Chapter 2

I had to reach the branch. My body was so sore.

I pushed it to its limits. I finally reached the branch and so I launched myself forward and steadied my body on it. The bark of the tree raked my skin. The cold tickled my skin, I was in a

terrible condition. I looked around the dark forest. I heard screams in the distance. I dared not to make any sound. Something was out there. It's funny how just this morning I was in the comfort of my bed. Living my normal life. Now I was scared for my life and people were dying. I had no clue where my family was. I was scared shitless of the unknown.

I shivered.

Was I gonna die?

How long before I'm found and killed. Eveything looked so far a little from up here. Something comes into my view.

A man.

He looked around he paid attention to eveything around him. Battered and bruised. Confused and scared. I dared not to make a sound, I didn't know who to trust. A gust of wind engulfed the area. The trees shook violently, the leaves danced around us. I clung onto the tree ensuring not to fall. The wind became stronger and stronger. I hugged the the branch even tighter. As though we were in a tornado. I felt my fingers loose grip I knew better than to let go. I looked around for the man ,he was on his knees shielding himself from the wind.

The hairs on my hand stood up. My body started shaking violently and it wasn't from the cold. My limbs became numb. A sense of fear overcame my body as though it knew something I didn't. My eyes darted round. Something was here. Something dangerous.

Something deadly.

That same something that had been attacking the people.

The same something that appeared in my view.

My heart dropped.

My body continued shaking.I had never seen anything like that before I could not believe my eyes. My lungs tightened.

The sight before me terrified me. The man spotted it. His body was too paralyzed with fear to move. Numb to the fear. It had no eyes in the front but in the back. It had many large gnashing teeth that were pointed and sharp.

Two heads, it had two heads. I wanted to puke. It also had two conjoined bodies, spiked armour that ran down each back of each body division.

I wanted to be anywhere but here.

What was this creature?

The man was grabbed by his throat.

The creature wrapped it's claws around his neck. The man hung like a rag doll. I watched both disgusted and numb. It held the man for some seconds.

The man sobbed fear danced around in his eyes. The air reaked of death

It ripped off one of the his arms. Bile pooled at the back of my throat, threatening to spill at at any give moment, still I swallowed it back loathing the bitter taste it left in my throat.

The man screamed, blood sprouted everywhere. The creature snarled then tore another limb. The man was barely holding on his life-force hung by a thread, I could tell by the way the spark on his eyes dimmed by the second. Dread filled my body, I'd be next.

My body felt heavy and hard like a cement statue I couldn't move. Fear taunted me, taking my body under hostage. I wanted to scream so badly. The sight before me was horrifying. The creature tore the man limb for limb, inflicting just the right amount of pain to keep him conscious enough to feel every ounce of pain. Sick and inhumane, it was taunting him.

It took pleasure in hearing the screams of the man. My eardrums were sore, sore from listening to the piercing screams that invaded the night. The sight infront of me would be embedded in my brain forever, I wanted more than anything to look away shut my eyes and erase it from my mind, but I couldn't. Instead my eyes stayed trained on the horrible spectacle, they too were under a trance.

Blood, there was so much blood. I'd never hated the color red more than I did now. It kept tearing and slicing him apart until the man was reduced almost to nothing left with nothing but his upper chest and his head. How he was still alive was shocking.

Still he was barely handing on. His intestines hung loosely. His limbs scattered all over. Blood everywhere. How could something be so evil. The creature opened its mouth.

I was helpless. I was useless. A wave of guilt washed over my body. The creatures tongue wrapped itself around the man's remaining body. The man let out one last scream before he disappeared into one of the throats of the creature.

I could have sworn it smiled afterwards. A strong piercing roar spilled from its mouth. The roar shook everything. The trees wrestled against each other.Leaves flung all around.

I felt myself loose my grip.

Fuck.

I was soon carried into the wind. I felt my body being tossed helplessly.

As fast as I went up I fell down. I watched myself fall to the ground and soon no time I felt my bones crush at the horrible impact. Pain erupted from every pore and inch in my body. I groaned.

Eveything hurt.

From the corner of my eyes I could see its claws. My eyes slowly darted up and I found myself starring at it directly at its teeth. Since its eyes were near it's ass. That's That's if it had an ass. He'll I didn't know what it was yet alone which body part was which. It was my turn to die now.
