Fallen Stars

Chapter 56:Chaotic Dimension

Simon-

The handcuffs around my wrist become a clear liquid as they free my restrained wrists. The Nitaves told me that I would be placed into the Nitave Dimension to battle other Shiners like me.

My name is Simon. I'm a sixteen year old Shiner and I live with my uncle in Michigan. Yesterday is the day when I was captured by the Nitaves. Now I'm dressed in dark clothes and forced to battle for my life.

The would-be battlefield is vast. Pristine snow-capped mountains are hundreds of feet to my right. A volcano is about two-hundred feet to my left. In the distance is a large and circular meadow with tall skeletal trees surrounding it.

Past the meadow is a field of dark dirt. To the right of the dirt field is a icy wasteland with a gray huts scattered throughout, like a maze. I'm standing on a beach and I can hear water raging behind me. I turn around, studying the small lake. Where the lake ends is a barren desert with weird rock formations located on one side of it. On the other side of the rock formations is a dark cave, but something inside it is glowing.

I focus my gaze, trying to see how vast the arena really is. A red Nitave force field surround the arena, I'm going to have to find a way to escape. I begin to hear shouting, then a teenager steps into view.

The teenager is tall with a athletic body, like me. He's holding two knives in both hands.

"Look, I don't want any trouble." I tell the teenager, cautiously backing away.

The teenager doesn't listen to me, as he barrels towards me. He's about to stab me with a knife when another teenager arrives and commands him to stop. The athletic teenager whirls around and kills the other teenager with one of his knives.

I turn and dash away, the murderer teenager pursuing me. After a few seconds of running, a muscular horse-like creature with wings swoops down and bites the teenager's head off. The knives drop onto the beach's sand.

When the monster turns to me, I swiftly equip myselves with the knives. The monster gallops towards me, then it's swallowed by a giant worm-like creature. The worm monster looks at me with it's tire-sized yellow eyes, then it burrows into the sand.

Rapid footsteps are heard behind me and I whip around. There are dozens of teenagers sprinting towards me, running along the lake side. At first I think the teenagers are going to kill me, but that thought changes when I catch sight of the dozens horned wolf-like creatures chasing them.

"Run!" A redheaded teenaged girl yells to me, as she passes my trembling form. I join the teenager, aware of the other teenagers who want to murder us. The redhead leaps onto a tree and begins to scale it.

Tree climbing is easy for me, my deceased older brother taught me how when we were little kids. I take hold of a tree branch and follow after the girl. We manage to position ourselves on a sturdy branch about fifteen feet above ground.

I watch the crowd of teenagers and monsters disappear within the woods.

"Do you think they'll be okay?" I ask the girl."You know, the teenagers."

"Some of them will, but as you can see-" The redhead says, then she points to a dead body on the beach that was obviously torn apart by the wolves."-some people weren't so lucky."

I swallow hard, my heart beating rapidly.

"The Nitave Dimension, the homeworld of the Nitaves." The redhead says, as if she still can't believe she is here.

We watch as the volcano erupts, sending streams of blue lava into the forest, then we both hear someone scream. The volcano erupting must be the sign that night is arriving, because the sky above becomes dark blue-like the Hollywood darkness in the movies where they use blue light to give the illusion of night.
