THREE

                      Beast World

As we eat our dinner, Xi started asking me if I can go with her in a cosplay events two days from now.

I look at her with a threatening eyes, because she knows I don't do cosplay.

" Please, you will be bored if you stay here ok, so just come with me and you can enjoy the events too "  she pout her lips like a duck.

" Fine, be thankful your my friend or I'll murder you in my head  " I said and finish my food. As we cleaning our things she ask me about my plan.

" So what's your plan now? Your almost at 30 " Xi ask me.

" I don't know, if I was given a second chance to have a partner... A right partner then why not accept it right?  " I shrug

" And I don't have plans, for now maybe I focus on my career more than my personal life. " As I wipe my hands I look at her.

"  I was not desperate to be married anyway it's a good things I discovered it earlier than be a big joke to the social medias. " I laugh lightly.

"  The title of the news will be,  ' The model and blogger Lynn was cheated by her husband and best friend '  that would be embarrassing  " I look at her, forcing my lips to smile.

"  Look, I know it's hurt you badly but look at the good side. At least you were not married before you learn the truth no obligation, no divorce " she hug me while comforting me.

" You know what, I was really not hurt... I was just... Disappointed... 9 years and a 29 years of being boyfriend and best friend... They just throw it for flesh calling... I will not get angry if it's unknown girl... But no, it her... A girl who I known since we were a baby... A girl I trust with every little secrets I have...  " I can't stop my self from crying.

I was heartbroken by this betrayal but relief by the burden slipping away from me.  Eric was never a husband material, he was a boyfriend material. He was not ready to settle down, and I know that. Call me hypocrite but I can't find anything that will be a valid reason to brake up with him.

And caught them up that time was like a blessing in disguise.  I was relief but also guilty... How could I forgot the live? Because I was shock to what I see.

How I forgot about it going viral? Because my mind is in chaos and I want to run away from that trouble, and I did.

I look at the window, the city lights was beautiful and kind of peaceful too.

My life here become a blurred in second.

Two days later.

"  Lynn what kind of cosplay you want to do?  Let's see your hair color is silver who's character is perfect for you, hmm "  she was thinking of what kind of cosplay I want but really...

" Arg, I don't want to cosplay anyone I'll put a purple contact lenses and that's all " I said in frustration.

" Ok fine " she comply while pouting.

  " Here, where this seductive nun clothes at least you look like cosplaying with this.  " she gave me a fitted nun clothes with both legs are slit.

"  I didn't know nun were this kind of clothing " I ask with raise eyebrow.

" Ohh I read it in some of manga their nun clothes was like that. " she shrug and continue her make up.

Although I like seeing those cosplayers but I didn't want to be one of them.. I feel like their clothes are having for my liking.

And the contact lenses she gave me was a purple with a little stars design so when I put it. It kind of amazing, it's perfectly fitted on my over all look.

After a long wait she was done with her outfit.

" It's look amazing " I praise her  "  who's character is that ?  " I ask it's look like an empress.

"  Ohh it's from mobile legends,empress Wu, Zetian, hehe  " she answered me while giggling.

"  Well, it beautiful... Perfect for you...  " I said, I was not joking she really look like an empress now.

" Let's go I'm excited, hehe. " she was laughing and smiling while we go down to the parking lot.

45 minutes that's how long the ride was before we arrive at the venue. A lot of cosplayers was here already, a lot of different characters. Some are same some are different I don't know a lot about anime or any characters other cosplay.

But it's a beautiful site to see.

As I look around I saw something that look so suspicious. I was about to tell Xi but she was not with me, I look for her and I saw her talking to someone I think is her friends.

"  Xi, how can you just left me " I said as soon as I came near her.

"  Ohh sorry sorry, I was so excited to meet them... Oh btw, guys this is Lynn my friend from France and Lynn this is my friends  " she introduced me with them I smiled and greet them with a nod.

"  Xi, I saw someone who look suspicious or it just a cosplay  " I whisper to her.

" Ohh come on Lynn it's an open event, some cosplay look like suspicious criminal but it's just a cosplay all they used was a plastic no real weapon.  " she shrug my suspicion as a mere paranoid.

Maybe I was paranoid, with that in mind I enjoy and join their talk. I could speak Chinese well enough because of Xi who teach me.

I don't know if I was just really paranoid but I feel like something will happen badly. As I look back, I saw that suspicious man now running in our way with a knife. My mind blank in second and before I understand what's happening my body moves to shield Xi from the danger that I forgot I'm not some superhuman.

I feel the knife in my flesh as it stab deep in my stomach. I don't know what happened, the background silent but I saw their mouth open and close.

I saw Xi, tapping at her phone frantically. And the man was pin down by others cosplayers.

" Please, Lynn don't close you eyes ok... The ambulance is coming... Wait for them ok...  " she was crying. I wipe her tears,  " you look so ugly when you cry like this, cough. " I said and cough some blood.

" Xi, I don't think I can survive this... So please tell mom and dad... I was sorry... They won't be able to see me walk in the aisle... "  I was coughing so much blood but I can't stop. I know my body well, and it won't make it.

"  I didn't know, badluck stay a long with me, cough, first broken engagement... And now this... Are god don't want me to be happy, cough... You know cough, even when I said I don't need a weeding... Cough, I still want to get married... " It's difficult to talk with so much blood coming out of my mouth.

" No.. please stop talking... You'll die at this rate... Your wasting to much energy... Please don't die on me... I can't accept that... Please Lynn... I love you... I have been in love with you.... Don't leave me... Please... " Xi was crying so hard that she confess in a wrong time.

" Your funny... But I'm sorry... I... Can't... My grandma... Was calling... Me... " I lost consciousness.

...

...

It's dark...

Hard...

Smell of soil...

Huh? Soil?

With that, I open my eyes just to see a new place. A lush of grass and big trees in forest. As I look around I saw someone laying 1 meters away from me, another girl... Wait that face... That outfit... Bai Qingqing...

Beast world....

As soon I registered what's happening I look at the area to look for something to cover my self.

I saw a nest and climb a tree to see if there's an egg and luckily it had 3 eggs. I take it and climb down, crack the egg to the dirt and smear it on my face, my hands and feet.. any place that my skin are visible is now cover in mud.
