James grabbed Farid by the collar of his black, muddied shirt and shook him.
"What do you mean by it's a goddamn game, huh? The deaths, the dogs, this HELL, it's all just a game?" He spat.
His mind was spinning. He couldn't focus properly.
Whoever this guy was, he had to be kidding.
"I wish I was, but, really, I'm not," Farid deadpanned.
James stared into Farid's grey eyes and a horrible realization hit him.
It was true.
"No," James whimpered, letting go of Farid's collar. "It can't be."
Farid looked away.
"There's one more thing," Farid looked back at him.
"Whatever you do, do not die."

"What the hell are you?" I screamed. The more I scooted away towards the darkness, the more their eyes glowed. I hyperventilated as they grew nearer and nearer. "Calm down, human. Come quietly and we might not kill you." I stumbled to my feet and ran. I didn't make it far before I was swiped off my feet. My body painfully hit the ground and I gasped for air. My aching body screamed at me to get up. I began to drag myself away. Even if I didn't make it, at least I tried. I was lifted and easily thrown into a tree. The force vibrated through my body. I coughed up blood as I landed. I lay on my stomach, unable to move. Is this how everything ends? Is this how I die? I can't die here. A foot stomped itself onto my back. An empty, breathless scream came out of me. "You stupid human. What a lowlife. I changed my mind. Who wants worthless trash like you? Die quickly, will you?"
The pressure intensified by the second. I screamed in pain. No. No. No. I was about to give up on hope. A voice boomed through the forest. It was full of anger, dominance, and blood-thirst. It sent shivers down every inch of my body. "Get off my mate."
