The Black Cat

Chapter 29 Pain

I struggled helplessly.

In the grasp of a long snake was not the destiny I had to die in. This is a vision though. Nothing can really harm me. I smiled and dropped my hands from my neck.

The grip of the snake did get tighter and it did become harder to breath. Nothing happened through. The snake did not do anything else.

I smiled as I knew how to conquer the vision.

Then every sound began to sound distant and my vision began to falter. The dream must be over.

"Lives are so little for you humans" a small voice hissed just underneath my ear. "One second you're alive and the next...pop."

I suddenly forced my voice into a high pitched scream of absolute terror.

Four sharp fangs tore into my neck and ripped into flesh.

I was alive for a moment and then everything faded into a black.

I cried.

It was a strange feeling as a human. The tears were salty and created a pain in my chest.

My terrible predicament got worse in my sleep, not better. I laid on ground with two hawks pecking at my legs. One was a grand golden while the other was a large honey color.

I wouldn't have been in this situation if I could move. My body was so numb and all I could do was blink.

"Please," I manage through a still mouth. The once blue sky was now filled with dark clouds.

This was not a dream I finally realized with a single drop of water falling with the sky. This was part of my wish. This...suffering will help me in getting my wish. Painful...as painful as it is,

I suddenly found myself yelling out as a beak fiercely tore into my thigh. My hands flinched and I dug into the ground.

One sharp screech from bird sounded and the other looked up towards the sky. The honey colored one looked at me and clicked its beak, "Flood."

Both birds suddenly took off towards the sky.

With my sudden relief, I shut my eyes and let go of my pain.

I woke up when I felt the intense feeling of water stabbing me. It wasn't the soft rain I was used to. It was nowhere near. Black clouds above shouted and spit pure white light.

My arms pulsed with a massive blood blockage in them. I now felt them, but they hurt like being pressed from the inside with a rolling pin. That feeling is terrible. I remember when Raymond Markson rolled my tail with it while I was half sleep.

A wicked crash of thunder brought me out of my dream.

I shook my legs until they woke up and were able to slowly aid me in making my way out of the grass. Thing was...something was different.

I rose to my knees and bent the grass. It barely parted before a hiss startled me. I rushed back and heavily panted while I cut the grass straightforward.

"Where'd you go child? There is nowhere where you should be."

I held my breath as I crawled through the thick forest of bold grass. Surprising that something so simple could lead to a death.
