The Tiny Lwanda 3

Chapter 16: Woke

As soon as we were all together we started focusing all our thoughts and energy on waking up - since the Lamb had assured my uncle that when together we would be able to break whatever was holding us in this dreamworld. We not only concentrated on waking up ourselves but we really desired that all of our armies would wake up.

One second we were in this world where we had woken the last of the Watchers and the next minute we were back to the dreary dark world that we all knew about and hated.

Once again Over-watch went a bit ahead of us and lit up - we immediately wished she had not done so - we all thought better ignorance than this. All around us were bones - bones of people scattered here and there some dry ones, while others looking fresh with some blood and a few pieces of meat still sticking to the bones, some complete while others broken and in pieces; with a crushed skull here and a hand there and a foot elsewhere and some seemingly torn apart by some animal.

Not only did we see human bones but we also saw animal bones and even some alien looking bones and exoskeleton.

Then we heard the booming sound, "Finally you are awake! Are you all ready to meet your doom!" As soon as we heard the sound then all of a sudden Over-watch's light dimmed to a point of total darkness. It became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop - as quiet as a graveyard. All we could hear from all around us were the beating of anxious hearts as we awaited for whatever it was that was coming next - and we all knew from past experience that it was not going to be good.

In the utter darkness we saw two glowing red eyes and heard cackling sounds of wicked laughter as whatever was coming continued to taunt us.

I believe that the reason this thing was able to dim and actually over-shaddow Over-watch's light and make the place completely dark was because it wanted to show us just how powerful it was and not only so but to show us also how powerless we were.

When the cackling sounds died down and there was peace and calm once again, the red big glowing eyes disappeared and we  were left in the dreary utter darkness with no sound all around - I think even the once loud thumping hearts were now also quietly waiting for whatever horror was to come next.

After what felt like a decade of waiting, although it probably was just  a few minutes, the darkness started lifting and we finally could at least make out Over-watch. It continued to lift to a point where we could see someone standing behind Over-watch - since Over-watch was slightly ahead of us but facing us.
The guy was wearing completely black clothes - black suit coat and trousers, black shirt and black tie.

The guy behind Over-watch, to our utter shock moved with such speed that he was just a blur and pierced Over-watch's from behind and we saw the dark sword come out the front.

We were all awed as we saw the look of shock and utter horror on the face of Over-watch - it seemed she could not believe that this was happening to her. When the blade of the dark sword come through we saw what looked like a golden fluid come out. I guess a creature of light like Over-watch had to have blood that is made of pure liquid gold!

Uncle Sam shouted, "Over-watch!" and was about to run over to her but the Watchers, Rose and I held him back.

How could we allow uncle Sam to face such a powerful opponent?

As the liquid golden blood kept on flowing out the "man in black" put one foot behind Over-watch and drew out the sword and liquid golden blood splattered out and we heard the sound, "Aah!" come out from the lips of Over-watch and then she held out her trembling hand towards uncle Sam and dropped to the ground.

We could not believe that this was happening, Over-watch was the most powerful of us all.

When she lay down dying the light from her kept on dimming and then there was once again utter, total and complete darkness.
