Chapter 135 Meeting Face to Face (1/2)

I walked through the forest, lost in my thoughts. 'A creature I can't see is even stronger than me. No wonder that guy warned me about the north. I will go there anyway. Maybe that was just some kind of freak creature, just like the Black Mammoth I encountered with Shelly' I thought. I lifted my head up and looked at the clouds drifting through the sky. 'Eh, if only Shelly was here with me' I thought and then lowered my head to look in front of me.

”Impossible!”

I exclaimed. ”This is not real, is it?” I said out loud again. What I saw standing in front of me, was… Shelly. ”Shelly?...How?” I blurted out. I had no other words but questions only. How was that possible? Was it really Shelly? How did it survive? And many more questions ran through my head.

I ran towards Shelly while screaming ”It's good that you are back!” but instead, Shelly run in opposite direction and I lost the sight of it between the trees. When I finally arrived at the place where I lost the sight of Shelly, it was no longer there. ”What the hell is going on? Shelly?... SHELLY!” no response whatsoever.

'I must be hallucinating. Shelly is dead, how could it appear here?' I thought as I started to move again. Not long after, I heard something move behind me. I turned around and called ”Shelly?” but it wasn't Shelly… it was Nick this time. ”How? What is going on here!?”. I was confused. Was I hallucinating? Was my mind playing tricks on me? or was this real? I could no longer distinguish that. Nick looked like the usual him. The same clothes, the same expression on his face and the same posture.

I said ”Nick? Is that really you? You've died a long time ago. How come you are here?” but Nick didn't say anything and ran towards some trees. I tried to catch up to him but I again lost sight of Nick this time. ”Something is wrong here. Shelly and Nick are dead. I saw them die, how could both of them be here. This isn't real”.

I looked around and found nothing. I calmed myself a bit and turned around towards north. As I took couple of steps, a rustling sound came from behind me again. I turned around and shouted ”What are you!? What do you want?” but what I saw shocked me again. ”Dina? I killed you myself, you can't be here. This is fake! I'm not going to fall for it!” I said and convinced myself that what I saw in front of me was not real. It was all fake.

Then I heard a voice ”Yes, they are all fake. You wanted to see what I look like, but I don't really have a form”. It wasn't the voice of Dina, it was the voice of the damned creature that stalked me for days on end. I lost my calmness completely. What replaced it was boundless rage.

”BOOOM!”

The ground shattered underneath me as I launched at the creature standing in front of me. I extended my fist and punched. ”BOOOM!” I didn't manage to hit the creature but the place it stood on. ”You will die for that” I said while my instincts took over and sped towards a new location.

”BOOOM!.... BOOOM!.... BOOOM!”

I could somehow find the creature using my instincts as if I had a compass built inside my mind that pointed my in the general direction of the creature. The rage inside me bursted and a new aura was born inside of me. The air seemed to freeze. The world started to change and I caw everything in red. I then felt unimaginable thirst for blood. ”You will die for doing that” I said. My voice full of malice and thirst, thrist to see death and destruction.
