2 Encounter

Wandering for an unknown amount of time, it came face to face with the most horrifying and appalling creature without even knowing: a Human. Interestingly, it showed no fear or otherworldly expression except that of curiosity.

Tilting its head to the side, it and the human eyed each other for seemingly an unknown amount of time. It wasn't known how long they stared at each other, but when a voice broke through the silence, the human woke up and frantically ran towards the voice.

Showing interest in this new creature it discovered, it decided to follow. However, it soon realized that it was exceedingly slow as no matter how fast it ran it cannot catch up. Thus it attempts a transformation of pain and suffering. Understanding that transforming in public location is a fatal error, it seeks for a place to securely change its body. Finding an abandoned hollow tree, it observes its surrounds before it begins to change.

Feeling the same excruciating pain from changing, it drops to the ground and squirms as the bones and organs in its body remodeled themselves. Copious amounts of saliva drip from its mouth as it attempts to endure the agony. But, no matter how great it seeks to endure the pain, in the end, it once again blacked out.

Waking up with a start, its eyes adjust to the dark environment as it comes out from the tree. With its black coat and grey underside, it utterly camouflages into the cover of dusk. Individually moving its wolf-like ears on the top of its head, it listens in the noisy forest. Lifting its snout into the air, it began sniffing about trying to find something. A low rumble resonated from its belly as an indicator of hunger.

Taking notice of an odor or noise, it took off in that direction. With remarkably swift speed, it quickly reached its designation. In the ditch lay a body: a body similar to which it saw before. Its limbs were bent in weird shapes as a pungent smell emitted from it. Fractured bones jutted out from the skin as the seemingly frozen blood oozes down its limbs. And its neck, it was bent in such a shape that the spinal cord shown itself as its fluid mixes with the blood causing a distinct coloration.

Flies or what appears to be flies swarm all over the decomposing body as it lay in the ditch. Salivating from such a chance, it gave no remorse nor emotional as it dove headfirst. Bitting onto the body, its fangs sank into the soft and tender tissue as blood oozes along with the shape of its mouth. Tasting the blood, a feral side took hold as it fiercely dragged the body out from the ditch.

However, it soon realized that it wasn't the only one who caught the scent of a decaying corpse. Multiple eyes shine through the thickets of the night as they watch it. Growling, it tries to protect its food, but no matter how much or how loud it growled, its tactics didn't work. Outnumbered, and weak from hunger, it tore off an appendage with its powerful fangs and high tailed out of there.

As soon as it left, multiple growls emitted from the area as savage howls fill the air. The sound of flesh being ripped and gnawed and swallowed followed as hideous laughter surrounded by yelps echoed through the night.

Finding a safe place to stay, it began to feast upon its part of the meal. Scrapping the small amount of flesh from the head it ripped off, it chewed and swallowed as it licks the blood-covered skull. Digging the rotting eyes out, it smushes them in its mouth and drank. Tearing the tongue, it snacked on it like rubber before finally swallowing. Unsatisfied with how little it ate and how hungry it was, it uses the skull as a chewing ball.

However, it was soon met with misery as the feeble skull broke from its powerful bite. Sadden by the fact, it still took joy as it ate the brain, the marrow, and drink its juices. Crunching the bones into tiny pieces, it left nothing behind as it swallowed the broken bones.

Although mildly hungry, it knew that nothing would be left behind if it went back, and so it slept under the cover of darkness. Unbeknownst to it, its body starts to transform without its will or knowledge. Slowly, its body morphs and changes. Paddling its limbs as if in a disastrous nightmare, it dances with the pain. As the night grew old and fell, the young sun raises from the ashes.

It awakened with a start as it attempts to understand wherever it is. Turning its head from side to side, it sees darkness in all direction except for one. It was like the light at the end of the passage as it shone ever brightly. Attempting to get up, it fell. It was like a being that is trying to get up for the first time as it continues. After multiple tries of trying, it finally got on all four of its limbs: hands and feet.

As it neared the blinding light with its bruised and cut naked body, it shields its eyes with its long and slender arm. As its body adjusts to the light, it slowly opens its eye and was amazed at the beauty laid before it: a steady stream that turns into a crushing waterfall as it pummels down, the vibrant greenery fill with life, the ever so rustling of leaves. The mosaic environment of Eden.

Moving, it reaches the water edge and was surprised at its reflection. Planting its white buttocks on the ground, it tilts its head from side to side as it watches as the reflection of itself did the same. Intrigue, it slowly digs its hand into the water while watching as the reflection did the same. As its hand touches and dips below the cool and refreshing stream, the ripples cause the reflection to distort as it falls onto its back. Shocked but mostly surprised, it gazes at the blue sky of clouds.
