Chapter 14 - CH 14

I couldn't move.

Hundreds of scarlet eyes stared at me with…

Hunger.

Something sharp entered my leg.

I looked down in jagged intervals, trembling so badly I could barely make out what was going on below me.

And I saw it.

Three rabbits, their teeth latched onto my calf.

I winced, a strained sound escaping me.

I collapsed to the floor.

A-AGHRH!!!

Frantically kicking, I tried to get them off me.

Digging my palms into the ground, I tried to push myself back.

But before I could even apply the force, I fell backwards.

Looking to the right, I saw another rabbit.

Holding my hand in its bloodied jaw.

AHHHH!!—IT HURTS!—STOP!

One by one, they jumped onto me.

I felt something tear into my shoulder.

A-AGGH!

Then something claw through my stomach.

Sobbing, I begged.

AGGH—PLEASE! S-STOP!

Heart.

Lungs.

Legs.

Arms.

Until eventually, all I felt was blinding pain.

This was the end.

My vision started tunnelling.

My hearing faded.

Eventually, even the pain disappeared.

All that was left was void.

Except…

A small, almost imperceptible tug.

….

….

Forwards.

A voice called.

….

….

Forwards, it called again.

This time, I replied.

I can't move.

Forwards, it responded.

My arms, m-my legs… everything's gone.

Forwards,it repeated.

I CAN'T! I screamed.

Forwards

Starting to sob, I replied once again.

I-I can't.

Forwards.

Straining, I tried to move my mangled body, expecting nothing.

Yet I felt dirt collapse where my arm was meant to be.

How? I muttered.

But that movement brought back unimaginable pain.

AGGHH!

Forwards, it repeated.

Struggling to drag myself forwards, another burst of pain exploded throughout my body.

Forwards.

I felt searing tears run down my mangled face.

I crawled.

Forwards.

Another sharp pain.

I continued crawling.

Forwards.

Crawl.

Forwards.

Move.

Forwards.

Crawl.

All of a sudden, the pain flared dozens of times over.

A-ARGHHH!!

I felt like keeling over and accepting it, but…

Forwards.

Gritting my cracked teeth, I dragged myself one last time.

FORWARDS!

It all disappeared.

The pain.

The teeth.

The screeches.

The blood.

It's gone.

It's all gone.

I passed out at that moment.
