Chapter 18 - [18] New moon

This could have been an ordinary run under the moonlight, if it wasn't for the 2000 pound walking steak trailing behind us. "ENJU!" I yelled, as she continued to lead me forward by the wrist as we turned around a mountain corner."What is it-" "STOP!" I yelled as I pulled back her arm back as hard as I could, halting her right where she was. And just as she was about to look back and protest, her voice was suddenly caught in her throat as she realises we were surrounded by walls on 3 sides. And 1 by 1, the remainder of the party caught up to us, one even ran into me."It's a dead end..." I muttered dreadfully."FK! We are all gonna die!" yelled one of the player.Down the road from where we ran, a dark shape began to emerge. And it was gaining speed, fast."Looks like we can only fight the thing..." I suggest out of panic."Are you retarded? That thing killed the commander! How the FK are we suppose to kill that thing?" screamed one of the player."No, he's right." Drake lips grimed. "If we're all gonna die, then we got no other option then fight." "En." Thomas nodded. "I agree with Drake, it's probably our best chance...""Well, Fk you all! I am leaving!" Yelled one of the players, as he clicked something on his menu, then his entire avatar just vanished out of existence the next. "Wait, if he just logged out, then maybe all of us..." Before I could finish my sentence, Thomas interrupted:"There is a time penalty for logging out, outside a friendly zone or spawn point. And if you try to log on again, you cannot enter until the penalty is over, and the game is pretty strict on that..." "Yeah, it's not worth it." Drake added."Then..." My voice quivered."There 's no point bitching. Just get behind us and heal us...if we don't get one shotted..." Drake drew in a heavy breath, then readied his club like a baseball player, readying for the pitch.We are all going to die...I gulped.And I can't do shit about it...I curled up my fist.FK! Why am I so fking weak!?Then right around the corner, the Minotaur peeked out its head, before finally making a full turn around the corner to face us.With a nervous laugh, Thomas opened his mouth and spoke: "Well, it was an honour to fight beside all of...""STFU Thomas, you're really not helping!" Drake barked."Sorry..." Thomas scratched his head."Whatever! Everyone get ready!" Drake spoke through his teeth, as you could feel the strain of confidence in his voice beginning to cut loose.Crap, crap, crap...I am going to die, I am going to die...My whole body shuddered like an earthquake, as I could just feel my brain were over heating, to the point of melting. Well, I am going to die either way...Then I might as well...AGRHHHHHH!!!The last part about my thought screamed it's self into existence, and without even realising it, I was already charging towards the Minotaur, staffed raised and my vision tunnelling.There was voices calling out from behind me, but I simply ignored it, as I couldn't stop and won't stop. I felt something stirring inside me, it was the same thing I felt inside when I battled the goblins. It was unpredictable and uncontrollable, and I didn't care, cause anything was better then feeling useless AF.The Minotaur just stood there, completely stunned by my action. In fact, I had no idea what I was doing as well, and as I got into arm reaches of the Minotaur, I dropped and simply let myself slide from underneath his crotch, and luckily I couldn't see a thing from underneath, nor would I care that time. And the moment I successfully slipped past it, I was on my knees and foot again, running, panting, but no stopping. It seemed to take the Minotaur about 3 solid seconds to fully grasp the situation, before the thundering hooves were after me again.Where do I run? Run, where, where? Where?I looked to my right and left, but it was all forest. And sensing the Minotaur only couple of meters behind, I dodged to my left into my bushes. I fell to the ground for a moment, but managed to climb back to my feet on the next, and continued to push myself forward. About half a minute later, I found myself at a small stone clearing where the path lead to a cliff. Without thinking I went over and peeked down the cliff, and immediately gulped. At the very bottom of the vertical cliff was a rapids that can churn your stomach on sight, and from where I was to the rapids was a 300ft free fall.Uh...I slowly averted my gaze away from the cliff, and at the same time, the sound of a deep Moo drew closer.There is no more time...Wait...The Minotaur attacks the way just like the wild boar does!As long it charges at me, all I have to do is roll to the side at the last second, and it will over charge and fall right over the cliff...It will work!With reignited hope in my eyes, I stood straighter and prouder at the edge of the cliff.As the Minotaur emerged into view, it stopped about 30ft away from me. Snorting and breathing heavily. Making me not the only one worn out."What are you...scared?" I gulped in the middle of my sentence.In which it, responded by overlapping my voice with a loud Moo."Yeah, that's right...Come at me you piece of shit..."The comment certainly seemed to anger the Minotaur, as it stamped it's hooves once, then twice, and on the 3rd time, it charged at me on all fours like a truck.Knowing I was ready, I jumped to the side at the last second, causing the Minotaur wiz right past me. Yes, my plan wo-Before I could finish my thought, I felt a monstrous force pulling me back, and in an blink of a thought, I too was dragged into the sky, and descending into the rapids.WTF!?While struggled and kicked while I fell through the air, I caught a glimpse of the Minotaur horn sticking through the edge of my robes. But it doesn't matter what minor mistake I made, cause in the next moment, everything went black. Q: Would you like to try cliff diving?
