Chapter 135: 135

I walked through the forest, lost in my thoughts . 'A creature I can't see is even stronger than me . No wonder that guy warned me about the north . I will go there anyway . Maybe that was just some kind of freak creature, just like the Black Mammoth I encountered with Sh.e.l.ly' I thought . I lifted my head up and looked at the clouds drifting through the sky . 'Eh, if only Sh.e.l.ly was here with me' I thought and then lowered my head to look in front of me .

"Impossible!"

I exclaimed . "This is not real, is it?" I said out loud again . What I saw standing in front of me, was… Sh.e.l.ly . "Sh.e.l.ly? . . . How?" I blurted out . I had no other words but questions only . How was that possible? Was it really Sh.e.l.ly? How did it survive? And many more questions ran through my head .

I ran towards Sh.e.l.ly while screaming "It's good that you are back!" but instead, Sh.e.l.ly 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 Sh.e.l.ly, it was no longer there . "What the h.e.l.l is going on? Sh.e.l.ly? . . . Sh.e.l.lY!" no response whatsoever .

'I must be hallucinating . Sh.e.l.ly is dead, how could it appear here?' I thought as I started to move again . Not long after, I heard something move behind me . I turned around and called "Sh.e.l.ly?" but it wasn't Sh.e.l.ly… it was Nick this time . "How? What is going on here!?" . I was confused . Was I hallucinating? Was my mind playing tricks on me? or was this real? I could no longer distinguish that . Nick looked like the usual him . The same clothes, the same expression on his face and the same posture .

I said "Nick? Is that really you? You've died a long time ago . How come you are here?" but Nick didn't say anything and ran towards some trees . I tried to catch up to him but I again lost sight of Nick this time . "Something is wrong here . Sh.e.l.ly 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 calmed myself a bit and turned around towards north . As I took couple of steps, a rustling sound came from behind me again . I turned around and shouted "What are you!? What do you want?" but what I saw shocked me 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 me 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 d.a.m.ned creature that stalked me for days on end . I lost my calmness completely . What replaced it was boundless rage .

"BOOOM!"

"BOOOM!"

The ground shattered underneath me as I launched at the creature standing in front of me . 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 somehow find the creature using my instincts as if I had a compa.s.s built inside my mind that pointed my in the general direction of the creature . The rage inside me bursted and a new aura was born inside of me . The air seemed 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 me 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!"

"Booom! . . . . Booom!"

"Come 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 me . She said "You finally woke up" .

I immediately know who it was . "It's you! Why don't you just kill me? Why do you want to torture me 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 me? 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 me saying "Nothing, I was just interested . You seemed different from others so I watched you . I didn't mean for you to suffer like this" . She then extended her hand and tried to give me something . I had no strength and I was hungry as well so I took it . If she wanted to kill me, she would've already . With some many chances on her plate, she probably didn't want to kill me .

When I ate that something she gave me, I started to feel a bit better . The pain started to subdue but I still felt immense hunger . I thought I ask some 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 some differences . Her black hair seemed to be wet with something, it looked like some 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 same time" . 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 me 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 some kind of cave .

I said "My friends . People of the past . They are dead now" . She looked at me and asked again "You didn't see anyone alive when you looked at me 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 mean 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 seemed to realise something and said "Right, you do eat a lot!" and gave me 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 exclaimed "What is that thing you gave me? 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 .

I walked through the forest, lost in my thoughts . A creature I cant see is even stronger than me . No wonder that guy warned me about the north . I will go there anyway .
