting on the same bench beside the boy, a girl wearing a printed plain white shirt, mauve pants and a green slippers. Her hair that's tied together by a pink band. Except them, there is no more people here, maybe it was because it's already midday and the sunlight is so warm.
The smoke from the cigarette of the boy which the third person that I need to kill is floating in the polluted air. I don't know why there are many people who are wasting their money in insignificant things. Those people cannot see themselves amidst the smoke in the morning, they chose to buy cigarettes rather than foods, clothes or significant things. In effect, it made me think if which is important to them, their vices of their life. I know that they cannot be judge by me, because it's their lives and not mine, they have freedom to do the things that hey want as long as they are not hurting others.
Unfortunately, the girl which was with the cigarette boy looked dead, because I was just looking here minutes elapsed, but she's not moving. Or maybe she's just sleeping there, because her head perched on the bench's shoulder. But lately, Cain told me if what power does the boy has, and he seemed telling the truth because of what I see. My hunch about the girl that's lying there on the bench became stronger when I remembered the words of Cain.
He said, "The third person that you need to kill has a power of smoke, which came from his cigarettes. You must not go towards him headlong, because if you smell those smoke, definitely, you will be out of your consciousness and if you smell too much smoke—definitely, you will die in just a short period of time."
For a long time that I am with Cain, I learned and observed the way he talked seriously and if he's not serious in his words. If his word is long and does not have any destination, hilarious, reprimanding or something that wants to talked like an insane man, that's not important. Therefore, if his word is whether short or not, but wants to convey, advise or warn me, that's very important and need my attention. As it can affect my fights towards the hundred of humans or even monsters nor aliens that were destined to fight me.
But the big question in my mind is, "How can I go towards that boy without breathing?" Necessarily, I shall breathe to go there, else I will die instead of him. It is really a difficult task and I know that my next task is more difficult than this. I will surely need the help of Cain in this kind of situation, because he is powerful and spirit that cannot even breathe because he's the air itself. But if he won't help me with this boy then I don't care, because I cannot control others. And if I die, that's just okay, because this life of mine is so unpleasant. If there is another chance to restart, I will live a life where nobody's with me, I want to be alone.
With bravery, I go towards the cigarette boy. While going towards him, I realized that I mistook something. One, two, three, four—four people lying on the ground, I mistook as just clothes or garbage, or nothing, but they really not, they are dead or maybe out of their consciousness because of the smoke from this boy's cigarette. The features of the boy and girl also attracts my attention. Their faces are related to each other, if I was not wrong they are siblings, because it's not possible that they are couple because of their looks seemed far from each other's ages. I know I cannot judge them, because when it comes to love, looks and ages does not matter, for there are other who's in December affair.
I thought that I better die fighting for my freedom rather than to let freedom depart me. I was surprised when I was not lost of consciousness as what happened to these four. I also noticed that there's no cigarette left to the boy. My hope came back and it is not my end yet, but it is the end of this boy. There is one more thing that I noticed, the girl is not just out of her consciousness but truly dead and she is just lying there. She was pitiable, because of her young age, she experienced to be abandoned, but the most painful part the possibility that her own brother is the culprit.
The power of this boy had disappeared and instead of being looked strong, he looked pitiable in my eyes because of the diseases that he got from his own vice. That's not my problem anymore; if he was suffering because of it, then he deserves to rest. Instead of doing the right thing, what I did is the contrary, I killed the boy by throwing him against the black-painted wall. For sure, his bone had been broken because of it. I never did felt any weight of him when I slung him across the air. I don't know if what's made him alive, maybe his vices too, that instead of dying because of his vices, it is what making him alive, and now, he's not alive, but the contrary.
I had thought that it will be difficult for me to kill the third person. But it's the contrary. It turned to be the most easiest. Unfortunately, that's what life is, many things are unexpected and it was sometimes surprising and there's horror. Some people, somewhere, in a happy ending, that is life, what one can do is to hope that he or she is one of those. Though I had killed that boy in just a short time, that's not yet the best, because there is only one thing that is the best for me, and that's to live my normal life, again.
For the sake of his freedom, just in a second after the death of the cigarette boy, Cain suddenly appeared beside me. I don't know if he have powers of connection to the people that I killed, but it seemed that he know when that person is already dead. And that's his spotlight, he will perform something, I don't know if what should I call to it, but 'vesper' is the most accurate word. After he perform the vesper, he turned and go towards me, as usual, it's time to leave and go to the next.
"Cain, this may sound unimportant, but can you tell me to the thing that you are performing? Or is it appropriate to call the thing as vesper?" I asked.
"Whahaha," Cain laughed. I was surprised when he now can laughed like a normal human, unlike before that every time he would laughed, he seemed to be a demon who wants to invade them whole world. Well, it is all my mistake, because he was always with me and I influence him, as he also influence me. Because before I was a little bit coward, and he was always quarrelling with me, but now, he turned me into a valiant one. It is not called influenced, but because of his treat towards me, because he love to underestimate my capability, and that's why I want to prove to him that I can weave more.
I thought why Cain was just laughing when I asked him about the vesper. Eventually, I realized that we don't want to talk, especially in unimportant matters. But because I was really determined and it's one of my manner that if I want to know something, I would really coerce someone. Well, that's not truly my manner, because I am not an inquisitive boy. I just want to asked and I want an answer, because I don't want it to mess my mind, and there is nothing will be gone if Cain will tell me about it. Consequently, I coerce him to tell me; eventually, he started to talked too much words again. But throughout those thousands of words, there are just few I gets.
Cain told me that the thing is not called "vesper." In the place where he came from, the place of spirits, they called it as simple as "offering." Because they offered someone's spirit into one that's powerful, as an exchanged in asking his or her help. He explained that in the law of spirits, there is no help if there is not an exchanged, which means one thing, everyone has oneself, which the other can only enter if they have an exchange for their request. In summary, vesper is a very far word, I would never say and asked anything like that again, because that's a bit, but making myself foolish.
"Are you now okay?" Cain asked. "You told me that we should not talk about unimportant things, that's why I don't want to talk about anything again, but look at you, you were coercing me."
"Can you stop talking anything unimportant things again?" I asked.
"What kind of man you are. I cannot understand what you really want, because it seemed that you only wanted to talk, but you don't want other to talk. Don't you know that you violent my right to talk?"
"Of course I know, but if you want to talk freely, then go away."
I don't know why I felt like I don't want others to talk, especially those people who are just talking and talking, but they never did anything to changed the situation that they are talking about. Or maybe Cain was right, it is just nothing, but an ignorance, and I joined Cain. I know here is nothing will be gone if Cain talked and it is not stated in the law that someone should not talked, because it's their freedom to talk as long as they are not hurting someone through their words.
"So you are driving me away now?" the verbose asked.
"Uh... I don't know, maybe you can just forget about it or you'd better bring me to the place where the fourth person lives," I replied.
"You are right, that is what we shall do instead of quarreling."
Just a second that Cain raised his hand, we already transported into the other place in just a heartbeat. A place where there is no more polluted air, just like the place the cigarette boy lives. It was very different from that place, and I hoped that every portion of the whole world will turned like this place. I know that however disciplined everyone is, some were still does not mind whatever happened to the Earth, because they are thinking that they are already died before the world suffer. They don't think and care about what might happen to the next generations of people. Did not think that it was the only thing that they can help to the next generations, because as what they thought, they are already dead at that time and they cannot do anything except it.
"So, where is the fourth person to fight me?" I asked.
"Don't be hasty, he is not here," Cain replied.
"What a shit... do you mean he is a man? He is not here? Then why did you bring me here? Where is he?" I asked, continuously.
"Dramatic, just wait and you will see him, there is just something that I want to..." Cain had not finished his words when interrupted.
"What the hell is that? For sure, I don't need to hear your foolish words." I walked away from the spot where Cain was.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"Just going to take the nature, don't follow me."
"Okay, but wait, there is something that I want to tell you, it may sound not important, but it may help you."
What the hell is Cain, he admitted it by himself that it's unimportant, but he still wants to tell me something about it. I had been thinking if how unimportant things could help me in this kind of situation.
"I told you, don't follow me, my cock is going to cried out a water. You shall not dare to tell me anything about such unimportant things again, because unimportant things cannot help us."
"If that's what you want, but don't blame me if there is something happened, because I did not lack to warn you." He disappeared from the spot where he was, but I know where he went. As what we acquiesced, he will be going to the other place to search for the other people in order to make it end fast.
After taking the nature, I zipped my blue trousers that was given by Cain many days ago. As long as I am with Cain, I don't need money to buy clothes, because he will just give me anything I want. Soon, I will be mastering his magic too, so that I won't need his help again.
I was surprised when there is someone who suddenly held my left side shoulder. It was a heavy hand that made my left shoulder drooped. As what I always do when it happens, I grabbed someone's arm who was holding my shoulder and turned our positions opposite.
"Hey, who are you? Are you watching me while urinating?" I asked.
He removed my hands from his shoulder. "Hahaha, what the hell man, do you really want to know who am I? Or you are just scared that I might detach your cock from your body?" the man asked.
This man is wearing a yellow shirt and pants and black boots with yellow soles. He had yellowish-golded hair, thick black eyebrows, bronze eyes, high nose, some wrinkles and acne on the bronze skin of his face. He had pinkish lips, thin hairs on his cheeks and chins. He was taller, weightier and maybe older than me for some years.
"Hell you! Do you want tell me or you want your teeth drop?"
"You are really brave, or coward that I might break you into pieces?"
"Bullsh*t scamp man! are you really trying my patience, huh? Then fight me now and we can see whose bone will be broken."
"Oh! Just relax man, Hahaha—you looked like red chili when you are angry."
"Such a callous—you looked like shit! Or you're definitely a shit. If you don't have anything to say, then go away!" I exclaimed.
"Don't drive me away, but before I will go you must know that I am number four, and I know that you was destined, but before you will try your best to defeat me, I will go first before you, catch this!"
Motherf*cker, what kind of man is this, he's not just strong but he has a dazing hands which I cannot looked at it directly because it seemed to be a dazing sun.
