Killing To Live

Chasing the infinity

Moshi staggered to his paws gasping for the first time in the new body. He looked back at the killers distracted as they argued. He turned running away as fast as he could. The ghosts smiled following quickly behind.

Elizabeth smiled "you didn't tell us you were immortal!" she said excitedly. Moshi shook his head eyes filling with tears "because most others take advantage of that! They have me test out inventions and rescue missions. They don't care that I feel every single bit of pain. Every death hurts. But they don't care." He said sadly "I don't want to die!" He howled.

Coelho snarled "then why live?! Why exist if you can't help others?" He questioned. Moshi looked at him "I-I do I'm just not going to risk dying again just to do that!" He hissed.

Abigail had been hunting Moshi since she realized that he was immortal. She was now sneaking up on him as he slept. She watched him, slowly she scrunched up and pounced quickly she hooked her claws into him. He was awake and struggling hissing with pain.

Abigail snarled "struggling only makes this worse sweetheart. You'll die either way." She purred gutting him. Stepping back she watched him decay. Repolho growled as he pounced on Abigail the two tumbling on the ground as Moshi stood up and stumbled away.

Repolho pushed away from Abigail chasing after Moshi who was now running. The ghosts sighed. It has been 3 weeks and 8 deaths since they found out Moshi was immortal. Repolho has claimed 4 of those plus the first time. Abigail has 4 from Moshi.

Elizabeth looked ahead she felt a pull like when she found Moshi. She swallowed "we have to go north!" She said. Moshi shook his head "North into the shadows? Are you sure?" He asked looking at the ghost. Elizabeth nodded "I feel the same pull from when I found you Moshi!" She explained. Coelho exhaled letting his soul become calm "I feel it too" he said quietly "it's on the mountain. Demons don't tend to like cold right so maybe it'll be high enough to ward the demon off" Moshi shook his head with disappointment "not my demon they don't care the temperature. They only seem to be held back by the suns and other demons" he explained.

Elizabeth looked ahead "we have to go something or well more like someone wants to meet you" she said to the immortal being. Coelho had been thinking lately about Moshi and why he could see the two of them. Finally he spoke up "can you see other spirits?" He questioned. Moshi looked over "well sometimes yeah only wandering spirits which is what you guys are" he explained. Coelho nodded "how can you tell?" Moshi shuddered slightly "Wandering spirits bear their death wounds" he muttered quickly. Coelho nodded slightly "I think I figured out why" Moshi lifted his head eyes filling with hope. "Really?" he asked the spirit. Coelho nodded "I don't know if other immortals experience it but maybe it's because you died already. Your soul is now tied to the earth as immortal but at the same time a wandering spirit." He explained. Elizabeth nodded "it does make sense" she said. Moshi looked at the two nodding thoughtfully. 'Were there others like himself?' He wondered silently looking at the dusk sky. Standing up he turned "we better get going. The demon can sense when I'm in the shadows." He stated "luckily they're bonded to walk the distance so we need to get where we're going before they find me." He began walking north seeing the mountains. 'Who was there? Why did they want to see him so bad.' He shook the thoughts from his head. He shouldn't worry about that now.

Soon he was on the mountain unluckily he could hear and feel Marcel nearby. He shuddered at the thought that they could be so close. He looked around sensing so many eyes on him. Elizabeth hissed "she's closing in!" Coelho shuddered "he is too! We better get our tails in high gear before one of them guts you" he said sorta jokingly but mostly serious.

696 nice!

Why the mountains? Well demons in this world live in the sea. So who might live in the mountains?
