Chapter Twenty One: Unexpected
The sun is setting. Meaning we do not have much time. I really did not want to spend the night here. But I guess we do not have a choice.
"Guys, I think we should find a place to settle for the night."
As soon as Tony said that I heard rustling coming from a bush nearby. Apparently I wasn't the only one. Everybody had also turned to see what had caused the disturbance. I had to make sure that everybody heard it however, not just me
"Did you guys hear that?"
Everybody nodded their heads rapidly as if they had bobble heads. I got closer to the bush and reached for it, then I heard a howl, bombs, and gunshots. The guys had disappeared. They had all left me. Why? I knew that this would happen. But…I didn't think it would happen so soon. Even Kell. The only one who I considered to be a friend. Ha. I knew this would happen, yet, why am I so disappointed?
"Red?"
Someone is calling me? Their voice is so faint.
"Hey, Red"
Said the same voice but much stronger.
"Red! Are you okay?"
"Huh?"
The voice belonged to Kell. Wait, what? I'm back where I was. My arm stretched out towards the bush. And everyone was around me. So...everything I just saw...it didn't really happen?
"Red!"
"What? Yes Im-Im fine"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Calm down will you?"
All Kell did was stare at me. But he didn't say anything. I took my sword out of its holster and cut the bush in half. There was some sort of creature there. I looked at Tony to see if he could clarify to me what I thought this creature was
"Tony, is that a-?"
"I-its a...dog. But, what is a dog doing here?"
"He probably got lost. Poor thing"
Said Laci. As Laci outstretched his arms the creature jumped at him and would have bit his neck if Kell had not kicked it.
"That is not a dog"
I said stating the obvious. It attacked us again. But this time I cut it in half with my sword. Blood splashed everywhere. Mostly on me.
"Ew"
I have no idea why I said that, but I sounded like a child. The creature was now dead however. And we all realized that it was not a dog as Tony had mentioned. Its face was that of an adorable puppy, but the rest of its body was all cut, it had no fur, it only had two back legs, and poisoned spikes on its spine. It really is not a dog. After that incident happened we all kept walking and found a place to settle for the night right before the sun was completely gone. Obviously far away from that creature.
