Golden future (Hunter fanfic)

Chapter 111: Legs

Hunter's P.O.V.

I'm in deep sh!t now! I'm in deep, deep, dee- My leg! It's been grabbed by... Most likely that gross tendril crafted by the old geezer's arm. I shield by face with my arms as it almost hits the hard ground, but there's no need to protect my face as I'm already being pulled up into the air. Flailing in the air like once again, a rabbit caught by prey, the tendril extends slightly to grip onto both my legs, constricting them together as it squeezes. In my sight, I feel like I see something purple tied to his belt under his cape.

Gasping loudly at the pain, I look over to the group in hopes they don't try anything- Edric is stupidly running recklessly to our direction, but Amity who's smart pulls him back with her goo. While I'm hanging upside down, I lift my upper body up as I'm still holding onto the two icicles. And so I cut the tendrils hanging onto my legs.

Belos screeches in agony once I drop to the floor where I cover my face with my arms as a shield again. I'll admit, hearing him scream in pain is something way too satisfying. But unfortunately for me, I try to get up but end up falling in the process.

He must've squeezed too hard... Feeling my legs, I groan as I must've touched a fresh bruise. "GET THEM!" Not often I hear Belos yell. Even in anger, he's always so cal- And looking at him, I can see why he's yelling. Blood pours to the ground with his hands missing as cutting those tendrils must've done this.

"Scoop!" Edric loudly says in the hall, picking me up in his arms and placing me on Rascal who's now in the staff form. "GO! GO! GO!" Eda yells, flying off as everyone else does, one by one. Rascal who's able to teleport, but stays with the group. 

While flying, I feel extra cautious in case off falling to my death as my legs are useless at the moment. In the distance is Belos yelling at the guards to get us, and it reminds me back when I first ran away from here. Good riddance.

"Hunter!" That voice snaps me out of my thoughts. "Hunter, are you okay?!" I just nod at him with my eyelids dropping slightly. Feeling a little tired... No, no! Can't fall asleep now! "He's right. You couldn't even walk. Are you sure you'll be alrigh-" "I'm fine! I'll still be useful somehow." I retaliate, interrupting Luz. 

Amity who flies nearer to Luz looks at me. "Being useful isn't really what she's asking." "Doesn't matter. I'll be fine. I just need to sit for a minute."

(Spelling? And does anyone know why he's tired? There's a reason, but asking if anyone's figured it out.)
