Chapter 1 Part 2: The Nightmare Begins: Continued.
"Ah!"
A scream of terror rang through the air. The man licked his lips quietly, as if nothing of extraordinary has happened. He laughed a laugh so horrible and so very cruel that you couldn't even imagine it. Lestelle lied on the hard surface of the forest's floor, trying to look as dead as possible. A killer such as him would never be low enough to drink a dead human's blood. But he tore his gaze towards Lestelle. That didn't work, I guess. The man, at the moment, was heading toward her frozen body. I could tell she was trying to run away, but her body seemed to be too paralyzed with fear to move. When I glance over to him, the sight of him and her ripped me apart and she fainted at that very moment.
Apparently, she'd rather be eaten dead than to be torn from shreds to shreds alive.
He then picked her up bridal style and was about to walk away when I did the stupidest thing EVER. I ran out into the clearing and then with all the strength I had, barreled myself at him and punched his back as hard as I could.
"Why you little…" he cursed at me and gently set Lestelle down. Almost as quick as he had put her down he launched his attack at me. I was barely able to dodge! His movements were swift and graceful, but it wouldn't be enough to defeat me. He threw a punch at me; I dodged and did a little move of my own. I placed both of my hands on the forest floor and raised my legs so my foot made contact with his jaw. You should have seen his body fly! The body landed in a small patch of bushes. As I jumped to my feet I brushed my self off, smiling confidently. Finally I could take Lestelle to safety! I was about two feet from her went I was suddenly thrown back, an unknown force pinning me against a thick oak tree.
"G-Gah…" I managed to choke out as blood pooled out of my mouth.
"You little fool do you really think a pathetic girl like you could hurt me?" His voice was angry and cruel. His hand clasped tight over my throat cutting off my air.
"If you follow us, you will be killed do you understand me, wretch?" he asked me that and squeezed tighter. I weakly raised both of my hands to his large hand and was able to pry his hand away just a bit so I could breathe, I greedily took in mouth fulls of new rich oxygen but they tasted like the copper in my mouth so I coughed. A small and weak smirk appears across my lips.
"You will suffer in Hell… you bastard…I will come after her and I will kill you, you can count on that. I will never give up."
His eyes burned with anger and his face crinkled up into a sinister snarl. My eyes widened painfully as he struck me hard in the stomach, he then began to throw me around like a pathetic rag doll. After what seemed to be hours he slammed me into the ground. I gasped loudly and began to cough up more blood. My vision was beginning to get hazy as I laid there looking at the set of feet walking toward me, I was gruffly pulled upwards by my shirt.
"Not so strong now are you, girl?" His breath was hot and sweet on my face as he spoke but he only leaned in closer to whisper in my ear. "Just face it. She's mine now and there's nothing you can do about it…" And with that he struck me a few more times before walking back over to Lestelle and picking her up the same way as before. I felt so useless there on the ground. As he picked her up bridal style, I could feel my stomach turn. What in the world would this guy do this to Lestelle? He could've just killed us both and have been done with it, but apparently he didn't (Maybe he just likes to play with his food.)
"L-L-Lestelle…" I murmured weakly as I extended a hand towards her. But she was soon gone.
"D-Dang it… It appears that I've failed you again…Les…telle…" I took in one final breath as my eyes closed and I lay helplessly on the forest floor surrounded by blood. Hours passed and no one came to help, well how could they? This was a remote part of the forest! Well, the last time I checked. Soon my chest relaxed, was this what peace felt like; and slowly the beating in my chest stopped.
