Then I Fought

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I ran that's all I could do, I needed to get away from them. I didn't bother to look back, I don't want to see what was happening back there. I kept on running even if my legs were begging me to stop, I couldn't let them catch up to me, I had to get away.

I didn't know how long I ran for but when I stopped I found myself by a stream, I Collapsing onto the ground nearby it not caring in the slightest. My lungs trying to suck up as much oxygen as possible and my legs burning from all the running.

Once I gained just enough energy, I started to crawl toward the stream as I look into it, I saw my reflection peering back at me. I looked exhausted and I most certainly felt like it, I noticed within the reflection that the moon was out upon looking at it had craters on it making a shape of a unicorn. 'Griffons, Big lizards and now a unicorn on a moon just great' i didn't know what was happening but I didn't care for now.

I cupped my hands and scoop some of the water not worried about the taste. It was refreshing, to say the least, I even splashed some of it on my face to try to cool off. Once I got up I slowly made my way toward a tree When I got there I took off, dropped my backpack and slump on it. ’It's getting late and then I'll be in real trouble when the wildlife starts to come out’

My mind started to wonder about what just happened. ’Griffons are real and they want to hunt me down’ I laughed ’if I ever tell anyone that they would call me crazy’ knowing full well that no one would believe me. ‘But what was that lizard?’ now that got my brain going, remember when it walked past me when I took a peek at it, It was a behemoth of scales that had two wings glued to its side and a sharp pair of claws.
“A dragon?” I thought out loud There was no way that it was a dragon they aren’t don’t exist but then again neither are gryphons. It felt like I lade there for hours trying to process what happened.

’Where am I?’ now that I'm thinking about it all started to sink in. There is no way I'm near my home, Country or either planet for that matter. Because Dragons and Gryphons are not real but then what did I see, Was I in a coma, am I dreaming, am I hallucinating or am I just crazy and haven't recognised it yet.

The questions just kept on piling. Then a sting of pain roared out from my right arm. “I almost forgot about you” I hist out. I slowly begin to take my shirt off wincing each time I try to more my sleeve. Once it was off I looked at the gash which has dry up a little which isn't as bad as I thought it was but enough to still cause problems.

I got back up and made my way towards the stream to try and clean my jacket. The water wasn't dirty, in fact, it looked clean
But looks can always be deceiving. After washing my right sleeve of blood I contemplated if I should use the same water to try to clean my wound I chose against it knowing with my current luck it will probably get an infection.

And then I heard it.

*snap

something just stood on a twig. I turned my head to the source of the noise looking for whatever did it. I slowly got back up with with my jacket in hand, I then see two glowing soulless eyes staring back at me from the tree line. As it came out I was baffled at what was walking before me.

A statue of wood that in the shape of a wolf. Looking at it brought more question that I don’t have answers to. I knew for a fact whatever it was it could outrun me but I was tired of running at ever sigh of danger, I was tired of being hunted down and I was tired with all these mythical creatures.

I dropped my jacket to the ground, then searched and picked up a rock off the bank of the steam. The rock itself was ok in size enough to fit in one hand but now I begin to look towards the statue of wood.

It chose that this is the perfect time to charge straight at me. when I noticed the sudden movement of the statue I threw myself out of the way landing to the ground. ’ it's fast really, fast.' I told myself only barely escaped the jaws of death.

As I get back up the wolf charges at me once more but this time it rushes towards me latching on to my left leg. I started to Bash its jaws in with the rock until it let go of me whimpered and backed away.

My leg being now being useless to run with I no longer have a chose to run anyway if I need to but by the looks of thing, I should have just run when it showed. I tried to stand up putting as little pressure on my left leg as much as possible.

The wooden statue stares at me as it begins to growl with its blood-soaked teeth. I try my hardest to ignore the pain that is and ready myself from my attacker. as it got close it tried slashing its claws at me but ends up missing it's me as I try to walk back from it, it carries on with its assault until it launches its self at me

I get pushed to the ground with the back of my head slamming to the floor, my glasses flying off my face and then the rock falling out of my right hand from the pain that erupting from my gash on my arm.

As my head is ringing the wolf opens its jaws and thrusts its head towards me, I desperately use both of my hands to force its jaws from collapsing on my neck.

“Fuuuuuuuuuuuck” I screamed out in pain I tried my hardest to keep its jaw from closing but it seems that my hardest isn’t enough against this thing as its jaws start to slowly close and as my hands start to fail me.

I panicked and retaliated by kneeing them into their underbelly it backfired on me when I released that this things underbelly was also made completely out of wood it didn’t even faze the damn thing but it sure did hurt my knee.

I then began to place both of my legs under it and propel them to my left side. Once it was of me, I begin to rush to pick up the rock from my right side then I looked at my other side to see the wolf getting back up.

Seeing an opportunity I brought down the rock with my right hand into the wolf’s skull again, again and again until I heard a sickening snack come from it.

My breathing is ragged, my heart is racing and now the pain in my hands, arms and legs became a lot more noticeable so I dropped the rock that is now covered sap and fell to the ground.

I started crying from the sheer amount of pain coming from all over my body. I started crying from how bad my situation is. I started crying for all the reason on how this shouldn't possible and I started crying for my family. I sat there briefly knowing full well this isn’t gonna help me.

I look pulled my now blood-soaked hands in front of my face. ‘Now this is something that I thought I would never see’ I said to myself while tears are still running down my face.

I slowly got up and limbed toward where I left my jacket on my way there I picked up my glasses, It was split in half and the lens on the left side is now cracked I begin to fold each side then put each piece into my pockets.

Once I got to my jacket I struggled to rip both sleeves but eventually managed it, I wrapped one around my leg and tour the other in half again to which I tried to use it for both of my hands.

I heard the sound of wings dropping behind me then started to hear one of them talk, it didn't matter I knew who they are and that they are looking for a fight but how they found me is another question entirely. when I turned around I was expecting to see all five of them but there was only three this time.

Maybe the other two died from that dragon. It didn’t matter I chose to wait for one to attack.

I begin preparing myself for the worse only to heard a another set of wings behind me, I twirl around only to be met with a something smashing into my face to which my body dropped to the ground and everything start to go dark.


Author's Note

Again point out any spelling mistake if you see them.

The only problem that I think I have is pacing I feel like these chapter are to short but I don’t know, can I get a second opinion on it?
