Capítulo 22: Questions

Chirp Chirp

*Yawn*

I woke up to the birds chirping. I wasn't annoyed by it. I'm glad this is the first sound I heard in the morning.

Every day I would either get woken up to either the obnoxious voice of my "parents" or the little girl who always jumped on my stomach whenever I was asleep.

What was her name again?

Eh, who cares.

You know I actually should thank her a bit. Her jumping on me almost every day when I'm still asleep gave me some sort of instinct to know when someone was close to me or not.

There was even this one time when I grabbed the little one's throat and almost snapped it. Ha, that was one precious memory that will always be in my heart.

Brother and sister bonding if you will.

Of course, due to my circumstances, I couldn't snap her throat right then and there while I was still inside the Tribe. If we were outside of it then sure but that sort of event is unlikely unless her stupid little mind thought it would be nice to wander off on her own.

But hey, at least she didn't visit me for a few week which was nice.

I should do it more often.

Doing so though might fucked with me considering there are 2 individuals that also live in this household that might see me.

Not a risk I'm willing to take.

I find it odd though why the parents keep sending her to wake me up despite seeing me in a negative light. Are they retarded or something?

"Gogkuak, wake up already you trash!"

And right on cue, the man clown yelled my name. Man what a weird ass name.

"*sigh* I guess it's time to get slapped." I whispered while signing, walking towards the kitchen.

****

I sit on a boulder by my favorite spot, the lake eating an animal carcass raw while thinking of some stuff.

As you can guess, I was slapped in the face despite being up early, kids threw rocks at me, and people were punching me.

So you know, the same old same old nonsense. I was used to it really and didn't care too much. Being here relies on patience is key to achieving your goal and that's what I'm doing. Be patient with them until the time is right.

I still wonder though, how come everyone in this tribe hated me so much. I'm the curious type after all and this question lives rent-free inside my mind.

I did have a few theories into why but I can't confirm until proven otherwise. So for now, I should ignore this question as I have another one that is much more important.

Who or what was that person? It didn't seem like a living being but at the same time, it was. Better yet, where did I go when I was unconscious? I don't believe it was my subconscious, if it was I would have more control over it. Or maybe it was?

I also have various thoughts about where I am if I'm in marvel or not.

'Sure I may have seen a logo and ship that look familiar to the ravagers' attire in marvel but that could be a coincidence and I could very well still be in my reality.'

My brain racks and thinks about all the possible theories of what I am and who I am.

…

"Argh! This is so fucking confusing, who was that man in my subconscious whom I fought, and who was that other man who killed that walking corpse that had the intelligence to think and talk!" I yelled in frustration

'Too many questions left unsolved. I know I said to be patient but last night's encounter made me less patient compared to before.

Squish!

I looked at my hand and saw smushed meat. Realizing this, I tried meditation to calm myself which eventually worked.

"*sigh* calm yourself you fool. Being frustrated and questioning stuff you don't have the means to solve right now won't do you any good. I have been doing good so there is no need to go haywire and get yourself killed" I told myself

Yes, I should calm myself. Being rash and chaotic won't get me anywhere besides losing all rationality about what I'm doing.

"I may have been a chaotic individual in the beginning due to my hunger, but now I can keep that at a minimum level, hopefully."

Hunger, my one main enemy that I can't let control me, doing so will probably lead me in charging into a tribe only to get killed a few minutes later due to lack of strength.

'Besides, all my questions on who that mysterious man is, I appreciate him bringing "my" body back to the tribe, it made it easier for me.' I thought, thanking him for not leaving it in the middle of the forest.

"Speaking of this body,the sensation that I'm feeling, I feel as if this body has gotten lighter than before, how come?"

'Ah! Now that I think of it, I did or more precisely he did consume all of those individuals to the very bone.' I thought while clenching my fist

Lucky him, I wish I was in control so I could've eaten and tasted their flesh. Just thinking about it makes my mouth drool.

"*Sigh* I should test out this newfound strength right now while it's daytime"

****

Meanwhile, a certain Tribe has gone out of control over the disappearance of a team that has yet to come back.

"What's the situation looking like outside?" An old lady asked someone to their right.

"It's not looking, good ma'am. Everyone outside is demanding an answer on where their loved ones went and why they haven't come back yet" The blonde said with a worrisome expression.

"I see," She answered with a bit of worry in her voice.

"Such a situation I put myself in. If I knew this would happen then I wouldn't have sent them."

Her expression is filled with sadness and grief, no words can describe how deeply she blamed herself

Seeing her experience, someone spoke up "It's alright Elder, it wasn't just you who decided to send them, it was all of us and besides, they might still be alive."

False hope. A mechanism every intelligent species would put up to ease the mind of others despite knowing the outcome. Truly a stupid mechanism.

"They might but that's only a small percentage of being the case. I appreciate the cheering up though."

"It's no problem Miss" the person who spoke up earlier bowed a little.

"I shouldn't dwell on sulking any longer, we should truly see if they are truly alive. Put on a small search party if they are truly alive or not." She commanded, her mood turning 180

"In any case, we should put up more defenses on the exterior of the tribe. Right now our Tribe is weak due to the number of hunters we currently have."

"Yes Elder, I would put in an order to help put up more defenses. Any in case, what should we tell the people outside about the current situation."

"I will tell them myself. They will need to know the truth of the situation. So let's get this over with." She said while she got up in which everyone made their move.

"*Sigh* Let's just hope they won't yell".
