Chapter 2
Gutzy launched a haymaker that almost swept me off my feet as I jumped to the side. The sickening crack that the tree made behind me filled me with little confidence of surviving any more than the one that sent me flying "speaking of which…". looking at my arms i could already see the bruises forming from almost broken arms. Definitely gotta doge those hits.
"Grrrumf!" Gutzy roared as he was already to my side. He brought his arm towards his chest before launching it to swipe me out of my still midair jump.
"I WON'T GO DOWN THAT EASY!" With a yell I twisted myself as best i could with my newfound strength in midair and blindly lashed out with my yellow coated knife. The roar of annoyance afterwards confirmed that i did hit however i couldn't stop the rough landing i got as compensation.
Rolling into it I jumped to my feet barley being missed by the getting stomped into a pancake. I focused all my attention into Gutzy as he offered me a brief chance to catch my breath as he inspected his new wound as if surprised someone actually injured him. I clicked my tongue in annoyance as his arm still retained all its motion.
The berries i had found and grew i had learned all had varying effects when either eaten or applied to the body so i have learned. Yellow was obvious as it paralized its target however there was an added effect of making whatever action you took earlier be repeated. Didn't help me here as being punched one was enough for me let alone twice. Black was a deadly poison to the point it killed everything i've hunted so far so i could only assume it was very deadly.
"GRRRUMF!"
Shit i was lost in my thoughts as Gutzy already was mid swing. I had no choice and charged into his guard. His first flew by me and now i was in his unguarded stomach however i could see his other fist was already cocked back seeming to have guessed this likely event.
"Ohhhhhhhhhh!" I roared as I pushed myself even more. I jumped and ran up his body and ended up face to body with his murderous glare. I slashed at his eyes only to cut slightly through thick eyelids. "Fuck!" i cured and quickly kicked off his face as a springboard as luck would have it he punched at his own face. I fought down a laugh as I touched the ground. Bet he never had this much trouble with any prey before.
The murderous glare he sent me confirmed such thoughts. He arched his back and puffed his chest out and let put a mighty roar that shook the ground. I took the time to apply more yellow paste to the blade. It was my best bet however right now i dont think it will help at all.
"GRRROOOOOMF!"
His roar was different this time and not only that i can see why it's different. His once red fur now was joined with weird black markings that seemed to just slowly crawl onto its body. After what seems to be a few min Gutzy was now from head to toe covered in black stripes with a few spiraling here and there. I still have no idea what compelled me to stay whether it would be curiosity or plain stupidity. All I know is that I'm gonna regret not running when I had the chance.
It was a simple blink of the eye bet Gutzy no longer stood in front of me. He was nowhere in sight. I raised my left arm as a sickening feeling met with realization as an even more sickening cracking mett my ears. Whether by instinct or pure luck my left arm took most of the blow as I was sent flying. Wood snapping, air leaving my lungs, and the pure g-force of myself hurtling through a number of what i could safely assume where trees were all i could even understand.
"BOOM!"
My body crashed into the ground. My vision blurred and darkness started to seep from the corner of my eyes. Any noise I made was made futile as only blood seemed to come out with a vicious gurgle of my mouth. My body no longer responded to any attempt I made to move. Darkness closed in and I could feel myself falling in.
'Come on… move… dammit…" it was all i could think of as not even a twitch graced my efforts. With the last of conscience gracing me only one thought graced my mind, 'dad… sis… mom…'.
Then there was darkness.

?
The rain poured as sirens bellowed around me. People were running around and screaming words I did not understand. Only the crying of my lil sis that i held close into my arms were all i could manage to take. I held her close with her burnt and tattered form as well as mine as I stared at the scene. A raging fire danced in front of my eyes as those around tried to contain it.
Just minutes prior I had been talking with her and then some huge explosion happened and I found my sister and I on the floor of the highway. No warning or anything and just like that everything changed. I could still remember the stupid agument we had all so vividly.
"You got to relax I've got this and you should rest cause you are not looking good".
"I don't need some delinquent worrying about me," She snorted before letting out a quick sneeze. "Besides i gotta make some time for you lil brats."
"Oh what a surprise lets make this woman mother of the year~!" I sang out with as much sarcasm as I could put.
"What was that!"
"Stop being mean please~!" Amelia sang out which in turn got me and mom to bite our tongues.
My mother was a lovely woman with long brown hair and these lovely blue eyes that seemed to know if you've done wrong somehow. Her slightly tanned skin always got my attention as due to being a child. Regardless that was far from what was on my mind. It was all so normal… that was until…
"BOOM!"
Just like that there I stood with my sister staring at what was the last of the family car. All I could do was also simple as the men around me prevented me from doing more.
"MOOOOOOM!"
xXx
My eyes snapped open as the sun greeted my face. "Ughhhhh," I groaned instantly as my body was on fire. With great effort turned to my side which was met with great amount of pain. Having been hit, what was the equivalent of a truck did that to a person. I Dared not even look at my left side as my surroundings took more of my attention.
"How am I back here?" I breathed out as even that almost left me eating shit again, "Well no time like the present". I was back at my safe space, the Clearing. My makeshift sack along with the bundle of feathers in a crudely made leaf sack along with my grown berries put me at ease. With all this it's safe to assume ill not have to worry about anything for a while.
After removing my jacket I began wrapping my arm in a makeshift cast of two sticks and some grass rope I made earlier to keep from adding any more risk of further injury. Another grass rop had it loop around my neck to my arm like a sling. And here people make fun of those stupid survival shows HA!. Still can't stop my neck from itching now can I sigh.
I started taking stock of my equipment. I lost all my knives and my shitty leaf pocket things were nowhere to be found. Seemed like they got knocked off of me when I got smacked. No matter as i got to make work on more albeit slower as i only had one hand in production. I stopped as tears started falling from my eyes.
"Well would you look at that…"
I continued my work after a few min of watching the tears leave my eyes. From a near death experience and that dream it was only understandable that i would feel this way. So why do I feel sadder by the notion? Well it probably means that the small chance of this being some long dream and i would wake up if i faced a similar situation of that of falling from the sky and yet… it wasnt so and all i could do was shed tears but not cry myself to sleep like i've wanted to do ever since i've gotten here.
"I want to be home…" A wish i made to no one.
