Destiny

Chapter 5

  Ouch. That hurt. As I rolled onto my back off my belly-flop position. I tried to get up and pain shot through my ribs. I'm surprised I didn't break anything. Or maybe I did. Maybe I'm really hurt, and don't know it. Maybe I'll never make it. Maybe I'm going to die here, never knowing what happened. Maybe i'll never be found. Maybe... Maybe I'm already dead. I looked at my surrounding. It was dark. Really dark. The ground was made out of dirt.

"Hello?"

I called out. Silence. I got up, though it was excruciatingly painful. I put my hands out infront of me, looking for some sort of thing to lean on. My hand caught on to a smooth slender object. All of a sudden the object moved forward and thousands of candles where lit. I gasped at the sculls and bones in front of me.. There were animal and human bones and skulls everywhere. In the center of the room was a man. He was tied to a chair and on the floor was a inverted pentagram. He looked enough alive. He sounded enough alive. And his piercing screams made him seem very much alive. His pale skin made him look ghostly in the darkness. He was almost nude apart from the blood soaked cloth draped around his rear. He was a tall man. He looked like he had a good bodybuild. But not anymore. Must have been a healthy man. but now he was thin and looked like he had never had food. A painful look spread across his face when he saw me. His eyes flashed with fear.

"Please finish me off, end my suffering. Or let me go..."

He asked his voice barely above a whisper

"No! I mean why would I do that? Your life is precious"

I thought I saw happiness flash in his eyes. But it could just be my imagination. Before either of us could say anything, out of the darkness, behind him came a black being, at least twice my size. And I'm six one! His red eyes glowed with death. He had black horns that could pierce a man in seconds. Giant wings the size of a table protruded from his back. He had a body build of toughness. I was paralyzed with fear as the demonic creature's hand shot into the unknowing man's chest from the back. The man screams echoed in the room. They were loud then His hand reemerged of the other side if the man, and in his hand was the heart of the poor man. By this time my eyes were as big as saucers. I watched as the demonic creature slowly started to turn into smoke as black as death's cloak. I watched as his hand turned into smoke. The man's heart fell to the floor with a indescribable sound. I gagged. The smoke gradually make its was from behind the man and to his mouth. I watched, stunned. Unable to run. For all I could do was watch. Was I next? How will it end? Can I escape? And if I could, would he follow, or catch me? Why can't I run!!?? Who was that man who was just murdered? Was this all a trap? The gunman, the murder, the demonic being, the victim... I was hopeless... alone.. Nobody cared... then I snapped out of it. I wasn't hopeless. I'm the reason me and my sister are still alive. I wasn't alone! I have my sister, my friends, my gremlin! I was cared about so much! Ally loved me, my boss needs me, and I have three hundred and seventy eight friends... On facebook. Why am I so scared? Does the beast have have power over me? If he does, will I be able to fight it? If I hide he'll get me, if I come out he'll get me. It's better to go down with glory even if no one knows it than go down a frightened coward. I'll count to five and come out. 1-blood flashed through my head-2-screams shot through my ears-3-Death was all I knew- 4- my life flashed before my eyes-5- no horror, no death no screams. It was my destiny. You cannot escape it. Destiny... I came out, to see his eyes staring into mine. My screams filled the cave. And they kept going. Forever. I wish...
