Forsakened (2)

August who was filled to the brim with adrenaline, noticed that Dante wasn't moving. He rushed and pushed Dante out of George's line of sight before he could pull the trigger. Both of them fell to the ground and August slapped Dante's face, causing Dante to snap out of his trance. The two hurriedly got up and ran towards the forest. After noticing that the two young men were making a run for it, George screamed towards his crew "Run after them you useless twats!!" What happened next was that a swarm of pirates rushed towards Dante and August.

Dante and August knew the forest like the back of their hands, they used the forests thick vegetation to hide and to lure their pursuers to go deeper into the woods. Unbeknownst to the pirates, the forest is filled by traps set up by both Dante and August. It's even rumored that a predator named Death Fang which was said to be larger than a lion, with thick black fur and razor like fangs. The pirates ventured deeper within the woods, when suddenly they heard a strange sound, before they could figure out what caused the weird noise, it was already too late. Huge lumbers swung from both sides, squishing five pirates. Blood spattered everywhere. The lucky ones who were able to avoid certain death, scremed "watch out, the forest is rigged!" Just before they could regain their composure, huge boulders suddenly fell from the nearby hill, leaving behind a gruesome trail of blood and broken bones.

George who was outside the forest grew impatient, then he yelled "How hard it is to kill two fucking brats!!" Without further moment to waste, George marched in with his men inside the forest.

After seeing their pursuers scared and disoriented, Dante climbed up an old tree, hidden within its branches is a wooden bow coupled with a few arrows. Dante used the chaos to his advantage and sniped the unaware pirates one by one, while August on the other hand threw wooden pikes from a distance, soon, one by one, their pursuers were dying without any resistance. Just when they thought victory was within their grasp, George saw Dante and in the next moment fired his gun at him. Dante fell from such a great height and was unable to move his body, luckily he was only shot at his arm, otherwise he would've died already.

After seeing Dante was shot, August charged towards George, with his wooden pike in front of him hoping to skewer George. Just when he was about to pierce George, George dodged the attack effortlessly leaving August wide open. Aftet dodging, George performed a diagonal slash that nearly cleaved August body in two.

Dante witnessing the horrible fate that his dear friend experienced, he pleaded at George "stoooooop!! Please stop it!!" George turned towards Dante and grinned at him "shut it kid, ill kill you next!" George was walking slowly towards August's location. Just when he was about to behead August, they all heard a ferocious growl. George flinched at the dreadful screech, carefully looking at his surroundings. After confirming there was nothing there, George returned his focus on August who was desperately grasping for air. George raised his arm and smiled one last time towards August, just when he was about to slit his throat, blood suddenly gushed out of nowhere.

Everything happened so fast, the next moment George was screaming horribly like he was experiencing excruciating pain. His right hand was gone, like something bit it off with extreme force. When George was panting heavily, he looked behind him. What he saw was an enormous black feline-like creature. George was about to pull the gun from his waist, when suddenly the cat-like creature pounced on him and bit his head off.

Dante and August were barely conscious and after seeing the tragic fate that Razor hand George suffered, the cat like creature was slowly approaching both of them, like a predator stalking its prey. Both had barely any strength left to make a run for it. Especially August who was a couple of blocks away from deaths doorstep. Just when the beast was infront of them, it transformed. Suddenly the huge cat like creature took the form of a man. Both Dante and August were left in awe, soon after they collapsed from shock and exhaustion.
