Man 1 and Man 2 kept on running as fast as their legs could carry them. Not that they could outrun the beast following them. Just like a hawk chasing a chicken. It was a death sentence and death race, but as long as there's life, there's no fucking hope.
Oh! You thought they would escape?
C'mon look at the situation.
The only thing reducing the monster speed was the watery floor, despite that it's just few strides away from them. It could literally smell the gas coming out from their asses. In addition to this, it kept on crashing on other tanks, thereby causing them to puncture.
As the tanks get punctured, the pressure from the tanks caused the tank hole to suddenly enlarge, thereby exploding. With these explosions came more fluids, an advantage but more beasts, a greater disadvantage.
The only reason they are not dead yet was because the monsters chasing them were not hungry, just curious.
'What are these things? So tiny and yet they run fast and their urine tastes like sugar and salt. Are they food? Cause they are definitely not babies'. Yeah, that's what the monster was currently thinking.
Oh, sorry. My bad. You didn't know. Evil laugh.
Cynical right? I didn't give you a better description about these beasts, reason for the apology. The evil laugh was because I did it intentionally.
These creatures or entities were demons offspring. Literally all the type of demons you could name. Every one the humans know about and the ones from myth, legends or folklore were created here. In those pressured tanks.
And they are sponsored and controlled by some certain world billionaires for money? No. They literally have enough. Power and Control? Yes.
Each monster has it own special build, characteristics, powers and abilities. For example, this one chasing these two men have a 20 feet height, slender body, properly arranged 12inches teeth, long arm and length, body spikes, speed, and human intelligence.
They are as good as dead.
But they kept running. Other entities, big and small which just came out of their tanks became curious too and joined the hunt. With more fluids comes much more fetid smell. The smell alone is enough to get these men killed and collapse their lungs. But they kept running, as long as there is a road ahead, there's possibility of being saved.
After 3 days of staying of staying over at Martha's abode, Chase was healed enough to walk or drive, not fully healed, but he could do basic things like meeting up with Orion. Martha had taken full responsibility for his care, his medicals, feeding, and of course, sex.
Yesterday night, after 4 rounds, Martha had discussed with Chase to find Orion and discuss with him. As at the point, Chase was too wasted to rebel the suggestion. He just agreed half dozing. Martha had been the dominant one in bed, since Chase was still healing up, so she had to do the most riding.
After their conversation last night, Martha climbed him one more time for another long ass ride. She was in her early 30's, so don't query her sex drive.
By morning, Chase felt raw and refreshed, he could literally feel a bounding source of energy inside him. He couldn't help but notice her cologne all over him from last night. Even her smell was irresistible.
Martha was already up by the time he opened his eyes, so he just stood up and went straight to the washroom.
He came out of the washroom wrapped in Martha's cotton white towel. He had dressed up by the time Martha came in. She offered him a cup of herb tea and a kiss.
"Going to meet the boy?" Martha asked.
"Yes, I'll be going to Cape Town specialist to meet him" Chase replied.
"Get a hoodie, you don't want your face exposed, remember the CCTV caught your handsome face" Martha said.
"Hmm, see who's flirting. Well I have to go now. See you with the boy later" Chase replied while going out of the room.
Chase knocked on the door and entered the room. Orion who had slept on the chair while laying his head on his mom admission bed, was awakened by the door closing. With his blurred vision, he could observe a black silhouette, with a half covered face via a hoodie.
Grunting, Orion asked, "Who are you?" Using his back hand to rub his eyes.
"I'm sorry for your loss and your mom, I'm here to tender my apologies and work with you. My name is Chase".
Orion squinting his eyes, "Ahh, I know you. I saw you in the breaking news at...You shot my dad" Orion said plunging at Chase.
Chase stood taking all the blows and hit Orion threw at him, "You killed my dad, you killed him" Orion had cried with one blow slammed at Chase chest per statement.
After Orion had cried with no more tears in his eyes, Chase has dragged him to his seat and spoke with him.
"It was a morbid misunderstanding between your dad and I, your mom also was just collateral damage". "We were dealing with bad people and we fought ourselves out of ignorance, I'll accept anything you have against me but for now, we have to work together to get these bad guys".
"Why do you think I would believe you and want to work with you?" Orion frowned.
"I told you, you don't have to believe me, but for the sake of your parents, you'll only get them justice if you work with me".
Silence.
Chase extended a piece of paper to Orion, "This is my contact, whenever you change your mind". "I have to see to see Mr Rodrygo".
"What? You know him too?" Orion asked surprised.
"I'm sorry, but yes. I shot him too". Chase answered with his head down.
Man 2 screamed, "Watch out!".
Looking to the side, a Rhinoceros like monster with long tusk and massive build came galloping at top speed and slammed its tusk into the other man. The blunt force was enough for the 45" tusk to pierce into his body like hot knife through butter. The man could only look into the beast shining eyes, looking down to see his own blood streaming down the tusk of the beast. No scream, no cries, the level of endorphin in his body wouldn't make him feel a thing. The beast had flung him away to an unverified distance of at least 12 metres.
Man 2 just stood there, as his leg failed him, after seeing his friend been pierced and flung away like sewage bag. All he could do was fall to his knee and cry. The other beast had rallied around him.
Watching with peak curiosity, they stood there sniffing, poking and pushing him. Just like a horror movie about to start, the biggest monster among them raised his 10 metres sword like arm and brought it down upon the man.
