Chapter 12: Stalking Shadows Part One
Darkness surrounds me, wraps me in it's icy grip, hugs me, chills my soul, all the while comforting my paranoid thoughts of shadows. Rocking in the silent void, thoughts twisted around and around my brainmeats like big, buzzy...BEES! I whisper to myself and stare out into the darkness. It will come Soon...I know it will. It has been appearing everynight, waiting, mocking me. I stare ahead into the darkness, waiting. Tonight is the night. I can feel it in my bones. Tonight I will face the great shadow beast and i shall win. The shadows twist about me, embracing me. I draw strength from them as I wait. I can hear the ground shift as something steps, the pebbles crunch under its weight. Two large, crimson eyes burn back into my skull. I stare, not ready to belive that it's really him. I stumble forward and trip over a pile of dirt and fall to my face. I leap up and run towards him, pulling a netgun from my backpack, stumbling as i do so. It turns, dissapearing into the shadows and runs ahead. I run after it becomeing furious and determined to capture it. My brainmeats buzz as I run, the shadows brushing past me. It stops ahead, running off again as i get within reach. finally it stops for good and turns to stare at me. Out ot breath, I run up to it, raising my gun.
I aim as i get in range, but trip over my own feet and fall, the gun sliding out of my hand and towards his feet. The great shadow beast walks towards me, crunching my net gun under his weight and steps boldy up to me. I turn over to look up at him. His red eyes burn into my purple ones, all the fire mealting out of them, leaving bare determination and a hint of fear. He stares down at me as i stare back, awaiting my fate.

His cold red eyes stare back into mine as I lay there awaiting my doomy fate. I can feel his cold breath against my face, his shadowy aroura drifted about me, mixing with the rest of the darkness. He was strong, i could feel his power, his outline portrayed him as a four legged beast. A Tiger, or something, only bigger and much more scary. I could feel him lean closer, his breath getting closer on my face. I shut my eyes, preparing to feel the teeth sink into my skin when it spoke.
You...
I opened my eyes suddenly, seeing the sharp white teeth as he spoke. My brain froze, but my body moved. I rolled out of the way of his mouth, crashing into his paw, making him move it. As soon as he did I rolled again until i hit a pile of junk and dirt. I scrambled to my feet again as the great beast turned to stare at me. I backed up to the mound of junk, pressing so hard that a few things poked me in the back as the great beast walked up to me slowly. I could hear the weight of his foot as he stepped towards me. I've angered him. I'm done for!
Don't run. I won't hurt you.
I freeze and watch him, sharp teeth glistening in the low light. The sun has started to come up, giving a dim glow to everything. He stops in front of me, his red eyes glowing. I try to think what other weapons I have with me to use, but I'm frozen in thought.
Please don't be afraid.
Who are you? What did you do to Link?
Don't fear me.
ANSWER ME OR I'LL MELT YOUR BRAINS!
I shudder with a mix of fear and anger. Link comes to mind. I loved him, why shouldn't i be angry? :" The great shadow beast opens his mouth to speak, just as the rays of the sun come up over the horizon. He turns to look, turns back sparing me one more look, then in a swish of shadowy wind, he's gone n' i'm left by myself, miles from my base. I look around, not recognizing my location. I go to call my SIR to pick me up, but then remember his demise. I turn and look arond. Maybe if i get up high enough, I'll be able to tell which way is home.
I climb up to the top of a high mountain of junk and look out across the landscape towards my base. For an hour I look, finally spotting it in the distance. My spiderlegs extend from my backpack and carry me in the direction of my base swiftly. On them, I avoid all possibilities of falling in any hole and tripping over something with my clumbsiness. I really have to work on that. It has almost gotten me killed twice now. I reach my base and am surprised to see a familliar face there.
