The Monster Within Us

Chapter 32: A different type of figure

As I was heading home, I found a note that was in the kitchen. I walk up to the note and read it carefully since the writing of it was cursive. A handwritten language that most people do not understand and if you tried, it would take months or years to learn.

"We are gonna be busy for the next couple of days, meaning you need to find food for yourself to grab. If you want to, you can buy food for us for when we head back home. It is your responsibility to clean up the house and do some work while we are gone. Take care of yourself, alright?" -The guys

After I read the note, I put it down on the table and went to my room. I put the bag of money on the floor, next to my bed and went to the bathroom and did my business. After I did that, I look in the mirror.

Still normal I guess. Damn, I actually got rid of some actual bad people. I hope the hostages are doing okay, I just hope I don't cross paths with them again for their own safety... -I said

After I left the bathroom, I put my mask back on and went to the store to buy some food for everyone else. I went home to put up the groceries and head outside yet again. When I walk outside and went to back to a forest far from home but a city nearby me, I heard a scream, it sounds like a person was screaming for help, like someone is dying.

I was actually getting a bit worried at first but I still went to the sound anyways. By the time I went there, they was already gone. I didn't see their body at all, but blood on the ground. I examined the blood: it was fresh. I knew someone was here, probably watching me.

I know someone like me is here, show yourself! -I said

As soon as I said that, a black figure jumped down and landed on me. I looked around and my vision is not red, but the figure is pitch black. There was heavy gun shot on it's chest and it has the same razor sharp teeth like mine but much more bloodier. They was wearing a hood as well and they had claws coming out from it's hands. Their eyes are bright red. They pulled their arm back and ready to stab me when all of a sudden, it just stopped. I had my eye opened, thinking if I was dead but it's arm was still there. I then opened both of my eyes to see it lowers it's arm and let me go. I was breathing heavily as I got up. I brush myself off and was still shocked after what I just saw.

What the hell?! What are you! -I asked

...

Hello! Are you able to understand me? -I asked again

Silence fills the forest, I just see the figure, standing there, arms out and it lowers it's body a bit, almost like a werewolf would do. I then see one of his claws going back inside of it's body and I was kinda grossed out by it. It was able to do that the whole time. It then walked up to me and ripped my mask off, I was surprised he didn't stab me on his other arm. It reached it's hand out, asking me to hold it's hand. I did that and it dragged me to somewhere. After for what seems to be hours, we arrived at a area that I don't really know about. I wasn't familiar with the place, almost like it's new to me.

I was then greeted with some weird people, they wasn't the same type of species as me, humans, but with dark or light green skin tone.

Wait.....this thing bring me to zombies?! -I thought

The figure was confused at what and why I was shocked. It can tell by my emotions and faces on what I feel and act. The figure brought me to a couple of zombies. They tried to walk up to me and tried to grab me, almost like they was gonna eat me, thinking they brought a actual human here but the figure threatens them by having it's claw near their necks. The zombies backed up immediately. I couldn't tell what they are saying but the figures dragged me to another area. Apparently a human was there, waiting for us. They was tied up and the figure walk to it and stabbed it, it then cut a hole into the human and just left it there. It then points it's claws at the now dead human and then to me, telling me to eat it. I did just that. Eating it's guts, organs and it's limbs. It felt satisfying. I then walk up to the figure and ask it why was I here?

The figure points at me and then at it's teeth. I then come to realize, it was just like me.
