Bad End One: Sea Monster

After a little bit of exploring, I felt like something was wrong. I kept walking though, because something bad was happening, I was sure of it.

I soon found blood, so my ambitions were right. I decided to follow it because I had a sick and worried feeling that it would lead to worse things.

I ran into an orca, standing tall over somebody laying on the ground. I couldn't make out who it was until the orca turned around to face me, a wide sharp-toothed smile plastered on his face. He was up to no good.

"So, is this your little friend? He thinks he's real tough, doesn't he?"

Samekichi was sprawled on the ground, blood seeping from his wounds that were created by the orca.

"...y-yes...he's my friend."

"Hm. Well you can see that he's hurt badly, can't you?"

His tall stature was so intimidating, I hated the way he made me feel.

"...yes...I can. Why did you hurt him?...."

"I'm a bully, and he was just in my way. No big deal."

He stooped down to my height and held my face in his hands. It hurt, but I didn't try to struggle.

"Now, why are you here?"

I tried to talk but my words escaped me, and all I could think about was fighting. Maybe if he let me go....

...but his grip only got tighter.

"Say, you're a witch, huh? Wonderful. I've always wondered what witches taste like."

He snickered and finally let me go, returning again to his normal height. I finally got the courage to say something after what seemed like an eternity.

"Yes, I am, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to have a bite of me....I just want Samekichi to be okay...."

"Hey, kid, what's your name anyways?"

"W-Wadanohara.."

"Name's Idate. It was nice meeting you."

He stood back for a second and I got nervous. What was he planning? He was now running straight at me, and it was too late for me to move out of the way. When he pummeled me, I flew straight back onto the floor. My mind was telling me to give in, but my heart said no. I quickly cast a spell to knock him to the floor as well, but he was quick and got right back up.

His smile was back again, and I was beginning to think it had never left. He walked over to me again, towering far above. He kicked me to the floor, and by then I was pleading for it to stop. I didn't want to do this anymore. Samekichi was still on the ground. I needed him to be okay.

"Please....stop...please...don't hurt Samekichi...."

"Well....that's a shame, Wadanohara. He's already dead."

I gasped and started choking up. I looked at Samekichi and it didn't look like he was breathing. I was going to cry, I couldn't stop it.

"W-aaAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"Hey, kid, don't worry. It'll all be done and over with soon..."

"PLEASE, NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

The last thing I remember was blacking out.

"What a nice treat...."
