The moist and tropical mixed with wood and decayed fruit smell of the forest hit me hard as I began to run deep into the forest.
I didn't know just how deep into the forest I was but all I knew is that I'm pretty pretty deep. I run as fast as my skinny legs could take me. Never looking or turning back to see what's behind or how close it is. I don't even know if she sent something after me, or maybe she's coming to get me herself. Just the thought of that gave my legs enough motivation to keep running.
The sound of the owls and other animals of the forest barely registered in my head and the trees where just a green blur. I was trying so hard to run very fast in this dark, very muddy and obstacle filled forest.
My legs wanted to give in but I refused to give up. At least not now.
I kept running, pushing myself to go faster, I was so focused on pushing myself harder that I didn't notice the twigs that were rapidly snapping behind me. But I think that was good because when the snapping did register in my mind, I got so scared that I lost my balance for just a second but being the sneaky thief he is, gravity took advantage and pulled me down. I heard a snap as I fell, I think I broke my ankle. But I was so busy being scared of the twig snapping that was getting so close and at a high speed that I didn't realize my leg was hurting.
Is this how I'm finally going to die? By my own mother's hands? In the middle of nowhere.
I won't even have a funeral. Some animal will probably just find my half rotten corpse and finish the decaying process.
No.
Not today. Not now. Not by her hands.
Definitely not by her hands.
I would rather an animal find me and eat me up in the forest than allow myself to be caught by that evil sorcerer.
With that new goal in mind. I got up and continued running at a high speed. I didn't pay any mind to my hurting and screaming leg at all. It will thank me later after I save us from being witch soup.
The snapping got more closer, and with how heavy it's thundering steps was I don't think it's her.
Then there was a roar.
Nope. Definitely not her. But what evil creature has she sent after me now?
I kept running because I didn't intend to find out anytime soon.
I couldn't see the path in front of me because the place was pitch black and eventually I tripped over a creeping plant and fell again.
This time, I didn't have to wait for the creature to catch up with me. It was hovering over me few seconds after the muddy dirty ground welcomed me once more.
Oh my God....
That ruthless bitc-
The creature gave a loud roar to mean that he is victorious because now he's caught me.
A Minotour.
The crazy sorcerer dared to send one of her crazy possessed Minotour guards after me? Argh. I'm so damn pissed off right now. How could she. A Minotour? a mindless bull headed creature with the body of a man? I slowly got up to face the damned creature.
"Tooomm K-K-Kal m-m-e s-soriiiiiiiver."
(The sorceress wants you)
I hate their annoying stutter so much.
I would reply in English because I despise the dark language but he wouldn't understand.
"Mey Karil fuil na ka soriver"
(I do not belong to any sorceress)
He growled and made a move to catch me but he was too slow. I dodged and kicked his furry hand away.
I was so pissed off I didn't even know exactly why.
"Eleeeeel k-k-karivooo k-k-ka so-soriiiiiiivveerrrr!!!!!"
(everyone belongs the sorceress!!!)
He turned and made a move that I didn't realize soon enough. He tried to stab me with his spear but thankfully my fast reflexes helped me move in time that it only grazed my side.
I moved to swing a punch into his his faced but then doubled over in pain. My hand shot to my left side and I raised my half torn top up to reveal a green and black scar forming.
Damnit. She poisoned the spear!!
How dare she?
Another Minotour joined the first and they were both approaching me slowly. Like I was a pret that they knocked down but they had to really make sure I was dead. No. Not today. Not now.
I could feel something bubbling in my chest. Anger yes, but a different kind of anger. Like the type that threatened to burst out of my chest. Then that's when I felt if for the first time. The changeover. It was as if I wasn't in control of my body. I was in my body yes, just not in control of it. Then I felt pain radiating all over my body but especially in my head. I doubled over again and screamed in agony.
Then everything became still. My eyes were glued shut.
The place seemed to be quiet for a few seconds...like I was alone there.
Then I heard a twig snap on my right hand side and with my eyes closed, my head turned so quickly that I heard something break in my neck.
I could smell something. A strong stench. A manly strong stench..and a load of darkness...
Oh.... Minotours.... When did they join the party? Are they here with me?
One Minotour growled.
oh so they're not. They're here for me.
Free dinner then I guess.
Then I laughed. I heard the laugh come out of my mouth but it wasn't me. It sounded..... maniacal...
Then I felt the wind around me change.
My hands flew up and caught something metal mid air. A spear. My eyes were still shut but I somehow knew the spear was coming at me.
Then slowly my eye opened. The minotours that were growling shut up immediately I opened my eyes and they even looked...scared? of me? But why?
'Not sacred of you.....or me..... but US.'
Wait who said that?!?!
'No time to explain darling, it's time for dinner'
And after I heard that in my head. I involuntarily....or voluntarily I really don't know, but my head moved to the first Minotour as it headed for me running at full speed and there was a whisper in my head
'Apostatare'
And just like that, snap, his head fell off his body and red blood spilled out of the neck of the the headless Minotour. The second Minotour paused. Looked at the first Minotour and looked at me again. He looked petrified.
"Oh come on big dog....you're not scared are you? Or maybe I should call you...small dog"
My voice didn't sound like mine. Well I sounded like me but....evil.
The minotour growled as if fueled with anger then started to run at me again.
"Atta boyyyy!!"
I laughed evily again
This time when I looked at his head. I whispered in my head .
'displodo'
Then just when the minotour got in front of my form he exploded. Like there was a bomb in him. And his blood was all over me.
Yuck
'No, fun, beautiful in fact'
I suddenly became even more aware of the voice in my head.
Who are you. I asked.
'I am you'
No you're not! You're an evil spirit! How did you gain access into my body! I didn't invite you! I was shouting into my mind. Now.
Any person would see a girl with glowing green eyes standing in the middle of the forest with blood all over her.
'You're right. I am not you....yet. But I'm not an evil spirit darling. I am your best friend."
Prove it!!
My head turned to look at the headless Minotour.
Oh.....
But I want you out of my body! Now.
There was a laugh
'I am you, and you are me. You don't get it now but you will soon. Very very soon'
And with that. I slowly fell asleep. Even though I felt my body moving. It was like I was sleeping and being carried by by someone...in my own body.
'Sleep now my darling Spice. You'll need your energy to conquer the world'....
