Kaminoniki 41 Chapter 35 - Malignan

"Okay Medusa, Let's continue. Shall we?" The boy kindly asks.

"Yea..." Medusa is still mad at the things happening in the story.

"Remeber, this is just a story I make up, don't let it get into you." The boy remains, "But understand the story nice and clear! Okay? Can you do that for me?"

"Okay..." Medusa is little confused about the last remainder the boy tells her.

"The second family don't want to give up their family member because if they accept it, then their whole family will get wiped out. The father feels a little annoyed, so he went outside to breathe in some fresh air to clear his mind. Keep in mind that the first family is still sticking around the house, they never left that place because in their mind that the patient will pay off their hope and now their chance is here. The second family's father went outside and saw the first family staying out angrily looking at the house. Sometimes all you need is some air, and the right idea will hit you in the head like a bat. The second family's father immediately comes up with a fantastic idea to handle the offer the creature offers him. He then rushes back into the house trying to call for the creature. The father summons, 'h.e.l.lo?'. Not too long after the father summons, a voice rings up the whole house, 'Are you ready for the offer?'. The father replies, 'I have a question about the offer.'. The sound answers, 'Yes?'. The father couldn't bear his excitement, 'Does the people you ask for have to be us...Or it could be anyone?'. The creature answers again without hesitation, 'Anyone.'. The father couldn't hold back his excitement and holds his fist and quietly said, 'Yes...Okay! I got what you need!'. This time the sound didn't reply then the whole house turns back into silence again. Then the father calms down his feeling and pretends to relax and walks outside to excuse his plan. When the father gets out of the house, and then immediately walks straight toward where the first family stays, 'Hey! You over there!'. The first family seems shocked to hear the man that they were hating on is calling them. The second family's father didn't hear the first family's reply, so he calls them again, 'Hey! Yea! You guys! I'm talking to you guys!'. This time the first family have enough time to react to the whole situation and then replies, 'What you want?'. The second father hears their reply and puts up a little smirk on his father then continue with his plan, 'Nothing! I see you guys over there suffering this coldness, so I figure that since we all from the same town, I don't want to see one of our town people outside and get hurt and possibly might die since the beast that is still cruising out here. I wanted to invite you guys into the house to warm up a little and get some food into the stomach. What do you think?'. " The boy seems like to ask Medusa questions a lot; he then turns his head around and asks,

"What do you think he is planning now?"

"I think the father will use these people to exchange for better food!" Medusa angrily answers, but her att.i.tude is s.h.i.+fting from a kind-hearted girl toward to an indifferent girl.

"You are good at this! Now, here comes the second question. Do you think the second family will pull this off?" The boy asks again.

"Uhm...I'm not too sure, but something tells me that they will!" Medusa bits her lips and speaks her opinion.

"Okay...Let's find out!" The boy then continues his story,

"The first family's first reaction to the second family's father's offer is shocked and excited because they will be no longer have to endure this bone-chilling cold anymore, but second thought to the suggestion is confused, why he would offer them a place to stay when they are the one who paid the horrible price. They smell something fishy is going on with the second family's suggestion; however, due to the current harsh situation, they will have to move in no matter what the pitfall there is waiting for them ahead. After a short period of packing up their stuff, they start to step into the house. The first family then suddenly asks, 'Do you mind if I ask you a personal question?'. The father of the second family is still in the mood, so he doesn't mind, 'Go ahead!'. 'How you guys get to stay in the house? Isn't monsters are guarding?', the first family's father asks. The second father shucked for a second, but still doesn't show any sign of pain, 'Yes, there are monsters; however, they gave us an offer in exchange for the authority of staying in the house.'. 'Do you mind if you can tell us what the offer is?', even though the first father precisely know what the offer is, but he still wants to confirm. 'Uhm...Sure, since you guys are coming with me, so I'm treating you all like my family. We have to give them one of our children to stay in the house.' The second father answers. The first father is shocked to hear that they've given up one of their children to live in the house; then continues, 'And you okay with that?'. The second father replies, 'Yes...I did what I have to do to keep the rest of my family alive in a situation like this.'. 'That's true, but you don't feel it's hard to give up your child?' the first father keeps on with his question because he doesn't understand the second father's mind when accepting the monsters' offer. 'I have two kids, and one of them is sick...So it's not that hard!' the second father explains. 'But he is still your kid!' the first father exclaimed. 'He is sick! It's just a burden! I did what is the best for my family!' the second father is a little triggered by all the questions that the first father is asking, 'Are you going to keep asking me these nonsense question or are we going to go in the house quietly and happily?'. 'I'm sorry, I'll keep my mouth shut!' the second father frightened replies." the boy stops and looks over toward Medusa; because he knows that she will have something to say. Knowing that the second father did not have any regrets over giving up his child for a place to stay and saying his child is a burden to his family.

"What the h.e.l.l!" Medusa screams,

"How can he think it is okay to give up his kid because he is sick! He is the kid's father; he is supposed to take care of him! Not give up on him!"

"Medusa...You know the human is selfish. They will give up anything for survival and desire; like what he will do next to the first family.
