I don't even have the energy to blush, I just shove him off me and aggressively swipe away my tears. I can't believe I let myself do that.

I've haven't cried in front of someone since my dad left without saying goodbye.

~ F L A S H B A C K ~
I sat alone on our stairs, bawling because I couldn't understand why he wouldn't tell me, why he would just vanish without a trace. The last thing I'd said to him was "can we go shopping tomorrow", then I'd gone to sleep and woken up fatherless.

Eventually my mum came and swept me up, put me in bed, and stroked my hair whispering soothing words
like "it's not your fault" "he wasn't a good father anyway" but that didn't change the fact that he just left me.
He left me.

I was eleven, and i never saw him again. Never dared to speak his name.

"Ya done?" Niragi says, unimpressed, and I glare at him, but stop when I see a hint of genuine concern.

"Tell anyone about this, and I'll rip out your eyebrow piercing and shove it down your throat." I croak.

"Sure darling." He says, adjusting his assault rifle.

I roll my eyes, and scan our surroundings, "that is, presuming we make it out of here."

"Why so pessimisti-" Niragi starts but is cut off by another announcement.

"One minute remaining."

"Crap."

"Shit."

We both say it at the same time, then grin despite the circumstances. Quickly, we both remember ourselves, and he clears his throat, looking away.

My eyes skip past the few red lumps on the ground that didn't make it out, and land on the stairwell. Our last hope. There's only one bear guarding it now, so that looks like our best option.

I don't think - we only have sixty seconds to pull this off - I grab Niragi's warm hand and drag him along until he falls into pace beside me as we run for the cracked stone stairs.

We get there sweaty and out of breath, and Niragi immediately starts shooting at the monstrous bear, then yells at me to run around it. I flinch at the gunshots, but scamper up the stairs, cringing away as the bear swipes at me with its massive paws.

The stairs go up straight for a while, then curve around to the left.

I'm running as fast as I can, insides jolting at the thought that a bear could be chasing me. I'm so immersed in these terrifying scenarios, all which end up with me being bear food, that I run straight into a massive furry stomach.

The coarse, thick fur reeks of rotting flesh, and I immediately cringe back, letting out a surprised yell.

Time seems to stand still.

Then the bear turns its head, opens its huge mouth and roars so loudly I have to cover my ears. Grabbing a knife from my belt, I turn as if to start running away from it, but one paw hits my back and I go flying forward, my nose hitting the stairs with a crack.

I scream in pain as thick blood spurts from both nostrils.

I try to get up, but before I can move, the bear opens its mouth, exposing rows upon rows of unnaturally sharp teeth, and sinks them all into the skin just above my ankle.

It crunches down, through muscle, sinew, bone, and the pain is unbearable. white hot sparks crash through me, waves of excruciating agony rippling up from the bite.

"SHITTING HELL GET THE FUCK OFF ME," I screech in pure, unbearable pain.

I whip out another knife and start stabbing it repeatedly in the head, which is still buried in my leg. I keep stabbing at its eyes nose and mouth even as it's hold inside my flesh begins to weaken.

"DIE! DIE! DIE!" I scream.

Niragi is here too all of a sudden, furiously shouting at me and shooting the bear.

And then it's over. The creatures jaw slacks and it's eyes cloud over.

I whimper as a fiery sensation stabs through my veins, working up from my foot to my thigh. I realise I'm hyperventilating and try to calm my breathing, not looking at the leg in question. I'd also bitten my lip, but not so bad that it was bleeding like last time. I run my tongue over the scar of it in my mouth to try and calm myself a little.

"YOU IDIOT, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?" Niragi screeches, and the sound of his voice makes me realise I'd closed my eyes. I snap them open, scared to drift off to my deathbed.

"Shut the hell up." I groan weakly.

I don't want to die. Please, if there is someone up there, don't let this be the end. Im only 19. I can't die a virgin.

"Can you stand?" Niragi kneels in front of me, gun under one arm, and the other extended to help me up.

I slap his hand away, "I'm literally ok," then struggle to my feet - sorry I mean foot - until a white hot sensation spikes up from my limp foot and I topple over.

Thankfully, Niragi is there to catch me, and he hauls me over his shoulder, "I guess not then."

"LET ME DOWN YOU TWAT." I yell, though it comes out way less threatening than I'd intended, more pathetic injured loser who's foot is throbbing. Oh Aika...
