Fractured

Chapter 25: Apex Competitors

There was nothing all around him as he slowly rose up. Nothing but black as he focused his eyes in an attempt to see if their was anything in the distance but it there was still nothing. He sniffed the air in the hope of picking up a scent but still nothing how ever he did feel something. A wetness beneath his feet which cause him to look down in curiosity at the water that black waters beneath him. Just as he was about to reach for it his wolf like ears twitched as he heard a voice.

"Gin!"

Gin instantly shot to alert as he frantically looked around him trying to pick up on where that voice came from.

"Who was that? Where am I?"

There was no response to his questions as the area went silent once more. Until that silence was broken once more by a distant voice.

"Help us!"

Gin darted his head to the direction of the sound.

"Where are you? Tell me where you are and I can help you!"  Gin said attempting to plea with the voice but his words were ignored.

"Free us!" Another panicked voice screamed but this time sounding like the voice of a woman. Gins head darted in the opposite directions towards the other voice.

"I can help! Just show me where you are, directions, anything!" Gin once again tried to offer his aid hoping to in return find a way out of this void.

"Help us!"

"Free us!"

"Help us!"

"Free us!"

The voices continued getting loud and louder confusing Gin more and  as he tried to follow them but no matter which way he turned or ran towards there was nothing but a sea of black everywhere he went. It was empty. The voices became more and more intense becoming darker and distorted as they continued. Gin soon realised that their was no point chasing after the voices as they were no where to be found. Their was no hope was trapped with sounds of the desperate unable to do anything to aid them. Forcing him to think more and more on all those he had seen fall before him, all those he was unable to help.His enemies, his friends, women, children. The thoughts caused him to clutch at his head claws digging into his own head as if he was attempting to claw the thoughts out his head himself.

"Help us!"

"I can't!"

"Free us!"

"I'm Sorry!"

"Help us!"

"Please stop!"

"Free us!"

"I'm sorry I couldn't..."

"Help us!"

Gin fell to his knees before could finish his sentence the voices continuing to torture him with their distorted screams. Gin focused in on the voices that screamed at him picking up on the voices and realising that they were the voices of all those he couldn't protect. All those that fell to their demise due to him... and the lack of him. One final image showed up in his head a flash of a beautiful  brown skinned woman, holding a child.

"I'm sorry I couldn't save you."

The voices stopped leaving Gin in the black waters with nothing but his thoughts. He sat their alone until he felt a sudden warm embrace. It was the glowing green woman from before but now her features were clearer with glowing gold eyes, her dreads moved on their own in the air in a glowing pastel pink, her hands were pastel blue as they wrapped around Gin, her legs a pastel orange. She wore nothing allowing her slim curvy figure to show through and her breasts to press against Gins back as she floated above him.
