Ahhhhh, Monster!: Book One

“Just… what do you think you’re doing?! You know if you leave-”“I won’t be allowed back in. Yup. I know that. I don’t care.” Izumi shrugged. “I’m out of here, Ryu. And you can’t change my mind.”“You’ll die out there!” Ryu gestured wildly out of the Fortress. “Zombies, ghouls, vampires, werewolves?! Not to mention all the humans out there that are just as bad. Izumi, get down from there.”“They’re going to cut me out of the family, Ryu. Once they take this key,” Izumi held up the chain on her neck and shook the key about, “They’ll never give it back. You know that. I’m not going to be a part of this system anymore. Not ever again. If you’re that concerned about my safety, then fine, come with me. But I’ll be just freaking FINE on my own! I’m not a child anymore. I’m leaving. I’m not coming back, even if they would let me in I won’t be back. Goodbye, Ryu. I love you, and I love our brothers… but this is something I’m doing for me.”Izumi crouched, ignoring Ryu’s pleas for her to get down. And then, throwing caution to the wind, Izumi leaped.Izumi has lived her whole life in the Fortress, a safe haven for humanity in a world filled with monsters. No stranger ever enters the Fortress and no one should ever want to leave... but when Izumi's birthright is threatened by her grandfather, she leaves the only place she's ever known. With only her overly cautious brother by her side in this unknown, dangerous outside, Izumi has to find a new purpose in life. Perhaps some of those 'dangerous' strangers outside can help her find her way... as long as she avoids being eaten by the zombies and ghouls, of course.
