Falling Apart

Chapter 6

"Are these dead bodies?" I asked gagging in disgust at the smell. The room was filled with dead, rotting corpses. I felt like my vision was cut off though. Like it wasn't right. As I touched both my eyes I soon realized that one eye had closed and had scars running over it. 

"I don't know. It smells like it though." Dranu said stepping into the room. As soon as his foot hit the ground a hole opened up infront of him. He stopped just before falling in. "Lame." He said a little to early.

A DEAD body from near us started getting up from the ground. It limped weakly towards us and I laughed. "What a disappointment." I said pushing the body down so it fell on its back. 

"Nasty little things. Watch where you step." Dranu said quietly. 

"What about you?" I asked him. 

"I've been in this room a thousand times." He said and flashed me toothy smile. I laughed and brought my knife out carefully manuvering my way through the never ending room. As I got closer to the door it just kept seeming to get farther. 

"Ah! Fuck!" Dranu shouted as he fell into a whole. I saw his hands latch on to the ledge.

"Watch where you step!" I said firmly and carefully helped him out of the hole. Then the room went black and I couldn't see. 

"Woah. What happened to your eye?" He asked. I pulled out the eye patch I was keeping and slipped it over my eye. 

"Better?"

"You look like a true killer." I watched his eyes glow a little brighter and laughed. 

"I've always looked like this." I said and began dragging my feet along the floor. 

"Be careful." Dranu said and grabbed my arm as I began to fall forward. "Don't touch the bodies. They'll start waking up." He whispered in my ear. 

"We're here!" The Magician shouted as the lights flickered on and we were in front of the door. 

"The door. Open it. Be very quiet when you step inside." Dranu said slowly. I opened the door and it was pitch black on the other side. I took a deep breath and stepped in, pulling Dranu behind me and shutting the door. "This place is a disaster. He needs to take care of this place better."

A loud growl was emmitting from the other side of the room. "What is that?" I whispered. 

"A dragon snake thing. I really don't know." Dranu sighed. The room lit up in a bright white light and I had to shield my eyes. 

"Holy shit." I breathed as I looked and saw a very tall dragon like creature staring down at me. It had big purple eyes with no pupil and a long body with blue scales and a rows upon rows of knife like teeth that filled its mouth as it had big wings and sword like claws. 

"This place is filled with some messed up shit." Dranu said shaking his head.

"I didn't know creatures like this even existed I thought it was narrowed down to human like forms." I said gaping at the creature as it stuck its long snout inches from my face and breathing hard. 

"If you hit it on this point on the top of it's head, it immediatly dies but regenerates minuted later. You have to hit that spot." Dranu whispered.

"Why me?!" I exclaimed as the creature lifted its head up. 

"I can't see anything because its to bright." He whispered harshly and I sighed in defeat and looked at the monster. It moved its head down in Dranu's direction.

"Is it noise sensitive?" I asked ratherly loudly and I felt its breath blowing my hair back.

"Very." Dranu whispered back.

"Excellent." I said and pulled my knife out and took a deep breath. 

"What are you doing?" Dranu asked.

I opened my mouth and let out an ear piercing scream and Dranu cover his ears at the sound. I expected the creature to be stunned in defeat but it didn't work that way. Instead it got crazy and started flapping its wing crazily and stomping its feet madly. Snapping away at the air. I froze in terror.

"Now look what you've done." Dranu sighed and disappeared. 

"You can't leave me!" I shouted over the roaring and stomping. 

"I'm not. I just don't want to get stepped on." His voice seemed to float around the air. I barely dodged the massive foot that almost squashed me. Its head came down and caught my dress on its massive tooth as I dangled from it. 

"Oh gawd." I said blushing furiously as I pulled my dress around me.

"Are you really worrying about that?" Dranu asked. I sighed in defeat once again and gripped my knife tightly. 

"Here goes nothing." I mumbled and stabbed my knife in its tongue as it shook its head furiously. I was banged against the wall and other teeth. I felt liquid cover me and I smelt the sweet smell of blood. A smell I've wanted for so long. A taste I wanted to fill my mouth with. I NEED this. I felt it deep in my stomach. The blood thirst that has been held down for so long that is now awakening. 

I gripped my knife and cut my dress from around the giant tooth. Its snout continuously snapping and head shaking, I began to fall. But it happened in slow motion. My dress ripped free and I was loose from the creatures mouth. My dress billowed around me and I was letting myself fall for just that second as the blood's smell was devouring me. I closed my eye and snapped it open reaching  out and grabbing a hold of its wing. I saw the blood flowing from the monster's mouth and drip on the floor as it twisted and moved trying to reach me, I sprinted up the monsters back. 

I thought I had it. My bloodlust was pushing me forward towards its head so I could get a taste of the red fluid that leaked out of its mouth. I had lunged forward expecting to get a grip on its head but it lashed out and moved quickly to the side and I fell off the tall creature falling, the floor getting closer quickly. I squeezed my eyes shut and hoped that I would hit the ground lightly. 

I felt a cool tingly feeling like I walked through a sheet of water. As I opened my eyes I was staring at the creature from the other side of the room in pure shock. What did I just do? How did I get over here? (A/N I hate adding these but does that remind you of something from the first book? :3)

"You can open portals too. That'll come in handy." Dranu said reappearing and quickly pulling me into the next room as realization passed over me. 

"I didn't even know I could do that." I said quietly. 

"And they thought they could escape." A voice said from the other side of the dim room. It wasn't light but it wasnt dark either. "How sad to get their hopes up just to destroy them." The voice hitched in the middle and I growled.

"You can't keep us here." I shouted, my voice echoing around us, making it hard to pin point anything with my ears. And my sight was useless in this lighting. My nose was clogged with the scent of rust as the room was old and filled with a musty oder. I couldn't feel my way around, I was holding my knife and I was standing on cool, smooth stone. They did this on purpose. Knocking out all our senses to mess with us. We can't find them but they can find us. 

"Come on. We can do this the easy way, or the hard way." The Magician said in a cocky tone. I felt something start slithering around my ankle. I lifted my foot up and kicked it forward only to be knocked down.

"Hey!" Dranu shouted as he disappeared, a black tenticle gripping the air. Slenderman.

"I could kill you right now." I stated holding my knife and stabbing the tenticle, twisting it and eventually cutting it off. 

"It won't be easy." The Magician said laughing as a burning hand gripped both my arms.

"We don't go for easy." A voice shouted into the room from an opening on the wall I was facing. I watched him step into the light and my breath caught in my throat.
