Chapter 19 - Chapter 19: Prisoner

"MOTHER, NOOO! DON'T LEAVE ME!"

...…..

"Wake up!"

Sirus opens his eyes widely in shock and fright, gasping for air as he sits up, his breathing staggered. He looks around in fright as tears well up in the corner of his eyes.

He looks down seeing his lower body covered in dirt and sand as well submerged in water.

He feels a shiver in his spine due to the freezing water.

"Where I'm I? And why I'm I washed up against the river? Huff, whatever, doesn't matter, I need to find out where I am." He stood up and patted his clothing trying to wipe off the dirt and sand, but it was stuck onto his clothing.

"Well isn't this great! And my shirt is all torn up, at least my pants aren't badly torn up, guess I'll just take my shirt off since it's basically useless."

He moved both of his arms down, his right hand to the left side and the left hand to the right side and lifted up the shirt over his head and threw it in the river.

"Tsk, I don't even have my custom made shoes that mother bought for me. Huff, now… Why I'm I crying? And why is it frickin black like oil? Guess my blood as well my tears are black, isn't that creepy now. Now I see trees and trees and…. More trees, great, oh, a dock? Doesn't look like there's anything on it from where I'm standing."

Sirus shook his head slowly as he put both of his clawed hands on his hip. He slowly looks behind him and at that moment….

"AHHHHHH! M... MOTHER!"

"What the fuck!? Why is there a human! Shit, I better move somewhere and hide." Sirus moved his right hind leg backwards and felt a throbbing pain in his heel, he fell down in the mud/sand and a small rock hit his left shoulder blade causing even more immense pain.

"FUCK! This hurts! ARGHH! Shit, shit, shit! I… I can't die here! Not now!" Sirus felt agonizing pain but he gritted his fangs and tried to bare the pain, he slowly lifted his upper body and moved his hands behind him as he tried to move backwards, trying to move into the river hopping that he could use the current of the river and flow someplace else before more humans came, but luck was not on his side, as he got closer to the river more rocks and some were sharp that he couldn't touch the rocks as it would easily pierce his child body.

"FUCK!" He cursed loudly as he heard loud footsteps coming in his direction, his heart started pounding hard as he got more frightened for his life every second. One of his hands slipped, causing his body to fall onto the hard sharp rocks, his head bashed against the hard rocks causing the back of his head to bleed, slowly losing his consciousness.

'I… I can't pass out now, n… not now…' Sirus lost his consciousness.

[Thump]

A tall human came running with a sword at his side. With a large build with his ponch sticking out. He wore a brown shirt stained with black substance and baggy black pants, short ginger hair, black eyes and a clean shave.

Along came running with the tall human as she was clinging close behind her father.

A slim build with a black ponytail tied up, she wore a simple red shirt with a white skirt covering her knees, she also had dark black eyes like her dad.

"Where is the monster, Bella!" He yelled as he narrowed his eyes looking furiously for the monster. He couldn't see any monster but he didn't let his guard down, he tightened the sword as he looked forward without looking at her daughter and asked. "Bella, where did you see the monster."

Bella looked around with a frightened expression, she cocked her head and looked up at her father. "Maybe the monster ran away?" She replied

The father glanced down on Bella and sighed as he lowered his guard. With a curious look, he asked. "What did the monster look like Bella? Can you remember?"

Bella cocked her head and with her index finger on her chin she tried to remember what the monster looked like. "I was too scared to look, but I think I saw what the monster looked like. It had long silver or white hair, and, I think, it had strange legs, yeah, that's all I can think of papa."

The father scratched the back of his head as he tried to think what could match the description. "It could be a person with long white hair, but no that wouldn't work, she said it had strange legs?" As he folded his arms whilst still holding the sword he got lost in thought, meanwhile, Bella slowly approached the river she brought her head forward trying to look down the slope and saw the monster lying down against the hard rocks that father warned her not to go near.

"Father! The monster is here!" She yelled as she looked behind with her head while pointing her finger at the monster.

The father shook his head and tightened the sword once more and ran towards the river, whilst also trying not to go near the mud to trip into the river.

He reached out his other hand and pulled away Bella from the slope as he looked down to see the monster.

"It's... Unconscious? What on earth is this creature? It looks human yet those legs say otherwise." He looked at the head and saw black liquid pouring out slowly from the back of the creature's head. But he also notices small horns sticking out on the creature's head.

"It's a creature alright, with the legs and the horns, it looked like it panicked and fell down to the rocks." He stabbed his sword on the grass and slowly and carefully descended the slope, he reached the creature and looked at it for a while before looking up and saying something. "Bella go and fetch me rope, mother should know where it is and quickly come back before it wakes up."

Bella nodded in response and ran to get the rope.

He looked down at the creature and yelled before Bella moved far. "BELLA! Get some bandages as well!" He shouted and heard Bella saying okay.

"What in god's name are you? Claw like hands? Long white hair makes it look human, especially with its skin colour, but man, what on Ozbark is this thing?" A few minutes passed and Bella came back with the ropes and bandages that her dad asked for.

The father tied it's hands behind it's back first and then it's legs, before applying the bandages around the creature's head, stopping the black liquid from spilling out.

He lifted the creature up and placed it on his broad shoulder and slowly walking back up the slope.

Bella walked quietly behind her father as they walked back to their house whilst she looked at the monster's head but she couldn't see the monster's face due to its hair covering it's head.

The sun set down by the time they arrived at their house.
