Run! Run! Run!
Sammy's head was filled with thoughts of running. He was running like never before.But at this point it was natural for him to run like this. Afterall, his life depended on it. He was running away after stealing a book containing some scriptures from the Church Of Manstoul along with Jason white.
Jason was Sammy's childhood friend. Jason and Sammy along with a girl named Alisa had spent their entire lives together. They could sacrifice anything for each other.
And that is what Sammy and Jason were doing right now.
One day, Sammy and Jason went to Alisa's house, but could not find her there. But the thing that scared them was not Alisa not being in her house, but the fact that her room was filled with thousands of ants. Their minds were filled with questions and their hearts were filled with terror. But they were not ready for the scene that they were going to witness. Soon the ants began a coordinated movement and gradually started forming letters. It was like some unknown creature was trying to communicate with them by using those ants as a medium. The ants slowly formed many letters and sentences that told them about what had happened with Alisa. They came to know that Alisa had been abducted by the unknown creature that was using the ants as a medium to communicate with them. He told them by using the ants that if they wanted to live a happy life again with Alisa, they had to steal the book containing scriptures from the Church of Manstoul. He also gave them every information they needed about the Church and also the place where the scriptures were hidden. After giving the information, all the ants exited the room through the window and the door at a speed that was unusual for ants. Sammy and Jason were very confused after seeing all the extraordinary things that had happened with them in just a span of few minutes. They were so much confused that their brain could not distinguish between reality and dream anymore. For them it was like a scary nightmare. But soon, they snapped back to reality and came to realise that it was not some nightmare, but a reality they had to face. They quickly analysed what had happened with them.They knew that this robbery was not going to be easy and they could even lose their lives.
But to save Alisa they were ready to do so.
They analysed the information provided to them about the Church and the scriptures and quickly came up with a plan.
Their plan had worked as they were able to steal the scriptures from the Church. But a single miscalculation in their plan had led them to a situation where they were being followed by a priest from the Church.
...
Sammy and Jason were running through the forest while the priest was following them.
To their surprise the priest was running faster than any ordinary person. But under the cover of trees and bushes, they were somehow avoiding being caught.
Jason was running a little ahead of Sammy.
While running, Jason saw a fallen tree ahead of him. He started running faster and jumped over the tree and reached the other side of the tree. A little ahead was the edge of the cliff which follwed a terrifying ditch. Sammy followed Jason while he prepared himself to jump over the obstackle in his path.Sammy put all his energy into his feet as he took a jump over the tree.
Just as he reached other side of the tree, he felt something soft hit his right shoulder.
He was about to look at his shoulder but suddenly his right shoulder burst. It was like a little explosive had exploded in his right shoulder
"Aaaaa...!" Sammy screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
Jason looked at Sammy. He galnced at Sammy's shoulder and saw white bones covered with blood. More than half of the mass of Sammy's shoulder were gone.
He asked "Sam....! What happened to you...? How did this happen?"
He ran towards Sammy and was about to help him get up when he realised that the priest was standing on the fallen tree and staring coldly at them.
"You fools...! Don't you fear the God..? How dare you steal from God's place?" The priest screamed in agony.
He came down from the fallen tree, raised his hand, clenched his first and started attacking Jason.
Jason dodged his attack by rolling on the ground to priest's left side and kicked him at his legs.
Priest fell to the ground and had an expression of surprise in his face because he had not expected this robber's kick to had such power.
Jason lifted his legs up again as he was ready to hit the priest one more time but then the priest again lifted his right hand and pointed his index finger towards Jason. A bubble came out from the priest's finger and started moving towards Jason.
Jason saw the bubble coming his way and got aside from the bubble's trajectory. The bubble hit the branch of the tree besides Jason. As soon as the bubble hit the branch, the branch burst. It looked like the branch had burst due to some extreme internal pressure.
Sammy was watching all this happen while sitting on the ground, holding his right shoulder with his left hand. From the day Alisa had gone missing, he knew that all those supernatural powers that he had only heard rumors about, actually existed. But seeing such a power still sent chills down his spine.
Sammy got up from the ground and started walking towards Jason. They looked at each other and knew that both were having same thoughts. They wanted to run away from there.
Just as they they started running, the priest got up from the ground. He opened his mouth and started to blow heavily. A bubble came out from his mouth. This bubble was faster than his other two bubbles and its size gradually kept increasing as the bubble moved towards Jason.
Jason was running while looking ahead when the bubble hit him. But this bubble did not make Jason's body explode. It surrounded Jason's body like Jason was a prisoner in it. Jason was having a hard time moving. Sammy stopped at his track and looked at Jason.
Before he could speak something, the priest approached him and punched him in his mouth. Sammy felt a strong force against his face and fell to the ground. He had never been hit this hard before. He looked around and saw two of his teeth were scattered on the ground.
"You lowlife. You have the book stolen from the Church, right? If you want to see your friend safe, then return the Holy book."
Sammy knew he could never beat this superhuman with such supernatural powers. He was in 'A well in front, a ditch behind' situation.If he gave up on those scriptures then he was never going to see Alisa again. And if he didn't, then who knew what would happen to Jason.
He looked at Jason. Jason did not say anything. He looked very calm. His eyes were not filled with fear, but with confidence like he could deal with this situation very easily.
Sammy's eyes were filling with darkness. The injury from before was finally showing effects. He had lost too much blood. He was feeling dizzy and could not even stand properly.
He gathered all his strength and said,"No...
I..... I will never give up on my friends." Just as he said that the priest held him with collar and started punching him. He punched him again and again untill blood was comming from every part of his face and his face was sawollen like a jellyfish.
Sammy was losing his mind due to all the beating and blood loss. He could not even tell what was happening around him anymore. He was in the verge of blanking out.
He heard the priest say" How can you be so much foolish. No one should go against God. Whoever defies God perishes in the pages of history. You can not win here.... You are just going to lose."
Sammy heard a voice in his head. This was his own voice. But it was filled with rage. The voice screamed in agony"Lose .....!? Did he just say lose? ...No..... that's not right. I....
I never...lose. I never lose."
Just as the voice passed through Sammy's mind, he found his right hand grabbing the priest by the throat. He was grabbing him so badly and strongly that there were tears and fear in the priest's eyes. He had no idea how Sammy had turned into such a monster, but neither did Sammy.
Sammy was losing consciousness slowly.
He barely knew what he was doing and hardly had any control over his body. It was like someone else was controlling his body.
His eyes were slowly filling with darkness.
Soon he blanked out completely.
....
"Sam.....Sam...wake up Sam."
Sammy was woken up by Jason's voice. He was still feeling a little dizzy and could not remember what had happened with him. Then he saw the priest lying on the ground, a little far from him. His throat was torn apart. There was blood all around it.
Sammy was shocked to see it. Sammy wanted to know how all of it had happened.
He felt something in his right hand. He took a look at his right hand. It was closed with blood comming out of it.
Sammy was afraid to open his hand. He did not want to face the reality, but he could not run away from it either. He gathered all his courage and finally opened his hand. His eyes were filled with terror as he saw the part of priest's throat that was torn apart was right there in his hands. He quickly threw it away and looked at both of his hands.
"How.....how did this happen? Did I do all this?" He asked Jason. He was afraid that his answer was going to be a yes.
"We can talk about that later. First, we have to escape from here, otherwise, other people from church might come here looking for him." Jason said.
Sammy remembered that it was not the time to know how he had done it but the time to save his childhood friend Alisa. He slowly got up with Jason's help.
"You can give those scriptures to me. I will carry them, or you might be targeted again. You won't be able defend yourself in the condition you are in right now".
Sammy knew that Jason was right.
" Yes , that's true. At this point I don't even know how I am still alive. You should take these scriptures."
Sammy took his right hand inside the black robe he was wearing and took out the scriptures that were contained in a small book from there. He handed them to Jason.
At the moment Sammy's biggest fear was that some other people from church might come here. He knew that only one priest was enough to kill them both. So, if they came in a group they were dead for sure.
Knowing that they had to hurry, Sammy walked ahead a little. He was at the edge of the cliff. He could see the enormous ditch, but could not see it's end.
Sammy was about to tell Jason that they should start running when he suddenly felt a sharp object pierce through his heart. He looked down and saw that a sword had penetrated his chest.
Sammy thought that his biggest fear had come true. Other people from church had arrived there. But, he had no way of knowing that the real situation was far worse than he could ever imagine.
He slowly turned his head around and saw Jason. His arm had transformed into a bright shinning sword. The same sword that was inside Sammy's heart right now. Sammy was now out of thoughts. He could not think anything. He was feeling like his mind was dead.
"Jason....why did you" Sammy was about to complete his sentence when Jason suddenly pulled the sword back from his heart. His eyes were filled with happiness.
It was like he had achieved the goal of his life. There was a creepy smile on his lips.
"I have done it. I have finally done it. Now I can live the life I always wanted to. This last one year I spent with you was the worst time of my life. This time was very hard for me. But no more, because I have finally done it. This world should thank me, because finally,
I have killed the Untamed monster."
After saying these words, he pushed Sammy from the edge of the cliff feeling confident that there was no way he was going to survive.
Sammy was looking at Jason's smirking face as he was falling down. He had no will left at all. He just kept staring at Jason as he was falling away from him as the seconds passed. He finally closed his eyes. It looked like he was giving up on everything.
