DEAD BUT NOT QUITE GONE
7:30
BLOOD MOON FOREST
A silhouette of a vague figure could be discerned zigzagging through a maze of giant black trees with crimson barks,
carrying a purple flickering light.
the figure will sometimes look behind him then as if finding a burst of inspiration increases his already startling speed sometimes mumbling intangible words
looking a bit closer the silhouette is a young boy of about 15 years, with striking white hair,mixed with red and purple strings, grey murky pupils, long thin nose and a small pink lips that had already turned a bit pale.
looking at the boy one thing could be confirmed and that is the boy is extremely good looking,
like creepy good looking. and on the boys pale white skinny hand was a hexagonal shaped black rock emitting a purplish glow.
(70-90 meters behind the running boy about 15 men in black and white track suits holding what looked like 2034 pulse blasters and running at a speed that was about three times the speed of the boy and with there speed where closing in on the boy.
The one in the lead was holding a pentagonal shaped device with a blinking green light moving very fast ahead.
"Marcus!"
A deep grating voice like a metal colliding against metal rang out and with disciplined coordination the men in black stopped and one of them wearing a different suit this one black with red stripes stepped forward.
'Yes sir ' marcus replied facing the man.
John the captain of the first security squad in the 77 section department of NIERF, national intelligence and evolution research facility,
"Is there any dead end ahead?"
we can try herding him in that direction so I can finish this cat and mouse chase "john asked looking gloomy"
"there is a dark chasm about 100 metres to the right sir"
and it's about 7000 feet drop so we can be sure he ain't jumping down"
Ok herd him there and this time don't let him get away again. John replied nodding.
' SIR YES SIR ' the men shouted then they spread out in an inverted c to the left.
then gave chase
Up ahead when ever the boy tried to change directions the men chasing him will increase there pace forcing to keep heading right till he saw it up ahead about 12 metres to his position.
An abyssal maw shaped drop.
getting closer the the chasm was filled with white fog like substance and red lightning flickering in the fog from time to time.
So the boy stopped.
"give it up little zylla you can't get away this time".
then a few seconds later a voice was head from within the forest and with that John wearing his all black track suits walked out of the forest with his men following behind him.
,"You can forget about any things you planned,
any last escape attempt and just come back with us maybe the organization will have mercy knowing it's you that escaped this time. "John spoke with a serious face"
the boy now known as zylla looked at John as if he was looking at the world greatest fool.
He turned to observe the other fourteen men without speaking a single word or even acknowledging that he was spoken to.
"If you don't come with us we are authorize to use force and god help me I will use it!"
upon begin ignored "said John, angrily while gritting his teeth".
Zylla hearing what he said started laughing and in between laughter turned and finally looked at John
are you stupid or have your brain degenerated to the point that you can't figure it out your self.
With that he reached into his pants pocket and took out the purple glowing stone.
john seeing what was in his hand took a step back in fear while pointing his blaster at the boy
"DEATH RUNE"
"what are you doing have you gone insane"
"John rebutted angrily"
some of the soilders upon hearing what there superior said asked those beside them what a death rune was.
finally Marcus sighed then answered the confused soilders
The death rune was found on planet 7463ca by the organization.
when they found the rune it was the only piece of solid matter floating in the very centre of the planet.
with everything else gas.
that's right gas, nothing liquid was found, there was only gas.
so when the organization found a piece of solid matter floating in the air they naturally took it for study, and immediately they took the rune out of its original place the planet crumbled.
so the organization retrieved it for study.
after three years of study,
the rock didn't react to anything and can't be destroyed by anything so the organization deemed the rune useless.
that was until the scientist that worked on the rune started dying for no reason.
So a new research about the stone commenced, that was when it was confirmed that if you are near the stone for a prolonged period of time you will start being irritable and sometimes lose control from anger.
then after some months you will die out of extreme anger,
so the organization deemed the stone too dangerous and was then sealed in the
"BOX"
how he got it is already a miracle and if we don't contain the stone in time we all are going to die. That for sure.
Everyone upon hearing that frowned then looked at zylla with unfriendly gaze.
before pointing there blasters at the boy then in a cold voice" one of the men said"
give us the rune boy or we blast a hole in your head.
zylla stared at the man for a few seconds and without so much as a word rushed at the gun welding men,
then with the speed faster than the speed he rushed at the men flew out like a kite with broken strings with blood flying into the air.
The boy landed a feet to the edge of the chasm socked in blood before struggling to his feet.
looking at the men with bitterness.
since that is the case we all die here.
with that he reached into his pocket grab a handful of white stones and hauled it at the soilder .
without looking back jumped into the chasm what they didn't realize was when the boy got up the rune in his left hand wasn't glowing purple like before but was scarlet red.
and looking closer seemed to be absorbing the boys blood.
