Borderline of Stability (Creepypasta Story)

Chapter 10- Hunting Hawks

Tim's POV-

As I woke up, my body was stiff from sitting in the tree. The sun shined through the leaves and I looked around. Everyone else seemed to be asleep, but..where was Toby? Slight kick of adrenaline rushed through me, making me jump down from the branch I was on, and started looking for Toby. Walking around I sighed knowing he probably ran off, making my feet lead me away from the others. Who knows where he could be, all I knew is Toby could be in danger. Sure he's annoying..but I made a promise to Brain..

~Flashback~

Brian and I were in the front of the train, learning how to drive it. One of the most complicated things I have ever done, and I don't plan on doing it again. As we made head way up the hill, Toby cried out on the front of the train.

"I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD!" Toby laughed and cheered, raising both arms in the sky. This was not only dangerous, but stupid. Leaning out the side widow I yelled out.

"Toby! Get your ass inside!" I growled a little when I sat down, Toby pouted and hurried inside but Brian just chuckled.

"You have to admire how cheerful he is after all this." Brian commented to me and I shrug.

"He'll get himself killed that way.." I grumble and focused back onto the mechanics of the train. Barely noticing Brain walked over until he was right next to me.

"Tim, if something happens to separate us. I'd like to ask that you protect Toby. He maybe a kid but he and RJ have done so much to keep others hopes alive." Brian said, not in a plead but not a demand either. He was asking me to watch that brat.

"All those two have done is run and hide, they do not know how to protect themselves. And sure as hell are not helping others keep their hopes up. Liu is at the end of his rope, and so is Ben." I huffed, not looking to him.

Brian did glare though, I saw it from the corner of my eye. "Timothy that's a lie and you know it. Toby had fought with us at his house, and RJ is doing everything to keep Ben ok. So all i ask is you watch Toby, he and the others would do the same for you. And you-"

I quickly put my hand over his mouth and sighed. "If you stop trying to preach me I will watch Toby.." Sure i'll protect the kid, but I wanted Brian to shut up more than anything.

Brian was somewhat pleased and smacked my hand off his mouth, crossing his arms he turned his attention to the path ahead. "Just making sure.."

~Back to the present~

Looking at the gun Brian left behind and I sighed in aggravation. "Damn it Brian.." I cursed to no one in particular. If that kid is dead it'll be on my conscious forever. My stomach felt like it was sinking, no sign of the kid and at that point it was better if i called to him.

"Toby! Toby where are you!?" I shout out, cupping my hands around my mouth. I waited but got no reply. Huffing I continued to call out for him, it was starting to annoy me and the pit in my stomach was sinking further.

Finally, my stomach dropped. A loud scream erupted in the distance, followed by the sound of a car alarm and a horrifying screech. My instincts took over and I ran out of the forest, surprised to find the road. But I looked around and to add to my terror, the same screams kept shattering the air. Quickly as the scream let out for a third time I ran down the road, finding my breath stolen when a hideous creature stood towered over Toby. my hand raised the gun up and three bullets left the barrel, causing the creature to scream in pain before stepping back. It roared at me but I fired another two shots into it's, what I'm guessing, is it's swinging head.

It fell, gurgling in pain and a purple liquid oozed from it's head. It looked like it had the same skin as the shadow wolves, but this was a much more terrifying creation. My mind was brought back when I heard a whimper. "Toby!"
