What Lurks Within

I'm Taken Into My Allies

So, what was I able to do but follow this person?

Sure, they could be an axe murderer, but I wouldn't care, as long as I got out of this forest of death.

The person before me was a man. He had tan skin, and was wearing black jeans and a tight fitting T-shirt.

This was obviously the kind of guy who had girls swooning at his feet.

He looked at me with his blue eyes, his sandy hair sweeping slightly as he turns his head.

Woah.

This sounds like some kind of commercial.

Anyways, he waited for an answer to his request.

"Um- uh- okay..." I respond, sputtering slightly.

We end up going down an alleyway, in which we find a door at the end. The guy steps away, and says "Go inside. I'll keep watch."

Right as I'm about to respond, he literally sputters blood towards the ground.

As he leans down, I see a cut dragging across his back, being made by something invisible.

The skin seperates, revealing the yellowish-red muscle underneath.

I spot multiple vertibrae of his spine.

He looks up, a scared look on his face, his skin drained of all color.

His eyes then turn a shade of red, and he says "We're after you, Michael Starrickson."

Then his hands lift up to twist and snap his own neck.
