Chapter 6: I Won't Save You
I looked around the building to see if I can find a way back inside. I had to make sure Leslie was safe. I walked around the fortress. I was very tall with a slight decay of the concrete that held the structure up. It reminded me of the hospital. I walked to the side of the building and that's when I saw it. I've never been so scared in my life. A huge monstrous creature that stood ten feet, had maybe two heads and was very slimy looking was no more than ten feet away from me.
The beast seemed to be asleep. I look at it and looked around it. There was vines on the wall a few feet away from the beast. I needed to get to Leslie. I wondered if he was alright. I hoped that Sebastian was with him to keep him safe. I had to figure out what I can do to get past the creature, climb up the vines and get back into the building to look for my white haired friend. I'm going to have to test my fear and see if I can sneak around this dog like beast.
I took a deep breath and as silently as humanly possible I attempted to sneak past this creature. I slowly inched my way across the what looked like a courtyard. I looked around as I slowly snuck. I saw a few of the people I saw Sebastian shooting at before I ended up out here. They were minding their own business eating whatever they were eating. The beast was still asleep by the time I got midway there, who would I see standing by the vines.
Ruvik stood there, watching me as I froze in place. I never really got a good look at him til that moment. His robe was singed along with a good deal of his body. I understand how he became a ghost. Something in my gut was making me uneasy. It could have been the way he looked at me. Those cold eyes. What I don't understand is why he's following me. I started to slowly walk over again. Maybe I could possible talk to Ruvik and reason with him.
It took a bit but I made it across. Now that I'm by the vines and by Ruvik, I am going to have to make a bit of a choice. Either talk to Ruvik and confront him or just ignore his there and go up the vines and find Leslie. I started to climb up the vines the best I could.
"Where are you going?" Ruvik asked me
I froze. I wasn't expecting him to talk to me. I had to answer though, "U...Up."
He didn't say anything for a while. I started up again then he spoke. "You can't have him you know."
"What?" I asked
"Leslie. You can't have him." He said again.
"What are you talking about?"
"You can't go." He stated
"Why not?" I questioned.
"I need you." He told me.
I looked at him with great concern on my face. "Excuse me?"
Ruvik turned his head to look at me. I looked back at him. "I'm not scared you know. Of you. I just need to get to Leslie. I wish I could make you understand but I have a need to be with him. To make sure he's ok. That may mean nothing to you but it means the world to me. So if you know where Leslie is, please tell me."
Ruvik smiled, "You remind me of someone dear to me. I need you."
I climbed down the little bit I climbed and looked at him face to face. "Why do you need me? What will you do if I go with you?" I asked.
He didn't answer. He just stood there. Staring at me. His eyes seemed not so cold anymore now that I'm close to him. I saw what was hidden behind those eyes. A frighten child. As of any of us. Reminds me of Leslie. I want to be with him so badly. I want to keep him safe.
I looked at Ruvik, "I'm going to go find Leslie now."
Ruvik said nothing. He looked like a statue. I felt a little bad. Maybe he's like Leslie and just wants someone to talk to. Someone to be his friend perhaps. If that was the case, he wouldn't try to kill Sebastian, Leslie and myself. I walked away from Ruvik. I didn't get far before I blacked out.
I woke up in a hospital bed. I was kind of relieved that I was back inside. Was it all a dream? I sat up and noticed my close were drenched from the rain. It wasn't a dream. I got out of bed and walked over to the door. I looked at the floor and noticed a trail of blood leading to the wall. I looked up at the wall and I stood there for a moment. Writing in blood was the words: 'I won't save you'.
