mansion: chapter 10
Sonic's POV
-2012-
I was frozen in place as the monster in front of me loomed over me. It's shadow enveloped me whole as it was towering over me. I stared at it in fright. It let out a hellish screech as it charged forward. I avoided it barely as it ran past me. it wasn't fast, but i didn't want to get hit by it's massive claws either. It let out another blood curling scream and i smelt a rotten odour. What the hell was this thing? I couldn't see it well because of the darkness and the misty enviremont. And not being able to see it made it even more intimidating. I clumisely avoided another attack once again and ran for it. I had to think of a plan. It's not like i could just beat this thing to the ground with my own two bare fists. There was no way that would work. I needed some kind of weapon. But what? There was nothing in sight that could be of any use to me. In that case i had to think of something else to get rid of it. My lungs started to hurt because of my running making me slow down alot. I had to stop and catch my breath.
I felt my breath knocked out of me as that thing put all his strenght when he slammed it's right hand into me. I was flung against a pillar. I felt pain rise in my chest the moment i landed back onto the ground. I groaned painfully and laid a hand on the place where my chest hurt. I opened my eyes, which i had closed when i hit that pillar, and saw that the monster had it's clawed hands raised up in the air, ready to strike me again. I snapped out of my shock and rolled to the side. I ignored my pain and got up. I started running again as fast as i could, but the pain of the wounds that i had recieved were slowing me down. That fact made me panick. What made it worse was the fact that this monster was noticing that.
My battle with this monster kept going on for a long time. And all i could do was avoid and run. I was starting to get exhausted. I had to get rid of this thing soon or i would be done for. I fell to the ground. I yelped when i landed on my chest. I panted and tried to get back up, but my exhaustion kept me from doing it as i fell back to the ground everytime i tried. I looked at that thing in the corner of my eyes. It loomed intimidatingly over me once again and raised on of it's clawed hands. I knew that i was done for. I couldn't beat it, nor could i find a way out. I couldn't go back through that vent either as it was high above the ground. I embraced for impact and awaited my inevitable death. I wanted to lay my hands on top of my head as a weak defense against the monsters fatal strike. When i moved my right hand to lay it on my left one, i felt it hit something. I looked at it and saw a broken pole. With the little strenght i had left i grabbed it and pointed it at that monster to strike it right on the moment it striked. It's left hand got penetrated by the pole and it let out another blood curling screech. I got up from the ground weakly and started running. I had tried to retrieve the pole again, but found it to be stuck in that monster's left hand. Meaning that i was once again defenseless. I searched desparetly for a way out or another weapon.
Before i knew it i was cornered. I couldn't believe this. This place is huge and there really was no way to escape? I looked behind me and then noticed something. I shined my flashlight at it's disgusting face. My suspiciouns were correct. This thing had no eyes. It followed me by sound only. That brought me on an idea. I grabbed a rock from the ground and threw it over the thing's head as far as i could. As the stone touched the ground it attracted the monster towards it. It turned around and ran to the place. When it arrived there it raised it's right claws and striked it to the ground. It screeched as it hurt it's hand by striking the hard ground. I was right about it only following me through sound. So i had to escape without making a sound. I tried to sneak away as quietly as i possibly could.
This little discovery made me more at easy. It couldn't follow me anymore and everytime i made a sound i could throw something to distract it. But unfortunatly my luck had run out to soon for comfort. I accidently re-opened the wound that monster gave me before i went to chase shadow. That was a bad mistake. I froze in place as i heard the monster starting to sniff around. It could smell the odour of my blood dripping from my wound. It charged towards me again. I threw a rock to try and distract it, but it didn't even move an inch towards the sound of it landing. It didn't work anymore as now it had my scent to rely on. It ran towards me faster then i could run with my wounds. So i couldn't avoid even if i were to run away. All i could do was brace for impact once more and hope that i would find a weapon like the last time, but this time was diffirent. There was no pauze in it's movement. And there was no weapon near me. All i could do was hope that my death would be quick and painless.
