My Adventure Through This Weird World

The Guy

Let's recap. I got my right arm broken, my left leg also damaged, and a terrible wound on my right ribs. Wonderful. I cannot wait to tell what happens next. Now let's continue...

I was being carried by She because I was unconscious. On the way out of the city, She tripped on a rock on the road.

To give you the general idea of what was happening, the city was devastated. The taverns, hotels, houses, restaurants, everything was completely destroyed. I think the city and I could run a contest in what was more fucked up. The winner would be a little hard to choose. Everything was destroyed by the guy who injured me. He was pretty strong.

Either way, I fell to the ground. The unfunny bit is that I landed on my wounded side. It wasn't nice. I screamed on the top of my lungs.

−You are gonna alert him. – She said putting her hands in my mouth.

The street was really dark with only a few lamps glowing, I saw how everything was in ruins. Every single building that I could see was wrecked. Not even the roads were safe on this one.

−But... it hurts... so much...−I said while trying to control the pain. I cannot explain to you what kind of pain I have been through. I got calmed, in about a minute.

I heard an ominous whistle, coming from an abandoned street. After a minute or so, I could see "The Guy" walking at a leisurely pace. He turned around toward us.

−Oh, I didn't see you there. – He said. −But since I already found you. I don't see the reason to keep you waiting. –

I saw how he was walking slowly for a few seconds. I noticed he disappeared he disappeared from my line of sight.

−Where is he? – I asked She. I turned around to see "The Guy" sitting on my right side, with a complete chill. He couldn't give a damn if She was there or not.

−So, you were looking for me. You gotta be looking to die. – He said with a cynical grin.

He said so, before punching me in my wounded ribs.

−Fuck. – I said before my mouth was filled with blood. I coughed it out. It left a huge stain on the street. I couldn't breathe well for at least 10 minutes. The sensation of pain stayed at least 30 minutes.

−Oh, were you hurt there? My bad. – He said standing up. I was sitting on the street. −You don't want to hurt him, right? – He said to She while pointing at her rapier.

−if you don't mind me, I would like to get going to the nearest FUNCTIONAL hospital. – I said standing up or at least trying.

−If you move another millimetre, you die. – He said with a complete tone shift. He was dead serious.

−Ok, buddy. Don't worry. – I said sitting back on my place.

She was getting a lot more serious and closer to stab "The Guy".

−Now you want to fight me? You didn't seem to like the idea a few minutes ago. −He said sarcastically. −Or maybe it is because you have to protect him. – He pointed at me.

−Shut up. – She said pissed off. −I'll fight to get payback. –

−Oh, really? Then I must ask you something: would you kill him? – He said with complete malice.

−No. – She said lifting her rapier pointing to the air.

−Do not listen to him. – I was thinking.

−He must be dead by now. – He said completely disregarding my existence. −But who've known I am feeling generous. – He walked near to me. −Buddy, don't worry. – He said sitting down next to me. He grabbed my broken arm and rolled my sleeve to the point my whole forearm was visible. −It'll hurt just a bit. – He lifted his hand with only his index and middle finger extended. Those fingers were glowing red.

−I would like some help. – I said nervously.

−Oh, it won't hurt you much. It will hurt a whole lot more. – He said as if it was soothing.

−Good to know. –

With his red glowing fingers, he pushed into the skin of my arm. I could see how the fingers were pushing the skin, but it wasn't moving any internal things. It wasn't touching my bones or arteries, but the nerves. The nerves made me feel as if I should cut my arm. It was so painful. He took out his fingers. The skin that was pushed by his fingers, was completely black. I was confused.

−Oh, that! Just a small curse. If you survive by the morning you won't die easily. – He said before beginning to walk away into the dark. −Oh, yeah. I almost forgot. – He said turning back.

He disappeared again. When he reappeared, he grabbed She by the neck and threw her into the ground. The throw was so powerful that it created a small crater. He proceeded to kick her. Unconscious, She was next to me.

−There. There. Now everything is done. Now the boss will be happy. One last thing, my name is Iscariot. – He said before actually disappearing into the night.

−I won't die with an empty stomach. – I said standing up.

I couldn't stand for any longer than 5 minutes. I grabbed She with my unbroken arm. I was leaning against the wall, so I could carry her or even walk. Every so often I needed to rest. I walked for a mile or so. I finally found someone.

−Can you help us... − I asked him. I saw him closer. He was Scott.

−What happened to you? – Scott asked me running to get closer.

−Do you really want to know... − I was unconscious before I could finish the sentence. I cannot remember anything.
