85 Living nightmare (2/2)

These thoughts could only distract me for mere seconds before returning me back to the grim reality. I felt like a lobster and judging by the colour of my skin I was slowly turning into one.

Despite my constant pain the blood in my mouth had yet to react.

After what felt like an eternity, the blood finally went out of my mouth and slowly of my body into the surroundings. The rest of the blood, that had burrowed into my body came out as well. Leaving my body behind full of holes.

I was finally set free and had survived this ordeal. I wanted to kiss the ground in sheer joy, I do just that when I finally can move my muscles again. I did not bother looking after the strange substance, that left my body. Just being alive was enough for me.

After spending some time lying on my back just staring at the sky. I decided to drop my act and pushed myself from the ground. At first, I was really scared of what I was going to face, but while it was painful I still could endure it.I mean I have been tortured by these maniacs at the beginning in various ways. Whats shifting bones in comparison?

At first, I just wanted to make my partner in crime feel bad to get more benefits. But the strange black substance, that came out of my body gave me an eerie vibe. I have seen my insides and that stuff does not belong there. The blood loss was negligible, all I had to do is wait a bit before it was produced again.

I have seen a lot of strange stuff in this world so far, but blood with a will on its own is an entirely new concept to me. What was the purpose of it returning to my body, only to cause a burning sensation inside of me? Why the hell did it feel like, the blood inside of my mouth was gauging how much I could take before it went away?

I should ask my tenant for information, the next time I talk to it.

But I had to admit, that it had done a really good job, my body felt much better than before. Jumping around I could perform many actions again without worrying about my body falling apart. I finally could train my body again.

The rumbling of my stomach, a noise that I forgot about, suggested getting some food first. Poking a small wound on my arm, I began to fish for some fish again. I could not help but hum a little melody. it had been a long time since I could enjoy life like this.

What I did not know, was that at that exact moment a small drop of black blood was eyeing me. it appeared to be fuming. It had been following me all the time after all of the other blood had disappeared. It waited patiently and called for the rest of the black substance to return to the scenery. It waited patiently before they would commit the next step.

As a storm was brewing behind, me I still had no clue and was gobbling down the fish that were unfortunate enough to bite my arm. Even the fish began to taste good. Everything was just bliss.

I repeated this process over and over again.

The blood had regrouped and stared at me full of anger. I had crossed a line without my knowledge and seriously stained its honour. This was the first time in all of history, that a creature had behaved that way. It had been berated or praised, feared or thanked, but never had it been disrespected like that. No lifeform had done something so atrocious, not a single one.

But this specimen in front of them did not only have the galls, to fake his suffering but to flaunt in front of their eyes. This precedent was not something, that could be tolerated. An example had to be set. They launched themselves at me at a level of speed I deemed impossible.

Just at this point in time, I noticed that something was horribly wrong. I did not know, where the danger came from but I threw myself sideways just in case. I came face to face with the black substance. The substance was not seething anymore it was boiling. Somehow I got the feeling, that the substance was thoroughly enraged.

There was no time to comprehend the situation, as I began to run forward to escape this sudden attack. Behind me came a current of water flying at me. It was faster than me, leaving me with no other choice, than to zig-zag in order to throw it off.

The black liquid was having none of it, as it accelerated once again, it followed me every step vigorously.I noticed just how serious the situation was, as the ant queen escaped out of my body and ran into the direct opposite direction of me.

Left with no other choice I threw myself into the lake and began to dive, hoping for a miracle. But lady luck was smiling at someone today once again. I had a premonition, that this time it was not going to end so well for me.

The black blood streamed flocked towards me, before crashing into my body and embedding themselves all over my body.I doubt, that it had good intentions. Gritting my teeth, I forced myself to move back to the shore, while my body began to heat up once again. But if it was comparable to a sauna just before, then now I really felt like a lobster in boiling water.

Just how ” good ” these intentions were, was something I was about to learn the hard way.
