Chereads / A Dead Spirit´s Journey / Chapter 4 - Escape

Chapter 4 - Escape

Run faster or your damn pet will catch us. Why is it so fucking persisting. It was not so energised when we fought before.

He lost his reasoning. He only sees red right now. And will only stop when he tears us to pieces.

At the very least we do not lose stamina in this spiritual body and can continue to run. But running forever is no fun. Why can´t you just tame him again? You must have done it before. Right? Just do it again.

Are seriously trying to compare those two things? I tamed him right after he was born. You could say I was the first thing he saw. I engraved myself as his pared in his mind. Now that his mind is no more there is nothing I can do.

Just let me think...

WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW!?

Where are those strings coming from?

Before we noticed there are spider weebs everywhere around us. Had we noticed them just one moment later we would have run just into them. We managed to evade the one right in front of us. But it was to late for the bear monster. He is now connected to it and the more he is trying to get out. The more entangled he becomes. Those strings are sucking him dry. They are absorbing him till he disappears into nothingness. Just like this. The same thing is happening all over the place. All of the surounding warriors are struggeling and are getting absored into something which looks like a split cocon in the air.

BUMP BUMP, BUMP BUMP, BUMP BUMP, ...

There is the sound of two heardbeat coming from the cocon. They are beating in the same rythm. As if they would belong to one beaing and not to two seperate ones.

I can only watch and feal an instinctal fear from them.

..... m.....e ...

A fear that is coming from deap within me.

.....mike.....

A fear that left me paralysed.

Mike!!!

Come one. We must go. This is our chance to escape.

Richard? How can he still move in a situation like this?

Nearly all of the monsters have been absorbed already! If they all get absorbed before we are out that thing will be focusing on us and then we will surely die. Come on now. Do not just stand there! Or have you not noticed. The feeling that we had before. The one that restricted us from going out from here disappeared and is getting weaker by the second. We can escape now!

Escape?

YES ESCAPE!!!

But where to?

Does it even matter? Everywhe is better than staing here. And it is not like it matters where we go to. We are dead after all.

You are right. Sorry for losing myself. Let us go.

He is right. Our first task is to get out from this cocon as far as possible. Afterwards we can think more clearly. But it realy does not matter which direction we are going to. There are no waymarks that would tell us where we are. The is only sand hundred of kilometers of sand in every direction. The only reason we did not lose ourself on the way here is because of the guides that accompanyed us.

Come on. We are nearly out of here. Just a bit more. There are less strings the farther we go. We can do this.

And we are out! Let´s run farther and see how the situation is.

From a sand dune with a higher altitude you can see the whole chorror that happened here. There are still blood red pools what the previous battle but now there are corpses. Dry out corpses hanging in a spider weeb with a cocon in the air. It is gigantic and extends for more than 5 kilometers in diameter. It makes one speachless. But instead of becoming bigger the web are getting smaler. As if the corpses alone are not enought nutrient for the cocon anymore and is absorbing the strings which are slowly getting useless to feed themselves.

Hey Richard. Thank you for bringing me out of that thing. I do not even want to imagine what would have happened if you had not woken me up there.

Do not worry about it. You would have done the same. So how about traveling together? I do not know about you but I could need to company.

Sure. It is not like I have anything better to do for now. And it is not like we even know where to go. So let us just go in one direction. Till we find some signs of civilization and decide then. But as far as I am concerned everywhere is better than here. I just know that I do not want to be here when those things inside those cocons wake up.

True that. So let us go in the direction opposite to that thing.

Two got away Sis.

They may try. But nobody can escape true death. Soner or later we will see them again. We know where they went.

Let´s hunt them. That will be fun. Let´s tear them to pieces hahahaha.

Hush brother. Firtst things first we need to finish the ones who are left.

But that is no fun.

So do it faster. First the job. Then the fun. We still have to cleanse those poor souls.

But it is so boring when they are just sitting still. I want a fight. A worthy opponent who refuses to accept true dead. And they looked strong.

Strong people would not have run away from us. They would have disapointed you.

Tssss. At least they would have been better than his garbage.
