Running

- Lulks POV -

I finally escaped from that monsters grasped while he was distracted eating my hand. I ran and ran like there's no tomorrow, trying to get away from that man as fast as possible.

Everything around me was nonexistent as my only focus right now was running. It was like my eyes blurred out everything around me except what was ahead of me so I wouldn't get distracted by the surroundings and only focus on running.

I felt fear, not the fear of death nor the fear of hearing all of my loved ones will die but instead, I was fearful towards that man.

Actually fear isn't the right word I should use. Instead, I was terrified beyond belief. I've never felt this terrified before in my whole life.

Not when I saw my brother's corpse or when I heard my mother said she will kill herself if she was left alone.

This man made it possible to make me terrified like never before.

No! He's a monster, not a man. Even using the term monster is just too generous for someone like him as he's something even beyond that of a monster.

Just remembering him eating both of my hands like they are some sort of snack sent chills to the very being of my soul.

So I keep on running and running in hope to stay away from that monster that was in disguise of my race.

I wanted to turn around to see if he was still there but decided not to in the end as I would most likely get even more terrified and somehow make me slip up, getting caught in the end.

While I was running for my life back to the Tribe, I noticed my vision was getting darker and darker probably due to the amount of blood I was losing.

A few thoughts ran into my mind.

'Should I let him kill me'

'Do I just stop to get rid of this immense pain I'm currently feeling'

As my body was getting weaker and weaker, more of these thoughts came across my mind as I was thinking of giving up.

'Maybe I should give up'

No!

I shouldn't give up. If I were to die then I will at least tell them that the Distruzione Tribe are planning an attack so they can be more prepared.

My new goal now is to inform my tribe what's going to happen. If I don't tell them then we would be massacred without pulling up a resistance.

So I ran even faster somehow using this dying body only for one goal. Let my family live and let my kid grow up to be a strong warrior.

I don't know how long I've been running. It felt like I've been running for days using my last remaining energy just to keep on running until I reach there.

As my vision kept on getting darker and darker. My movement speed started to decline. But after all that running that felt like days to me, I finally heard a familiar voice off in the distance and follow it.

'I'm almost there'

- Thrid POV -

While the 2 guards were standing there diligently, ready for an attack to happen at any current moment. They all of a sudden heard footsteps coming their way at an extremely fast-paced.

They then got in a guarding position just in case these footsteps belonged to an enemy. After 20 seconds of being on guard, there they could see a man all beat up and 2 of his hands missing.

Although he was beaten up, they could somehow recognize who it was. It was no other than Lulk himself.

"Go get a doctor to help him," One of the guards told the other which they obliged by nodding their head and heading inside the Tribe to get a doctor.

The Guard got close to Lulk who just stands there, looking like he's in his last dying breath

"Hey lulk you still there? Speak to me." The guard said while shaking Lulk as gently as he can to see if he's still alive

"Ish tat uou Lhicor?" Lulk said with his still dangling jaw that is somewhat healed

"Yes man, it's me. Licor." Licor answered back, somehow understanding his words

Once he heard those words, he then slumped to the ground with a smile on his face

"I shee, I gtues I'm really back"

"Yes, you're back so just rest here and take it easy. The doctors are on their way to heal you."

"Don't boter, the man who did tis to me made it so I wouldn't survive, even if I escaped."

"A man?" Licor questions as he looks at Lulks body more closely, and sure enough, these injuries are something no mere animal would do

"Who the fuck did this to y-" he suddenly stop his sentence as he heard a women's voice from behind with tears flowing down her cheek

"What happened to you, honey?" The female who is most likely his with asked with a shaky voice, seeing her husband like this

"Someone from the Distruzione Tribe did this to me. I tried my very best to survive to warn you all they are gonna kill us all"

His smile then went into a frown, with tears now in his eyes as he knows he's closer to death as now he can't hear anything

"I don't want to die. I want to see my kid grow up and die old. Not die like this, please let me see my kid grow up please"

"It's ok honey, you're going to live, I promise you're gonna live" The wife said but Lulk couldn't hear her shaky and desperate voice

"It's getting hot, is this what it feels like to die. Why has it to be me"

"Please don't die, please don't."

And then suddenly, his heart stopped beating, making him go into the afterlife. Hearing her husband's heart stopped, lead her to start crying profusely

While on the other hand, someone was sitting on a tree and eating a snack, while looking at the whole show play out, like it was some sort of play

"I guess he actually made it back"
