Chapter 2 - The escape (part 2)

'Fuck, fuck, fuck this is the worst possible thing that could happen' looking back Damian could see two of the wolves looking in his direction. Turning back to the building he knew that this was the only intact building close to him and was the only option in front of him. Seeing this he decided to run as fast as he could and not look back

"Awooooh"

Not wanting to look back at what he knew must have been the whole pack after him he kept on running but could hear their ever improching march of claws. Every step felt like it was longer than the last until it felt as if each step was taking an eternity. 

Looking at the door it looked to be too small for the stalks to be able to pass through so their was hope. That if he reached there before the stalks got him he'd be safe. Seeing the door get closer and closer he couldn't be happier. The closer he was to the door the more hope he felt until he was right at the entrence

*pshhh*

Feeling pain beyond anything he has ever felt before he looked down to see one of the stalks stingers through his chest. Feeling the warm hot blood leak down his body he looked back. To see none other than the pack leader himself staring at him with what looked to be a smile that brought him pure terror and eyes that made his very soul shake.

Seeing the beast open its mouth to take the killing blow. It felt as if the grim reaper was there himself to take his soul. 'I will not end like this!' As quickly as he could Damian felt a newfound determination to try and survive take hold of him.

Grabbing the entrances side he pulled his body forward and in doing so removed the stinger from his chest through great pain. Just as he did so he could hear the snapping of the stalk's jaws. Sending shivers down his spines he knew if he had been any slower he would have died right there. 

Crawling through great pain 2 meters away to a safe spot he could see the stalks try to smash the entrance open. Seeing it not budge an inch to these massive beasts he felt as if he was safe from them for the time being. Just as he thought that he felt an unbearable pain sear through his body.

remembering that stalks inject poison into their victims, Damian felt like a fool for believing that he could escape such creatures and live. Hitting the stone floor he could see his blood fill the grooves that looked as if the were carved into the floor. A long time ago

*Fwoosh*

Not believing his eyes he saw his blood that was in the grooves light up and start making a humming noise not knowing what was happening Damian just wait and watch. Even if he wanted to its not like he could do anything anyways.

Seeing the light get brighter and brighter until it was blinding Damian had to close his eyes and at the same time his consciousness faded into utter darkness
