Part 79 The war began

"What's? No way, uncle," elak Abhimanyu who seems to reject fate.

"Boss, what's your reason for saying that?" ask Lian curiously.

"Because from the beginning we couldn't sniff out his whereabouts. While ordinary Kallandra can still show the characteristics of Kalla. But Nayaka?" ask Lian again, making sure.

"You sure? If from the beginning you didn't feel anything strange near Nayaka?"

The eagle and Abhimanyu looked at each other. Trying to find things that might be missed from their memories. Suddenly, Abhimanyu glared.

"Geez!" his screeches.

"What's? Do you remember anything?" ask Eagle. Lian also looked curious.

"Eum, I don't know, I'm not so sure about this either. But I remembered something."

"What's that?"

"At that time, the cafe was not so crowded visitors. Then a woman entered the cafe. Me and Nayaka are at the barista table. Nayaka is in front of me. Surprisingly, as the woman ordered a drink, and left, Nayaka breathed in the air with an expression of enjoying it very much. He said, "Hm, the smell is so tempting. Delicious food like that." At that moment, I smiled in response to his words. I thought he was just kidding."

"Crazy! The words alone are truly terrible. Uh, Bi? How did he say it back then? His expression and manner of speaking."

"What do you mean, Lian?"

"Speaking. He said it as usual. Like a normal conversation with you. Or there is emphasis. Or whatever it is. His expression, Bi!" obviously Lian was a bit irritated.

Abhimanyu recalled the event. "Eum, actually if you remember it again, it was like he was not the Nayaka I used to know. He looks like a psychopath in the movie. The way he uttered as if he really enjoyed the scent of the woman's body."

"It's not a body aura. But the air of his life!" cut Eagle.

"God! Apparently the person we're looking for is really close." Lian panicked back. "So what about Gio, Adi, and Vin?"

"Bi, it seems like it's time," said the Eagle seriously.

"But ... The sword ...."

"It must have been so. We'll take it!" said the steady eagle. He moved and grabbed his jacket. "You wait here! I'm going for a minute."

"Uncle?"

"Just a moment."

Nayaka walked into her study. Partially unbutton his shirt. Sitting in his national chair. "Hm, thanks for the dinner, Lyd. I will miss you so much."

Alicia's been inching backwards, very scared. He covered his mouth with both palms. Worried about the anxious voice coming out of his own mouth.

Nayaka turned to the side monitor. Watching everyone's activities, eum rather all Kalla in this building. His net was on the one person who was still the only human in this building. Chris.

"Well, I forgot about you, Chris." The man on the monitor was sitting at a table with security in front of him. Chris has been the custodian of this building for years. He is firm and supple. Easily familiar with others. Because he had to observe the behavior of everyone in this building. With that ability, Chris often catches thieves or captive events that do occur several times often here. It is very easy to catch suspicious movements from the interlocutor.

"alright. Maybe this will be your last night too. Wait a minute for me. I'm going down" said Nayaka in a slow tone at each word.

He picked up a plastic bag containing garbage in front of his desk. Alicia keeps trying to cover her body and prays that her hiding is unknown to Nayaka.

Nayaka walked out of her study while whistling. The steps were made very slowly. The door was heard closing from outside. This made Alicia able to breathe. She kept crying because she was panicking. Alicia immediately walked out of Nayaka's room.

Nayaka, who had gotten off the elevator, was about to pass Chris who was still sitting in his place. "You've had a lot of junk, yeah."

"Well, I forgot to throw it away last night, Chris," said Nayaka who walked towards the exit.

"Oh yeah, your friend will stay here?" Chris's question makes Nayaka's move stop. He looks.

"Friends? Which friend?" ask Nayaka confused.

"Alicia. No, did he go upstairs?" ask Chris.

Nayaka stared at the elevator with his signature smirk. "Ah, you're right. I forget. Sorry, Chris. Looks like Alicia's gonna be staying over."

Elevator closing. Nayaka smiled meaningfully along the way. He's determined to finish off Chris tonight. There was a little mouse hiding in his room.

Nayaka reached the floor of his room. He was playing with his index finger. He stuck it on the wall as long as he walked. He kept whistling. At the door of the room, Nayaka opened it. He called Alicia's name many times.

Silent. He walked into his study. Check the monitor there. Wanted to know where the little mouse went. Nayaka grabbed her cell phone. Contacting Chris.

"Chris locks the exit. Alicia just stole some of my valuables. Now he's definitely going to get out of this building. I'm looking for Alicia everywhere. It looks like he's hiding." Nayaka's tone was made as if she was anxious and nervous.

Chris immediately did as Nayaka ordered. Lock the exit and keep watch. Since this was the only exit there was, then Alicia would definitely come to this place. Chris is not going anywhere.

Nayaka checked all the monitors in this building. He replayed when Alicia's minutes came. It was the woman who entered his room. Then to his study. He also saw Alicia who was staring at the monitor in front. Alicia scared. And it ended when the woman hid under her desk. "Ah, you little mouse. You see everything?!" mummified Nayaka. He even looked down at the empty table.

"Let's see where this little mouse goes." Nayaka continues the search. He kept looking at the frightened Alicia and ran out of her room. "It turns out that's you, Alicia?" Nayaka who had found Alicia's hiding place immediately came out from her room.

On the other hand, Gio's car kept darting into the city. The streets of the city are completely silent. "Crazy! It's only been a few days that I feel like this city is a dead city!"

"You're right, Gi. Looks like the Kalla population is more dominant. We recommend that Eagle and Abhimanyu act immediately."

"Vin, you call the Eagle. Tell me what's going on here."

"Bi? Where's Eagle?" ask Vin.

"He was driving beside me."

"Where are you going?"

"We're catching up with you. Be careful with Nayaka."

"Nayaka's? Why why?"

"He's an Arkie!"

"What?! You serious?!" peekik Vin who sits in the back seat. Gio and Adi automatically looked back.

"Why?" ask Adi to Vin.

Vin did not answer and hung up his phone call. "Nayaka is Arkie! The eagle and Abhimanyu are following us. We better be alert."

"God! Nayakas?!"

"Eum, can we deal with it? While facing Kallandra alone ... We can't afford it." Adi's words make their spirit dim.

"Even if I have to die, I will. The origin of the vile creature was wiped off the face of this earth," said Gio who continues to drive.

Their car started near the Nayaka apartment.

_______

Nayaka started walking along the corridor. Calling Alicia's name. Bored, he called the entire apartment. He simply called by focusing his mind on the answer in this building. One by one Kalla appeared with their original form of course. Because in this building only Chris is still human. They were lined up along the corridor. The head bowed as a form of respect for their leader. Nayaka walks in the middle. Both of his hands were placed in his pants pocket.

"Tonight seems like it's going to be a long night for us. I have an intruder in this building. Only, he was very clever to hide. So it's your job to find him, and bring him to me."

"Okay, sir," they replied in unison while nodding. All Kalla disperse and start the search.

Unexpectedly Alicia had already arrived at the lobby. He passed through the emergency stairs with an already weak body. He saw Chris from a distance. Alicia hesitated to approach. Because he doesn't know if Chris is a part of Nayaka or a human.

Alicia sends Abhimanyu a message to check on Chris. Abhimanyu immediately made a video call to Alicia. Without saying much, Alicia pointed her phone screen at Chris.

Abhimanyu nailed his eyes. Staring at Chris. "He's still human." Abhimanyu's words made Alicia relieved. Then he immediately ran towards Chris who was standing in front of the door.

Chris, who saw Alicia approaching, then pulled out the baton in his belt. "Stop!" threaten Chris with caution.

Alicia stopped her steps. He looked worried that Nayaka was near them.

"Chris, we need to get out of here!" alicia said with a frightened face.

"Wait on! Take out your stolen goods first. I'm sure Nayaka will forgive you. Or do we just go to the police station? Which one did you choose?" chris asked, which confused Alicia.

"stealing? Me? Nah! Look Chris this isn't what you think it is! I'll explain. But we have to go first. It's up to you to take me to the police station or to court. Let's get out of this godforsaken place!" Alicia Whim.

Chris, who was used to paying attention to the behavior of others, caught the honesty in Alicia's eyes. I don't know why he felt Alicia was innocent. And Nayaka's accusation is untrue. "What do you mean, Alicia?"

"Chris please open this door! After that you can do anything. Just get us out of this place. Please ...." Alicia was crying hysterically. The elevator suddenly opened.

They both looked towards the elevator. The sound of footsteps echoed. Alicia gets riled up, while Chris gets confused. Alicia came closer to Chris.

"Oh, Nayaka. Alicia is here. Are you sure he stole something in your room?" chris asked as soon as he saw Nayaka coming out the elevator door.

Nayaka walked leisurely towards them. Alicia is backing away. Hiding behind Chris' body. He even held Chris' hand with a tremble. Chris who realizes something is wrong tries to see Nayaka's attitude that remains relaxed since getting out of the elevator.

"He's not human" whispered Alicia right in Chris' ear.

"What do you mean?" chris asked in a whisper as well. But Nayaka certainly heard their talk. Behind him, just as the elevator stopped out a few people.

Seeing that scene, Chris only realized that Alicia's words were true. "What's that?" ask Chris.

"Chris let's open this door. We've got to go. Otherwise we'll die!" alicia's cries became more. Especially now from the direction of the emergency stairs also appear creatures with the same shape. If Nayaka wasn't a part of them she would be scared just like her and Alicia are now.

Chris took the key out of his pants pocket. He hurriedly opened the door behind him. At that moment, one of the Kallas ran over and pulled Chris' head and slammed him on the floor. Alicia hysterical. Covering his ears with fear. Chris is brutally attacked by Kalla. He was torn apart, bitten until his blood spurted everywhere. Alicia ran away trying to save herself. At the same time, the door glass broke because of someone's throw. The trash can is scattered inside. On the outside were three men who had just arrived.

The car arrived at the sidewalk. Gio parked with origin. From a distance the building that became their destination looked boisterous. "Wow, crazy. We have to face a group of sucking creatures there," said Gio.

They rushed down from the car. Seeing the situation inside made the heart upset. "Suck!" vin's curse sees a woman being chased by a terrible creature inside. He grabbed a nearby trash can and threw it inside.

The sound of broken glass rang out loud along the way. The creature inside looked towards them.

They were ready with their own weapons. "Ready?" tanya Adi took out his flagship samurai.

"Of course! You don't see, my sword is shiny and very sharp?" sahut Gio showed off the shiny object in his hand.

Vin pulled out two daggers. Not only two, he even wears shoes that have a small knife underneath.

Kalla started walking closer to the three men. Forgetting the existence of Alicia who was no longer considered important.

War began.
