Chapter Twenty Four: Green Forest
We had been walking for two hours, and so far Laci would have lost a leg, and Tony would have been decapitated if it weren't for Kell and I. This is definitely not going to be easy. It was pretty obvious that Laci regretted not listening to me when I used to give him lessons. I swung my sword towards my right and sliced the head off of some weird creature that was coming directly towards me. Laci and Tony stopped in their tracks looking directly at the creature that they never knew had been following us. Kell and I kept on walking as if nothing had happened.
"Are you guys coming?"
Kell and I asked
"Yes"
Answered Tony, walking directly over the creature. Laci seemed shocked and walked around it saying nothing. You would think that our order of strength would be me, Kell, Laci and then Tony. But if anything it was Kell, me, Tony, and then Laci. Laci seemed to be the weakest out of all of us, and although I am agile and strong, I cannot use my powers here and neither can Laci. Meaning we have the strength of a regular human. Kell is still a demon. He is stronger than any of us here. Ha, if only I were a demon. Then I really would have been the strongest one here. However being powerless isn't that bad. I feel like not everyone depends on me now, I don't feel annoyed at everything and everybody. I'm able to cry easier and tell people -or demons- what I feel. Yeah, not everything here is bad. I hadn't realized that I spaced out until I ran into Kell's back
"Ah, sor-"
"Sh"
Kell cut me off and in less than five seconds I realized why. What was standing in front of us was not a small creature like the other ones that we had killed. This was a beast. I backed up, took my sword out, and had the guys behind me.
"Tony, about how much time do you think it could take us to defeat this thing?"
I asked
"About a day. We have to find its weakness. It should be its heart. And wherever its at there should be more protection over it than any other area on its body"
"Did you hear that Kell?"
"Loud and clear"
"Good, I'll distract it while you kill it, here, take my sword and give me yours, mine is stronger"
"ARE YOU CRAZY?!"
"FOR F*CKS SAKE KELL! JUST HURRY UP!"
I ran towards Kell and snatched his sword and gave him mine and then ran towards our left
"HEY! YOU!"
The beast turned and looked at me
"YEAH YOU! I'M TALKING TO YOU! OVER HERE! COME AT ME! I BET YOU< YOU CANT KILL ME! LACI! TONY! GO HIDE!"
They both did as I told them without any objections. The good thing was that I had caught the beast's attention. The bad thing was that it was coming directly towards me, and it did not look happy. I ran as fast as I could after I saw Kell got on it. It seemed as if we were playing a game of tag, the beast being it. I'm not gonna lie, it would have been fun if I wasn't in danger of dying. Focus. Who knows how long I've been running in the same circle trying not to get lost. The good thing was that we had left some objects behind so we wouldn't get lost. An idea of our dear friend Tony. My paste was slowing down. I have been running for hours. Everytime I look back I see Kell stabbing the same area. I can't keep running for much longer. I have been running on adrenaline. But I'm exhausted. I slowed down, and it was the biggest mistake I ever made. Kell stabbed one more time and the beast threw itself towards me giving one last attempt to kill me. I yelled to the top of my lungs as I looked towards my left and saw a pool of blood growing bigger by the second and my arm less than two feet away from me, under the claw of the beast.
