When The World Was Grey

Final Part: What I've Truly Become

My breath was growing weak, but I need more air, I could myself wheezing with my lungs hurting. I was going extremely fast now, I was desperate. Desperate to save Claire. I had to! 

After a minute of my sore yet quicker running, I was finally making it to the jeep. I saw the big bearded scary man at the trunk, he was pulling Claire out. And she was desperately trying to fight back, but he was really strong. Even for someone like me. I finally reached them, and I yelled,  "LET. GO OF HER!"   He saw me running towards him, and I jumped up, I had the dagger in my hand, and I slashed at his chest. I applied a ton of my pressure onto him, I got him to stumble back a bit, he had a big cut on his chest. It was bleeding pretty badly, and he made a loud grunt. 

Claire managed to get out of his grip, and moved away quickly. The big bearded man was just at the edge of a steep slope leading down to a lake. He suddenly darted in front of me, grabbing me by the neck with both of his hands. He yelled at me while doing so,  

"Γαμώτο γιος σκύλας!"  He sounded pained yet angry, his eyes were mean and ugly looking, his beard flung all over the place, and as he grabbed me, I pushed him off, but he didn't let go.  We suddenly started to tumble down the slope. A lot was happening, dirt was flying everywhere, and so was both of our blood. I gave him a few punches during the tumble, we both lost a bunch of our breath as we rolled down. We both landed near each other, I landed on my stomach, feeling sore bruises all over me. I dropped the dagger, it was right in the middle between us. We both looked up at the dagger at the same time. I heard him gasp, and we both scrambled to grab it.

We were both becoming desperate to kill each other, I reached my arm out to grab it, and I did, but the big man grabbed my arm in return. He was grinding his teeth roughly, he looked like a vicious animal trying to kill whoever he set his eyes on. I got up on one knee at least, we both weren't really standing up straight, we started to play tug of war with the dagger. Not the best thing to do if you ask me, I had to be careful, the sharp end was pointing right at me. The big man yelled and groaned at me as we fought over the dagger,

"Αφήστε το! Θα σε σκοτώσω!"  He yelled, and I replied back loudly,  "Shut. UP!"  I was losing my grip, but I had an idea. While he was starting to finally get the better advantage, I turned my hands, turning the knife his way, and I let go. The dagger suddenly started flying his way, it went directly into his stomach. A slicing sound was heard, and blood particles came spurting out of him. 

The big man yelled out in pain, he had tears in his eyes as well,  "Το στομάχι μου!"  He didn't pull it out, which was probably the best for him, though I was about to drown him as he was off balance. I stomped over to him, and I was about to punch him directly in the throat, but he caught my arm mid swing, and he suddenly flung me over in the shallow beginnings of the water. He was constantly yelling at me as my head was going into the water, he got on top of me, and he violently gripped my neck. He was shaking my head while I was underwater. I had to hold my breath, but it was hard to since he was shaking me so much. All I could see was water splashing with tiny bubbles popping and forming, I couldn't see anything else. I closed my eyes, and my lungs couldn't take it. My body felt like... Nothing, I couldn't feel my weight, my legs, or anything, my arms were just scrambling around because I was panicking. 

I felt like I was in air, and my breath ran out, I couldn't breathe at all. I just felt my head being shaken around by this maniac. I tried to push him off, but he was too heavy. He weighed almost as much as a bear. I could feel my limbs starting to become numb, even though it hurt for my head to be so violently shook. I was starting to feel like nothing was happening, like I was dying. I always thought dying in any way was painful or scary. Yet, now, I was just accepting death. What was I supposed to do? My strength was flickering out, and I couldn't even tell what was happening.
