Chapter 18 - An encounter with the monsters

Henry went slowly with his left hand touching on his cheeks. This was a clear indication that he was feeling lonely. The planet was so scarery since no single human was freely moving. He walked around confirming if he could find anyone to talk to. Fear engulfed him as he went. Life became too tough for him since he was the only one from human race who was very free from the monsters. He was leading a desperate life making him to get determination in fighting the monsters to set the human race free.

Henry was now at the age of eighteen years. He had grown tall and dark. As he was moving, he saw a silent open house. As he was feeling thirsty, he entered into the house to have some water. The house was as silent as a deserted cemetery. He moved slowly but very keen in observing every dark place of the house. In the dining room, he saw some food at the table. He went to confirm the status of the food only to get welcomed by an odour from the rotten food. He moved closer but the smell was very strong chasing him away from smelling. He knew something wrong had happened to the owners of the house.

He took his gun out accompanied by several bullets. This was a sign of danger in the house. Henry went on to investigate what had happened to the house owners. He moved from the dining hall to the sitting room only to be welcomed by dry blood traces on the floor. Henry was shocked making him to remain stand still on the floor. He clearly knew that the monsters had attacked the house and most probably killed the house owners. He began moving and checking in the darkest places in the house. He was so keen with his gun ready to shoot. He was attentively listening to any sound in the house just to be sure with his safety.

Henry followed the blood remains in the house to find the route the monsters used to escape after killing the residents of the house. After a moment of thorough search, he heard a motion in one of the rooms in the house. He knew something was in the house. It could be harmful or less harmful but since it was a chaotic error, he made a conclusion that it was something dangerous to his life. He made quick preparations and became very alert to face anything that he could encounter at that moment. He moved slowly towards the room but very keen.

He used his eyes to multitask in the room. He was observing every place keenly though it was somehow dark. No sooner had he moved inside the room than he saw a monster lying on the bed comfortably. Henry stood where he was and immediately took a step backwards slowly. He was sure that the monsters had not seen him at all. Something unique ran down in his mind. He reduced his breathing rate not to be noticed by the monsters in the room. With a wise say, "let the sleeping dog lie," Henry at first time tried to put it under practice. Moving backwards could give him ample time to get ready for the fight.

He thought of tactics to apply in such situation. It was something difficult to come up with a conclusion because he was not sure of the numbers of the monsters occupying the house. Him calling other individuals to help him in the fight could put more lives under danger hence he decided to face the fight alone. He arranged everything in order ready to face the monster in the house. He then moved inside the room again as slow as a tortoise. He cocked his gun immediately he neared the door of the room. The door was wide open though it was not well light. Henry entered the room ready to shoot. Fear and anxiety in him could not allow him to move very close to the monster lying confortably on the bed. Henry decided to shoot from a distance leaving room for easy escape.

Henry made a courageous move but unfortunately, his body touched on a plastic chair. This was the time the monster became alert. The monster roared in the bed as it raised its head to check what was happening in the room. Henry decided to make random gun shots targeting the head of the monster.The bullets were hitting the monster but there was no change observed. The monster moved towards Henry very fast ready to swallow him alive. Henry added several bullets to kill the monster but the same results were noted. This was the moment Henry realized that the monster had developed resistance mechanism against the bullets.

A giant dark monster quickly moved towards Henry. The force of the monster threatened Henry making him to run away. This was a tactic to go and try other methods since the gun was of no use during that time. He never threw away the gun since the monster could have taken and used it against him. He made a quick response on the matter by settling on the use of spearhead and arrows. The monster was still coming towards him. He made a shot while still in motion. The shot missed the target. As Henry was moving in a backwards manner, he unfortunately felt down in the house. He knew he was going to die soon. He tried his level best to move while still on the floor.

The angry monster quickly came to finish him. Henry quickly stood up and used the furniture in the house to defend himself. He used chairs and tables to challenge the monster. He again made a guess by shooting an arrow. This time round, he was very lucky to target the monster at its left bottom side. The monster shouted in pain but it didn't fell down. Immediately after the sound from the monster, Henry heard alot of movements in the house. He sensed danger. He again made a shot but missed since the monster had also noticed that it was in danger.

Henry ran in one of the rooms and locked himself there. He looked around the room and saw a sword that had been stained by blood. Henry came to a conclusion that the owners of the house had at a time fought the monster but were defeated. He decided to use this sword in a do or die war. He had not even relaxed for a long period of time before the door was knocked hardly. He didn't wait for the monster to break the door, he moved towards the door to open. Before he even made any move, the door was broken by the monster exposing him.

Henry took the sword and entered into the war. He had sweared never to uncover the magic metal. The monster entered the room to swallow him alive. Henry went down on the floor and passed between the legs of the monster. Since he was on the floor, he was unable to attack the monster. He entered the room which was much spacious leaving a clear field for war. The angry monster followed Henry into the room. He made a quick conclusion that he was going to use the sword since the monster had no resistance power in such tools.

Henry showcased his skills by moving up and down to threaten the monster but this was something almost impossible. The monster was beyond threats. He noticed that it was nothing else than just a fight. He randomly passed the sword in air aiming on the monster. Henry was lucky enough to cut a finger of the monster, something that he didn't expect at all. The monster shouted again in pain. This time round, a voice of the moving creatures was heard. "Help, help, help, help," the monster shouted again. Henry saw a crowd of other monsters merging out from from different rooms.

Henry had done a very big mistake attacking the house occupied by such dangerous monsters. This was a matter between life and death. Within no time, Henry was surrounded by many monsters. He strongly held the sword and entered into war with the monsters. He was to face the situation just the way it had happened to him. Being in the midst gave him an easy way in fighting and protecting himself. Getting away from such a situation wasn't an easy thing. Henry deployed different techniques to fight successfully.

Henry began fighting the more giant monsters to threaten others.He started his fight by passing the sword in air mercilessly. The monsters had no fear hence moved closer to Henry. Luckily, the sword got one monster and removed the head. The other monsters moved a step away from Henry. The monster that he had sliced the head felt down indicating its end of life on the planet. A mechanical voice then echoed in his mind.
