The sun broke into the sky as daylight glazed over the area, bringing a sense of serenity and maybe even peace. Sparrow instantly relaxed knowing that she could see the once dark crevices, she wasn't sure exactly where she was, or where she was going, but the one thing in her mind was the safety of Leslie, so for now she had been searching for him.
Ruvik popped up wherever he wanted so she knew he could pretty much look after himself, wait what was she thinking? Of course he could look after himself he controlled this world!
'Nows not the time to have an IQ lower than 5' Sparrow thought to herself as she wandered through the crumbling buildings,'this must be a graveyard' she observed. The only reason Sparrow even knew what a graveyard looked like was because of some pictures in books that she saw but they were quite old. The stone statues of horses and angels intrigued her and she wondered what they looked like in the flesh.
"That's a really good drawing" Ruvik praised as his eyes raked over the illustration of a horse galloping, except for a few out of proportion limbs its was pretty good for a 14 year old,"I would show you my artistic skills but they're a little...distasteful"
Sparrow frowned and cocked her head to the side, it had become a custom to over exaggerate her body language for people to better understand her.
"No no no, don't give me that look, you'll honestly find me weird" Ruvik smiled and Sparrow rolled her eyes before mouthing 'you already are'
"Well that's offensive" the bandaged man glared playfully at her before smirking.
'why am I hacing flashbacks of our time together all the time?' Sparrow thought as she pinched the bridge on her nose ' maybe because our minds are linked? Both of our memories combined, or maybe something triggers the flashbacks? For now i just to deal with them'
"AAAAHH" a familiar scream in the distance startled her, Sparrow climbed up on top of a gravestone and peered out to where the scream had been heard, quickly spotting that woman who helped her into the ambulance dragging poor Leslie behind. Even from here Sparrow could see that Leslie was terrified, eager to be with someone familiar. Sparrow jumped down and ran across the area, a bad mistake on her part as the haunted heard her loud foot steps and followed behind her carrying pitchforks and knives. As she ran across a yard like area with loads of bushes, a gunshot sound echoed throughout the area, Sparrow was completely unaware of what happened until her leg gave way and she fell to the floor. The sudden pain shot through her leg like lightening and she looked down to see a hole in her leg. If she could scream in pain she would, otherwise she was left with her mouth agape and a pained expression on her face. The haunted got closer and closer until more gunshots could be heard. Looking to the side she saw the man from the ambulance and another she hadn't seen before come out from a sewer looking bit underground. Once all the haunted had been killed the two men ran towards her.
"Hey I saw you earlier with Leslie, I'm Detective Sebastian Castellanos and this is my partner Joseph Oda" he gestured to the man behind him before looking at Sparrow expecting her to make an introduction. She just nodded.
"First we better take care of your leg" Joseph said as he pulled a syringe filled with some green fluid from behind him back, noticing her become tense and her eyes becoming wide he holds his hands up,"no no it's ok, in this world these things relieve you of any pain, then we just have to bandage you up"
Suddenly a growl came from the place that Sebastian and Joseph came from, making the trio freeze in fear of what it might be, the ground have a tremor before a hideous dog like abomination burst through the iron gates, knocking over Joseph and his glasses away from each other.
'The hell is that? I've got to get away' Sparrow thought eagerly as she looked around, spotting another iron fence with a gap through the side, enough room for her to crawl through but it was over the other side. Still feeling the pain in her leg she was too weak to move them, so she used her arms to drag herself along the courtyard slowly with Sebastian seemingly distracting the beast, she cautiously crawled forward, afraid that if her movements were too sudden the beast would turn to her.
'Why don't you use your new abilities?' The gentle voice of the nurse in red rang through her head,'I didn't help you unlock them for nothing'
'Abilities?' Sparrow thought as she looked around her, Sebastian got charged into by that animal with a ghastly mouth on its neck.
With Sebastian down the thing turned its attention to the person crawling on the floor in agony, the smell of fresh blood filling its senses. The thing bolted into action, sprinting towards Sparrow with drool spilling out of its mouth, eager for the easy meal. Sparrow could feel her gut plummet down to the ground, frozen with fear as the thing continues to charge at her. At the last minute Sparrow clenched her eyes and lifted her arm to cover her face in hopes of finding her abilities in helplessness, but she was wrong. The large beast awkwardly clamped its jaws on her hovering arm, making her widen her eyes at how painful it was. She could feel it's giant teeth colliding each other inside her arm making her almost puke at the thought of its teeth grinding against each other inside her arm.
'I'm going to die' she realised, even if the beast let go she would never survive the wound.
As she was about to close her eyes and let the beast rip her arm off, she looked back at it one final time but all she saw was dark green blood coming from its teeth marks. Green veins began to pulse in her eyes until her vision went blank, a feel of weightlessness drifted over her body.
