Carlos' Second Childhood, Part 1.
Carlos thought the memorial service, went rather well. But still Jane plagued his mind, he couldn't not think about her. Right now, Carlos is sitting down on an old park bench with Dude sat beside him on the bench. The boy's mouth was dry from dehydration and calling out the same name over and over.
"What am I going to do?" Carlos asked not really expecting an answer. He wished there was some way of him getting to Jane. But sadly, there was no way he could reach her without Jane herself granting permission stupid Blood Magic. Dude started to bark. "What's wrong buddy?" Carlos started to stroke Dude rather affectionally. But still the dog didn't stop barking.
"What's wrong?" Carlos asked, Dude turned his head and continued to bark. Carlos decides to find out what's troubling his favourite companion. The boy turned his head and to his horror he sees a beast of some sorts, a large figure made out of mud or clay. The figure is walking slowly towards the vk and his pet. Carlos quickly picks up Dude. Carlos not wanting to stick around makes a run for it heading back to camp. Carlos must have been running for ten minutes straight before he had to stop to catch his breathe. Again, to his horror he finds the clay/mud monster standing right in front of him. How could that thing move so fast? Carlos quickly turns to run away from the monster but barely after a few steps he finds himself trapped in a cage with bars.
"LET ME OUT!" Carlos shouted.
"Must return the offspring home," The monster said, before it started walking off in the direction of the dark forest. Carlos starts kicking against the bars trying to loosen them. It was so bizarre the cage is made from the monster's left arm.
"OFFSPRING!" Carlos gasped; this was just getting weirder. The boy carefully but quickly is able to throw Dude out of the cage, since the small dog could fit through the bars. "Run get help," Dude just barks before running his eyes displaying the dog's sadness and pain at Carlos being trapped and taken. The dog runs in the direction of the camp. Carlos kept trying to break through the bars for a good two hours, but the bars weren't phased, and neither was the monster. Eventually, Carlos tired and still dehydrated blacked out.
End of chapter.
