The Afterlife

IV- The Lighthouse

Warning- Bad language, Blood, Vomit

After we got close enough to the lighthouse I turned my way to Locus and I simply asked " Do you have a weapon?" Which he answers by summoning a gray and dark blue pistol. "Why do you need it?" He asks while giving me the pistol "The reason I might have come here is to grab something that's mine by default. In this case... my necklace, to give me the rest of my portal powers so that I can access the Overworld, and because I don't know what will happen might as well be prepared if a fight occurs, you should be prepared too" After I said I saw him summon a book that I'm going to assume is the famous book of spells.

I count till 3 and then open the door quietly. We silently enter on the dark room that has stairs connecting to the top of the lighthouse and we see the thing that I have to take my necklace from. An enormous beast with enormous teeth, tail and nails. And of course it has the death symbol which means that if Death finds I killed their pet I am fucked.

I walk silently to near the beast. I feel its warm breath, I walk closely to where the necklace is and.... I grab it. I silently celebrate until I see Locus face and he looks terrified. "What?" He points behind me and I see 2 big blue eyes looking directly at me "Well fuck"

The big beast attacks me with its paw making me hit the desk and bookshelf behind me. I quickly grab the pistol that I had hide in my clothes and I point at it. From the corner of my eye I see Locus starting to use spells against it.

The first if a blue fire ball followed by others more small while the second summons a sickle that looks like its from the Grimm Ripper . The beast gets hit by every single one of them and in panic it starts hitting its tail in everything....and everyone. Locus gets hit by it on the stomach which makes him fly to the wall which causes an enormous bookshelf to fall on him.

"Locus!" I ran towards him trying to take the bookshelf out of him "I'm ok. Don't-" he stops himself and vomits a blue liquid that is also known as blood. Because his body isn't normal as the other creatures his blood is blue but it works just as any other blood. I help him get out of the bookshelf and to take him out of the lighthouse but before I could do so the beast runs towards us.

I push Locus to the side making the beast only attack me. It takes my whole body in its mouth closing it , but it doesn't take long for me to open its mouth and go to its head. I shot one of it's eyes and it screams because of the pain. I ran through its body jumping out of it on its tail. I was close to the floor when I put my hands on it and ""crack"" I hear it break.

After that I fell on my back and roll till I hit the wall making me look everything upside down. I finally get into a better position and I notice my right pulse broken. "Ugh, fuck fuck fuck fuck. MOTHERFUCKER" I scream in pain and agony because of my pulse.

I look over to Locus seeing him trying to stand up and failing miserably, I need to protect him, I thought to myself. The beast stops trying to fix its eye and looks over to Locus running towards him. Before reaching him, I grab my pistol and aim at its head with my left arm, making me miss the shot and hitting its cheek instead. I keep shooting it till I finally hit its weak spot making it fall over to the floor dead.

I look around noticing the mess and the cracks on the lighthouse making me assume its going to collapse soon. I then look to Locus standing but supporting his body on a cane with a wooden crow craved it in. I grab my necklace from my pocket making the pistol hit the floor and I ran towards him.

Guilt fills my body for making Locus do this and getting hurt. I was so selfish only thinking on myself and the necklace without realizing I was putting him in danger and making him do something he didn't wanted to. When I finally reach him I help him stand better and whe walk out of the lighthouse in complete silence.

When we finally got out I heard the lighthouse fell behind us making dust and sand fall in our eyes, we cleaned it up and then he opened a portal to his house.

Before we got it I grabbed his hand with my left hand and quietly said " I'm sorry"
