1 Prologue
"RUN!"
With a shout that resounded to my brain, I was snapped back to reality as I ran for the exit gate.
With trembling legs and exhausted body, I practically dragged myself as the hallway gets narrower and the exit door gets nearer in sight.
Halfway through the hallway, I hear the ever terrifying sound of blunt chopping sound of the machete along with the scream of my bestfriend.
I stopped in my tracks as his screams gets louder and louder.
My teeth made clattering sound as my thoughts, filled with anxiety and hesitation.
Tears uncontrollably fell down as memories of my bestfriend went through my head.
I HAVE to go back..
I.. h-have to...
Courage filled me as my anxiety slowly went away.
My slow trembling legs started to move towards the other end of the hallway as the howls of pain get louder.
Slowly.
Each steps I made gave unimaginable weight as my breath started to become rigid.
My head started to spin as I was near the turning point of the hallway, Fear was practically dragging my body away as I forced myself to continue walking.
Suddenly, The screaming stopped, everything was silent except for my fast, uncontrolled breathing.
I slowly moved my body as I crawled nearer the turning point.
Slowly, hesitantly, and with a deep gulp. I peeked.
What I saw made me lose all of my breath as energy was suddenly drained from my body.
Tears immediately fell down as I held my mouth in shock.
T-this monster.....
I looked in shock as I stared at my bestfriend- or at least, what's left of him.
He was hung in the wall while in an inverted crucification position.
Deep cuts could be seen from his body as fresh blood endlessly flowed.
Obvious sign of beating and torture could be seen from his body.
What was the most horrifying of all is, the deep cut on his stomach that made his organs and intestine flow out.
My vision started to get blurry as I wasn't able to move my body.
With a quivering voice, I called out to my bestfriend.
"B-.... B-blitz?...."
Miraculously, I could still see him breathe.
My body staggered as I approached him, guilt and regret started to drown me.
His face, so disfigured that you could not tell who he was.
His nose was cut off as some of his teeth was missing.
One of his eye was bleeding out as the other was bruised with a black eye.
I dropped down next to the head of my friend as my hands trembled while I slowly touched him with it.
He flinched and started to panic, However, he calmed down as soon as he felt the warmth of my palm.
His calmed state however, did not last long as he stared back at me in shock.
Tears mixed with blood flowed down his eyes as he tried his best to look at me.
"Wa... wa..... what... a-re.... you... doing..."
My face crumpled as even more tears came out as I heard my friend's broken voice.
"I-im sorry.... I'm so sorry!...."
My chest tightened so much that I couldn't breath, My lip started to bleed as my bite
"G-get... out... you m-moron...."
With that, he drew his last breath.
-
Air felt locked in my lungs as despair filled my thoughts.
My body was trembling in anxiety.
...
What is happening?
...
What am I doing?
...
...
I don't even know or care anymore.
...
... I just want it all to be over..
...
just end it all... PLEASE! ...
-
Lying on my friend's pool of blood, I struggled to stand up.
Empty mindedly, I slowly walked back towards the hallway leading to the exit.
My body slowly walk through the hallway as it left bloody trails and footsteps.
Halfway through the hallway, I saw it.
As if it was waiting for me, It went on the middle of the hallway, clearly intent on blocking the way.
Upon seeing it up close, All sorts of emotion flew into my mind.
Anger, Fear, Sadness, Despair, Emptiness, Helplessness, and more.
I think I was starting to lose a few screws but I no longer have anything to live for.
With completely nothing in mind, I shouted,
"COME!"
and end me.
I spreading my arms and legs out as if to embrace this damnable monster.
It stared at me as I stared back with nothing but emptiness and lack for any care.
It's growls started to grow louder at it slowly walked towards me as if enjoying the moment.
"G-great God! An-an-another of-offering for y-you!"
He smiled as he lunged at me.
I know what I was about to do was quite idiotic, no, probably even worse than that but-
I just can't take the pain anymore.
As soon as he lunged towards me, I also ran towards him in a completely defenseless stance.
I have completely given up.
His machete was fast approaching but it felt like the world was in slow motion.
Everything was being processed in my mind even though my thoughts couldn't be found.
SLASH!
