It has been forever and a half since I last posted a chapter on this but I am hoping to fix that soon as I now have a lot more time on my hands than before, thank you for the support and all kinds of feedback is welcome (good or bad)
she slept for a whole day, I stayed back for the day eating the food from yesterdays hunt and sat down beside her, she was snoring lightly and mumbling in her sleep, every now and then I got a word or two. The sun was at its highest when a small wooden box slowly floated down from the sky and landed at the girl's feet, she was still sleeping when it landed and it had the same iron latch as the chest in the cave, I tried to open it but it would not budge, then, I noticed it. The small wooden box had a name carved into it, " Piper". I thought about it for a second and I assumed that was her name. I slipped the box into her hands left her for the rest of the day
the last sliver of sunlight drowned in the waves on the horizon and the night sky darkened with every second the monsters appeared in ones and twos until the forest was filled with these nightmarish creatures that I avoided most desperately. But this night seemed... different than the rest. The air was light and the monsters seemed to be walking slower than usual, spending more time hunting.
My head hurt and the memory of a stormy night filled my head, I was sitting in the waiting room somewhere with my sister outside we turned to the sound of shots and screaming. A man runs in and tries to grab my sister, he had a gun in his right hand. The police ran in and the man held a gun to her head yelling something about painkillers and held my sister hostage. In my mind I am terrified but that is soon overcome by another thought, my sister.
Before I knew I was doing it I had jumped onto the man's back and I started to choke him. There was a shot, but I held on and finally the man fell to the floor. I landed on my feet and looked looked down at the man. He was covered in blood but I couldn't he a cut. I fell into the arms of someone and I looked at myself. I was covered in blood too but this time I found a wound, in my side there was a hole and blood was gushing out, the man wasn't bleeding, I was. The world tilted and my vision blurred. And everything went black.
As the memory ended I let loose a cry pain as something sharp hit my leg. A spider leg gabbed the edge of platform and climbed over. My sword was still with piper and I ran back to get it, the spider chasing close behind I managed to get a hold of my still sheathed sword and club the spider, It hissed and stepped back. I tried to use the time to unsheathe my sword but the spider took the second to pounce and together we toppled of the platform and we hit the ground... hard. Whether it was luck or practice I rolled upon hitting the ground, the spider was not so talented as it hit the ground with a sickening snap and it flailed for a few more seconds until It died in a plume of black smoke. There was no blood other then from my own cuts and where the spider had died there lay a page I picked it up and put it into one of the pockets of my cloak. Other then the letter and smoke there was nothing left of the spider.
I couldn't question the disappearing body, I didn't have the time. Already the monsters that had been combing the woods were gathering along the the bushes. Slowly staggering forward a zombie was the first to make its move, its rotting green skin and gashes were a foul sight. The zombie seemed to speed up and it reared its head preparing to bite and it never had the chance to stop as I separated it from its neck with ocean reaper. Slowly the rest of them advanced into the fight...
