A Blood Red Top Hat

Chapter Seven: Death's Call

I walk pass all the green around me until the ground below me starting to dry, I am still wondering around not know anything, cracks of dry land crawls below me as I walked alone, in the midst of the forest.

Trees are gradually disappearing as I go, until I reach the end of the land and meeting with a big fall, but that is not the end of the map, through the thick fog, another part of Jamaa, I don't even think this is Jamaa or a world that eats up children.

Brown, rocky terrain. Seems like I reached the end of Sarepia forest. And into another place.

Coral Canyon I believe.

I walk near the cliff and hopefully don't fall down. Rocks crackle beneath me, and some take dove down the cliff, into the darkness without any echos of hitting anything.

A cold breath pass by me, I cross my arms in front of me from the cold, the temperature must be dropping by ten degree each minute passes.

I really needed to somewhere warm before I freezes up from the cold.

I walk close to the cliff, starting to run a little, and then breaking a out a fast sprint. The world pass behind me as I run past the mountains and crackling stones, until I stopped for a breather of air.

By that time the air around me weren't very friendly. The world around me is frozen like the temperature right now. I run as fast as I could till the point blood rushing through my veins at the speed of sound.

Still, nowhere to hide from the cold wind. My hands are slowly becoming cold and losing it's consciousness of the surrounding, and so did my foot. The tips of my limbs going numb, until I am not able to feel by fingers. I curl my hands near my sides under the covers of my arms and hoping it could by body warm as I fought through this breath of death.

Time pass, I have no idea how long, It could be just seconds or minutes, but the coldness is taking away my body and my mind, I don't want it. I took a turn, going the direction to the forest, hopefully there have a shelter to keep myself in, run, I said within my mind, just wanting to push myself to the limits not dieing out here. I run a few meter until something cracked.

I fell down, my ankles have given in.

Pain fly around me, from my dislocated ankles to my arms that I felt down on, everything hurts. I never realised water came to my eyes, the pain keeps on crawling, I screamed, out loud. Both from the fear inside of me and the burning sting around my arm and ankle.

And that,

I cried for help

Again...

again...

And again...

But no one came.
