Chapter 5 An Unnatural Feeling

¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤

The excavation was finished. Nothing of much importance was found.

But then we took a second look and found that, through the huge hole at the end of the compartment we could reach the roof of the train.

Then we heard a fierce growling and felt a huge rumble from the above.

Then the train started.

With a jerk, it roared to life. The lights blasted on and we stumbled as the train hurtled toward its unknown destination.

"WHOA!" I yelled. I lost my footing and fell to the floor. Rain began to drench the room. I stood up and looked around. "Juunanagou. . . Do you know what that was?"

Juunanagou shook his head, eyes narrowed. He then stepped toward the gash at the end of the comparment and stuck out his hand. "This train isn't going too fast. . . we can still reach the roof without being blown off." He stated. He grabbed a railing on the outside of the compartment and hoisted himself up, me at his heels. At the top, we were immediately soaked and crouched down low walking across the roof. There was a huge gap n the other side of the train but we ignored it, moving onward. We came across yet another hole in the roof, on the other side of it was a broken wire. Juunanagou reached over and stuck the two frayed ends together. The train gave a huge lurch and he was pushed into the hole.

"Sh*t!"

"Juunanagou!" I yelled over the storm. "Are you alright?" I looked into the hole to find him laying in a small kitchen-like room.

He got up and tried the door. "Dammit! It's locked!" he yelled back. His cold blue yes were now narrowed in frustration.

"I'll go see if I can open it!" I replied. I then rushed back to the hole on the side of the train. I jumped in and brushed off my soaked attire. I was freezing. I walked over to the door beside the bar and gave a knock. "Juunana? You in there?"

"Whaddaya think?" he muttered.

"Oh no then, I guess I will just open another door!" I sarcastically called back. I gave the knob a jiggle but it just would not turn. "Dammit! Now I will have to find a key!"

"Or pick the lock!"

Oh yeah. . . A pick would be much easier to find. . . "Sit tight boy I'll be right back!" I then ran back onto the roof of the train. Looking around, I spied the gash on the train's other side which we had neglected. Just before I was able to jump in, moonlight flooded the ladscape as a hill seperated the woods and a figure that had my heart beating rapidly. On top of the hill was a man. His blue sleeved shirt was wet, revealing his well built figure. His hands were stuck in the pockets of his black pants. From underneath the fringe of his navy blue hair, I found myself staring into shockingly emerald eyes. He looked back, eyes narrowed, lips curled up into an evil grin. He seemed to be laughing at somethig, laughing at me. . .

I shivered and blinked. The train had sped past the hill and looking back, I saw nothing. He was gone.

My heart was still pounding and I found myself gasping for breath.

Who was that guy? And why do I feel like this? I feel like I am dying. . . like something ripped out a vital organ of mine and left me standing here, bleeding to death. Something about that guy was too eerie, or unnatural.

A blast of roaring thunder brought me to my senses. I looked around again, found the hole and jumped inside. There I came face to face with what seemed to be a giant scorpion with a throbbing green tumour on its head.

Oh great.

Another monster.

I pulled out my gun and it lunged at me, claws snapping. I jumped back and stumbled. I caught myself before either falling toward the beast or out the gap in the wall. I was cornered. "F*k!" I cursed as The beast shot its claw at me. I shot it off and aimed to shoot the throbbing tumour. I pulled the trigger and-

-click.

What the?

-click click click.

Oh crap, now I need to reload.

And because of my gun's delay, the beast had recovered enough to lunge at me with its other claw. With my concentration on the gun, the claw was able to hit me, piercing through my red tee to my shoulder. I flinched and looked over my wound. There seemed to be some sort of liquid covering it.

Just what I need. A poisoned wound while trapped between a huge scorpion and a 20 foot plunge.

And I thought I had it bad when I got a smudge on the final copy of the report I had given 14 hours of sleep for.

At this moment, I would give anything to not be here and have to redo that report again.

With my gun fully loaded, I shot at the creature's last claw and missed. I swore and kept shooting until it had fallen to the ground. I then aimed for the throbbing tumour, pulled the trigger and -BANG! BANG! BANG!- the creature fell to the ground, finally dead. I wiped the sweat off my brow and sighed in relief. I looked over the carcass and found something shine under neath its tail. I kicked over the scaly appendage and found an ice pick. I picked it up and studied it. Yes it was small, pointy and sturdy. I knew it was perfect to pick a lock. As I placed it into my belt, I heard yet another growl and turned to find the dead scorpion's tail speeding toward me. I jumped to the side and it burrowed into the wall instead of my face. I darted out of the compartment as fast as I could. I mean, if that thing still attacked me after death once and almost suceeded, who knows what could have happened had I stayed?!

I walked around the hall for a bit before realizing that I had not been in this part of the train before. Frick. I was going to need to wander to find anything that looked familiar. I groaned.

I was lost in a train that was speeding to who knows where, filled with zombies and other vile creatures. Which reminds me, I was poisoned.

I pulled some aid spray from my pack and applied it to my wound, which I then wrapped a strip of bandages over. I then began my search for the room Juunanmagou was stuck in, thinking over past events.

Poison claw. . . scorpion. . . soaking rain. . . the strange guy on the hill. . .

That also reminded me of something.

My heart was still pounding.
