New chp.
(A/N. so uh... This will probably Be done by Next day, day.)
.
I shove the eggs into Ivy's arms.
.
"RUN."
.
And we ran…
.
We Sprint.
.
We didn't even look back!
.
Actually I didn't look back…
.
Ivy tries.
.
But she's a child, with tiny legs, and she looks like a penguin trying to escape a tsunami.
.
"AH— AHJUSSI— WAIT FOR M—"
.
Nope.
.
Nope nope nope.
.
I scooped her up mid sprint like she weighs nothing.
.
She actually doesn't.
.
She gasps.
"AHJUSSI!! BRIDAL CARR—"
.
"No. This is EVACUATION, dumbass."
.
I threw her over my shoulder like a sack of talking potatoes and keep running.
.
Behind us?
.
The cashier is jogging at first, completely calm, muttering.
.
"Ah… this again… yup. Same dream. Monster?, portal, customers running… but different customer this time, since it's Mr. Si Hon?."
.
"mm, hmmm"
.
Then—
.
There's a roar.
.
A REAL one.
.
The ground trembled.
.
The parking lot lights explode.
.
The cashier froze mid step.
Slowly…
She turned her head…
.
Sees the actual portal tearing open, electricity crackling in the air, a massive monster claw ripping reality apart.
.(Hehe massive.)
Her face pale. like she just fr saw something out of a horror movie…
.
This is worse than a horror movie…
.
"Wait."
"Wait."
"WAIT—"
.
She dropped the groceries bag.
.
Nooooo!!!
.
"This isn't my dream... This isn't My DREAM...! SIR PLEASE WAIT FOR ME—"
.
Now she is sprinting faster than all of us.
.
Si Hon: "is she an athlete?"
Even Vesper looks impressed.
——————————————
*Dun dun dun*
.
After like running for hours (exactly 6-7minutes. Kidding it's 3...) We reach the far end of the parking lot.
.(Six... Six... y'all DO I SEE SEEVEN? I CANT FIND IT?)
My lungs are burning.
Ivy is shaking in my arms.
Vesper is floating… Okay… running, like some goddess who skipped a leg day for ten thousand of years.
.
Then—
.
I stop.
.
Because I'm dying, of course.
.
Like— genuinely.
.
I put Ivy down gently.
.
She's panting like a puppy who ran 2 miles.
.(Today... Nov-19 I... Got my bike Flat... I ran like 2 miles...)
Even tho I was carrying her.
.
I then looked at Vesper.
.
"Vesper…"
.
She turned, hair still smooth and perfect even with a panic face and exhausted.
.
"Si Hon, we must, continue running. That presence—"
.
"No. No answer me first."
.
I hold up a finger and point it at her.
.
"You said… you said the dungeon, portals, and all that garbage and BS…"
Deep inhale.
"…was supposed to appear in THREE days."
.
Vesper nod.
.
She Nod slowly.
.
"Indeed, that is correct."
.
I point behind us.
.
At the literal portal tearing open above a CU store, with a side dish of a Bigass claw.
.
"It's been just ONE day."
.
Vesper looked at the glowing tear in the sky.
.
The claw emerging.
.
Damn that's scary…
.
The air Thick. (Thic Thic. Thic of it. A HA HA HA HA... AHHHH HA HA HA.)
The cashier screaming in the background.
Vesper whispered, horrified.
"…Si Hon."
.
"What."
.
"Mortal schedules are… regrettably flexible, Si Hon."
.
What?
.
"Vesper, I SWEAR TO GOD—" I don't understand... What you're saying... I don't know those words...
.
A thunderous roar erupt from behind us.
.
Ivy clung to my shirt.
.
"AHJUSSI, it's coming."
.
The portal tears wider.
.
The monster pushes through.
.
Vesper step in front of us, eyes not glowing... but serious, and wind swirling around her.
.
Probably just the wind, wind...
.
But she isn't smiling anymore.
.
"Stand behind me, and do no waver you three."
.
Her voice drop into something ancient.
.
"Whatever dares manifest from yon portal... Shall, BE! Smitten by me,"
Vesper Looked at the portal, the Claw Wiggling.
She continued. "Vesper Aurelia Evernight moonfall the fifth"
Si hon: "Wha—"
she continued, cutting me off.. "Slayer of beast, breaker of everything and ruler of devine Palace."
.
I was gonna tease her for all that Bullshit Title and introduction but, for the first time since meeting her.
She doesn't sound dramatic...?
She sounds serious.
Dead serious.
Like for real…
.
She hold out her hand And point it to the portal, and started chanting something.
.
"Ahjussi, Vesper is doing something."
.
Then vesper muttered, "Explode."
.
While holding out her palm, pointing it at the Tear in the Sky above the CU store... With a Bigass claw, and furry arms.
.
Then...
.
Then—
.
Nothing happened...
.
Ivy who's holding Si Hon legs looked at Vesper. "..."
The cashier dramatically whining on the ground stopped and looked at Vesper."..."
Si Hon watching looked at Vesper too. "What— the— fuck?!"
.
Vesper then looked at me... A bit teary? and opened her mouth. "A... a moment, if you please… my... Devine power... Refused to answer me."
.
Then the portal tears wider!
.
The blue light twisting, stretching, warping like reality itself is breaking.
.
Well it is.
.
Then a massive bigass claw pushes through first.
Black.
Scaled.
Cracked... glowing red, and like there's something trynna get out.
.
Then—
.
"THUD!"
.
Then anotha one, bigass claw slams onto the roof of the CU store.
.
Then it start scratching the roof, leaving a mark.
.
Ivy squeaks. "AHJUSSI— IT HAS HANDS— TWO HANDS— BIG HANDS—"
.
"I think it's called Paws, since Its said from Google."
.
(A/N. it looks like it's from a wolf or something)
.
Ivy looked at me, confused she opens her mouth. "UH... I think you switched you're dialogue with the AUTHOR NOTE..."
.
Vesper, teary cleared her throat.
.
"Pray, do not be deceived… that is no hand." She said...
She stepped forward, her gaze sharp.
"That, my dear, is a death sentence given form, and it's a paw."
.
"DUH, it is a paw!"
.
Then the creature suddenly forces its head through.
.
And HOLY...
.
Its face is a nightmare...
A wolf skull shape.
But with a bit of a dragon skin, still has fur tho.
And... multiple eyes blinking in random patterns!!!
Left cheek, right cheek, forehead, jaw, some that shouldn't even EXIST, even... It's eyebrows has eyes!!!
.
"That's disgusting as hell..." I muttered.
.
The eyes are blinking randomly, then suddenly
EVERY eyes opened at the same time, staring at me, Ivy, vesper, and the cashier,
.
"HAAAAAAAAH" it took, it's first breath.
A wave of hot air bursts out, distorting the space around us.
.
Every breath it send out dark smoke, curling around its mouth like a poison fog.
.
Then the cashier stood up and then she noticed the breath.
.
The cashier then, okay... Lila collapses to the ground once again
.
(There I gave her, RIGHTS! I can't just call her Cashier all the time.)
.
"OoOoOH HELL NO! that thing was NOT in my dream."
.
tears start to form in Lila eyes, *sniff, *sobs, *sob. "Wahhhhhh, someone wake me up from this nightmare."
.
Then... the creature steps out fully now.
.
It stand 3… no, 4 meters tall. (A/N. No 6. Seven!!!!)
.
Wings are folded against its back, massive dragon-like, and it's body has cracked with glowing lines scars.
.
Its body is a wolf shaped, but too long, too Big, (like me) and too wrong...
.
Its paws hit the ground— claws long enough to peel a car open like a can.
.
THUD, THUD, THUD.
Each step cracks the ground.
.
Then the glowing cracks all over its body glowed, like it has a heartbeat.
Tudud… tudud… tudud….....
And something alive INSIDE, is trying to get out.
.
Ivy whispered, voice shaking, and holding my legs... Like a penguin.
"Ahjussi… it's... it's looking at us…"
.
All of the creature's eyes blink—
One by one—
.
plap, plap, plap, plap, plap.
Then all at once.
PLAPPP!
. (A/N. I dont know The sound of multiple eyeballs blinking. I asked everyone but no one knows.)
Every eye turned toward Si Hon.
.
Vesper steps forward again immediately, even tho she doesn't have her 'DEVINE' power.
.
"behind me," she commanded, her voice low but unwavering.
.
"You stand before a Corrupted Beast, a wretched, malformed thing, birthed from mana that has lost all reason."
.
I stared...
"Failed? FAILED?? THAT'S WHAT FAILURE LOOKS LIKE???"
.
The beast inhaled
The air got sucked fast into its mouth.
Then it inhaled, and the smoke got thic-ker.
.
It took a step and the ground vibrate.
.
Ivy gripped my legs.
.
"AHJUSSI, RUN!!! let's run again! RUN PART TWO!!!"
.
And then.
.
The beast roar. "RAWR..."
.
A sound so deep and violent like it's abusing me, sucking the air out of my lungs.
.
The creature roar again. "RAWR!!!"
A sound that shook the air, the light pole, my body, my groceries... My groceries! My EVERYTHING...
.
Ivy screamed, hugging my legs.
.
Vesper braces herself, empty handed, magic less, ready to fistfight a 4 meters tall monster.
.
And then—
.
Lila stands up.
.
Just stands...
.
She wiped her tears with the back of her sleeve like she's clocking in for her shift again.
.(A/N. She finna lock in!!!)
She sniffles.
Step forward.
.
infront of us.
.
I grabbed Ivy, and carried her.
.
"HEY, what are you doing?" I said.
.
Lila raised a finger, and put it in her mouth.
.
"Shh. Let me think."
.
The beast roars again, louder! "RAWWWR"
The ground CRACKED.
.
Ivy: "AHJUSSI SHE'S GONNA DIE!!! We're gonna DIE!!!"
.
But Lila just stared at the portal like she's trying to remember something.
.
"…Okay," she mumbles. "This is definitely not my usual dream. The monster is different. The setting is different. Mr. Si Hon is definitely not supposed to be here."
.
She took a deep breath.
.
Once again. THEN—
.
She turned to us.
Expression calm.
Completely serious.
.
"Listen."
Vesper and Ivy froze.
Lila point at the monster.
.
"It's fine."
"…WHAT???"
"Just relax," she said. "Don't attack it. Don't run. Don't cream. Don't breathe too loud."
.
Vesper: "Madam Lila, that abomination shall rend us limb fro—"
.
"Nope," Lila interrupts, holding up a finger. "Trust me."
.
She looks at the monster again, tilting her head like she's watching, waiting, Uhhhh examine.
.
"…Something or someone is going to take it."
Silence.
Si hon: "Take what?"
Lila: "The monster."
.
I blinked.
Ivy blinks.
Even the beast tilt its head like "Huh... RAWR RAER RAWR?"
.
Lila nods to herself.
"Just watch. In my dreams, something ALWAYS takes it."
.
.
.
.
