I walked through the forest, lost in my thoughts. 'A creature I can't see is even stronger than . No wonder that guy warned about the north. I will go there anyway. Maybe that was just so kind of freak creature, just like the Black Mammoth I encountered with Shelly' I thought. I lifted my head up and looked at the clouds drifting through the sky. 'Eh, if only Shelly was here with ' I thought and then lowered my head to look in front of .
"Impossible!"
I exclaid. "This is not real, is it?" I said out loud again. What I saw standing in front of , was… Shelly. "Shelly?...How?" I blurted out. I had no other words but questions only. How was that possible? Was it really Shelly? How did it survive? And many more questions ran through my head.
I ran towards Shelly while screaming "It's good that you are back!" but instead, Shelly run in opposite direction and I lost the sight of it between the trees. When I finally arrived at the place where I lost the sight of Shelly, it was no longer there. "What the hell is going on? Shelly?... SHELLY!" no response whatsoever.
'I must be hallucinating. Shelly is dead, how could it appear here?' I thought as I started to move again. Not long after, I heard sothing move behind . I turned around and called "Shelly?" but it wasn't Shelly… it was Nick this ti. "How? What is going on here!?". I was confused. Was I hallucinating? Was my mind playing tricks on ? or was this real? I could no longer distinguish that. Nick looked like the usual him. The sa clothes, the sa expression on his face and the sa posture.
I said "Nick? Is that really you? You've died a long ti ago. How co you are here?" but Nick didn't say anything and ran towards so trees. I tried to catch up to him but I again lost sight of Nick this ti. "Sothing is wrong here. Shelly and Nick are dead. I saw them die, how could both of them be here. This isn't real".
I looked around and found nothing. I cald myself a bit and turned around towards north. As I took couple of steps, a rustling sound ca from behind again. I turned around and shouted "What are you!? What do you want?" but what I saw shocked again. "Dina? I killed you myself, you can't be here. This is fake! I'm not going to fall for it!" I said and convinced myself that what I saw in front of was not real. It was all fake.
Then I heard a voice "Yes, they are all fake. You wanted to see what I look like, but I don't really have a form". It wasn't the voice of Dina, it was the voice of the damned creature that stalked for days on end. I lost my calmness completely. What replaced it was boundless rage.
"BOOOM!"
The ground shattered underneath as I launched at the creature standing in front of . I extended my fist and punched. "BOOOM!" I didn't manage to hit the creature but the place it stood on. "You will die for that" I said while my instincts took over and sped towards a new location.
"BOOOM!.... BOOOM!.... BOOOM!"
I could sohow find the creature using my instincts as if I had a compass built inside my mind that pointed my in the general direction of the creature. The rage inside bursted and a new aura was born inside of . The air seed to freeze. The world started to change and I caw everything in red. I then felt unimaginable thirst for blood. "You will die for doing that" I said. My voice full of malice and thirst, thrist to see death and destruction.
A few arrows flew towards but I didn't care about them. In my mind, I only had one thought "Kill". The arrows penetrated my body and although I stumbled back a bit from the impact, I felt no pain. I again rushed towards the creature that shot those arrows at my full speed.
"Booom!.... Booom!"
"Co out and die!" "BOOOOM!". The longer the fight lasted, the more arrows were embedded in my body. With so many arrows in my body, I lost a lot of strength, speed and blood. Soon after, I finally collapsed and the world of red started to fade. What replaced it was the usual world, full of colours.
I then heard a voice "Are you really a human?" and then, I fainted. When I woke up, I first noticed that I was alive. The other thing? Pain, loads of pain. Not only pain, hunger as well. When i finally gained focus in my eyes, I noticed a woman standing over . She said "You finally woke up".
I imdiately know who it was. "It's you! Why don't you just kill ? Why do you want to torture like this?" I said weakly. She responded "Calm down, no one is going to kill you or torture you". I looked her straight in the eyes and asked "Then what do you want from ? I have nothing to give you. I have nothing precious besides my life. So what do you want?".
She looked up and then back down at saying "Nothing, I was just interested. You seed different from others so I watched you. I didn't an for you to suffer like this". She then extended her hand and tried to give sothing. I had no strength and I was hungry as well so I took it. If she wanted to kill , she would've already. With so many chances on her plate, she probably didn't want to kill .
When I ate that sothing she gave , I started to feel a bit better. The pain started to subdue but I still felt imnse hunger. I thought I ask so things now. "Is that how you really look like?" to which she smiled and said "Do you like it?". I didn't know what to say to that. She looked like a human but there were so differences. Her black hair seed to be wet with sothing, it looked like so kind of liquid was constantly oozing out of her hair. Her skin was white, to the point I could see her veins as if it was transparent, the veins didn't look like those in human beings. They had different formation and directions. Her clothes were weird as well. It looked like her clothes were her skin. Her eyes were black, pitch black with no other colour in her pupil.
I said "I don't know, you look like human but not human at the sa ti". She didn't seem to like that answer and said "Of course I don't look like human, I'm not a human". She then added "What did you see? When you looked at back in the forest?". I was confused 'Back in the forest?' I thought and looked around. It wasn't the forest anymore, we were in so kind of cave.
I said "My friends. People of the past. They are dead now". She looked at and asked again "You didn't see anyone alive when you looked at then?" I said "No, only those who died, why?". She just brushed it off by saying "Nothing, I was just curious" and then continued saying "I'm sorry, it must've caused you a lot of pain. I didn't an that".
I sighted but said nothing. I was already calm and besides, I was too hungry to care about that now so i asked "Do you have anything to eat?". She seed to realise sothing and said "Right, you do eat a lot!" and gave one more small thing.
I thought 'This is not going to satisfy my hunger' but I was wrong. When I ate it. I started to feel less hungry and after a while, I was not hungry anymore. I exclaid "What is that thing you gave ? It's amazing, I don't feel hunger at all!" but she just smiled and said "Rest, we will talk when you wake up".
'I don't have to rest, I feel much better now' I thought but soon, my eyes started to close and I fell asleep.
