Chapter 5. hunting the hunters

After killing the two grimsons I started to become curious. I wanted to check out the bodies to see if any clues were left with them. All of a sudden the black forest sprung into a bright burning orange inferno. The trees were screaming at me for help but once again the only thing I could do was run, but then I saw a slight shimmer ahead. The gate! I'd found it! I thought it would take longer but I didn't care I'd found it! I sprinted towards my saviour so fast but I didn't even feel the pain of the inferno brushing past me but when I got there I didn't know where to start.

I spent over two hours trying to get the stupid gate open. But it was no use. The gate was a trick, a big fat lie to keep us in the grim long enough for us to suffer. I didn't give up there had to be another way out. I had an idea. I would fake my death.

When the next grimson came for me, I was ready. I lay down on the cold wet grass waiting. The grimson slowly walked up to me, sniffing me to see if I was alive, then i reached round pulled out my knife and stabbed the creature multiple times untill its lifeless body dropped onto mine warm body.

A pool of blood was leaking from the hell bound creatures neck and head. I crawled out from underneath the lifeless creature so I could examine the mysterious thing.

What I found was gut renching. Inside the creature were human parts. A heart, liver, brain, kidney and lungs. The vital organs had been removed from the past human and used to keep this thing alive.

There had to be another way out of this there just has to be.
I just have to find it.

I thought it my have something to do with the times of tye sun and the moon. Even though the moon and the sun were always different lights the pattern was the same to the concrete walls surrounding the grim.

When the moon was facing the west wall, the forest was on fire, when the moonlight was on the east wall the grimsons came out. Each wall opened a new death trap.

The forest trees never seemed to burn down in the fire. I figured out that that was because it wasn't really fire.  Only gas that burned to the touch made to look like fire.

Tonight the sunlight was facing the east wall not the moon so nothing happened.

It only seemed to be the moon that opened up traps.

I knew I had to get out of here soon. In the 2 weeks i've been in here i've only had water from the lake I landed in and the potato that was in my pocket from home. Plus the biscuits trown down in a bag by unity. I am so week from malnutrition.

While i was lying in a tree to sleep I got an idea.

When the moon faced the east wall tomorrow and the grimsons are let out i will hunt them. And i will find where they get released.

Their entry could be my escape.

Tomorrow I will hunt.
The hunted...
