Chapter 21: You see what I’m talking about?
"Where do you think you're going?" Mark asked and Alice looked back at him.
"Boss, remember, you're a soldier at this point. So, you should be able to keep your emotions out of your eyes." She said. "I can tell you're worried but you honestly don't need to. I got a score to settle with that annoying voice in my head so I'll head into the dungeon and clean up a bit first."
That actually sounded a lot less dangerous in her head.
She massaged her shoulder.
"It's gonna take a while and I might get a scar or two. I might even die but if I don't, make sure to treat me to a great meal, just like you promised." She said with a carefree and bright smile.
"No, you're insane. You can't go in there alone. I'll organize a team right away. They'll raid the dungeon with you." He said but Alice shook her head.
"No, they'll just get in my way." She said. "I'd rather follow the voice in my head and do this alone."
Mark furrowed his eyebrows, worried and scared for her. What would happen if she died?
"You... You saw the kind of monsters that came out of that place. Who knows how many more of them are in there?" He said.
"Well, someone's gotta take care of them." She said, and took her hand out of his hold. "Besides, if we don't do anything and wait, they're going to come out and kill us all."
"I know you said dying is the worst thing that could happen but don't you want to eat?" He asked and her eyebrows furrowed.
