Creatures POV
Cold. All i felt was cold. Mother natures blizzard swirled around me and I wrapped the cloak around me tighter but it did not seem to block out the cold. My whole body was numb. The cloak was all I had for warmth. I have walked for many days and nights and my dogs have all died, the poor creatures. At least they gave me determination but now even that small comfort is gone and I am alone again. I have not eaten or slept for more than a month. Hunger and exhaustion is finally catching up to me as I fall exhausted against the cool snow. I will give in to sleep, an endless sleep that will take me away from the cold, lonely world that have been born into. The hatred of mankind, the loneliness and my hatred and revenge will soon be nothing. I close my eyes and feel mother natures cold caress. I will become dust, as i should have been years ago. I give into the darkness of sleep.
Victors POV
I only have one snow dog left. All of the others have died of starvation, and cold. Even this one dog will die soon and then I will have to pull my sled. Firewood and a blanket are all I have and the clothes on my back are what I have worn for months. The blizzard i have gotten stuck in is miserable. All I feel is cold. Snow stings my eyes and the wind howls against my ears. I see a cave in the distance. Finally, somewhere warm and dry to stay. Suddenly my sled stops and my heart shudders at the thought and I find I was right, for the dog did die right then and there. There was no way to save it and I pet its fur and spoke soothing words to it in its final moments. At least it wasn't alone. I pick it up and carry it to a spot behind a tree. I dig with my already numb fingers, a small grave. After I cover the grave, I thank the Lord for this small gift he had given to me and make my way back to the sled. As I pull it along I can see something on the ground. The closer I got to it, the more I dreaded it. I see the creature I had made is laying at my feet. I quickly pick it up and lay it in the sled.
I finally arrive at the cave. I walk in with caution and am relieved it is unoccupied as I bring in the firewood and blanket. I lay the blanket on the floor and start a fire with some matches in my pocket. I cradle the creature in my arms as if it were a baby and lay it on the blanket next to the fire. I kneel down next to it and notice that it's black lips are already blue. I can find no pulse. My enemy is dead. I should rejoice, for the creature will no longer haunt me. But now I have no one left in my family. Everyone I love is dead because of the creature before me. So what do I do now? I am truly alone.
The creature is dead. It is now his cold body that lays here. I realize now that if I had not run away none of this would have happened. My disgust and fear took over as soon as it opened it's eye's. I now see the creature as a human being and can now can call it him instead of creature, demon, fiend, devil and it. He was brought into the world from my hands and I had a unspoken duty to care for him but alas, I did not. He did not see a beautiful world. He was rejected. Rejected by everyone including me. All he wanted was love but man perceived him as threat or they ran away in fear. He even saw himself as a creature. He was an outcast, doomed to walk the earth alone. Anger and hatred built up from rejection and that is what turned him into a monster. Anger and revenge blinded both of us. If only I could try again and show him the love from me he truly deserves but I know I can't.
I stay by his side till the dawn. The blizzard has stopped and I creep out of the cave as I cradle him in my arms and carry him behind the same tree I had buried the dog the day before. I dig another grave and I lay him inside. I kissed his forehead and covered up the grave. Then, I wept for him. I wept until I had no more tears left. What do I do now? I am now just like him, left alone to wander the earth. I will lay next to him and await death. I close my eyes and give into the darkness of a peaceful eternal sleep.
