Fuck.
I didn't even know what was happening I didn't want to be chased by a monster boss. Especially when i didn't know what the hell was going on.
Everything went silent.
We waited for a few minute, trying to hear if the monster was still there.
"I think it's gone." I whispered to Clair "I think it's safe now."
I roll out of the roots and I bend down and help her off the ground.
I suddenly felt a chill run my spine and I grabbed Clair and jumped to the side.
Bang.
Something heavy crashed into where we were standing a few minutes ago.
I finally saw it. The thing that had been chasing us. It was certainly a thing of nightmares. It was a human but at the same time no human looked like that.
It's spine was basically non-existent as the creature was bent into a spider pose, it's head 180 degrees away from the direction of her body. A eerie smile was plastered on her face. I would struggle to call it a face it was a continuous runny puss where eyes and nose were supposed to be. A mouth with sawlike teeth was the only other feature on the creatures head.
It had no eyes but I could feel it lock its eyes on me.
"Run!" Clair shouted.
We ran and the creature followed us. It climbed the tree jumping from tree to tree, keeping up to us.
My lungs felt like they were on fire. I slowed down I had no choice but to.
I felt the creature lock on to me and without hesitation I jumped to the side, doding the creatures' lunge.
It jumped again this time I was unlucky as it landed solidly on my chest. It snarled at me getting ready to bite down on me. I grabbed a nearby stick and shoved it in its mouth pushing it up preventing it from biting down on me. My fingers dipping into its puss covered face. I did everything to prevent myself from vomiting.
My luck seemed to have failed as the stick broke allowing the creature to bite into the side of my neck. The pain was overwhelming and a shrill scream came out of my mouth as I panicked as i held its head and pulled trying to seperate it for me.
"Get off, get off, get off" I screamed panickedly
It bit deeper drawing more blood ecstatically.
Clair chose this moment to save me hitting the head off the creature with a stick causing to tear a portion of flesh but i savored the freedom I had received as I crawled away, the adrenaline numbing the pain.
I crawled away from the scene as i heard more people coming. My breath coming out in ragged gasps. A foot appeared in my sight.
I grabbed it desperately"Help me..." I croaked.
"How pathetic" I heard the owner of the foot say.
My blood turned to ice as I heard the voice. I looked up and I saw the person I wanted to see the least. Me.
The second version of me leaned down and touched the side of my neck and i felt a itchy sensation appear.
"There that should prevent you from dying" It said with a sadistic smile.
"What are you?" I croaked
It smirked, "you'll find out soon enough."
I heard Clair approaching my direction and I looked back and "he" had disappeared.
Clair approached me, a few unknown guys were following her. They were armed to the teeth and i could tell they were professional. Used to killing.
I looked at Clair and I felt something about her had changed.Her face was a mask of indifference.
"Uh..What happened to the creature?" I asked
"Dead." Clair said indifferently wiping a pistol I assumed she got from one of the people surrounding her.
She stood up and walked towards me kneeling down till she was eye and pointing her gun directly to the centre of my forehead
"Who are you?"
