(I didn't even have a chance to scream since I was surprised. The air rushed pasted me as I waited for the impact...but it never came.)

Nikko P.O.V.
I felt like I was drifting for a few moments, then I felt the ground softly underneath me as if I was laying there in the first place. I shook my head as I got up and dusted myself off from laying on the ground.
I looked up and noticed things were different, there was light in the well and long thick green vines dangling beside me. I had a feeling that this is different somehow but I was unsure until I figure it out but first I need to get out of the well.
"Huh... I guess these vines will help me get out." I said as I climbed up the vines. As soon as I got my arms over the rim of the well, I looked over and I could not believe my eyes.
I saw open space of green grass and right by was a forest, its like Japan that I knew didn't exist. I sat on the rim of the well as I took my shoes off, not wanting them to strain my feet since they're slightly high heels. I put my toes into the grass, feeling the soft texture beneath it.
Then slowly I put my foot onto the ground, when my feet came in contact with the ground I felt the strong pulse within me once more but more stronger than before, pulling me away from the well, forgetting what I was doing before.
So I didn't go against it and explored my surroundings. A few minutes later, I felt the ground rumbling beneath me, I looked up and saw a giant spider-like creature coming through the forest, it looks down and saw me.
It smiled with long yellow rotting fangs. "Ahh...What luck...something delicious to eat...don't move I want to shallow you whole." It said as it rushed towards me. I saw what its intentions were and I'm not going down without a fight.
So I moved at the last second, it crashed face down into the ground. I saw the opportunity to escape, so I ran into the forest. As I was running, I heard the creature screech in fury and coming after me.
I still continued running hopefully to lose it. A few minutes later, I ran behind a tree alongside a river catching my breath, then I heard splashing and giggling. I peeked out to see what the noise was...it was a little girl in plaid tan and green kimono playing in the water.
I frowned in confusion of why is there a little girl out here. Then I saw the spider creature who was after me had its attention on the little girl, slowly creeping up on her.
The creature was going to attack the girl, I won't let it happen, I will protect her even if its cost my life. I pushed off from the tree and ran to the girl. The spider creature jumped as I grabbed the girl into my arms.
The creature hissed as we were getting away. Quickly after seeing the spider creature, the little girl became aware of the situation but didn't make a move to get out of my arms.
I looked down at her and saw that she was scared. "Its okay sweetie, I won't let that creature get you, no matter what, I'll protect you." I said as I was still running, she nodded in understanding. After a few minutes later, my legs were aching and my lungs gasping for more air, I stopped I realized there was wall of a cliff in front of us.
I panted for a moment and looked down at the child as she looked up at me. I have no choice but to fight but she has to get away. I put her down and kneeled down to her level, looking straight in the eyes. "When the creature comes I want you to run as fast as you can and hide somewhere until I yell for you ok?" I said. She nodded in understanding suddenly, the creature in came in view was looking at me.
"Run" I whispered as she dashed like the wind, disappearing into the woods. The creature hissed at me as it jumped into the air, I moved as it landed near the wall. It screeched as some of it's legs came off and was flipped upside down, I grabbed a thick tree branch and swung it, hitting it in the abdomen as hard as I could.
It roared in fury as it swung its legs around. Unfortunately two of those legs hit me and sent me flying. I landed by crashing into a tree, I felt pain radiating everywhere and my lungs seized for a moment and then I gasped for air.
I looked up seeing the creature was getting back up and looked at me with hatred in it's eyes. It hissed in fury as it came towards me, I tired to move but I couldn't, I was in too much pain and trying to keep conscious.
"You wench... you did some damage on me...unfortunately not enough...I'm going to enjoy devouring you slowly and painfully...(spat)...mortal...you think...YOU weak creature...could harm a spiderhead?...too bad the girl got away...she would have been a lovely treat...sadly she escaped... However you won't...Prepare to suffer!" It shouted as it pounced.
I looked to the sky as I thought at that moment, even at the current situation, even if I had a second chance, I would make the same choices all over again. I look back at the creature as I was awaiting my fate.
At that moment, I felt something within me pulsed again and this time more vigorously. Suddenly, the creature halted on a dime about a foot from me and looked towards the woods.
I did the same as well but my vision was getting blurry and I faintly saw a man walking towards us. I felt that the man was a force to be reckoned with. "Go away...Demon...This is my prey!" It shouted as it backed up a bit.
The man glanced at me and back to the creature with a cold calculated stare. "No...it is not." He said standing still. His voice made me shiver, my heart sped up and the pain seemed to be long forgotten at that moment. He reached to his left side and revealed a sword. The creature hissed as it was ready to pounced.
"You think you can take me down with a small sword?...well then suffer!" It said as it launched into the air, spitting out web-like strings, but the man wasn't there, he was right behind it and he swung out his sword.
The creature screeched as it turned into ashes and the man floated down, gracefully landing on his feet to the ground. I knew then that the girl was safe with the creature gone, but then the pain had resurfaced and it was too much to bear that I was rendering unconscious...Then everything went black.
