I was caught and crashed on the floor. I thought the monster caught me, and I felt real terror gripping me. But when I turned around, I realized it was Henry who caught me, and to my horror, I saw it was the monster that caught Henry's leg.
He kicked it with all his might, but it did neither let go of him nor did he let go of me.
"Let go!" I kicked him as we were dragged away by the monster.
The next moment, I felt a knife slicing through one of my calves, and I nearly screamed out in pain. Looking back at Henry, I noticed that he had rammed a knife into my leg.
"You are coming with me!" He yelled at me while the monster took on speed, galloping backwards.
Fuck, I trashed around and hit Henry on the head a few times before my second leg was punctured by him. All the while, rocks and roots got me injured as well.
The animal got even faster, and my surroundings started to spin. Finally, the pressure in the air changed, and I blacked out completely.
*********
When I came to, I lay in something like a cave. Everything hurt, and it smelled vomit-inducing. My legs felt damp; they seemed to be still bleeding. I had something tightly gripped in my hand, and touching it, it was my phone.
I pressed a few buttons, and it turned on, giving me a bit of light in the fucking darkness. What was before me seemed to be a hill.
I turned the phone off in absolute horror.
After controlling my breathing while trying not to smell the stench, I dry heaved a few times, before turning the light back on. This was a small hill of corpses.
I gagged a few times and forced myself to observe my surroundings. When I turned, I heaved a sigh of relief. I was at the entrance of a cave; the forest was really near. The corpse hill was in the cave, so I wouldn't have to crawl over it to flee.
I really didn't want to look at the corpses, but I involuntarily did. These were all torsos, with their arms and legs in skinheads. Awfully similar to Henrietta2's corpse. So this monster got her. Are we already in the parallel dimension?
No idea.
It was dead silent, and I took off my sweater, then my shirt, before putting my sweater back on. Then I ripped my shirt into shreds... (ugh, this word) and bound the wound at my legs. This motherfucker. If I get my loyal dog, I will beat him brutally before ordering him to disappear from my sight, and that forever.
"Ah."
I heard a rustling before everything went silent again. My heartbeat quickened. Damn it. That was Henry. And it came from behind the corpse hill. DAMN IT. FUCK THIS SHIT. I LET YOU BEAT AND CHOKE ME, I TOUCH A CORPSE AND DIE, LET YOU ACCUSE ME, GIVE YOU MY PHONE, LET YOU DEFAME ME. YOU DON'T HEAR WHEN I SAY SHUT THE FUCK UP AND INSTEAD OF SLICING THE MONSTER, YOU SLICE ME. NOW, YOU WANT ME TO SAVE YOU?
I chuckled inaudibly after screaming in my head. You could go and die, you fucker. As if I'd crawl over a shredded torso hill to get you. No way in hell.
Trying to stand up, I managed somehow, albeit under massive pain. I dragged my steps away, making a little circle before coming back again.
Fuck. Hero complex, I have it. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. These motherfuckers die fist if they aren't the MC's.
I needed a good minute until I could bring myself to touch the torso hill. I stepped on a dead body and gagged at the softness. Taking another step, I again gagged, my eyes tearing up, nearly getting unconscious. Fuck.
I pulled my sweater over my nose and continued, focusing my all on some math questions. However, I had to stop every few steps; the bodies moving with me climbing on them were damn difficult to deal with.
It was cold, but I think the adrenaline held me warm for now.
When I felt like I was on the small hill, I shone with my phone, not seeing a sign of Henry. I pulled my sweater down and dry-heaved again; the air I took in while doing so made me vomit acid.
I slid down the torso hill and only landed on more torsos. Fuck, how many people are there? No, no, go on and do math.
I crawled around and looked, and finally, I shone at something black, along with hands, arms, and legs. Finally. I crawled to Henry, who lied in what seemed to be a torso as well.
Seeing the motherfucker, I punched his face.
"I swear, you fucker, I will kill you someday." I whispered while bending down. Touching him, I flipped the coin, revealing it in my palm. Black, correct future of Henry, the woman's eyes uncovered.
Before coming back, I saw that the monster was not anywhere near. He was just lying on this hill for what seemed to be a long time.
When I looked at him, I saw that his eyes were open, fixating me through the light.
I brought my fingers to my lips and pointed in the direction of the exit. He just stared at me, and I held my middle finger in his face. Seeing him not react to that either, I held his nose shut until he grabbed my wrist with too much strength.
Ripping myself away, I turned around and put the sweater over my nose again. Crawling back up to the torso hill.
I heard Henry following me.
Good job. I thought you wanted me to carry you out.
