"Ergh?" A sigh rang out, Eva felt something hot hit the other side of her face. The woman tried to slowly open her two eyes which still felt heavy, the red sky was seen welcoming Eva very clearly. To the extent that it made Eva astonished, it was rare for her to be able to stare at the sky scene with the color of blood without a hitch. Without obstacles? Eva rushed up from her sleep, still in the same place—Eva witnessed that she was not wearing a wolf skull mask that she always used to cover half her face. Zim was not far from the woman's position, with a fire stove and some other cookware.
Deft or alert, I don't know. Eva took the sword and pointed it right at the tiger's neck. Zim did not react to Eva's behavior, the man was busy taking care of the centipede's legs in front of the firebox to be perfectly baked.
"You took off my mask Zim?" Even though she already knew the answer Eva just wanted to make sure. The panther glanced at the sharp bead, typical of big cats, which gave Eva an aura of intimidation. The creature growled, its fangs visible. Damn it looks like Eva has no other choice but to kill Zim— her one-way trip friend. Although it is a pity but Eva does not want to take risks; do not let her existence leak and cause big problems later.
"Hah~" Eva flinched lightly upon seeing Zim instead sighing long while displaying a soft expression, unlike before.
"Let your sword down..." Even the man asked Eva to lower her sword in a gentle tone.
The frozen Eva did not respond as Zim expected, the woman seemed clueless about the big cat. All the creatures of the underworld should be lustful to humans but why does Zim look; different?
The lust that is meant here is something like the desire to eat humans, kill or marry them.
"I don't want to fight with you." Zim lamented in despair. He had run out of energy because he had to fight alone a few hours ago, serving Eva just because she was human made the big cat tired.
Eva held back her sword and sat some distance away from the panther, looking cautiously at Zim. Again, it made Zim take a deep breath. He handed the foot of the grilled centipede to Eva but was not welcomed by this woman.
"I know you're hungry.Take this, we need to charge up if we want to continue the journey to the southern capital." Light Zim as it is. Still with the stone attitude Eva then asked—
"Why?"
Zim tried hard not to understand but the man was defeated by the piercing look Eva gave him. I don't want the big cat to answer.
"I was quite surprised to find out that you are human.." there was a bitter tone in the sentence Zim had just said, as if the figure looked a little disappointed with reality. Feeling betrayed.
Hearing the sentence makes Eva unconsciously say the word—
"Sorry." Zim glanced then smiled wryly at Eva.
"I don't mean to fool you Zim, it's just that I have my own goals..." The tiger beetle tried to understand him, he nodded his head while eating several feet of a mature centipede.
"Is that so..."
"I'm going to disappear Zim, so let me go and tell no one about my existence as a human being in the underworld. I beg Zim." Said Eva, although it sounded clear she really hoped that Zim would grant it. The woman did not want to end up slashing the neck of the first friend she had in the Demon world.
"What are you talking about?" Zim asked in no way. The man's eyebrows shot up.
"Hey? Like I said before, I don't want to fight with you. It doesn't matter if you're human. I still want to accompany you to the south, can't I?"

Eva looked up, occasionally giving a meaningful look towards Zim. Although the atmosphere between them still felt awkward Eva did not think that they could still walk side by side like this. The last conversation that the woman remembered was about Zim; the panther who wanted to accompany her to the south was like their original plan. There is no other purpose or purpose, Eva only sees sincerity in the eyes of the big cat.
"Because I really like you, so I don't have the heart to hurt you." she said. Eva's face reddened, the sentence without elements of romance was successful in making Eva wrong behavior. It felt a little happy; Eva was like getting a friend. Unknowingly the woman smiled brightly, holding Zim's hand.
"Thank you" I don't know what, but Eva is grateful to be reunited with this panther.
...***...
"A little while we get to Eve.." said Zim while stopping his steps, the creature glanced over his shoulder; where Eva was— rested his head with his eyes closed. The woman was seen acting unguarded, whereas a few hours ago she still put on a look of caution but see now? He even dared to sleep in the arms of a monster. Tch. tch, not worth emulating.
"Eve? Wake up. You need to put on your mask." said Zim again this time stronger while turning the rear sling towards the front. The black cat raised Eva's body high while waiting for this lazy creature to wake up.
Like a newborn baby, Eva opened her eyelids slowly.
"Why do you fall asleep so easily?" Zim asked confusedly. He placed Eva on the ground while still holding her body from falling, Eva was heard yawning. He gently sweeps the itchy eyelids while speaking.
"I almost spent half of my pure life energy Zim while lifting the stone, so I needed to rest or I would disappear." said Eva while putting on a skull mask with a lazy face. Although Zim did not really understand the meaning of Eva's words; but he thought that maybe what Eva said was like an equivalent exchange. He needed to divide his soul if he wanted to obtain power, that kind of thing.
"Eve you forgot to cover the scent of the body!" Reprove Zim when he realized the woman gave off her unique smell. Eva turned her head, she patted the eel.
Damn, the black cat is right.
"If there was a perfume spray here?!" Exasperated Eva, the woman was determined to topple the body on the ground before Zim offered something to the woman.
"I have something like that if you want to?"
Huh huh?
"really?" Plain Eva parrots with their sparkling looks..
