Something is Stirring
He's been walking around for quite some time, hasn't he? It was supposed to be a normal day exploring a new dungeon, nothing out of the ordinary. The Pokemon here were a challenge, yes, but it was a great way to gain experience. So he stayed on this floor, fighting and fighting, training and training until his bruised and battered body ached. But he enjoyed it and the injuries could be quickly healed by an Oran berry.
Something is stirring…
He stiffens as he feels a sudden chill in the air. What was that? A voice? An illusion? Hallucination? Imagination? Whatever it was, it's gone now. He shrugs and continues battling all in his path as he grew stronger and stronger. Never mind the slight cool breeze blowing through the area; it was rather refreshing.
Something is approaching…
The wind begins to blow harder. He stops. Why…Why was he suddenly afraid? He can hear his heart beating in his chest. Thump-thump. Thump-thump. Thump-thump. But if he listens closely, it wasn't just his heart, now was it? Thud-thud. Thud-thud. Thud-thud. Whatever he was hearing was stomping in time to the heartbeats. He hurries onwards, hoping that whoever was screwing with his mind will be gone or he could finally meet the person face to face. He took care of the Pokemon here, he can certainly take care of his stalker! But perhaps…Perhaps it wants him to move forward? He shakes his head at the thought. Absurd! There's no way that it could-
It's coming closer…
He hears harsh breathing, monstrous breathing all around him as the gale whips around his body. His mind begins to panic and he tries to force the fear down. Someone was just playing tricks on him...someone was just playing mind games with him… A pebble is kicked to where he is and he bolts down the hallway. He darts through room to room, glancing around fearfully for the stairs. The exit…Where's the exit?! WHERE IS IT?! He nearly cries out as he spots the spiraling staircase. Just a few more steps and perhaps the thing would go away! He rushes towards his lifesaver. Five steps…Four steps…Three…Two…One…
It's right here. It's gusting hard!
The current pushes him back, away from the stairs, away from his savior. He crashes into something hard, the breathing turning into harsh laughter. He turns around-
And screams.
I've always wanted to write a story about the gust that makes you faint in the dungeons, but I never got around to it until today. It was actually supposed to be 2nd person POV but Fanfiction doesn't like that. |D The 2nd person POV version is already posted on DA. Hope you enjoy it!
