Hunger Nightmare
Chapter 2: Why do not you wake up ... Damian?
4 days later ...
Marion's funeral ended in a rainy day. Jack, still in a period of mourning, puts his black coat on the floor in the corridor instead of hanging it on the coat rack, and goes to his room to paint the painting as a tribute to Marion.
His teeth are tightened with anger, and he can not help but knock on his canvas instead of painting delicately as he usually does on canvas.
His easel ends in pieces under the force of his blows, suddenly one knocks at his door
- WHAT? He shouts as he kicks the pieces of his easel, the door opens and Ziggourat enters the room, he glances at the breakout spread on the floor and then declares
- You have to think you're already nervous about your business Jack, I hope you're gonna pick it up and save you to buy a new one, because it's the third you Breaks in just three months!
- Already the last two Zeo and Damian broke them, for I had allowed myself to paint them in their sleep ... just to joke! Jack justifies himself annoyed, he passes his nerves on his chamber shutters by opening them with a great kick, before sitting on his bed. Ziggourat sighs
- Well ... I see that today is better not to go training or arrangement, so I'll offer you something to console you ... ( Jack is attentive ) tonight we all go the four go to eat in a restaurant chic enough that I know very well, we will certainly make a friend price !
Jack thinks for a long time, he hesitates and then drops after five seconds, accepting the invitation and starting to pick up his broken easel.
Ziggourat sketches a proud smile and then asks Jack to go and tell Damian while he takes care of Zeo on his side.
A few minutes later...
Jack ends up storing his room, then goes to that of Damian : There are no noises! He taps the door for the first time. No answer. A second time ... Always nothing! Jack tries to open, but the door is locked
- Damian? ... Call Jack from behind the door ; Damian, open the door please, we go out tonight is what you want to come? Jack still does not receive a reply from his friend, anxiety begins to surface in Jack's mind
- Damian ! Damian does not answer, Jack decides to go and warn Ziggourat in his office.
- There's a problem Jack? Asked Ziggurat intrigued.
- Damian has to close his door and he does not even answer when I call ! Warns Jack worried, Ziggourat sighs annoyed
- One day, I'll delete his keys, he's annoying when he does this ! Ziggurat growling as he headed for the Starbreakers' apartments !
Arrived in front of Damian's chamber door, he taps a first time
- Damian! It's Ziggurat, open this door! No answer, Ziggourat ends up losing patience and taking out a keychain from his pockets.
Upon entering the room, Jack and Ziggourat discover a frightening scene. Damian's blue curtains are torn, his mirror broken, his belongings scattered everywhere, and Damian is found lying on the ground, trembling with cold, with his hands covered with blood. Immediately Ziggourat and Jack goes to him and tries to call him by shaking him a little : Damian doesn't wake up!
Worried, Ziggourat examines him ... Damian is still alive, but the beating of his heart is very slow, his breathing is almost non-existent and it seems very weak. Jack then turns to look if Damian has not inflicted injuries in hopes of ending his life. Nothing. Just the small wounds in his hands, appeared when he had to break the mirror ... While Ziggurat laid Damian in his bed, Jack looked at him with concern
- Damian ... Why don't you wake up ? He whispered.
In an unknown place ...
Damian wakes up in his pajamas, soaked by the incessant rain, he is still disturbed, wipes his eyes and notices the transparency of his body when he sees the rain reflected in his arm
- What is this ... What happens to me? He wondered if he was afraid, he could not even see his body, he was transparent like a ghost, yet when he advanced a few steps and struck an old can with his foot he noticed that he did not Does not pass through the objects but is simply invisible.
The rain keeps falling, Damian trembles with cold and begins to look around him. A large, extinct city, or only lighting by the half-lit lampposts stretches out in front of him, and he finds himself in a dark alley, he leaves it, and begins to follow the road between several buildings
- I know this place ! He thinks recognizing a small bar next to a high-end shop that he knows pretty well.
Damian is not reassured ... The size of the city oppresses him, Damian knows that there is something wrong, the city seems to possess no lives, yet even the night City of New York is alive, but alas this was not the case ... Alone and invisible, Damian is stressed and does not know where to go!
Suddenly, as he walks to hope to find a way. His stomach begins to gurgle, Damian is a little embarrassed and tries to cover the noises of his stomach by pressing it with his hands, it is at this moment that he realizes that his body becomes visible and also that he Felt that he was not alone in this universe.
Other noises echo in the walls of the city, but these noises are not human, they are scary !
Worried, Damian decides to run away a bit further, but he can not run.
The violent grunts of his stomach emptied it with all his might, to the point that it collapsed on the wet ground by the rain.
While a kind of bipedal wolf with horns of skeletal stag and with transparent skin approaches him growling. Damian does not even have the strength to shake, and yet he is threatened by this monster who breathes the urge to kill him, Damian begins to groan of his hunger as he begins to rise, lighting around Blinks violently, and her stomach rumbles as hard as the beast prepares for the offensive.
And when the monster jumps up ... you hear brutal cracking and terrifying tearing !
The beast tear no longer moves and Damian ... becomes invisible again ! His whole body trembles, an oppressive presence frightens him to the point of making him flee through the alley, but he does not hear it. He looks for a place where he could hide, he ends up finding refuge inside an old wooden box where he becomes invisible ...
Damian can't call for help !
