Day 4
I think I just made contact with other beings. I'm probably just going crazy and hallucinating after drinking so much lake water, but it all seemed so real... Hold on a second, there's no way I could possibly explain my encounter with... well... whatever it is that I encountered, unless I start from when I woke up, so that's what I'll do.
I rose to the sound of my chickens clucking away, so I thought I should eat a couple eggs for breakfast and head out to the lake. Maybe I could find something about my past in that seemingly magical place... or so I though. I had no idea what would actually happen when I got there.
After crawling through the tunnel that leads to the lake, I sat up on a nearby boulder and just relaxed. For the past few days I've been working myself ragged, so I figured that I would spend some time enjoying all the progress I'd made so far. That was when it happened.
Suddenly from the opposite side of the lake a bone-splitting shriek yelped over the surface of the water. I immediately realized that the voice belonged to another human who was probably in trouble, so I ripped the nearest branch off a tree for a weapon and ran in the direction of the scream. When I saw what was happening I nearly froze in bewilderment.
A teenage girl was desperately hacking away at the wall of trees with a hatchet, trying to make an opening point for her to run away(even though her actions were obviously futile). Behind her was a... um... I think it was... a zombie? Well whatever it was, it was slowly closing in on her, and there was no way to escape in her condition.
Any normal person would've ran as fast as they could in the other direction, but not me. I've survived four days already on this crazy land, and there was no way I would back down no matter what happened. The fact that there was another human besides me could lead me to finding out more about this forest... or even more importantly, about my past life.
Sprinting as fast as I possibly could, I jumped in the air and smacked the thing so hard that it's head literally flew off, but that wasn't enough for me. I had no idea what this thing was, and there was no way I'd let it get the jump on me after lowering my guard, so I beat it to a blood pulp.
After my hands were bleeding and scarred from destroying the thing, I finally allowed myself to relax a bit.
Worst. Decision. Of. My. Life.
The second I turned around, the girl hammered the top of my head with her hatchet, and I blacked out.
When I came to, the girl was gone, and so was the corpse of whatever it was I just killed. Even the branch I used to fight with had vanished, and that was when I noticed that my surroundings were completely changed. Somehow I was moved back to the exact spot that I woke up on for the first day, but this time I had no supplies to accompany me. At that point the same five words kept racing through my mind, blocking out all other thoughts.
"What the fuck... just happened?"
After wandering around for the entire rest of the day, I finally found my cave again. Sadly, all the chickens were gone. All that was left were the items I kept inside the cave(the mini-stone, this journal, some eggs, and my tools.)
When I finally managed to pull myself together, I started tidying things up a bit. First I made a big nest near the cave entrance and put some eggs in it, so more chickens would be able to hatch. Next, I gathered all my things together and made sure nothing was missing, and nothing was. Lastly, I started up a fire, cooked some eggs to eat(which I am getting very tired of) and laid down on my bed to write this entry.
Now that I've gone over everything that happened today, I plan on re-reading it multiple times before going to sleep, and thinking about how I should approach all the craziness that happened. Good night to myself, and I pray for a slightly less hectic day tomorrow... Although that prayer is probably in vain.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed the first action day of One Lonely Survivor! If you like action-packed stories like this, make sure to stick around because very soon our little protagonist is going to be thrown into a world he's never expected! Also, if you are a fan of the slower more journal-like style, don't worry, for I have no intention of leaving you behind! Although there will be a lot more excitement coming up, i'll never abandon the descriptive survival side of One Lonely Survivor. Also any reviews or PM's about anything having to do with this story are greatly appreciated!
