Chereads / Rufus: The killing bear / Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: BlackWood

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: BlackWood

Carlos was running through the woods at a crazy speed infact so crazy that he couldn't see where he was going and kept running into trees. Carlos has hit around seventy four tree's but he lost count around the twenty mark and just continued running and once he stopped he was greeted by a familiar site, his cave that he spent a night in. Carlos entered the cave and decided to take this chance to rest.

GRAYWOOD ( City )

The six men were sitting inside of the city favorite bar "The Chilly Drangon".

"So you are telling me that the bear, suddenly started to run on all fours and he ran faster than you?" A man dressed in gold asked dumbfounded

"Yes sir,"

"But, you are the fastest in the city.... yo.. you could even out run a Cheetah, SO HOW COULD HE OUT RUN YOU BECAUSE HE STARTED RUNNING ON ALL FOURS, YOU HAVE BEATEN MANY A BEAR SO HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!!"

"We are all as surprised as you are," Danyel addressed the leader of the group

"We are the BlackWood, the most secret and by all means, The MOST POWERFUL GROUP in all of Graywood so how can a mere bear out run the most fastest person in Graywood?"

"Well sir, this group consists of six people who are the strongest at the selected category IN Graywood, which is the most peaceful country nature wise and therefore the weakest, so maybe the bear came from a higher danger ranked country,"

"Well, I guess that would make sense, awww I can always count on you Irion!" The leader rejoiced in glee whilst running towards Irion

"Please step back from him, leader," A figure dressed in full black stepped in.

"Fine, you're no fun 8,"

"I have a job and a duty, but my duty is different to my job,"

"what's your duty then ?"

"To make sure you don't touch Irion,"

Irion and 8 left quickly after this and soon afterwards Danyel did the same. There was now only the leader and the other two men.

"Alright, you two are dismissed but if you fail again I WILL MAKE SURE, that your family is no more, Now go you slimy skunks!"

The two men left in a hurry and started to talk to each other.

"Just because he's a Royal he thinks he can treat us like trash,"

"well then, guess we'll just have to rove him wrong then, 30 days from now,"

"Yes 30 days from now,"

CAVE

Carlos stood up and made his way to the dead cow he found a few days prior and to no surprise, all that was left was the brittle bones of the cow. Carlos felt like charging into the City that was nearby to ask for some food but he immediately relised that they tried to cook him wnn they first met and that he couldn't speak anything other than bear so he went on his way to try and find something to eat.

Carlos spent around three hours wondering around and he came across two farms. One filled with only crops but non that he has ever heard of so he had no idea what or how to eat them but he also found a farm dedicated to animals and just like the farm previously, it had animals that he had never seen before, so he went on his merry way to find something he actually knew was edible.

It took another hour or so but he finally managed to find crates among crates of apples, pears, peaches and oranges. Carlos jumped into the crates and regretted it almost instantly because, this wasn't a cartoon, so he simply just jumped into a bunch of wood and fruit so it hurt, alot.

Carlos struggled to get up but eventually he got up, grabbed a few apples and pears then ran as fast as his two back legs could carry him. Carlos stopped once he was a couple meters away from the crates he found and started to shove all the fruit into his mouth and swallowing then with a satsfied *Gulp*. Carlos turned to look at the carts and noticed that there was now around four people standing where the fruit crates once were. Carlos had enough of this new bear body of his, yes he thought it was nice to beable to roam free and be able to do whatever he wanted but he was also constantly finding himself around people trying to kill him and having no food or idea of how to use the system he had.

"System?" Carlos muttered out hoping for a response.

"Yes, Carlos?"

Carlos felt utter joy, for the time has come where he could finally use the system he had never even gotten a response out of.

"how can I become human?"

"Absorbtion ,"

"How do I absorb?"

"You aproach a living creature and select absord on the hidden pad,"

"What's the hidden pad?"

"Two Question LIMIT has been reached,"

"what Limit?"

"Two Ques-

"Fine, I get it," Feeling utterly dissatisfied with the system he was given he decided to make his next two question count.

"Wait, you said Limit so does that mean I can't ask any more questiom at all?"

"Tw-

"Yes, I know, hmm guess I'll just have to try and ask tomorrow,"

Carlos went back the way he came and went straight to the back of the cave where it was the darkest and relised he still knew nothing about the System.

"System open, System engage, System start, Open, Engage, Start, Information,: Carlos tried to open the System screen but he felt no anger as he has learned to be patient with the System after going through absolute hell and getting nothing out it. Carlos just started to have a look around at what he could actually see, it took a while for his eyes to adjust but he noticed that the back of the cave was more bumpy then the entrance and had a lot of dirt scattered around. Carlos brushed this off and used one of the bumps of dirt as a pillow as it was much more Comfortable then the flat, cold cave floor and when he clossed his eyes he nticed that he could still see, but this time it Wasn't a cave but rather the Information he had seen from the system before. Carlos figured out how to go through the System in a matter of seconds.

Look up = Scroll up

Look down = Scroll down

Say something = Something might happen

Carlos decided to try and figure out what this Hidden Pad was, it was pretty obvious that it was hidden so Carlos looked all over the system, tryed many different phrases and commands but then he had a thought.

"What if the Necklace of Yabir could be used to unlock this thing,?"
