SCARVILLE- EVIL HAS NO LIMIT (HORROR)

Chapter 9- Reality or Illusion

He continues to walk until he feels a cold breeze hit his skin. He looks ahead. There is nothing.

“Stop!” a voice shouts from the darkness.

Sean turns around. There is nobody. Just emptiness surrounding him. A sudden rush of wind hits him causing him to stumble to the floor. He quickly stands up and looks at where the wind came from. He hears shuffling, moving, and something else. He turns around.

There is a silhouette in the darkness just a few feet away. Its arms and legs are shaking. It seems to be struggling.

Sean's mouth drops open as he recognizes what it is. He runs back over to the door, slamming it shut behind him just in time as he watches the creature jump through the opening. It lands with a thud, scratching the floor before it quickly gets up and runs toward him.

Sean grabs the handle, preparing himself to open it once more, as the monster reaches for him.

However, before the monster could grab him, he hears a crash from above. He looks back to see the monster being pushed down the steps. He runs back to the stairs just as he hears a crash come from above.

Sean climbs the stairs until he reached another small hallway. He walks along it as another crash comes from above. Sean turns to see a piece of the ceiling breaking loose as the figure falls onto the ground, landing right in front of him. Sean screams, backing away.

However, he trips over the object in front of him and falls. In front of him lays the monster, which is still clutching onto the shattered ceiling tile.

Sean quickly rolls to his side and scrambles away from the fallen creature before it gets to him. It groans and struggles to get up, but then it collapses once more. Sean quickly crawls away as the thing gets closer and closer to him. It reaches out its hand, aiming directly for him.

“Run!” Sean screams.

It moves its hand to the left, causing the tiles covering the doorway to fall on top of Sean. Sean crawls as fast as he can before the creature reaches him. As he crawls, it grabs onto his leg pulling him towards itself. Once it gets ahold of him, it begins dragging Sean deeper into the ruins.

It throws Sean to the side, knocking the wind out of him. Sean crawls away as it stands upright with its massive wings stretched out. Sean gets up from his position and looks at the creature with fear. It walks toward him, showing no intention to stop. He backs away slowly, terrified, but there is nowhere to escape. He stops when the creature comes closer to him.

The creature stops as well. It slowly reaches out for Sean, grabbing him by the collar. He looks into its red eyes which are now shining brightly due to the full moon. He feels the warmth emanating from the creature's body. He knows that the monster will soon eat him, so he puts all his strength into one final punch. It crashes right into the monster's face and immediately, it releases him. Sean runs as fast as he can away from the monster as the monster staggers on its feet. After a couple of minutes of running, the creature gives chase.

Sean runs for as far as his legs will carry him and then falls to his knees. Before he can get up the monster grabs hold of him from behind. It holds Sean in its grip and shakes him hard, making him scream and whimper in pain.

The monster raises Sean high in the air and slams him against the wall. It holds him in one hand while the other hand presses against the wound, pressing hard enough to bleed.

Sean is starting to lose consciousness.

Suddenly he can feel himself being dropped, his neck twisting painfully as he falls to the ground. He opens his eyes and sees black spots in front of his eyes. The creature slowly stands up straight. Sean sees a long dark red blade protruding from its chest. He turns to look at the monster before.

There was a moment of silence before it started laughing, causing the blade to vibrate with laughter.

Sean sees the red liquid dripping from the wound on the monster's chest. The creature slowly approaches Sean, lifting its knife high above it as if it wants to strike down on him. It brings the knife down, and Sean closes his eyes waiting for the inevitable end.

Suddenly he feels a slight burning sensation on his right shoulder. Then everything turns white.
