I walked through the forest, lost in my thoughts. 'A creature I can't see is even stronger than me. No wonder that guy warned me about the north. I will go there anyway. Maybe that was just some kind of freak creature, just like the Black Mammoth I encountered with Shelly' I thought. I lifted my head up and looked at the clouds drifting through the sky. 'Eh, if only Shelly was here with me' I thought and then lowered my head to look in front of me.

"Impossible!"

I exclaimed. "This is not real, is it?" I said out loud again. What I saw standing in front of me, was… Shelly. "Shelly?...How?" I blurted out. I had no other words but questions only. How was that possible? Was it really Shelly? How did it survive? And many more questions ran through my head.

I ran towards Shelly while screaming "It's good that you are back!" but instead, Shelly run in opposite direction and I lost the sight of it between the trees. When I finally arrived at the place where I lost the sight of Shelly, it was no longer there. "What the hell is going on? Shelly?... SHELLY!" no response whatsoever.

'I must be hallucinating. Shelly is dead, how could it appear here?' I thought as I started to move again. Not long after, I heard something move behind me. I turned around and called "Shelly?" but it wasn't Shelly… it was Nick this time. "How? What is going on here!?". I was confused. Was I hallucinating? Was my mind playing tricks on me? or was this real? I could no longer distinguish that. Nick looked like the usual him. The same clothes, the same expression on his face and the same posture.

I said "Nick? Is that really you? You've died a long time ago. How come you are here?" but Nick didn't say anything and ran towards some trees. I tried to catch up to him but I again lost sight of Nick this time. "Something is wrong here. Shelly and Nick are dead. I saw them die, how could both of them be here. This isn't real".

I looked around and found nothing. I calmed myself a bit and turned around towards north. As I took couple of steps, a rustling sound came from behind me again. I turned around and shouted "What are you!? What do you want?" but what I saw shocked me again. "Dina? I killed you myself, you can't be here. This is fake! I'm not going to fall for it!" I said and convinced myself that what I saw in front of me was not real. It was all fake.

Then I heard a voice "Yes, they are all fake. You wanted to see what I look like, but I don't really have a form". It wasn't the voice of Dina, it was the voice of the damned creature that stalked me for days on end. I lost my calmness completely. What replaced it was boundless rage.

"BOOOM!"

The ground shattered underneath me as I launched at the creature standing in front of me. I extended my fist and punched. "BOOOM!" I didn't manage to hit the creature but the place it stood on. "You will die for that" I said while my instincts took over and sped towards a new location.

"BOOOM!.... BOOOM!.... BOOOM!"

I could somehow find the creature using my instincts as if I had a compass built inside my mind that pointed my in the general direction of the creature. The rage inside me bursted and a new aura was born inside of me. The air seemed to freeze. The world started to change and I caw everything in red. I then felt unimaginable thirst for blood. "You will die for doing that" I said. My voice full of malice and thirst, thrist to see death and destruction.

A few arrows flew towards me but I didn't care about them. In my mind, I only had one thought "Kill". The arrows penetrated my body and although I stumbled back a bit from the impact, I felt no pain. I again rushed towards the creature that shot those arrows at my full speed.

"Booom!.... Booom!"

"Come out and die!" "BOOOOM!". The longer the fight lasted, the more arrows were embedded in my body. With so many arrows in my body, I lost a lot of strength, speed and blood. Soon after, I finally collapsed and the world of red started to fade. What replaced it was the usual world, full of colours.

I then heard a voice "Are you really a human?" and then, I fainted. When I woke up, I first noticed that I was alive. The other thing? Pain, loads of pain. Not only pain, hunger as well. When i finally gained focus in my eyes, I noticed a woman standing over me. She said "You finally woke up".

I immediately know who it was. "It's you! Why don't you just kill me? Why do you want to torture me like this?" I said weakly. She responded "Calm down, no one is going to kill you or torture you". I looked her straight in the eyes and asked "Then what do you want from me? I have nothing to give you. I have nothing precious besides my life. So what do you want?".

She looked up and then back down at me saying "Nothing, I was just interested. You seemed different from others so I watched you. I didn't mean for you to suffer like this". She then extended her hand and tried to give me something. I had no strength and I was hungry as well so I took it. If she wanted to kill me, she would've already. With some many chances on her plate, she probably didn't want to kill me.

When I ate that something she gave me, I started to feel a bit better. The pain started to subdue but I still felt immense hunger. I thought I ask some things now. "Is that how you really look like?" to which she smiled and said "Do you like it?". I didn't know what to say to that. She looked like a human but there were some differences. Her black hair seemed to be wet with something, it looked like some kind of liquid was constantly oozing out of her hair. Her skin was white, to the point I could see her veins as if it was transparent, the veins didn't look like those in human beings. They had different formation and directions. Her clothes were weird as well. It looked like her clothes were her skin. Her eyes were black, pitch black with no other colour in her pupil.

I said "I don't know, you look like human but not human at the same time". She didn't seem to like that answer and said "Of course I don't look like human, I'm not a human". She then added "What did you see? When you looked at me back in the forest?". I was confused 'Back in the forest?' I thought and looked around. It wasn't the forest anymore, we were in some kind of cave.

I said "My friends. People of the past. They are dead now". She looked at me and asked again "You didn't see anyone alive when you looked at me then?" I said "No, only those who died, why?". She just brushed it off by saying "Nothing, I was just curious" and then continued saying "I'm sorry, it must've caused you a lot of pain. I didn't mean that".

I sighted but said nothing. I was already calm and besides, I was too hungry to care about that now so i asked "Do you have anything to eat?". She seemed to realise something and said "Right, you do eat a lot!" and gave me one more small thing.

I thought 'This is not going to satisfy my hunger' but I was wrong. When I ate it. I started to feel less hungry and after a while, I was not hungry anymore. I exclaimed "What is that thing you gave me? It's amazing, I don't feel hunger at all!" but she just smiled and said "Rest, we will talk when you wake up".

'I don't have to rest, I feel much better now' I thought but soon, my eyes started to close and I fell asleep.
