The Dark Journey

'Foolish Mortal'

As my vision darkened I can hear Emily calling for me. 'Is she crying?' Before I can think on it more the wolf bites down completely darkening my vision as I feel my body be thrown about before feeling the cold air hit my soaking wet body. Now riddled with blood and wounds. 'I guess this is the end now...' As I barely keep my eyes open to see the three wolfs approaching as my eyes close. 'Foolish mortal... have you already given up on your new life already?' Now standing in a void like space with a woman in front of me, her red eyes staring into me as if knowing everything I've done. 'Who are you?' I ask softly already used to such weirdness that's happened already. 'Now now you don't need to know that just yet... But letting you know this is my body and we're both going to die if you give up so easily should be fine~...' I frown as I ask 'And how exactly am I going to fight against three giant wolf's?' She lets out a chuckle with a devilish smile as she walks closer to me. 'We share this body so that means what's yours is mine and what's mine is yours~...' I look at her confused, 'Why does it matter if I die anyway?' She sighs as looks out into the void. 'So pathetic... I have to have you control my body and watch from the sidelines... not realizing the past left you so broken and weak... Are you willing to leave that child all by herself knowing she's in a similar situation as your past?~ I mean I can take over and save us... But I'll let you know that should I take over, I'll kill that little girl too...' She lets out a chuckle as she looks into my eyes. 'My power is also yours now after all... you just have to find out how to use it.' As she circles me. 'I was sealed away and only got out a little while ago... and needing to reconstruct my body I took your soul with me as a cover... and now we're stuck in this together?~' She grins happily at the frown on my face. 'Why did you get sealed in the first place...' 'I jump from planet to planet killing civilization before someone came and ruined my fun...' She sighs 'I healed your wounds this time... but next time I'll leave you to figure out on your own... Anastasia' She lets out a laugh as I feel a burning sensation around my body(soul?) as the once void like cage I was in brightens. Now opening my eyes I stand up looking at the wolves with cold and calculating look as my hands darken forming into claws as red lightning arcs spark around my body. I make a dash towards them, breaking the sound barrier, now in front of one I coldly look into its eyes before slicing its eyes. Now covered in its blood I quickly and brutally kill the first one by dislocating its jaw and ripping it out with strength that's otherworldly. As I throw the massive jaw somewhere into the forest I turn to the other two as the seemingly leader of these giant wolves body drops to the floor next to me. Not even flinching, I look at the two of them and as if sensing their incoming death they flee howling with their tails tucked in between their legs.

After dealing with the wolves I suppress the new found bloodlust from going out of control, as my hands return to normal, I shakily fall onto my knees barely scratching the surface of this strange power. Now looking at the tree Emily is on she looks at me with a little fear but it's overcome by the fact she seems to see me like her mother. 'Stockholm syndrome?' I don't think too much on it as I stand up and head over to the tree. "Want me to come up and get you or can you climb down?" I ask softly as she then nods "C-can you come get me mother?" She asks timidly. As I sigh I start climbing up the tree, quickly reaching the top I hold her close as I jump down.

A while has passed and since Emily got hungry I started a little campfire which took longer than I wanted it too as she looked at me expectingly as she glances at my chest then my face. I look down at my chest then her "No." 'She isn't even a child anymore and don't you need to have a baby or something to be able to breastfeed? Anyway the idea of getting into bed with a man sounds terrible...' I shudder at the thought as I look over at her as she looks like she's about to cry I frown. 'This is so stupid... I'm only a 17 year old that was a guy so why am I being so motherly to her...' As I sigh, which gets her attention, I begrudgingly nod at her to come over. A smile quickly forming on her face as she makes her way over to me now sitting on my lap. 'I'm having second thoughts now...' I frown even more deeply. "Nevermind... get off my lap..." She looks devastated as she now clings to me. "NO! I'm hungry!" She yells loudly as I try to pull her off of me without hurting her. "Get off!" I say frustrated. She clings even tighter as she doesn't look like she pull away soon I let out a sigh giving up as I sit down again with Emily clinging to me tightly.
