Beyond the Shadows

chapter 10

My vision was clouded and my mind, filled with rage and tranquility all at the same time. Nothing could submerse this feeling. I felt every heart beat and exhale of life, new life, wild life, everything.  As plants grew, then died. Same with mankind. Every stage of life was felt within my soul.  It was a new perspective of life as we know it.  I had always co asidered it death, because we were all slowly dying with every breath.  But with this feeling, life wasn't death, it was a chance. To do something good. To not be a waste of the earth, to be who you wanted. 

Back to reality.

This was every nerds dream. I mean, I was looking like some comic book character.  But this new form gave hope, it unleashed fury, and rage.  Every bottled up fear or hatred just let out.  We busted through walls, this was suprisingly discrete as to no one heard it.  It never came to me as why so I just followed my parents.  "What was that?" My dad whispered. I peered around the corner but nothing stood in the path. I shrugged and walked around the turn. Suddenly I was thrown on the wall by some creature. it was strangely beast-wolf like and had protruding spines down its back and its ribs pierced the scrawny underside.  It roared and threw a handful of spikes from its tail! flying toward me. I was pinned on the wall and looked down to see a barb like spike in my side. Haha thorn in my side. Not the time for jokes. Mom was holding off the beast while my dad pulled out the spikes one by one.  I screamed in pain as it came out.  My mom was forced back by the beasts plate sized paw.  It roared once again and it loomed over us. Oh lord.  My dad threw one of its own poisoned spikes at the beast and it hit him in the throat.  It wailed and collapsed in agony and clawed at his neck. I actually felt bad for it, for two seconds.  I then gathered enough strength to draw my sword and struck the thing with lightning. It roared once again and its eyes flashed a deep crimson. It kicked me backwards but my dad and mom quickly followed up with strikes to the head.  I slipped on my shuko and climbed up the brick and cement walls. When I got to the top beams of the chamber I ran along the support beams and when I was over the wolfish thing I jumped with my Katana out-stretched.  I plunged it deep into the head of the thing and swiftly decapitated it.  It wailed once more. But then it got up again and its head slowly protruted bones that reconnected its torso once more.  It almost smiled a toothy grin before my dad instructed me to hit the heart, the only way to kill it.  I struck once more and this time i felt the swords movements and watched as the thing went lifeless.  And at that moment I Realized something really huge...

I had peed my pants. I just ruined it.
