Chapter 18: Intrusions

I was walking through a forest, trying to get away. I looked behind me as I was running, hearing commotion going on behind me.

"There he is!" I heard him shout. "Don't let him get away!" I tried some quick maneuvering and went into the woods, trying to climb up the trees to try and hide myself in the trees as I ran. I was able to pull myself up just in time before they were able to grab my foot.

"Get back here!" I started to jump from tree to tree since they were in close proximity. Making the jumps were easy, but the branches shook each time I landed on a new one and jumped off it. I heard them swearing underneath me as I would get some distance on them. If I had anything on them, it was speed and endurance.

"Get back here you ████er!"

"Leave me alone!" I shouted. "I want nothing to do with you!"

"Like you have a choice!" I leaped forward, grabbing onto one tree with both my hands and swinging myself to the next. My landing was not what I was hoping for. My footing was off, and I stumbled to the ground. I landed on it hard, but I didn't stop to let the pain overwhelm me. My body was running with so much adrenaline that I could barely feel anything. As I kept running, I felt one of them almost grab my shoulder.

"D███ it!"

"Don't just lay there on the ground! Get back up and grab him!" Like I was going to let them do that to me. I was determined to get as far away as I could. That's when I felt the ground come from underneath me. I fell off a short ledge, a few inches, but it was enough to catch me off guard and land me straight on my chest. I only had time to get back on my knees before I was kicked in the stomach. I was flipped onto my back. I clenched my eyes shut, now feeling the pain in my ribs.

"Look at me!" He roared out. "Look at me when I'm speaking boy!" I opened one of my eyes, trying to push myself back up.

"P-please-" I was kicked across the head, making me grunt and whimper.

"Shut up! You know you couldn't get away from us!" I cracked my eyes open, seeing my mother walking towards me. Just as I saw her, another fist came at my face. I snapped back into reality, gasping deeply and moving forward from my sitting position on a branch in a tree. As I did, I saw something lunge at me, screeching loudly. I had no time to react as I tried to fall off the branch. I was semi-successful. I was off the branch, but whatever lunged at me had grabbed my shorts! I could hear it tear and try to pull me into the air! The end result was as it tried to pull me off, I fell out of my shorts, taking everything off my waist. As I hit the ground hard and awkwardly, I grunted loudly, feeling my back pop. My bag had opened up, spilling open what was inside it. I put my hand to my neck, trying to dull as much of the pain as possible. I felt the ground shake behind me as whatever had grabbed my shorts was right behind me. When I opened my eyes, I was looking at two yellow eyes with LARGE ears!

I pulled myself forward as it tried to bite me. I ignored the pain in the back of my neck, backing myself up as I got a clear picture of the Noivern eyeing me. The Noivern crawled towards me, licking its fangs. I could see the scars all over its body. I wasn't backing up as fast as I wanted. It was right in front of me, right about to lunge at me again. In desperation, I grabbed the nearest item as it opened its mouth. As I felt something in my hand, I grabbed it and forced it into the Noivern's mouth, making it stop and choke on a Sitrus Berry. I used this time to turn myself around and try to push myself up to my feet. Just as I did, something came right over my eyes, blinding me, and sending me into a panic as I fell back to the ground. As I hit the ground, I pulled off what was covering my eyes, and after seeing it fall to the ground, I saw my pants hit the ground. I heard something going on behind me. As I turned my head to see what was happening, I saw the Noivern choking on the Sitrus Berry until it brought its head up and swallowed it whole. After that, it looked right at me and started approaching. I scooted myself back, trying to get my legs to push me up so I could run, but I just kept sliding on the ground. I grabbed another item beside me and held it right in front of me, trying to defend myself with... another Sitrus Berry....
