The media from different networks were already outside of the station, waiting for the police to give them at least a glimpse of the girl. At this time, after they waited for hours, they finally saw some changes. A few police officers stepped out and stood as a protector of a young figure covered in a coat walking behind of the police captain. Instantly, the media knew that this must be the girl that murdered a man.
Camera flashed repeatedly and the people started to get wild. They tried to pass the police and remove the coat just to get a proper glimpse of her. Of course, the police already knew that this would happen and immediately tried their best to stop these people.
As the small figure covered in huge coat walked behind the captain, she clearly heard the people asking questions while pointing their mics to her direction and to the police in front of her. To be honest, she felt troubled and scared by the enthusiastic approach of these people. Even though most of her face were covered, her eyes could clearly see the greed in these people. Probably, in their perspective, it didn't really matter what her circumstances in her life was, or what kind of challenges she was facing-- For them, she was just someone that they use for profit.
This realization made her heart a little bit cold.
When the police captain and Jenny arrived in front of the police car, the reporters stood to block them. They pointed their mics in the face of police captain and made him forcefully answer their questions. At first the police captain answered them with a simple 'no comment', but after realizing that they wouldn't leave, he gave them some informations.
"-- A syndicate was trying to kidnap her, and she just fought back." he said. "As for the reasons why, we honestly don’t know. Everything is still under investigations. Thank you."
By the time he finished speaking, he used a little bit force to make way. He slightly pushed those reporters and opened the door. He let Jenny entered the police car, followed inside, and silently closed the door. He then signaled the other police to make way for the car to advance.
After just a few minutes, the media were already out of the road.
The police captain started the car and drove away.
-------
A few hours already passed and it was already afternoon. But still, Jenny has no idea on where she was being taken. And since the police captain was silent the whole time, she didn't bother asking. In her mind, even though she didn't like the police captain that much, she was sure that he wouldn't do anything that would put her in danger. After all, he was still a police officer, and police serves justice. That was commonsense.
Time passed and the road they were taking became weird.
The buildings were already gone and the houses beside the road became sparse. The road was still okay, but most of the surroundings were just trees and grasses. From her point of view, this place looked like it was rarely visited by anyone at all.
As they traverse the road, huge mansions started appearing. These mansions were separated to each other, making the neighborhood quiet and secretive. Looking at these mansions, Jenny couldn't help but sigh a little. After all, even though their house was huge, it was not huge enough to compare to these mansions.
When the police car stopped, the police captain spoke for the first time and told her to stay inside. Then, he walked towards the huge door of a mansion and notified the people inside.
Jenny already felt something wasn't right, but still she tried to be positive and erased her doubts from her mind. She remembered that some of the police were talking about something like psychological therapy. Maybe this was where she would be tested?
Slowly, the door opened and a man with a rifle came out. He looked at the police with cautious glare and they started talking to each other. A few times, while they were conversing, the two would occasionally look at her direction like she was being mentioned.
The car was a little far away from the door of the mansion, and because she was inside of a police car, she could not hear what they were saying. She could only guess that something was definitely wrong.
After a while, the police captain walked back to the police car and told her to follow him. At this point, Jenny already have thoughts of running away, but the police captain has a gun, a car, and more physically fit than her. That was why, after thinking it through, she finally concluded that she really had no choice. Hence, she obediently got out and walked towards the huge door gate of the mansion.
Arriving there, the man with a rifle looked at her up and down and smiled silently. He then said something to the police captain and the police captain left like nothing happened.
Seeing this, Jenny felt terrible and tried to stop him.
"Where you going?" she asked while grabbing the corner of his uniform.
The police captain looked at her for a couple seconds and sighed.
"I'm sorry.." he said with an indifferent tone. "Don't worry, things might not become that bad as long you as behave properly."
Jenny tried to question the police captain, but before she could do that, her hands already slipped away and the police captain already walked away. Feeling scared, she tried to run and follow him. However, after a few steps, the man behind her grabbed her arm and easily stopped her. With a ragged breath, she could only looked at the police car that was slowly going away.
She could feel her eyes getting steamy and her tears started falling. Even though she said she wouldn't cry, she still couldn't stop herself. After all the things she experienced, after all the things she'd done-- in the end she still ended up in the hands of these people.
Jenny isn't stupid. She already knew that these people were the ones who kept making her life miserable. And the mansion behind her-- belonged to that same group of people.
Calming her breath, she immediately wiped away her tears and tried to fight back.
She positioned herself in front of the man and with all her strength, she kicked him in the balls! The man hissed and folded his body. Using this opportunity, Jenny grabbed the rifle and tried to take it away. But then, she immediately realized that it was strapped to that man's shoulder.
By the time she realized it, the man already slapped her face--!
The hit was so hard that Jenny felt dizzy. And as she was trying to stand up, the man grabbed her arm and pulled her closer. He glared and growled at her face filled with hate.
"--you lil bitch.."
Pulling her forcefully, the man stood properly and walked inside of the mansion.
As she was being dragged away, she noticed a knife strapped on the man's leg. Since she was desperate, the only thing she was thinking was to do everything she could to ran away. So, without hesitation, she pulled the knife fast and forcefully stabbed him in the waist! And before the man could react, she already pulled it out and gripped it hard.
When Jenny was planning on stabbing him again, the man pushed her away. And as she lost her balance, the man walked in front of her and kicked her in the chest! Her body was slammed to the ground before rolling a few times.
Feeling herself out of breath, she gasped a few times for air while also trying to stand up. The knife was still in her hands and her eyes still continued to glare at that man. The wounds she got earlier this day opened and blood started to cover her face.
She was already tired. Her eyes were already blurry and her knees kept shaking. Still, she stood up using her unshakable will.
Unfortunately, will alone wouldnt heal all of her wounds and make her feel better. In the end, her body gave up and fell down. And slowly, so slowly, her consciousness blacked out.
-------
Her head felt heavy and kinda blurry. She felt like she was having a weird dream where nothing really made sense. She felt like she was awake, but also not. The feeling was weird, and to be honest, she felt like vomiting a few times. So in the end, she didnt force herself and quietly let herself enter the world of darkness.
When Jenny woke up the second time, she noticed that the whole place was dark and slightly creepy. She was surrounded by trees, some bushes, and below, were grasses that looks like it was rarely taken care of.
In front of her was an unknown man that looked like he has problem with life. He had lots of piercing on his ears, one in his eyebrows, in his nose, and his lower lips. He looked like someone who would slit his wrist just because his sandwich fell down to the ground.
While Jenny's mind was slowly waking up and analyzing everything, the man in front of her noticed her movements. Slowly, he helped Jenny sit up before looking at her straight.
"Can you understand me now?" the man asked gently. "Do you remember what I said earlier?"
After a few seconds, Jenny's mind finally woke up and remembered all the things that happened to her earlier. She was taken by the police captain and was bought to a mansion in a middle of nowhere, was abandoned, stabbed a man with a rifle, her injuries worsened and reopened again, then she was beaten up and lost consciousness.
Now, seeing an unknown man in front of her, her instincts immediately kicked in and tried to run. However, her body wouldn’t move and everytime she tried to exert an effort, she would feel pain all over her body like she was being broken to pieces.
Noticing Jenny's actions, the man sighed and took out three bottles from a small bag.
"Calm down, and listen to me." he said. "I already said that I would help you escape. So just calm down. Don’t worry, Im not interested with little girls..”

As the man said that, he unconsciously touched his piercings and scanned Jenny curiously. “Well, you have tits.. that’s nice, but that’s not really enough for me. For you see, I am a firm of believer of anything MILF and will only be attracted to everything that has something to do with hot mommies!”
Jenny remained silent.
She really wanted to run right now, and probably just leave everything and pretend that she didn’t hear anything at all. Probably even pretend that she had never met anyone with a mental problems worst than her who kept spouting bullshit, but well—she really didn’t have a strength at this point.
Seeing the lack of response from the young girl, the man with a face full of piercing sighed and muttered that kids these days wouldn’t understand men like him. Men who were chosen by culture itself.
Shaking his head, the man lifted three bottles with different colors. Red--c*ca cola--, blue-- p*psi--, and yellow-- c*bra energy drink--. These three bottles had the same greenish liquid inside.
“--you probably forgot, or was not listening the first time…” the man sat down and finally looked at Jenny seriously. “.. You better listen carefully this time, you hear me?”
Even though the liquid on these bottles looked the same, the man in front of her repeatedly explained that they had different purposes.
The liquid in c*ca-cola can heal wounds and injuries just by a sip.
The liquid on p*psi can energized the body when tired.
And the liquid on the third bottle, the yellow one, can remove hunger and thirst just by one sip a day.
The effects sounds unbelievable that Jenny’s young mind started buffering. At the corner of her mind, she just thought that she was being scammed. But why would he scam her? She has nothing.
"You dont believe me, right?" the man asked while raising an eyebrow. "Then lets test it on you."
The man opened the c*ca-cola and made her sip a little. This time, she didnt fight back and silently took a sip. After all she experienced these past few days, she felt tired. And to be honest, with a body like this, she didnt have any hope to live. If she died like this, she wouldnt be mad. At least she could finally meet her parents again.
After few sip, Jenny felt her body heating up and becoming slightly itchy. The feeling was uncomfortable and slightly weird. She could feel her broken bones, shifting and arranging itself and connecting to where it belonged. The changes in her body was apparent as she could see some of the scratches in her arms slowly healing itself miraculously.
A few minutes later, her whole body stopped aching completely.
For the first time in a while, Jenny felt like she was the healthiest girl alive!
As she marveled at the effect of the liquid in c*ca-cola, the man already opened another bottle, the p*psi, and made her sip a few times. This time, she didnt feel anything weird, except of her body slowly regaining its energy. A while later, she could already move them and even felt like she could run for an entire day without getting tired.
While she was inspecting her body, her tummy growled.
The man then opened the yellow bottle, the c*bra energy drink, then made her sip a little. Instantly, her hunger and thirst disappeared. She even felt so full, like she ate an entire cow.
"Amazing, right?" the man grinned.
Right now, if she wanted to, she could probably run and get away from this guy. But since he helped her, she decided to stay and listen to him for a bit. If he did something not good, she'll run.
The man put the three bottles in a small bag. Then, with a wave of a hand, he tossed it to Jenny and smiled slightly.
"Just think of those as HP, MP, and Energy potion." he smiled even more. "With those you could survive for at least two weeks to a month. As long as you use it sparingly you wont have a problem arriving in the next town or city."
As the man was talking, noises and screaming people suddenly appeared behind him.
Jenny didnt notice it at first because she was focused on the bottles, but, a few meters behind the man was a wall. And inside of the wall was a huge house, a mansion. Seeing the familiar mansion, Jenny felt scared. Behind that wall, she could hear people screaming and panicking.
"Fck, Chris took the girl!" an angry voice shouted. "Hurry! Find him for me! Make sure to bring those two here fast!"
Even though everyone inside were panicking, the man in front of Jenny, Chris, didnt seem to give a single shit. He just grinned and pointed behind Jenny, towards the dark forest.
"If you run there, a few kilometers away from here, you 'd be out of here." he said calmly. "You can also just follow the road in that direction, and soon you'll arrive to the closest town. By there, just ride a bus, a jeepney, or, whatever you want and just go away from here. By that time, they wont be able to find you."
Hearing that, Jenny wanted to say something, but before she could even speak, Chris already smiled and added-. "Dont worry, I already put some money on the bag. Just make sure you dont lose it."
Before Jenny could say anything, Chris already turned around and jumped towards a tree. Then from the branch of the tree, he jumped high enough to cross the wall and silently fell to other side.
Alone, Jenny felt weird as she didnt know what was going on. After a while, she bit her lips and decided to run. Following the direction Chris said, she arrived towards the nearest town a few hours later.
-------
Jenny didnt know what time it was, but she was sure it was at least passed midnight. By the time she saw a town, the entire place was already quiet like a ghost town. Actually, it might really be a ghost town. Although the town looked like it was operating properly, there was not a single human around.
Of course, it might also because it was already late at night. However, was it normal for cars to stay in the middle of the road unmoving with lights and machines on, but no drivers inside? When Jenny passed by some houses, she saw that there were some lights on it, but there was no one inside. There was even a house with a door left open, but no one was giving a damn.
The current scenery was honestly too much for her.
As she continued walking around while watching everything vigilantly--- Jenny saw a convenience store. There were still lights on it and looked like it was still operating at this time. However, she wasnt looking at the store. Instead, she was looking at the man standing in front its door.
It was a man in his twenties, handsome with eyes that could charm a lot of women. He was standing there like he was expecting her to arrive here.
Unconsciously, Jenny started walking in that direction. Although she was slightly confused on why she was doing that, her instincts were telling her that it was fine.
In truth, Jenny felt a little close to him.
The sense of familiarity, gentleness, and the warm eyes that looked at her like she was the most precious girl in the world. All of this were familiar, yet alien for her. This was buffling phenomena, and Jenny couldnt fight it even if she wanted to.
Standing in front of the man, she finally figured out why.
"Youre here." the man smiled and moved closer to her.
As the man moved closer, Jenny watched him silently.
The thought of running away never crossed her mind, she just stood there waiting for him. It was weird, but she instinctively knew that nothing bad would happen. Although she knew that she should be guarded more after everything she experienced these past few days, she really couldnt get a stength to get away from the man. No, she even wanted for him to come closer quickly.
When he arrived in front of her, the man immediately hugged her. He was gentle like he was afraid that she would break, yet also tight like he didnt want to let her go. Just feeling his warmth immediately made her feel calm and comfortable.
"I'm sorry.." he whispered softly in her ears. "Although I knew those things would happen, I still couldnt do anything. All I did was set up plans and make sure nothing even worse would happen to you."
As his voice softly touched her ears, she could feel the love that was coming from the bottom of his heart. His genuine concern was hot and burning like lava--warming her cold heart.
Remembering her parents dying, learning that they were killed, and the feeling of despair as she realized she couldnt do anything. The fear of being kidnapped, the realization that her surrounding and her view in life was becoming more and more dark. These past few days, she experienced many things that changed her mentality about everything. She could even feel her heart becoming more and more cold.
That was specially true when the police captain left her alone in that mansion. The one who was supposed to be protecting her from harm, was actually the one who delivered her to hell. At that time, she felt betrayed and her heart slowly turned even more colder.
However, in front of this man--- she felt like she met the sun that finally gave some light in her darkening world, and warming her freezing heart.
"Dont worry, those things wont ever happen to you again." he said slowly as his embrace became tighter. "I promise."
Hearing that, all the bottled up emotions inside her started to burst out. Her sadness, hate, frustration, and her feeling of helplessness she had hidden deep within her heart finally exploded and flowed like broken dam. Her tears flooded her face and her sobs became more and more louder.
While she was letting it all out, the man just hugged her silently and would pat her back gently. After an unknown amount of time, Jenny finally felt tired. By the time she stopped, she was already sleeping soundly.
The man—Mendoza—looked at sleeping Jenny with a loving smile, before speaking in a soft and calm voice. “… I knew you suffered a lot during this time, but I didn’t think it would be this bad.”
AS if responding to his voice, the door of the convenience store opened and a young woman appeared. She was wearing a beautiful robe that hugged her seductive figure, while also maintaining a formal and conservative feel to it.
Mendoza has long been familiar with this beautiful young lady, specially since they had been together for thousands of years. She was the one who guarded the place where he was sealed for ten thousand years, the only person who helped him wage war against the three universes, and the only person who stayed with him in his lowest--- Una Ika Alpha.
Mendoza was quite aware that she had been watching since the beginning, so he wasn’t really that surprised that she was here. The only thing that in his mind right now was— “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Una Ika Alpha glanced at the young girl in his arms and answered casually. “… Because I didn’t want you to worry.”
In just a few days, Jenny experienced a lot of things that shouldn’t even be seen by any kids of her age. And yet, she was not only forced to live through it, she was put in a lot of situations where her life and dignity was almost claimed and ruined just for fun!
Mendoza couldn’t help but look at Una Ika Alpha, not really knowing what to say next.
To be fair, none of it was his fault. The death of her parents, the kidnapping, and all the nightmarish things that happened to Jenny—Mendoza had nothing to do with all those shits. Still, even if that was the case, he still felt guilty that he couldn’t do much more for her.
While Mendoza was beginning to succumb to his thoughts, a young and very familiar voice resounded in his arms. “—And that’s why I didn’t tell you..”
Not just Mendoza, even Una Ika Alpha, who was standing beside him was shocked to see the young girl who was just bawling earlier to the point of collapsing, now smiling at the two of them.
Immediately, Una Ika Alpha positioned herself and took out her weapon and pointed it to the young girl in Mendoza’s arm. However, before she could do that, her movements stopped and her expression changed. “Sigh—I don’t even know what to say…”
Mendoza watched everything in silence.
Not because he didn’t want to help or that he wanted to see something amusing, but because he felt something that caused him to be unable to move. This was something that he only felt a few times in his life, something that only a few dozen people in this universe had ---- a supreme divinity that could cause the multiverse tremble in their presence.
Once again, the young girl in his arms pressed her soft body in his chest and tightened her hug. Then, she looked at him with a seductive longing in her eyes. “Do you know how much I have been missing you right now?”
The young woman, “Una Ika Alpha”, walked to Mendoza and position herself in his back. Then proceeded to hug him as well. “—Ever since you disappeared a few hundred years ago, I been having withdrawal symptoms, you know?”
At this time, the young girl in Mendoza’s arm started sniffing him like his fragrance was the most addictive substance in the entire multiverse.
This honestly confused Mendoza, not just HER behavior, but also to the things that was coming out of her mouth. This made him try to exert more power to fight back the suppression and ask some questions. A lot of it.
His action seemed to be noticed by the entity as the young woman behind him suddenly showed a teasing smile. “Oops, that’s a spoiler.”
After a while, Mendoza—with all of his power--- managed to finally open his mouth and speak a few words. “… Who--- who are you?”
Mendoza had some suspicions, but most of them didn’t really make sense. And if his suspicions were actually correct, that would mean that whatever happening would make his theory even more complicated. After all, how would all of these even make sense?
Hearing that, both the young girl and the young woman behind him all stopped and begun to looked at him with an amused smile on their faces.
“Well, I have many names…” the young girl excitedly giggled.
Some of them were given to her by those who wanted to smear her reputations, the enemies who had grudges against her. While some of them were given to her by those people who worships and praise her very existence.
These people, immortals, demi-gods, and god kings across all realms naturaly have different names and titles they used whenever she was being included in a conversation. However, whoever or whatever they were, she would only recognize the names given to her by her loved ones.
The young woman behind Mendoza smiled. “—For example, Una Ika Alpha.”
“Or, you can just use my real name like you used to.” The young girl in his arms showed a loving yet nostalgic look in her eyes.
“You can just call me--- Jenny.”
